I always knew the 3DS would fail.

either way i am soooo glad i decided to wait for the redesign, 2nd nub or not
Ok, it looks almost laughable, but on the positive side, that wraparound edge might make it more comfortable to use the dpad. At the moment I hate using the dpad because its so close to the edge. With this it might be usable.
edit: oops, was talking about the red mockup, didn't see that fugly black thing. So even more ugly, but still perhaps comfortable. I have no idea how Nintendo could make an official peripheral that doesn't even attempt to line up in any way with the 3DS

so glad i did not buy one at launch this whole thing with the 3ds has been a disaster for the most part so far. This whole relaunch nnsense just comes off as nintendo not knowing what the hell it wants to do with the thing, couple that with a lack of compelling content and it just does not make me want to even consider a purchase at this point.
I might still pick one up down the road if they can get their shit straight, but till then i'll just pick up a Vita when it launches.

probably been mentioned - my brain would break trying to read through the whole thread for this - but
i'm certain they said early on that there would not be a mandatory 3D requirement.
Fine by me - I finally got to play one the other day and i don't even see it. No headaches or anything, just no 3D- slider up looks like the 3D off setting only dimmer and with weird rippling double images when you tilt from side to side.
i will still get one to play monster hunter because that shit is like golden candy crackdust to my rotted addict sinuses

My 3DS is a piece of junk.
- d-pad is making squeeking noises
- analog pad is making clicking noises
- Power on button needs to be pressed a few times before the damn thing even starts
First the price drop and now this? Fuck you Nintendo, I'm outta there.

Lolz, its always fun watching the once mighty and powerful self implode in a clusterfuck of epic proportions.
Nintendo deserve a good kicking, and have done for years now, peddling their outdated tech in shiny clothes with some USP gimmick to suck in the morons to handing over their money.
Nintendo needs a 'year zero'...come back to market with hardware that blows away the competition in every meaningful way, and then and ONLY then would i consider giving them some of my money.
And 12mths before launch, it's clear the Wii U aint gonna cut it...it will be Nintendo's Dreamcast.

I have no problem with Nintendo making hardware so amazing that I have no choice but to buy it.DeFiBkIlLeR said:
The only problem I see with this is that when people say Nintendo needs hardware that outdoes the competition, they usually mean in terms of Graphics.
And if that's what the people want, then by God the people should pay the appropriate price for it.

Ok guys... it's a little too early to say failure.
But you're fooling yourselves if you think any of the haphazard nature of the 3DS shows any kind of confidence.
They've dropped the price $80, adding an attachment, and potentially redesigning the system less than a year into it. This screams rushed launch on a level not common for Nintendo handhelds.

In my opinion it seems to scream that they don't seem to know what people want. And I hope that's not true because I fucking love Nintendo

If this turns out to be true I'll sell my 3DS. Fuck you, Nintendo.
It does signal a lot of confusion. Hell the 3ds up until this point has been confused. The 13th can't come soon enough. I want Nintendo to bust out the big guns and restore confidence to the 3ds' future.Small Mailman said:In my opinion it seems to scream that they don't seem to know what people want.

First Gen, Gameboy, GB color, GBA, DS. Where all pretty good. Sure the GBA lacked a back light, but that's hardly the same as an additional nub(Next to the lack of back light it was arguably way better than the GBA SP). The OG DS was just ugly as sin.Kafel said:

So 01net WAS right ahaha
Nintendo is dead, they no longer have any clue what gamers want, they've become a totally casual company, they've proven it with the 3DS ( no second analog? one screen widescreen an the other not?, .... ) and the WiiU is looking bleak.
I've lost all my faith in Nintendo, I wish they prove me wrong and the WiiU is great, but I won't be getting one until at least a year after release, no more day one Nintendo buys from me.

Well I guess they wanted to communicate via I.R and add a left shoulder button. The whole situation a mess though.

I wish someone would collect these kind of overreactions and make a thread about how to think before they post. How to not react to a company making money like it just told you your kid is actually someone else's.Thunder Monkey said:
