Nintendo 3DS

[Maybe]

An ignorant response if I ever saw one. Failure in every aspect? Would you care to elaborate more?

I find absolutely stupid to label something as a failure when:

1) Is the successor to the most successful videogame system of all time
2) It has the support of some of the best gaming companies behind
3) It has 3D. Guess what? You can turn off the 3D entirely and you still have a gaming handheld-- and a Nintendo one nonetheless, company that has totally dominated the market since the 90's.
4) More importantly than anything, is not even out yet for Pete's sake (at least in Europe and North America), so it makes absolutely no sense call it a failure

You should consider more what you are going to say next.

You've listed nothing to credit the device anything but its past life. For the record, the DS was a failure in the eyes of any legitimate hard-core gamer. If you want to play "Cooking-Mama 3D" or a silly reboot of MGS, go ahead. Don't try and sugar coat the fact that Nintendo has been a lazy company for the past few years, and have done nothing to please their original fans. Instead, they dish out hundreds of terrible games for the moderately retarded generation (they probably had a hand in creating) as they laugh all the way to the bank.

Also, since you seem to have that superior air about you, let me explain something:

When asking someone to elaborate after an explanation, there is no reason to ask of them to elaborate more. The word elaborate serves that exact purpose.

Lastly, you're acting like I'm the only one with this obviously literature guided opinion. For your information 'Omega", several columnists with inside information are already labeling this a gimmick. This is no different than Sonys PSP Go; a quick, pointless and unnecessary cash in.

PS: The most successful video game system of all time is the PlayStation 2. Actually, the DS wouldn't even be second if it wasn't for the fact that Nintendo managed to squeeze several additional versions with features that should have been in the first.

Brother, the few posts that I've seen from you are all full of idiotic bullshit that you want to disguise as some sort of objective evidence. This is pathetic. Let's see where do we start:

You've listed nothing to credit the device anything but its past life

Yes, because those are the only facts that I can rely upon on since I'm not dumb enough to call something that's not out a failure.

For the record, the DS was a failure in the eyes of any legitimate hard-core gamer. If you want to play "Cooking-Mama 3D" or a silly reboot of MGS, go ahead.

Ahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Again, dumb shit that you can't back up with any legitimate argument other than your ignorant personal opinion. I'm a legitimate "hard-core gamer" and I consider the DS to be one of the best systems I owned. I visit various of the most popular gaming forums, and most of the people adores the system because it offers a huge catalog of games for people with many different tastes. I find fucking stupid that you list games like "Cooking-Mama" as the platform defining game, as if there were not hundreds of other options. So you are a "bad4zz" hardcore gamer? Well, there's games like The World Ends With You, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor, Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword, Contra 4, Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars, Zelda Spirit Tracks, 999, Dragon Quest IX, Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow, Strange Journey..... Shit, should I keep going?

Lastly, you're acting like I'm the only one with this obviously literature guided opinion. For your information 'Omega", several columnists with inside information are already labeling this a gimmick.

Again, you do love making your statements with zero back-up, right? What, do you think that I'm some ignorant fool who doesn't know and hasn't researched about this thing, like yourself apparently? Several columnists? I'd like to see those "several columnists". Are they friend of yours? Yes, I've seen people that haven't reacted all that positively about the 3D effect, but from what I read they are in the vast minority. Go read reviews of the system from pages like Eurogamer, Joystiq, ComputerAndVideogames, IGN, 1UP, and see the other side of the coin.

And like I mentioned before, guess what champ, turn off the 3D and your "gimmick" is gone. You still have a gaming machine that can produce games like Resident Evil Revelations, did you realize that?

This is no different than Sonys PSP Go; a quick, pointless and unnecessary cash in.

Is this some sort of joke? Are you comparing a system that's just a different version of the PSP with the 3DS, which is the true successor in every possible way to the DS? I don't even know what to say...

PS: The most successful video game system of all time is the PlayStation 2. Actually, the DS wouldn't even be second if it wasn't for the fact that Nintendo managed to squeeze several additional versions with features that should have been in the first.

Nintendo DS is the most succesful video game system of all time during its 8 year life cycle (PS2 has been longer than that), so it should surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time eventually.

Anyway, I've no desire of arguing with you since it clearly shows that you are a pretty ignorant person who has a big mouth, but when asked for evidence or something, you come up with some ridiculously laughable mystic BS to hide your lack of knowledge.

But hey, since I'm nice, here's a bunch of useful material for you to read, which covers many of the points that I explained to you:

In your entire post, you still haven't listed one single thing that in any way, shape, or form makes my opinion ignorant. I don't understand what your issue is with arguing; all you do is angrily--which is hilarious, by the way--respond to my posts with your own opinion. We get it, you have an opinion; the end.

If you think it's going to be awesome, than buy it. Don't try to convince me that it's anything but a gimmick. The games that you listed are few and far between thousands of terrible games. But, I'm not arguing that the DS was successful. The 3DS is a gimmick, and of course gaming companies are going to back it up, look how much money the first few made. Gaming companies don't care if something is a gimmick or not, because the industry runs on money, much like the film and music industries.

Also, the columnists I mentioned work for IGN. Nice job with the semi-insults, though. That's how a real person makes a point, by getting all emotionally invested in the subject matter. (That was sarcasm, by the way. In case you have trouble reading through a simple sentence).

Do I have to post IN MY OPINION in front of everything I type these days? Jesus, don't take things to the heart. You don't happen to be related to Satoru Iwata?

You have a real problem with other peoples opinions and criticism, yet in another thread you claim that I have disillusions of grandeur. Ironic? Yeah, kind of.

"3D" in gaming isn't exactly 3D now is it? You don't feel exactly in the game so it's a sham. Why companies are wasting money trying to push this when they could be pushing their existing consoles to the limit?
