Support NeoGAF

[Fantastical]

If you use the pedometer, you'll be able to collect points, which can use in games that support the coins feature.

Thank you sir. Disappointing, but that's Nintendo.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Yeah, we discussed it a few pages back.
You earn Game Coins by walking (not sure if you can get them other ways) and can spend them in games that support Game Coins.

clever way to get people to take the 3DS along for the tag mode to work better too

 

[Teknoman]

Thank you sir. Disappointing, but that's Nintendo.

Should promote more excercise...at least thats what I thought the pokewalker would do :lol

 

[Dreamwriter]

Dunno if this is new to you guys, but it is to me (footage from Kingdom Hearts 3D, etc).

3DS Software Lineup Video

Looking at that, Asphalt currently has a crappy framerate and Ridge Racer is smooth as butter. Of course, it's just a few seconds on a promo video of early versions of the games...

 

[Kard8p3]

Thank you sir. Disappointing, but that's Nintendo.

We pretty much knew that's what it was but we decided to get our hopes up anyway. No big deal though and it could still be cool. I walk all the time so I'll have many game coins.

 

[AceBandage]

Dunno what's disappointing about it.
Could be a cool way to unlock stuff in games.

Oop, guess I'm not as on the bleeding edge as I thought. Interesting though!

Just about every Nintendo fan will look like this in 2012

Some awesome SSF4 info.
Online, spectator mode, 3D vs 2D mode, ect.

A buncha pairs of people trying out the 3DS and saying "SUGOI!"

Oooooh. Thanks.

Disappointing in that it's not achievements.

 

[_Alkaline_]

Disappointing in that it's not achievements.

Achivements are one of the most pointless things to come out of this generation.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Disappointing in that it's not achievements.

I remember when doing cool stuff inside a game gave you additional characters, costumes, tracks, or music instead of pointless "YOU ARE AWESOME" medals. Now all that stuff you can only get by paying extra for it.

All I hear is blah blah blah.

[antonz]

Street fighter seemingly has its own sort of achievements anyways with the trophies you can get

 

[Medalion]

Who here thinks their japanese will be much improved after watching this conference?

ANO HAI

 

[Door2Dawn]

The majority won't give a shit about achievements, especially on a freaking hand held.

 

[Cheesemeister]

The 3D camera was kinda neat, seemed aimed at teenage girls who are big on photobooths. It simply takes two photos from the external cameras, and adjusting the 3D strength changes the image in no way but toggling with 2D, which displays only the right eye's image. The face merge feature seems to cut-and-paste the taker's picture onto the head of the subject, no morphing involved. It has a few different modes like adding special effects, pinhole, low lighting, and a "mystery" mode. It seems like a neat little distraction. Perhaps we'll start seeing more photography hobbyists take some interesting pictures.

yeah i remember that

I don't care about the majority! I care about me.

Hey, if they actually consistently gave some kind of reward for them, I would have no qualms.

At the moment though they're just a meaningless score. Why not just play games solely for the fun of it? Why do we need a score that does absolutely nothing on top of that?

Achievements in their current state offer nothing more than a false sense of satisfaction.

 

[Tenbatsu]

I don't care about the majority! I care about me.

You set your own achievements, like the japanese!

 

[EatChildren]

You are a good man.

So desu ne...

 

[Kard8p3]

Almost there

 

[Smiles and Cries]

it keeps track of all your activities I would hate it to do even more

You know what achievements remind me of? Being in grade school and getting star-shaped stickers from the teacher when you answered a question correctly or something.

Achievements significantly increase replay value of a game for me. It makes me do things I would never do in a game without them...

EDIT: More importantly it's starting!

 

[Medalion]

Its time

 

[Kard8p3]

Here we go

 

[Neiteio]

It's so great to see that SSFIV3D will have three costumes for each of the 35 characters, available right out of the box. That'll feel like 105 different characters right there! Even more when you tally up nearly a dozen colors per costume.

 

[careksims]

RESIDENT EVIL 3DS TIME!!!!!

 

[Dreamwriter]

The very first "Achievements" were physical patches you could sew onto your clothes, awarded by Activision for taking a picture of your TV screen with a score over a certain threshold.

Back in my day we had to wait weeks to get our achievements and we liked it!

 

[AceBandage]

Mutant Killing Time!

 

[Neuromancer]

So wait what's the deal with this pedometer thing?

 

[Zerokku]

cvx:

They were playing some kind of familiar background music from RE. Sounds like it could be from Mercenaries 3D.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Zombies, finally!

 

[Jintor]

Oh shit, RE!

 

[Hieberrr]

OMG ENGLISH!

 

[Medalion]

Revelations trailer from E3

 

[Teknoman]

Its game time.

 

[onipex]

I came for the games and now want more music.

 

[AceBandage]

Walk around.
Earn coins.
Spend coins in games.
