Since the 3ds has so many problems

Like a black screen of death and really bad battery life

Do you think that the 3ds lite or whatever improvment they plan on will come out sooner then later? Because I for one am not going to bother with the 3ds until things change. I am more than happy with my dsi.

BSOD has already been "fixed" by nintendo in the latest update, but supposedly there is still the problem. another update should solve things quickly.

the battery is a problem, but soon I imagine new batteries will be available for people to purchase. dont think nintendo is in that much of a hurry to update things.

The black screen of death is fixable with a firmware update, while the ROD with the 360 wasnt really fixable by software revisions but rather hardware revisions. The battery really isnt a problem either, for me atleast. I can see myself playing this beauty alot, where ever I go, but luckly everywhere I go will have either a cigarette lighter shocket (such as in cars) or just a regular 2 or 3 prong electrical shocket. Also 3rd partys have already released battery expansion packs for the 3DS which extend the 3DS battery life considerably. Who here canhonestly say that they will be playing with their 3DS with all settings on max? Not that many people (unless they absolutely nothing about changing the settings, which I doubt many young people are like that). Its a known fact that max settings for a portable arent best. Things look just fine with low or medium brighness and sound not at max. As for the 3D, I've found that I can see the 3D perfectly with the 3D barely on (btw, it looks amazing). So more battery power right there

The black screen of death is a non issue, theres about two users here that have reported it. And there are thrid party batteries if thats an issue for you

haha FANBOYS UNITE!

but seriously guys relax I am just stating my opinion. I will admit it dose not have that many problems. What I should have said is that it dose not meet what I want in a hand held. I did not know the black screen thing was so rare and such an easy fix that is great to hear. I am well aware of 3rd party batteries but they make it larger but that would not bother me. What dose bother me is shelling out extra money Cwith something that should be included with the system. The 3d is also a bit annoying to me but the slider fixes that. I also love how Nintendo promised that every game will be fully functional in 2d as well as 3d. The other reason I am waiting out on one is because I heard that original ds games really are not great looking on it. I would just rather wait a few years for a price drop or a new version because nothing about the 3ds is screaming buy me! But I am sorry I offended you guys by saying many problems. It dosent have many but I dont think it came out as good as it could have been.

I ment that many people here wouldn't be used to the talk of it

I have a feeling it will be a year or two before we see a 3ds lite. I would trade my current 3ds for it if the price is right. Those issues you mentioned are overrated. If not for the internet I would not even know about this "black screen of death" as I have not had one problem. As for the battery life I find myself charging it at least once a day because I have been playing it nonstop but I like the cradle which allows you to simply drop it in while doing other things.

It's been known to crash once in a blue moon.....that's hardly a huge problem. And the battery life isn't exactly horrible considering it's essentially powering 2 top screens and while playing in 3D still lasts as long as my DSi on full brightness.

The crashes will be fixed with an update at some point, and if you're worried about battery life (although if you use the DSi really don't see how it's a huge difference) pick up an external battery pack.

Two problems that I'm not experienceing are 'so many problems'. Wonder what you thought of the XB360...

Hopefully at E3 Nintendo will announce a new system. Then maybe the sales for it will pick up. The problems the 3DS suffer from are pretty MASSIVE & really need to be addressed. They really owe these gamers a heartfelt apology for the issues. Its just sad you know.Coolyfett

For the record, Nintendo says there are no widespread problems with the 3DS. While some people have contacted Nintendo concerning various issues, Nintendo is reporting that the rate is far below that of past hardware launches.

BSOD has already been "fixed" by nintendo in the latest update, but supposedly there is still the problem. another update should solve things quickly.

the battery is a problem, but soon I imagine new batteries will be available for people to purchase. dont think nintendo is in that much of a hurry to update things.

I never got the black screen thing and I don't plan on it either.

the 3ds is perfectly fine to me, all i want them to do is release a seperate better battery that we can buy for a reasonable price. haha.

I think Nintendo is already hard at work on the 3DSlite. They wanted to get the 3DS out as soon as possible, because loads of 3D devices are coming out (smartphones etc). Now they have it out, they can fix all the errors they made because of rushing the product. By the time PSP2 comes out they can choose to release the lite version.Coolwhip9001

When I tried it at bestbuy playing that hang glider game it just made my eyes feel funny and made me slightly dizzy. And once the 3d is off the graphics do not seem significantly better then ds so I am just going to REALLY wait on a upgrade.fadeetoblackk

The 3D effect does take a little getting used to, and playing in-store where the console is bolted to a table and you have to hunch over to get a good angle on the screen really isn't the best case scenario. I had a similar experience as you with an in-store demo, but I've had no problems over the past few days, and viewing 3D is as comfortable as viewing 2D for me.

i have to disagree with your assessment that 3DS graphics are not significantly better than the DS. Fact: the DS could not run a game like Pilotwings Resort with its large, open, detailed game world. The closest game I can think of is Starfox Command which had a large play area, but the landscape was mostly flat and featureless, and there were restrictions on where the player could go.

Frankly, you're dreaming if you think Nintendo is going to come out with a new 3DS with improved graphics capabilities. It would make zero business sense to alienate the millions of customers who will be buying the 3DS during the coming year. On the hardware side of things, there's really no where else to take the design, so it's unlikely we're going to see a substantial overhaul like the DS Lite or the addition of new features like the DSi. The system has 2D and 3D cameras, motion detection, a microphone, 3D display, local and internet connectivity, touchscreen ... what else could they add that would make sense for a handheld system? New software features can be added at any time through a system update, and the battery life could be improved with the release of a new battery, so there's no pressing need at the moment for Nintendo to rush a revised 3DS to the market.

Okay i guess your right about handling the open world thing. It just did not jump out to me as omg this is so amazing. It is improved. I am not expecting a brand new system they just always seem to shrink and improve there systems. The phat ds then the ds lite, an insane improvement. So I realize there not going to be in a rush but if in two and a half years the price or the old drops or there is a brand new one, then I will be ready to spend the money of a console on a handheld. I am a BIG nintendo fan but so far the ngp looks excellent and I might invest in that first. The problem is its sony so if I am complaining about money now the ngp will have me in tears. Im ready for like a 350 price tag if not more
