Growing tired =/= outgrowing. Thanks for using the word immature wrong though?
Yeah that's totally what I said.

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
So the 3DS 2013 lineup is impressive, any other handheld had one that rivaled it?

Sword of Mana is a remake and as you said Mega Man & Bass was never released in English. I was responding to someone saying he saw a lot of SNES ports that he had already played. Worth noting as well that in the US SMB3 saw 10 new (difficult) levels with the e-reader cards, and 30 total for Japan. If you waited this long though they are somewhat expensive even for the US cards.

What do we expect from E3/TGS anyway?
E3 probably won't have a lot of new high-profile stuff after Nintendo blew their load with the last Nintendo Direct but I could see some possible announcements:
E3
Call of Duty (made by n-Space rofl)
New Etrian Odyssey: Millenium Maiden (maybe too early for this)
Fantasy Life (although this could be a 2014 title to escape Animal Crossing)
Phoenix Wright 5
Youkai Watch (probably not, or 2014 at the soonest)
Dragon Quest VII (squarelolnix)
Monster Hunter 4
Something Sonic related
TGS
Virtue's Last Reward sequel
Bravely Default 2
Dragon Marked For Death (inti creates developed, MAQL published game with online functionality)

Dave is one of the good ones, fellas
It's a bit of a shame that you don't like most of the mentioned games. Seems like the urge to own new hardware is what made buy you the 3DS in the first place :lol
Personally, I'm excited about lots of the stuff mentioned on the list, but probably won't have the time to play them all; Fire Emblem and LM2 + some other stuff are on my to-buy list, and that's fine I think

Well, we know some games are already under development for 3DS: Senran Kagura 2, Bravely Default 2, Dragon Quest Monsters remake of the second one, Rune Factory 5. I'd want to see Treasure game.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I like the idea, but I find myself a little bored after awhile. I'm not too big on the slow paced life-sim game design. I dig what it does, but I'm the kind of guy who'll play it for awhile, forget, and boot it up six months later when I remember. And though that's cool, it doesn't really justify the purchase.
Yeah, it's just personal taste with me too. It doesn't bother me, mind you. I'm happy with what I'm getting for the 3DS this year, as I'm getting a lot of other stuff elsewhere.
Hell, release one good Metroid for 3DS and if that was the only game I bought I'd still be happy.

This type of thread is bound to attract that type of attention.

"Outgrew" is a figure of speech that does not mean "I became a mature adult and no longer like baby stuff". It means that as time passed and as someone developed/changed, so did their taste and personal preferences. They outgrew something.

I totally forgot that it's been almost a year since RF4. My gut says Treasure's 3DS game is published by Nintendo.
Actually, it can mean both. Not saying that ULTROS! meant it that way but it wouldn't be too far-fetched. We are talking about Nintendo games after all...

I feel like I spent an absurd amount of money on DS games in 2006. 2005 started slow but once things picked up in the second half of the year it was an absolute onslaught of software too.
Great lineup..PS Vita 2012 were pretty good in Europe:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_Vita_games
Click on 'Europe' to sort by descending and see what came in 2012..
If you click on List of PSP-games, you get some 3DS-like quality aswell.
Don't you know? If 3ds has a lot of games no handheld in history can beat it, if it's vita then vita has no gaemz

I think people need to start making distinctions between what they PERSONALLY want to play and what line up will resonate most with a userbase.
I think a lot of people are doing the former rather than the latter.
For example, I wouldn't play too many games in that 2010 PSP line-up that Takao posted but I can recognize that it's a damn good line up. I feel like some are letting their attitude toward the 3DS cloud their vision in terms of how solid this 2013 line up really is in terms of garnering interest.
But of course, its perfectly fair to gauge the line up based on personal preference. That determines what games we buy in the first place, but still, even if you don't like the games coming out for the 3DS - you still have to acknowledge that it's a really good line-up of software. Unless you're just that jaded!

I got bored with NSMB NDS and thought it was lame and really enjoyed Heavy Rain. There's nothing wrong with that. So sue me.
Normally I'd agree with you, being that opinions are opinions and all, but enjoying Heavy Rain that much does objectively make you a terrible person. Off to prison you go.
DS will have it licked then. The software sales on DS killed the 3DS numbers. Absolute sales must be how we measure what resonates with a userbase.
Heavy Rain was a phenomenal experience, so there

This is also a fantastic lineup. I do wish more of it had come out in NA, and that 3rd Birthday and VC2 hadn't turned out so disappointing. Still, those top four games are great and the genre variety probably beats out what the 3DS will see.
Despite all the "dedicated portables are DOOMED" proclamations, it's been a fantastic decade for the devices, from about the time GBA SP came out to now.

OMG I know SmokyDave is SmokyDave, but that has to be one the most SmokyDave opinions I've ever read from SmokyDave.
There's nothing (exceptionally
) wrong with him preferring it personally, buuuutttt...looking at things objectively is another issue. I can look back at the GBA's 2003 lineup and say, "That was damned good year", even though I don't personally enjoy a lot of the franchises on that list (Advance Wars, Banjo Kazooie, Lufia, Rayman, Sonic, etc.), because the quality of those games were exceptional.Agree wholeheartedly. For someone like me, the Vita had a really solid launch.
Which basically means that the answer to this topic is "Yes."
And this from an Atlus fan
Pretty much. I love Kaneko, but the only actual SMT game I really care about is Nocturne (And DDS, to whatever extent that counts). I'm much more of a Persona man.
Now, if someone said that I wasn't really a Persona fan, I'd take issue with that, haha.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
It's more like a combination. I outgrew it and in my personal point of view, it's kiddy to me. Similar how I used to think Power Rangers was awesome, then I outgrew it and when I tried watching the newer episodes, I thought they were kiddy in my point of view, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's kiddy for everyone else,

What do sales have to do with this thread :/
I understand the point; however out of relevancy I'd maybe take a wider view of:
- Impressive for you personally
- Impressive for gaf as a whole
Sales take in a really wide group of people. Moshi Monsters games would make a big impact on the UK in terms of that sort of 'impressiveness'.
If we go down the sales route and all that it becomes a pissy contest against certain views.
High Quality and High Selling games (not necessarily the same game doing both) is probably the 'best' you can get though I suppose.
I don't think too much should be put to it though; especially with a changing market.
List games - the more solid the line up for you is the one I suppose you should care more for.
All I know is that 2013 is already making 2012 look even more laughable. I really really hope Nintendo keeps this up!

What new Mario or Zelda game is coming out?
For Zelda, there's a 3DS sequel to A Link to the Past coming later this year/early next year.
Mario Golf: World Tour, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move, and the new 3DS Mario Party are all coming to 3DS this year.

Can't remember all the specifics, but DS across all regions from late 2005 - sometime in 2007 was absolutely godly.

I'm getting the SMTs and I've already got Fire Emblem + Monster Hunter
Its a serious list of games but realistically I don't care for most of them. That said, those 4 already scream a damn good year
