DS piracy on the PC was never really that good. What makes you think this is going to be any different? Buying hardware + pirating software is the best way to do handheld gaming.

You guys don't have a job ?

I even brought a car, 250 euros is nothing poorfags.

I don't think this is something to be proud of.

You were doing so well, Nintendo. You had me up until the UK price, and then you didn't have any of the system's cool shit for the actual launch.

>>84364709
The problem is that the price of gaming hardware (Nintendo's specifically) hasn't kept on track with inflation rates. If they were only adjusting for inflation, the price would be a hell of a lot more constant.

>>84364733
Everyone cared. I cared. It didn't help that the PSP and 3DS had really shitty launches.

Knowing Nintendo, the 3DS will be easy as fuck to pirate.
You'll probably be able to use a DS emulator to run most 3DS games, just like that Gamecube emulator could run Wii games.

>>84364720
we both know that when they say 3 hours, they really mean 1,3 hours

>>84364764
3DS is a completely new oyster to crack.
Enjoy waiting years while I play video games.

Id rather wait the 3 months until the 3ds lite comes out instead of buying into it now.

$250 is still quite a bit for a handheld.

>>84364899

Don't you mean 20 minutes, because there is the sound too...

Maybe 30 if it's on low volume...

I'll buy it, when there'll be a better Version with more battery life than 3 Hours.

>>I'll be downloading that shit, thank you
Downloading a Handheld-Console? I'd like to see you try!
Or wanna 3DS-Emulation? Playing 3D Handheld-Games on a PC with Glasses? lol u serious?

>>84364912

That is what they said about the Wii... Until people started running Wii games in a totally unmodified Gamecube emulator.

Didn't they also say something similar about the DSi? Which had emulators the moment it was released.

I give it 2 days before it is cracked and emulators are in the works.

It will be very interesting to see what happens from here on out.

I don't know if it will be a day on purchase for me yet, but when Star Fox, Animal Crossing, and Paper Mario hit I'll be very interested.

That and using a analog control for my Ds games should prove interesting. I might even get Mario 64 DS again, just to play it like that.

Also: With Love Plus on 3DS, moe can finally exist in 3D form.

>$250.00
>"Lite" version in 6 months, cheaper.
>Bigger version in a year, cheaper.
Sorry faggot, not falling for Nintendo's bullshit again.

>>84365022
damn you are right.
however, check out all the doubles!!!

>mfw I have zero interest in the 3ds

>>84365090
I'll wait for the XL, but don't hold your breath for the Lite. The 3DS is smaller than the Lite was.

>>84364301
>>84364356
>>84364383
>mfw when it can't be pirated

pre-ordered black 3ds

will cancel if Cyclo3DS isn't out by summer

>>84365090

How could you fall for this anyway? Nintendo has done this with every single handheld console they have released, ever.

>>84365045

You are aware that the PC has had 3D for years now, yes?

Why the fuck should I waste money now, when I can wait 1-2 years for the new 3DSXL with better batteries and I hope with free region.

Will definitely wait.

>$250
>handheld

are they fucking joking?

i could buy an xbox 360 for that price. which already has a good library of games, rather than 'buy this and hope shit comes out for it later'

this thing is starting to sound shittier and shittier

>>84365090

So Apple is alright ?
Jeez it's a company, not your fucking friend.

The Launch lineup doesn't really appeal to me too much, so it's not a day one purchase for me. It's nice that it's not 300 bucks though, however I never really expected it to be that much in the first place.

When people say it won't be region-free, what exactly does that mean? Can't play foreign games on it?

>>84365201
You're well aware that NES has had 3D for years now, yes?

>>84365221
I could buy an xbox cheaper than a DSi I don't see that your problem is.

>>84364601
>they can't afford glorious 3DS

>>84365201
You are aware that there's nothing to make use of those 3D capabilities on PC, right?

Also:

Ouendan 3D. MAKE IT HAPPEN.

>>84365090
>Lite version in a year, cheaper.
>Bigger version in a year, more expensive.

Fixed that for you.

