Nintendo 3DS Conference 2011

[SpaceJump]

Jeesh, the amount of negativity from people.. what's the fuck up?!

The Nintendo 3DS won't get a redesign (atleast not in the near future) and it's far from dead. Last time I checked, there are atleast 50 titles being shown off @ TGS for the 3DS, which is more then double the amount any other console/handheld gets (also beating iPhone/Android

).

So fucking enjoy the conference and be amazed with what they'll show you!

Sure, there were 50 games shown of at TGS at the time, but I won't be surprised if the developers suddenly cancel those projects. This may be the next virtual boy, only that it sold more.

I was talking about the upcomming TGS, not the last one. So that should indicate atleast that developers have an enormous amount of faith in the system.

Okay, the developers have some sort of faith in the system, but what about the consumers and investors? If Nintendo don't pull any amazing titles soon, the 3DS is a dead system.

Starfox? Super Mario 3D Land? Mario Kart? Kid Icarus? Sonic? Then next year Luigi's Mansion, Paper Mario, RE Revelations ... and who knows what else is awaiting us next year...

I remember the DS was in a similar situation in its first year. Most people said "no good games" and "touch screen" gimmicky and the PSP sold better in the first year. And look where the DS is now. So don't panic guys, it all will be good

Don't know if it's been discussed yet, but I highly highly doubt Nintendo will announce or even hint at a hardware revision at this event. SImply because they're going to push out a new flame red 3DS on the 9th in the states, and holding an event on the 12th where they announce a new one coming out soon - poor sales. Nintendo has learned from the 3DS and they'll do whatever is necessary to make people buy it or buy more and doing something of this nature would be a horrible horrible idea.

This this.

The analog accessory maybe - but new console? No way. The flare red 3DS will be killed.

To be honest, anyone with a half a brain wouldn't believe those rumours. Think in business terms, you would want to sell out your current product during Xmas period. Say if the new hardware wouldn't be out till next summer, why the heck do you want to ruin your current and upcoming sales by announcing a product that isn't coming out anytime soon and which most definitely hamper your sales.

Not saying a new one coming, but what stopping them releasing the new product like .... tomorrow.

If they have a ready new product, no need to wait for the summer. Just announce and release.

Can't wait for this thing. (Conference)

I'm sure everyone wants to purchase a new model after 6 months.

I had a Flame Red 3DS pre-ordered on Amazon since the first day it was announced and price-cut to $169. I really, really wanted a 3DS in a flashy color, AND the price was cut... perfect time to buy!

I just got wind of this "hardware conference" a few days ago and instantly cancelled that pre-order. I'd rather be safe than sorry. Not this time, you hardware revising, redesigning mother fluffers...

I might be able to make it...will have to see how long the project meeting will take for me

[Deleted User]

Strangely, I'm not anticipating anything huge.

 

[Frogman]

I dont understand why the 3ds even needs a second analogue the original psp never had one and all the games on it played fine and the original ds's didnt even have one and only had a dpad and they were all great too! I dont get it

Im looking forward to this arvo where we find out hopefully about a new IP

I'll be catching early morning ZzzZZz's and later wake up to visit my University for 15mins, come back home and read the news. 3DS news that is. World news sux.

Btw it's Japoneez

(Japanese is old way of saying)

 

[spinal_cord]

Sorry,but no. These games(nes and gameboy) are good quality games.

Saying they should be a dollar. Is like saying Mario and such, have the same quality as iphone games
like angry birds, which is pretty wrong and sad really.

Um, you can buy most of these games cheaper on physical media than what Nintendo are charging for files they have had sitting on their computers for 20 years already.

You seriously think you are getting a good deal on something that they have almost no cost in giving you?
