No, actually, I'm a huge Fire Emblem fan (or was if the series keeps going down the crapper). It's the only Nintendo series I actually care about.

First, the spirtes. While I wholeheartedly prefer the 3D models used in RD and PoR, the sprites (and the maps as well) felt underwhelming. There's doing 2D right and 2D wrong, and I'd call that doing 2D wrong.

2nd where was the voice acting? It's 2011, more than FMVs should be fully voiced and 3DS carts have more than enough room. And Fire Emblem is very text heavy. It's one game that needs it. But going off Radiant Dawn, I'm sure I can expect the bare minimum.

3rd The character portraits. It's so much more... anime than I'd like it to be. In Valkyria Chronicles 3, yeah, those would look at home but not FE (at least for me).

4th The music! I know I heard at least one of those tracks before in a previous game. I really dislike it when developers reuse music.

5th The graphics in the battle scenes. Maybe it's because of the quality of the video but... ew. I definitely prefer Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn's battle scenes.

On a good note, I guess, it seems like you can travel between towns like in Sacred Stones. Hopefully it's an all around better game, though.

I would rather have sprites in Fire Emblem than 3D models. The Wii and GCN games are ugly.

Unnecessarily low production values and rehashing are weird complaints?

Like I said, there's 2D done right (like Vanillaware titles) and there's 2D done wrong (which is what I'd call this). I'd rather have the 3D models in RD/PoR than these sprites.

Nintendo rehashes tracks in many of their games. It's no secret. Am I saying the entire track is rehashed? No, but rehashing music is still rehashing - and it's something I dislike. Yes, I saw those battle scenes. I think you'll see how I was complaining about them in my above post because they look worse than they should. Lack of voice acting is also a huge problem. There's really no excuse at this point besides not wanting to spend more money on the game.

Apparently gamers today can't be bothered to read on their own. They want to be spoon-fed the scenes instead of using their eyes and imagination.

Lego's limits are only that of the imagination! ...and your budget :P

Hey, I know this thread isn't really about Nintendo anymore, but has everyone seen these pictures?

http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/img/gmw/docs/477/173/html/n10.jpg.html (click the arrow at the top to go through them)

Looks like it doesn't add 3 shoulder buttons, just two. The 3DS' original R button is extended out onto the peripheral, and then there are the two triggers that are all-new.

I'm guessing the thing with the screw is the battery compartment.

I think people are expecting way too much out of this conference IMOvincent380

Was it too much to expect actual games? :lol:

Still, it was a fun conference thanks to the hecklers in the thread.

So what were the 3 unanounced titles?

What do u guys think of the new UI?

I really think it lacks XMB's coolness

What happened at the conference? Unfotunately, I missed it :otonitorsi

3DS launch pretty much confirmed the world doesn't really want hand held gaming consoles as much as they used to. sure both will still sell, but neither will do anything like the DS (which is still heavily supported) . there are tons of games on mobile phones now many of which also double as movie players, mp3 players, browsers and social networking devices. the potential market for handheld consoles is a lot smaller now in my book. sts106mat

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"] Touch controls work great for puzzle, turn-based titles(RPG'S, tower defense etc.) and racing games. tormentos

FF is looking pretty cool, I don't really want a PS3 because only God of War and InFamous interest me, but the PSP has some really cool looking games. I may have to pick one up once I get a job.