>>84365090
Ha, this.
They're going to do exactly what they always do, incrementally release better and cheaper versions of it at the same or slightly lower prices and retards will go out and buy every one of them just like the DS and GBA.

>>84364733
that is because nobody ever cared about psp, even sony.
well, japanese greasy fat ronery men cared, but only because of umd porn.

>>84365360

For example, you can't buy cheap bargains from NTSC-Umerika and play it in your Pal-european 3DS

>>84365474
Uh, what?

I've got a 3D gaming set up. It works fine. I played Mirror's Edge in 3D and it was trippy as fuck.

You're ignorant.

>>84365090
see
>>84364611
If by "cheaper" you mean "more expensive", than yes.

>mfw I don't give a shit about the price because PAPER FUCKING MARIO

>>84365547
They also did it for the original gameboy but it looks like noone remembers

>>84365360
I believe so, yes. For example if that Layton and Phoenix Wright game ends up only being released in Japan North Americans would not be able to import the game and play it on their 3DS's

People did care about the PSP Go launch price. They cared enough to laugh at it and laugh at Sony.

Or EBA 2.

COME ON, INIS. SERIOUSLY, HOW MANY COPIES OF LIPS DO I HAVE TO BUY BEFORE I GET A NEW EBA/OUENDAN GAME

>>84365678
If this happens I'm gonna have to slap a bitch

>>84365462

HAHAHA

Some people enjoy watching enema porn.

I do what i enjoy doing that makes me happy.
You point and laugh, you feel better, good for you.
In the end I will be the one with a 3DS while you will emulate it.

Who's eating shit now, Faggit ?

>>84364611
Quick, show off an inflation and dollar value graph.

>>84365678

Considering the popularity of Layton and even the niche but strong fanbase of AA, I think it would be dumb of both companies to not release it over here. That will make me buy the 3DS, if nothing else.

That and a new Pokemon game is probably in the works.

>>84365481
Even if that were to happen it would be region locked

>People complaining that it's 250$

>3DS comes with a 3D display without glasses, 2GB SD card, 2 3D cameras, and it's a gaming handheld

>People are purchasing iPod touches for 300$ and maybe even more for just higher storage

and for the millionth time, /v/ has been proven as retarded and whiny.

>>84365935
Oh yes, I fully expect it to be brought over to North America as well, however that hasn't officially been announced yet, so I was just using it as an example.

>>84366009

I will be in Japan at the end of this year and beginning of next year.

If it comes down to it I will buy a Japanese 3DS. I might anyway, just because of GLORIOUS NIPPON GAMES

In any case Nintendo is gonna be printing money for some time.

Still too expensive and not very impressive. I'll wait a year for the newer, cheaper model with some legitimate games. Not rehash, rehash, dogs+cats.

>>84366040
This. And iPod games suck. Using everything on the touch screen sucks.

>>84365636
Well the gameboy pocket was actually a worthwhile upgrade and the fat gameboy was their first handheld, so I wont rail on them much for that.

The gameboy color was a piece of gimmicky trash though.
Its only redeeming feature that the games were in color, which seemed pretty cool at the time until you realize that the games weren't any better.

>>84366040
So you want Nintendo to be more like Apple? Cool story bro. iPhone is a scam and so is the 3DS.

I'll stick to my PSP.

That price is still horrible, and it costs as much as a ps3 in the UK.
What is okay about that?

>>84366085

Fair enough. I am just still blown away that it's gonna happen.

But man. AA5. That will be the day. I really hope this paves the way for Capcom to make it on 3DS and have EPIC FINGER POINTING IN YOUR FACE MAN!

>Sony releases PSP in 2005 for $250
>WTF FUCKING GAY SO EXPENSIVE WAT A RIPOFF SONY IS A BUNCH OF ASSHOLES, GOOD GRAPHICS ARE FOR FAGS

>Nintendo releases 3DS in 2011 for $250
>ZOMG WHAT A DEAL, MUST BUY FUCK U SONY THESE GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING

>>84366788

The PSP didn't have any good games until Monster Hunter came out.

The 3Ds's launch window looks awesome thus far and has more then enough features to make up for it. Plus I dig that I can use my DS games with a stick. Plus DSi Ware is transferable between systems.

