They didn't produce low numbers of the Ambassador 3DS consoles. All of the Ambassador consoles, the review consoles and the launch consoles are all the same and would have been manufactured months and months ago at the same time. The only things that Nintendo would have produced few in number would have been the exclusive face plates and the exclusive box that it all came in.

Everyone really needs to stop worrying, they're all going to release with 9.0.

That's not really mean anything (as firmware are probably ready weeks or months ago, except hot-fix ones) though I think the same. But as long as we don't have official confirmation, people should not say it like it's an official thing because it's just some assumptions,and it might influence some peoples.

For the next system, whatever is it, I won't take the first version personnally, it's not like the 3DS had a lot of games as the beginning anyway and I avoid doing that for all systems now, first ones are often the ones with the most problems.

I am fine with the concept of 3D just not this crap that hurts my boys and my eyes. I am happy other people enjoy it.

The only thing the N3DS offers me is the new stick, faster processor and maybe some exclusives. Not convinced yet especially with uncertain gateway support.

N3DS completely resolved the 3D issue & if anything nintendo will only make 3D better if they decide to add it to their next gen console (higher res screens),also i'm sure they will add a proper analog stick this time,actually i think this is why they gave N3DS the C stick to save the analog stick for next gen console.

No system has a lot of games initially but rather quickly all the GOOD games are only released on it. Seen any good Wii or DS games recently? Or are you just talking about the first manufacturing batch?

That is my fear. Only 2 years out of the N3DS. I am good with 3. 2 years is so Apple.

Well in terms of new systems overall:

Ds came out 2004
3DS came out 2011
New Handheld generation should be 2018 imo, late 2017 isnt too bad

This makes the most sense, the N3DS will take us to the end of the generation. We should have plenty of years with it.

Wii/DS? I think you meant Wii U/3DS?

Recent good games on Wii U? : Bayonetta ; Smash Bros ; Captain Toad ; Watchdogs (for someone who don't have a PC or another system). Hyrule Warriors is not bad at all for someone who would like Musou (Dynasty Warriors-like) and Zelda at the same time.

On 3DS? : Smash Bros ; Pokemon OR/AS ; Ultimate Nes Remix ; Majora's Mask ; Monster Hunter 4 (not a big fan but it seems cool for fans).

(I only listed the ones released during the last few months I remember).

I was talking about the fact than when the 3DS first got released, there was a long time to wait before lots of (good) games started to be released. Same for Wii U by the way, and same for the DS when it was first released.

But it's a not a problem from Nintendo, it happen in every system. For example, right now, there isn't a lot of good/new PS4/Xbox One games, most of them are remastered versions of games already released on PS3/360/PC (TLOS, GTA V, Tomb Raider, Sleeping Dogs, Resident Evil Rebirth, Grim Fandango, etc...) or either games that also got released on the previous system (like Far Cry, Assassin Creed, etc...). First big exclusives games are still not here on those systems (Uncharted 4 and Metal Gear Solid V for example on PS4).

That's why now, I avoid to buy a new system at the beginning (but I don't consider a N3DS as a new system, it's still a 3DS).

 

[VeryCrushed]

One of the biggest things about new consoles is the fact that developers make new engines for there games on consoles which takes time, after they have an engine they can use it for future games. Look at how long it took to get a Pokemon game for 3DS. 3DS came out in 2011 and we got a game in 2013. Then this year we got another one, just one year later. Its the general process. Developers can then improve upon there engines to make games have new features etc.

man even i'm getting excited about GW now LOL!!!! I hope they release this weekend!

also whatever new console nintendo releases, PLEASE stop doing stupid crap like region locking!!! and it had better be backward compatible with 3ds and ds games.....

Misunderstanding. I thought you meant you would skip the first iteration of the next generation from Nintendo. The equivalent being skipping the 3DS entirely and waiting for the release of the N3DS and putzing around for the past 3 years with a DSlite/DSI.

So I meant exactly what I said about any recent good games recently for the DS or Wii. . I did just get a WII U by the way and have about 2O games including all you mentioned except Bayonetta, still waiting for a price break.

what happened here ?

What are you talking about? The major off topic?

Bortz won't care, he is in a good mood today. I helped straighten him out over in the noob thread earlier today.

Backward compatible with DS games? Are you kidding me? Nintendo miss out on the opportunity to resell you games you already purchased? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.

Biggest issue is that the home consoles get much less third party support and the Wii U has a very different architecture to PS4 and Xbox One, those are more like pcs and thus have more developers

At the moment in 2015, Wii U also has the smallest install base so it may turn out like N64 or Gamecube, system with mainly Nintendo games as opposed to Nes or SNES which had 3rd party but still Wii U should have a lot more good games in the future

man even i'm getting excited about GW now LOL!!!! I hope they release this weekend!

Yeh, the region locking crap is getting annoying; even Xbox One and PS4 are no longer region locked, region lock made no sense ever! Nintendo would have made WAY more money in SNES era if SNES wasn't region locked, so many good RPGs like Romancing Saga and Dragon quest weren't even available in US or EU and it's still the bset RPG system O_O, also it could change games sales a little for the better if it isn't region locked

Oh, not at all, except if it's really a bad system, but I will wait, at least, until the second revision, like the XL for the 3DS.

Backward compatible with DS games? Are you kidding me? Nintendo miss out on the opportunity to resell you games you already purchased? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.

Though, Nintendo is the only one that offer backward compatibility since a while.

Wii plays GC games.
Wii U plays Wii games.

GameBoy Advance plays GameBoy/GameBoy Color games.
First DS plays GameBoy Advance games.
3DS plays DS games.

So it would be just logic that the 3DS successor plays 3DS games, and same for the Wii U successor. But yeah, I assume that even if it plays 3DS games, it won't play DS games (too old). Backward compatibility with the previous system is already a good thing, would be insane if they also had to support older ones.
