Now that the 3DS is out, and I've seen it for myself. (Though I haven't seen most of what it has to offer yet, I'll be seeing that this Friday when my friend brings over hers with SSFIV.) I thought we would talk about those who are skeptical about the 3DS... our fellow Nintendo fans that seem to cry out, 'It's just a gimmick!' and don't feel the same way most of us do about the system. It seems like the 3DS is facing the same problems the Wii and DS had during their launches. Both the DS and Wii were called gimmicks, but yet they both held up and are two of the highest selling consoles/handhelds of all time... yet... people seem to not remember that. I was watching T.V. with my friend the other day, the launch day of the 3DS, and a commercial for it came on. I started talking about the capabilities of the system and my excitement for it... and for some reason, he became hostile... angry... and I have no idea why, because he's a huge Nintendo fan like I am... What is it with this hostility towards the 3DS? Is it the price? The time of launch? I'm not sure if you guys have met anyone who has this unwarranted hatred towards the system, but I've seen at least two cases, and I've seen a few on the gamespot forums, but those are usually self-explanatory.... though there are still some from Nintendo fans.

@Mr_Mustachelol, no, it was my friend who was over the other day. But I don't think the 3D thing will ever defeat simple 2D gaming, just as side-scollers never died because of open-world 3D environments back when they first arrived in the mid-90's. The option to see games in 3D is always there with the 3DS, and if you just don't want to see the 3D, you can just turn it off. Besides, it's not like Nintendo is going to abandon their 2D games, because it seems at the moment, it's just available as a solo experience, so it will only be on the handhelds. I think the successor of the Wii, whenever that comes, will continue to be viewed in 2D. |