The PSP had very little going for it at first. Don't get me wrong, I love my PSP. Thing is, it didn't have much going for it at first. Meanwhile the 3DS has plenty of things going for it, only weakness being price.

>Pre ordered in GAME already
>Prepared to pay up to 250 pounds
>It's gonna be around 230 pounds
>Good, Good
>Look for release titles
>No confirmed UK release list

>FUCKING GAMESTOP!
>UK doesn't have Gamestop

>>84366788
Exactly

Brand loyalty at its finest.

COME ON NINTY. I WILL BUY THIS SHIT FULL PRICE IF PURPLE IS A LAUNCH COLOR

>>84366788

You're pretty much the only person in here saying that, buddy.

>>84367072

>The PSP didn't have any good games until Monster Hunter came out...The PSP had very little going for it at first.

And that's just bullshit. There was a time in 2005 and 2006 when the PSP was outselling the DS.

>>84367072
Lol, no. Sorry but all the launch titles for 3DS look awful, and gimmicky shit like the touchscreen, motion sensor and 3D effect don't count as "features." It's honestly everything bad about the PSP but wrapped up in more gimmicks. Shitsux.

>>84367245
>There was a time in 2005 and 2006 when the PSP was outselling the DS.
Brand loyalty.

>>84367114
You must be blind. There are plenty of people complaining about the 3DS price

>>84367271

What colors does it come in?

>>84367194

I really wish would bring back the trend of multiple color consoles.

Black and White is cool and all, but COME ON. I don't just want the standard Blue and Black, or white and red. I would like it if one console had 5 different color schemes available, like in the N64 Days.

You know, have a super sentai team of 3DSs. How would that be for an ad campaign? Get in your favorite sentai color!

>>84367271
>and gimmicky shit like the touchscreen
No longer gimmicky.

You'd be hard pressed to find a portable device that doesn't have a touch screen nowadays.

>>84367354

Or, PSP software was more compelling, at the time, than DS software. This is what happened in reality, unless you can show me some pretty fucking convincing evidence to the contrary.

>>84367448
Looks like GAY and FUCKING UGLY

Really, why are the colors always some crap like purple and shiny purple?

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/19/retailers-3ds-games-priced-at-40-50-in-us/

>Sees game prices

Like hell I'd pay $50 for a handheld game.

>>84367504
If it has purple i'll be happy. Or that gold color. Shit looks straight pimpin'.

>>84367553
The whole point is that the 3DS has more going for it than the original PSP did.

I'll wait for PSP2.

>>84367688
Then you might want to avoid portable gaming altogether.

I doubt the PSP2 will be any cheaper.

>>84367436
>baww he disagrees with me therefore he must be trolling

>>84367542
Means nothing. There are still plenty of devices that don't have touchscreens and will never have them because they are inadequate for anything beyond a phone or a gaming handheld. It's a gimmick through and through.

POSTING IN A STICKY

wtf sticky?

Posting in a sticky

>>84365167
It'll be pirated but without the cheesy headache / eye cancer inducing 3d effects.

Really, once you strip the games from their precious 3d gimmick you'll find they're just rehashes.

>>84367840
>inadequate for anything beyond a phone or a gaming handheld.

I worked for 10 weeks between the semesters and got over 3500€

So while this is stickied, holy shit the XXX at the end of the posts is gone, guys! Nice.

ok so its not 300 dollars. i'd NEVER pay more than 150 for a handheld...and shit 150 is alot.

lol nintendo

Was glorious master race teal announced?

There won't be a purple at launch. So far, everything except the price has turned me away. But if they announce a purple model later on, I'll buy it.

But that's not a bad thing.

>>84368047
Can't you import it?
In my country I assure you it won't be less than $600 so I will probably import it, sure there are taxes but it will still be cheaper.

Mods. Please ban eveybody who say nothing but "posting in a sticky"
They contribute nothing to these threads.

At THAT price I'm waiting for the inevitable Lite-edition.

>>84367840
>inadequate for anything beyond a phone or a gaming handheld

And that is what the 3DS is, so that makes touch screen not a gimmick.
