Like i said, i honestly don't care about handhelds, never had one, never will buy one, because i have no intention to play games on the go. If i'm anywere on the go (in weekends, vacations, etc.) i'm gonna enjoy it with friends and family, without games. There's always a place and time to play video games.
how can u like the wii?! what is likable about it? the 3ds is an homage for the vintage nintendo fans whereas the wii is an insult, and a slap in the face! that's just my opinion.I like the Wii. The wii was 3ds before the 3ds was kool

Overpriced and outdated hardware that uses a gimmick as a crutch?MFDOOM1983and so was the wiii...lol!

That maybe true but for the other two consoles this gen one was def. overpriced and the other used faulty hardware. No gimmicks (cept 6 axis) but no really diff from the previous gen cept graphics. Each person had to choose. I got a PSP first then a Wii but i think most gamers were happy. The ones who were not sold there wiis or let them rot.

Over-priced compared to what? With 360 and ps3 you get a system several times more powerful, large HDD's, media capable devices(bluray, streaming etc.) and internet services not from the mid 90's. Nintendo has gone on record saying they raised the wii and 3ds price by $50 each after the warm reception at e3. 360 and ps3 are a steal compared to what the wii offers.[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"]Overpriced and outdated hardware that uses a gimmick as a crutch?PA_DUTCH

i have all three major consoles. i would have to say that the ps3 is worth every penny. at least u actually benefitted from owning it. it has so much functionality, not to mention, wait for it, a blu ray player. which contrary to the popular consensus on this forum, is very essential, as we are now seeing the limitations of the standard dvd. the box is serviceable, but the lack of built in wifi and internet browser is unforgivable. the wii, though it has an internet browser, is just plain unacceptable. but this isn't a wii bashing thread, so i'll get my rocks off on the 3ds![QUOTE="PA_DUTCH"][QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"]Overpriced and outdated hardware that uses a gimmick as a crutch?MFDOOM1983

if the 360s didn't have faulty hardware at launch the you would be correct but it was overpriced because it was garbage. PS3 was super expensive at lanuch and IMO overpriced. But i do think you have a good point as they do online much better than the wii and have much better storage (although it doesn't matter because the wii doesn't have games that do online well anyways, this is not a positive), as things stand today the 360 seems like the best deal. But doesn't matter to me...not getting another system anytime soon
[QUOTE="daveg1"]each their own i think its just a rehash system..cainetao11agreed. the Wii is exactly what it shoud be, a fun game console.uh oh, i think i attracted the sheep...lol! i'm looking forward to the 3ds, i've given up on the wii, except for skyward sword. the 3ds has the titles that i wanted on the wii.
[QUOTE="godsendBLISS"][QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"]Overpriced and outdated hardware that uses a gimmick as a crutch?PA_DUTCHand so was the wiii...lol! you said it yourself....well, the software still appears to be more appealing. and i'm digging the third party support.
no, i haven't. to be honest, i'm gonna wait for the reception. i'll hold out until xmas. plus, it is a lil' pricey...lol!you won't have to wait long. Did you pre order it yet?

How can it be? It has the VC for classic games and a bunch of great Nintendo IPs including three 2D platformers (DKCR, NCMBii and KEY). Four if you count the new Kirby game.

SMG/2, DKCR, SSBB, KEY, MP3:C, NSMBW, TLoZ:SS, new Kirby.
You can't be a Nintendo fan without seeing this.

I'm very interested in how you *calculated* this. care to explain?
EDIT: :lol: I know how you *calculated* this, you just multiplied the ram in the ds (which is 4 mbs) by 24 = 96 mbs which is what's in the 3ds. and that's how you got 24 times.
so Ram is everything now? seriously people, if you don't know what you're talking about don't say anything.
exactly, and the 3ds should be the primary console.The Wii should have been a Handheld?

600 dollars was overpriced.. but to each their own..
It was worth every 3500 penny I payed XD[QUOTE="godsendBLISS"]i have all three major consoles. i would have to say that the ps3 is worth every penny. KBFloYd

The PS3 was $600, which was expensive but not overpriced. The console sold at a loss, and for the money you paid, you got a Blu-Ray player (which at the time would have set you back like $800), plus a solid gaming system with fairly good features. On the other hand the Wii was essentially on overclocked GC (man the gamecube was a great system though, so many good games for it that looked great, like rebel strike)., but yeah anyway it was essentially an over clocked GC, except that the parts used where of a smaller size (die size), and the system was sold for $250 (overpriced since GC was $100).in my opinion, the wii was okay, but It felt like they just threw it out into the market with a few big title games. I was disapointed when a few of the games came out like
Pokemon Battle Revolution
New super mario bros wii was good, but hard
and many others that just didn't seem to feel right on the wii because of something....
I think the 3ds will be great, I just want to make sure that nintendo doesn't do what they did this time again, because, I just bought a dsi last may. I think that nintendo is a good company that just releases systems, nowadays, too fast.
