[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]I refuse to buy anything Apple in the first place. Overpriced, overrated products. NaveedLife

This. The day apple runs the gaming industry, is the day we all lose.

the day all we can look foward is Angry birds 2 is when gaming dies. But it wont really happen.Games with richer bigger, better graphics are in demand, and they are growing in size. Portable systems have their place, iphone has their place.Games that are worth more than 1 dollar wont dissapear.Moreover, big budget games that require big loads of investment and cost 60 dollars wont dissapear.Because there is a market for them.If they were 1 dollar and hoped for mass sales there would be a huge problem, because their market isnt as vast. The casual farmville player is willing to pay 1 dollar for zinga, but not for BC.Its not an end-all-be-all-model.If big budget games followed the trend-they would go bankrupt rather quickly.And they know it. The marketting and distribution are things other companies could learn with, but Apple as a threat is different.What is giving apple their boost is the iphone-ipad.Not their gaming. Is easy to sell lots of games when you sell them under 1 dollar- it might appear is where people rather gets their games.But the truth is that they get them because they are cheap-and the payment is easy.Once the model is taken to a more appealing brand-its game.

touch screen>>>>>>>>> crappy portable analog sticks

p3anut

Have you tried some of the first person shooters for iphone? They are downright terrible. I would take analog sticks over a touch screen any day.

Have you even played a FPS on the DS? You use the stylus not your finger, plus you use the bottom screen so your hand is not blocking your view. The touch screen is so fast and accurate it's just like a mice. The touch screen works great and better than DA. The only downfall is that your hands can get tired over time.

i think the people who are waiting for this are people who back then never tried the DS stylus(FOR the most part), so the best they experienced was Iphone or the few psp offerings which had no touch screen.So for them , this extra analog should be pretty revolutionary.

stating facts Ds did get a LOAD of shooters, many more than PSP did. Because devs felt touch screen(bottom touch screen! NO IPAD -VITA touch screen). worked.They did loads of games and they worked.And all had online .On the OLD DS.3ds is quite capable, and it even has an analog . CODMW, COD BLACK OPS, COD WAW on the DS.Outside of nintendos goldeneye, or rogue agent or those DS shooters(and prime).

No psp cod Until vita(and i wouldnt be surprised it were and have a 3ds version as well). But even so, shooters arent the genre people like in portables that much. So it wont be a huge draw-the demand wasnt there. So i dont think devs will massively work into it.Some would be nice. Then again, the Prime hunters experience was top notch, and it was on the ds 4 years ago. 3ds has potential of much better now.I think that would be a good standart.

Yes it is, it has Mario and other characters from the Mario universe. Even if you counted that game, that's one.....

StealthMonkey4

Sad if you're serious. Funny if you're not.

The only thing that's funny is the fact that there is a debate to whether the Wii even has one AAAE that isn't a Mario game.

whats funny is that theres no debate.Smash brothers is a game about the nintendo universe.-thats why zelda, ganondorf, link appear-but is not a zelda game. Is really sad if you cant grasp that single fact well, dude ,i dunno what to tell you. on topic.it doesnt even matter.Theres nothing wrong if all the AAAE were from mario games. At the end of the day the system has lots of great games, exclusives too.

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]And if the Dreamcast's AAA-to-game ratio is carried out over a proper life span, it probably would have more AAA games than any console ever. And the Wii is defined by its unique AA niche titles, not run-of-the-mill AAA blockbusters.

i think thats pretty obvious unless you are mental.Nowadays is different- multiplat PC AAA(ported to consoles) galore. Dreamcast also stomped 360 in its first 2 years AAA wise.And god forbids how many of those AAAs i can play on pc as well.Dreamcast didnt have those luxuries, and honestly, the wii didnt neither.

[QUOTE="LegatoSkyheart"]

And how about that Gamecube?

Showing about a wopping 26 AAA Titles.

LegatoSkyheart

We know the Gamecube is good, the Wii, however, is not.

Dreamcast wasn't competing with the Wii, It was Competing with Gamecube.

and Gamecube Smashed it. ;)

what is funny is that dreamcast got more AAA than the PS2 in its first 2 years as well, but i dont know how good it worked for them(oh wait).I think it was more of a critics darling than a really appealing system for gamers.

Do you realize OOT is among 5 higuest ranked games in all of gaming history?-it was not surpassed by most games on all systems even after 1997?Dont expect is easy to topple that. 3ds is pretty cranked up if you ask me. I dont know, as for me, im not a fan of 1st party titles that much.That said i enjoy mario, and im looking foward Mario 3d. Games like SSF4 are ranked pretty high really, dont know how you expect better. From Nintendo, Professor layton is pretty fresh, and although the next one is a DS game, upcoming one wont be. Besides, Tekken its coming up and DOA dimensions is also a pretty solid exclusive game. Its been 3 months dude, compare that with the ds games we had in the first 3 months. If you want nintendo to constantly pull new ips as in the 8 bit era, be in for dissapointement. Developing times and costs are not what they were in the 80s man.It is no longer possible to pop 4 new ips every 2 years(unless you talk about portable apps). But for a fully fledged ip, is not possible-and even less when theres a huge demand of classic franchises to keep going. Mario kart on wii and ds sold around 40 million copies-more than Halo 3 and MW COMBINED. So the demand is huge-and nintendo is trying to have their teams work on these-and new ips- every so often(Oceans, Layton,Sports series,advance wars). Not to mention, Icarus is a new ip in practice.I mean, most people havent played the old game and honestly IT HAS NOTHING TO DO with the original game. Why dont you look foward to that?

3ds is getting support.5 fighters was too much already for launch.DS got one decent one in what, 6 years?.Yeah.As the playerbase increases , more titles will come. In a single year it got more games from third parties than Wii did or DS did(big titles).So yeah, complaining is a bit ridiculous. Right now we got coming up, third party wise, nanostray 3(AWESOME), Lautrec(ok i guess), and Tekken 3ds on top of my head plus Heroes of Ruin, a FF game(hope its 6), and Assasins creed. Oh, and Revelations.And the ninja gaiden game.Oh and shinobi.Oh who are we kidding, theres plenty really, to look foward if we exclude nintendo . there are already more games on it i can afford and i want.And its been out for 3 months only. I think no other ninty console had it so easy at launch.
