However, the 3DS has slowed down quite fast, and the competiton has been there the whole time unlike the PSP which came a year_ later. In order for the 3DS to come in, they need to get more unqiue games, and they need to make a killer app for the U.S. Market, which had the largest DS installbase currently that they should be trying to take with the 3DS.

[QUOTE="burgeg"]

Impulse buy. An impulse buy I regret. Partly because of the price drop so quickly and partly because I don't really play it much. Basically I played OOT on my mates 3DS one day and on that day I went out and bought the thing purely for that. Plus it had a 3D Mario out for it that year and Resident Evil Revelations on the way. Those games are only the best offerings on the system if you personally like those games. I don't.

If you like RPGs, Unchained Blades is super eddictive and rather long (i am 60+ hours in)

 

Yes because preferring western style games to japanese means I'm not a gamer. Flawless logic.

Then why buy a 3DS ? It is puzzling, that is all

There are quite a few western games on the 3DS, may have slowed for now, but before when they were serious about getting tons of TP support for 3DS and Wii U world wide, they did try:         [img]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110404053820/sims/images/c/ce/The_Sims_3_Nintendo_3DS.jpg[/img      This is most of them. Originally I was impressed with what Nintendo was doing as they were putting out output that could have been the greatest western support for a Nintendo console ever, but then that output hit a wall, and so far seems westdern devs see no interest. Nintendo needs to bring in that killer app.

You mean like get two of the best games of all time ?

Zelda and Bravely Default

They certainly just did that

These two games along with Layton Azran, are my top anticipated games right now along with Dark Souls 2

Glad I picked up a 3DS again, it's going to be a really great year for owners with some amazing games. Having said that I hope the Vita, gets some good news to I would still like for it to pick up having played the Soul Sacrifice demo, Sony is on the right track but unfortunately their first party will never compete with Nintendo's and 3rd parties hate the Vita.

why would anyone buy a normal DS when you can geta 3ds for like $25 more?k2theswiss
Beats me. I'm kind of surprised it hasn't been discontinued yet, but if people are still buying it, the profit margin for Nintendo has to be enormous.
