Thread: 3DS

Has anyone got one? Are you going to get one?

I got mine yesterday, and my first real games for it will be in today. So far my experience has been limited to the included "Face Raiders", "AR Games" and vanilla DS games.

So far, I really like it.

I dont think I will bother with it for I simply will not be able to perceive the 3dness.

But you can, it doesn't work like normal 3D, no two eyes required (I take it that's your problem). It's like a window looking inside a 3D enviroment, check out the video's you'll see what I mean

My sister got one. I have double vision, so I have problems seeing 3D in the cinema, but I was deeply impressed by how good the tech is in the little machine. The games line up, on the other hand, is just dire.

So this is your first Nintendo system launch then?

Touché, haha. Perhaps I meant dire by Nintendo's standards?

Seriously though, it's abysmal. Pilotwings? Dead or Alive? Nintendogs? Where's either the hardcore Nintendo crack that will satisfy the fanboys/girls, or the Serious Business games that Nintendo says it still cares about making (ha)?

I think Pilotwings is actually fantastic, even if it does have a bit of a "tech demo" feel to it. Anyone who remembers the DS launch should have expected this- few games many of which overuse or don't use the new features to their true potential. It took the DS a good long while to hit its stride, but now it's library is unrivaled.

I bought Pilotwings and Samurai Warriors: Chronicles. Pilotwings is a beautiful game that can have alot of replay value for perfectionist-types. Samurai Warriors is a Dynasty Warriors game... on a handheld... in 3D- based on that alone you should already know if you'll love it or hate it.

Well, you do need binocular vision to get the true effect, but it still offers great graphics and other innovations like the AR games demonstrate- which I think you're referring to.

You realize that the Nintendogs alone will pay for the systems over head for the next 2 years. It will move units, it's the killer app for the launch.
