Because there are not any good games thus far. A good remake, maybe, but I might buy one when something new/original comes out.

Lets hear your opinion.


My only reasoning is Pokemon Black and White were NOT released in 3D on the 3DS.
Not worth 250 dollars for not 3D Pokemon.

That's a crap reason. Pokemon should never be the deciding factor whether to buy a console.

It's $250 and only has few good games.

Once the price drops and it has a larger software library I will definitely be picking one up

It's even more of a crap reason. 3D Pokemon should never be the deciding factor whether to buy a console...

I could understand maybe if he was waiting for a new Pokemon game before getting it, but that is a really dumb reason.

Back on topic: I got mine at launch, and I'm lovin' it.

The reason is quite simple: People's lack of funds, inappropriate season to buy consoles and the 3ds poor library. Maybe 3ds sales will boost at Christmas season. I bought my 3ds at launch day and I haven't bought a single 3ds game because there isn't one that interest me. If you ask me now I'll would have waited a few more months (maybe Christmas) to buy the 3ds.

being able to view it in 3d should not be your decidig factor as the 3ds CONSOLE is more than a DS .... it has a better graphics engine and better touch screen(more comparable to a iphone touchscreen) that you can use your finger on instead of stylus, motion controls, augmented reality, one friend code for every 3ds game, etc....

The games... not enough that I would really really want to get my hands on.

The $250~300 wouldn't matter if the console had something really good.

Steep price.
Awful catalogue. Already played OOT3D.
Useless gimmick which still needs a lot of time to gain momentum in the games industry. (3D)
I tend to get tired of handhelds after a few months.
It gives me headaches.
Starting university soon, don't see the need.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
