3DS Not Immune to Long Loading Times

[machomuu]

developers should make load time minigames!

Yeah, I've actually found some very fun and addicting loading mini-games...Wait a minute...that has to be an oxymoron.

Long loading times build character. Its a positive compromise.

Well, you did ask for better graphics, there had to be some compromise somewhere.
Plus, as flash cart users most of us should be used to this by now.

People must be very impatient if they can't wait 10-15 seconds for something to load. :/
EDIT: Also if you go to 2:07 in the RE video, why is the Y button to pick up yellow?

heh, I noticed that when I was watching on gametrailers.
I just put it down to bad use of resources/demo versions.

I wouldn't say long loading times are that bad at all. It's how frequent they are that would really get on one's nerves. If it's just once for every level, it wouldn't be bad at all (which looks like the case here). Though if there are many loading points in every level and you have to load every time you die or just talk to another character or watch a cutscene, it can be a serious issue. Like i said, Sonic 06. If those weren't so frequent, it wouldn't be bad. I seriously doubt many developers are stupid enough to follow that loading procedure anyways.

The minigames idea is great actually, except they can't make them extremely addictive, that way you'll be like: "Oh man I am so good at this minigame, hey WTF, I don't wanna play Final Fantasy anymore! [ enters another stage] oh man I am so good at this, hey!.."
No but really, >15 seconds and you complain? Cut down on the coffee.
