Hardware Why haven't you bought a 3DS yet?

stanleyopar2000 · Jun 24, 2011

kinda expensive.
no job...but i'm starting my own business anyway.
played OoT already years ago..once for real.(still own both N64 Cartridges!)..second time on 1964
3D is a bit of a gimmick...common..3D PHONES?!
hmmm...PS Vita. Same price...but i'm more of a Nintendo fanboy anyway

(owns only 2 sony devices..compared to a lot more Nintendo devices)
some 3D games like PilotWings 3DS made me want to vomit and rip my eyes of my skull....but some like Steel Diver, DoA, and Steet Fighter were okay (in moderation)

For me the lack of fund is not a problem.

It is 324 $ in Denmark.

But the price is still a problem. There is not many games that I am interested and so far only title I wanna play on it is Metal Gear Solid 3 (not out yet :/) and Zelda OoT.

So the question is more: Will you pay 324 $ to play OoT remastered?

I'm close to buying it because I can always play DS titles on it, but paying 324 $ for OoT and playing DS titles?

So its not a lach of fund, but more a wether or not the price is worth it.

I'm poor, 250$ is way too steep of a price.

1. The launch titles were the worst in hndheld history. There's still hardly any games worth playing.
2. It's not hacked
3. The really nice gold and red colors never came out. I don't like the colors available.
4. It's built like crap. There are problems with the top screen scratching and they left the analog stick gray, didn't even bother to paint it like in the demo models. Then there's battery life. Maybe I'll wait for the 3ds lite.
5.It's expensive for what it offers. I'm not paying $250 for that. I'll wait until I can pic one up for $150. If sales keep up at this rate that shouldn't be long.

1. The launch titles suck
2. I'll buy it when Paper Mario 3D is released

Lack of funds and caution from complaints.

tj_cool · Jun 24, 2011

I'm currently not really interested in it. Few games I find worth it at the moment.
Also planning to buy a smartphone, so yeah.

My brother said he'll get one, so we'll see

so you want to hack the shit out of 3DS games why don't you??.....and once it does become hacked..developers are going to start "delaying" and "cancelling" projects..due to the lack or motivation because of people like you pirating 3DS games. (like the PSP)

let me tell you, when I get income..I will be more than happy to buy 3DS games...the developers deserve it...

same here.... waiting for a new revision and the cash to buy it

muckers · Jun 24, 2011

Lack of killer apps - that's it. Price, too, I supposed but only in the sense that if it was cheaper I'd be more inclined to drop money on it and give it a go.

Now Zelda's out I might grab one with Street Fighter since they're the only titles that interest me - staff discount as well helps.

Starfox is out in a couple of months so I'll get that too. Plus Mario Kart and Super Mario before the year's end, and Luigi's Mansion sometime next year along with Paper Mario, mean that the titles are coming....just not quite yet.

Loop · Jun 24, 2011

Hmmm... I can't really justify the expense right now, even though if I sold my remaining DS lite & XL I'd be getting close.
However if Mario Kart 3D had been released at launch I'd probably have found a way!

I'll probably wait and see when the price goes down & there are a few more titles I'm interested in.

Piracy should not be a deciding factor for getting a game system.

Tell that to almost every PSP user.

It doesn't matter if the majority bought a PSP for that.
Fact remains that piracy should not be a deciding factor.

Sadly, it's the deciding factor of probably 75% of this community.

The screen scratching issue

The wobbly top issue

The battery life issue

The overpricing issue

Nintendo's own 1st party games have bored me for the most part of the last 15 years so I'm not exactly going crazy about getting stuff at launch.

3D doesn't impress me in any shape or form I just like playing good games, I don't give a toss about 3D on any system.

When the lite version comes out, and IF these issues are dealt with I'll buy one, as for now, there's a good 30 DS games I want to play through first.

[M]artin · Jun 24, 2011

Games suck. Colors suck. I'll wait for the design revision, lol.

Dangy · Jun 24, 2011

It hasn't been hacked yet.

DeadLocked · Jun 24, 2011

First of all the design. I hate that chin, especially how it is multi-tonal.
Then I dislike the colours that are out. Blue looks alright on the internet but in real life it looks nasty. The aluminium lid looked okay though. Then the black is tacky looking all over. If they had put out the orange model they showed at E3 I would have bought it.
I'll get a Lite or 3DSi when it comes in a better colour (I think a dark chrome would look nice) and isn't a rip off in the UK. (Although it's now £150 which is around $240 so it's getting better.)
