So the DSi can be considered a successor?No, a revision is the exact same hardware with small differences, such as THE SIZE.Nintendo Fans Before E3:
"Nintendo surely isn't working on a revision, they said so! It would be a betrayal of fans who JUST bought a 3DS! I wouldn't get one!"
Nintendo Fans After This Announcement:
"Should I get the White one or the Silver one?"
Learn what a revision is. This is a bigger version. Nothing more. ABSOLUTELY NONE. They still play the exact same things, in the exact same ways. NO DIFFERENCES. A revision would be added hardware, more power, another screen(Hey...it'd have the 3 in it, at least.)
To those complaining, think of it this way: We could've got thrown a 3DS 2, with two circle pads. Like I said though, they'd piss the entire fanbase off with that move. So they aren't going to do that. It was blatantly obvious, the 3DS gets enough flack as it is by you unsatisfiable people.
Changing internal hardware, adding power or another screen is creating a successor. Sorry, but you're wrong.
Yes. Different CPU, different features, different OS.So the DSi can be considered a successor?
alunral said:DSi would be a successor, because...hey....guess what.. IT HAD NEW HARDWARE IN IT. MORE POWERFUL. MORE RAM. Size is not a revision. Size is merely a form factor.
IKR? I'm so laughing right now. Redesign with no charger included, and no 2nd slider pad. Considering it's only a revision, that is to be expected. XDIf this doesn't convince people that Nintendo hates its customers nothing will.
No charger included.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
;O;
Well you do like I do with my 3ds now. Buy a case that straps to your belt and wear it that way. Works out great.Here is a million dollar question for you. If its that much bigger how are you gonna fit it in your pocket to street pass with it? hahahaha
Bah. Crappy successor it was, then.Yes. Different CPU, different features, different OS.So the DSi can be considered a successor?
The only thing that connects it with the DS is the compatibility layer. A DSi is not a DS.
DSi would be a successor, because...hey....guess what.. IT HAD NEW HARDWARE IN IT. MORE POWERFUL. MORE RAM. Size is not a revision. Size is merely a form factor.
And it is. It has DSi-Specific content that can only work on a DSi due to hardware differences. Much like the Wii is capable of playing Gamecube games due to a compatibility layer, the DSi is capable of playing DS content. If you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk.
It baffles me as to why the DSi receive so little boxed titles and mostly crappy DSi-Ware. It was far more capable than the DS, but Nintendo wanted to sell more games thus they chose not to alienate the users which still had DS Lite's and DS Classic's, thus they chose to introduce DSiEnhanced features instead.Bah. Crappy successor it was, then.
It going to less pocket-able for some,but it can still fit in my pockets base on the dsi xl size. For people who didn't mind, there are bags. Also people with money, can just get both.Here is a million dollar question for you. If its that much bigger how are you gonna fit it in your pocket to street pass with it? hahahaha
I swear, Nintendo fans are harder to please than any other fans of anything else. Except maybe Sonic fans. Maybe.
people that have too much free timeWho the flying fucking cares about semantics of the word 'revision'?
Again, I think it was because of Nintendo's poor advertising thingy, like when people thought that the Wii U was just a controller.It baffles me as to why the DSi recieved so little boxed titles and mostly crappy DSi-Ware. It was far more capable than the DS, but Nintendo wanted to sell more games thus they chose not to alienate the users which still had DS Lite's and DS Classic's, thus they chose to introduce DSiEnhanced features instead.Bah. Crappy successor it was, then.
Mostly crappy features, but hey! Features.
Brace yourselves for the CPP XL!!
No seriously though dual analog isn't needed for any of the games on the system, you only need it if you're a leftie.
Which is why I don't get why Nintendo didn't include it, then again I don't think they want to piss people off like that.
The XL is bigger and makes games look ugly, I don't see the need to get this if you already have a standard 3DS with the exact same functions.
DS -> DS lite made the system smaller and the screens brighter.
This just makes it bigger...

It's the same reason why Pokemon Black and White 2 is a DS/DSi title, not a 3DS one specifically.
