Italy: 3DS is the fastest selling Nintendo console during the first 10 months EVER

good to see it doing great.
Now with all the snow and no winter tires down there, your public life is at full stop. good chance to play the hell out of your 3DSes. It was flooded with great software in the last couple of months.


because the bad economy wasn't enough :mad:

wat?

Oh my god, I just spotted on GAF some of the worst people I could know on the internets.
Erasing my account ASAP.

Sucate

I'll be curious to read Vita's results
 
Thread title change in 3...2...

Jokes aside, the 3DS deserves its success.

I truthfully and from the bottom of my heart hate portable gaming. But I have to admit that Mario 3D and RE:R (weird enough, considering the latest offerings from the franchise) have been a blast to play.

The horrendous circle pad pro even serves its purpose, and turns the 3DS into something almost fully enjoyable even for someone who has high normal standars when it comes to controls.

Tl;dr: I can't wait for Vita xD
 
What are you talking about? D:

I mean that Italy is a country that makes a ton of artsy and beautiful things: clothes, cars, music, movies.... but I still have to hear of an Italian made videogame that truly stands out as Italian made. As far as I know there still isn't a single Italian made videogame at all. 2015 is just a date in which I wish we could see such a thing.

Unless I missed on something really big....

Back on topic, I got a 3DS on Xmas (I'm part of that number too!) and I'm currently very satisfied with it! I played SM3DLand and Mario Kart 7, currently halfway through Resident Evil: Revelations and I have Ace Combat backlogged. I'm also playing through Layton 3 on my DS, I can't wait to get my hands on Layton 5, I wonder how it will be!

As always, software support is the most important thing for a console, as long as things look promising in that sense, I don't believe there will be any doubt that it will be a success. (Yes I'm that optimistic)

They also made We Dare, if I remember correctly.

Yeah, and some Giulia Passione (IDK what the english name is).
SCAR also came out of Italy.
And Gioventù Ribelle.

Anyway there are really some of the worst posters from Italy here on GAF.
Except for Tobi and Korez <3

So you are from Ubisoft Milan? If no, why do you react like this? They aren't the best games in the world.

I played Rabbids a lot and it was fun during Christmas with family, but not after without other players.

I'm not saying those aren't lower-quality games, I just say we have software houses and there are italian games.
IIRC the SBK series is (was?) made in italy. As a market, I don't think we're ready to develop something big anyway.. but I guess we're going a bit out of rails.

Yes, we are off topic, but if the sales are always for Just Dance, PES2075, NFS and the others, how can we improve our industry/developers?
 
If i recall correctly the cofounder of Ready at Dawn is italian, and so is the director of Shadows of the Damned. So while there aren't many native studios, there are still successful developers working at high level jobs.

I hate italians, but the thing i hate the most is self-loathing italians. No, wait...

Oh I don't know. What about developing something for Steam? with a 10-15&#8364; price, something fresh like Recettear.. doesn't seem so hard to me.
Or a .99 game for IOS *shivers*
