Support NeoGAF

[Asd202]

New Fire Emblem game w/ theme, and consider me sold.

Hmm I wonder if that would happenwould FE be close to dying again.

 

[Maedhros]

The only footage is from the stream right? It's compressed as fuck so that doesn't really tell you anything.

Compression only affect the imagem quality, not the game performance. The game seems to be struggling to run on the new 3DS

 

[tim_pkmn89]

Kid Icarus with good controls confirmed brehs

Kid Icarus already has CPP support. Sakurai specifically didn't make it dual stick because it wasn't fast enough.

 

[Hot Coldman]

It's going to be Majora's Mask 3D, isn't it.

 

[Fularu]

After the debacle that was Wii and Wii U, Nintendo are going to confuse consumers all over again with different 3DS games that work with different versions of the console.

2DS, 3DS, 3DS XL, New 3DS, New 3DS XL... poor mum's all over the world are going to have no idea what to buy their kids.

Just like the ds to dsi transition, the old models won't be available after a while, which is why they're releasing it in 2015 in the US and Europe.

 

[Sayad]

Man I remember when "Nintendo don't want to exclude those who bought the previous 3DS models" was a defense of why Nintendo didn't implement a second analogue in the XL and the 2DS, lol.

 

[Volotaire]

It's going to be Majora's Mask 3D, isn't it.

I can't imagine what is going to happen on that day.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

It's going to be Majora's Mask 3D, isn't it.

Haha, I could see this.

 

[LoveCake]

I wonder if Nintendo are offering discounts to people who already have a 3DS?

It is only three years six months sine it was released & it's now going to have games released that will not work on the original 3DS!

I'm not happy Nintendo, not happy at all

 

[KooopaKid]

I truly hope the next Nintendo console is the NintendOS. I want a single unified platform.

 

[mclem]

We know the next Nintendo platform is going to be a unified arch between portable and home console. New 3DS is just a stop gap.

And possibly an experiment on exactly those lines, too; "Let's see what we can do in terms of working to two different specs on the same basic architecture".

 

[inner-G]

God damn they should increased the screen resolution. SMDH

Hope they can at least decrease the 3D 'ghosting' or whatever its called on the XL model at least.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

If this was anything like a phone upgrade, the new hardware would be blowing the Vita out of the water. This is a crappy half-step towards a mild upgrade.

Its a revision fam, wait for something that aint called 3DS

 

[Foshy]

It's going to be Majora's Mask 3D, isn't it.

Very likely.

 

[Volotaire]

I'm not happy Nintendo, not happy at all

Why would they give discounts to those owners? They chose their preference of time.

 

[metalslimer]

Its a revision fam, wait for something that aint called 3DS

Nintendo is certainly treating this as something more than a revision.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

Like I said in the other thread, the fact that the second analog stick is very similar to the GC c-stick, I wouldn't be surprised if some of these are GC ports.

F-Zero GX 3D?

 

[Mistle]

I'm happy about this.

The improved 3D turned it into a must-buy for me, so bring on all the exclusive content they want

 

[Ramza]

Nintendo is certainly treating this as something more than a revision.

Then they really should have named it something different. I can see the marketing for this being a disaster, just like with the Wii U.

 

[Volotaire]

Like I said in the other thread, the fact that the second analog stick is very similar to the GC c-stick, I wouldn't be surprised if some of these are GC ports.

F-Zero GX 3D?

It would be an interesting proving ground for these 'dead' franchises.

 

[monome]

might bite if the new Mario and Zelda are nice.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I'm happy about this.

The improved 3D turned it into a must-buy for me, so bring on all the exclusive content they want

Yeah, I think I'll have 3D on all the time then.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Guys, imagine if Majora's Mask is exclusive to New 3DS.

IMAGINE

 

[Mr Swine]

If they're going to split the userbase, why did they half ass the new models? Should have upgraded the screen resolution and GPU.

Then it would be a fully new portable hardware which Nintendo won't release until 2016

 

[Altima]

Why are people happy about this ?

This is the worst thing I have ever got from game company.

I'm 100 % sure that they can make games for both 3DS and new 3DS but they are too greed to do that.

 

[Son Of D]

At most expect retailers to have trade in offers for trading in your old 3DS/XL towards a new one.

 

[kurahador]

If Majora Mask turns out to be one of the exclusive....man, gaf will implode.

 

[Akiller]

So, will we see 3DS cross-gen games maybe?

Kid Icarus with good controls confirmed brehs

Nah, just bought a circle pad for 10 euro. I'll be good.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

If this was anything like a phone upgrade, the new hardware would be blowing the Vita out of the water. This is a crappy half-step towards a mild upgrade.

You know you'll still buy it.

 

[metalslimer]

Guys, imagine if Majora's Mask is exclusive to New 3DS.

IMAGINE

I'd be pretty pissed honestly. Unless this spec upgrade is a lot more than they are letting on, it would be a big middle finger to fans releasing it exclusively for this thing.

 

[ChaosAngel]

Hmm I wonder if that would happenwould FE be close to dying again.

It probably would due to the law install base. I was thinking more along the lines of a remake to tie us over until a new Wii U/3ds successor release. I'd personally love something like a Genealogy Collection, but that wouldn't really be taking use of the new CPU.

 

[Herb Alpert]

and now, can we have snes vc on new 3ds? please? with cross buy with wiiu?

Spoiler

I know it would only be a discount, but who knows?

 

[ramparter]

Nintendo, make this region free and everyone will stop complaining.

 

[chadboban]

Well Xenoblade looks bad, so it seems that was bad option to start off with.

What's the release date for it though? Does it launch with the system? Sorry, there is so much news everywhere it's really hard to keep track.

 

[Manu]

Are they gonna start adding stickers to the game boxes?

"Yes, it says 3DS but doesn't actually work on your 3DS"

 

[jj984jj]

Not surprised. Make it region free too Nintendo.

 

[random25]

It's going to be Majora's Mask 3D, isn't it.

You know, OoT on N64 didn't need an expansion pack. MM did. 3DS got the OoT remake. New 3DS is an upgraded 3DS, so...

 

[Akiller]

Guys, imagine if Majora's Mask is exclusive to New 3DS.

IMAGINE

I'd would be Bayonetta2ed

Spoiler

In the bad way.

 

[vagabondarts]

I'm going to make popcorn and visit GAF if one of those ends up being Majoras Mask lol

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Improved graphics? Like how much more improved? Vita level?

 

[Biggie]

I wonder if Nintendo will make New 3ds games eshop exclusive to avoid retail confusion and manufacturing costs.

That would be a nice idea but I think it will piss off retailers. Maybe if they make all n3DS games digital download card sale titles.

 

[SmokyDave]

Its a revision fam, wait for something that aint called 3DS

Sure, but that wait just got extended by two years and left me with a (probably) obsolete handheld in the mean time. Ah well, I barely play it anyway. I'm just bummed out because this 'upgrade' is a joke and the next real upgrade just got further away.

You know you'll still buy it.

I might, to be honest. I'm a handheld gamer and the second stick being built in is a great move. I was debating downsizing my 3DS XL anyway because the PPI makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

 

[Volotaire]

Improved graphics? Like how much more improved? Vita level?

No. Only the CPU is improved. We're not sure how much yet.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

not really powerful enough to be a new 3DS

this might be a stop-gap until they iron out home and portable merging thing

 

[Qurupeke]

A pokemon game for 3DS without frame drops.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Nintendo is certainly treating this as something more than a revision.

If they truly were it wouldve been Nintendo 4DS or something..why act brand new?? smh

Sure, but that wait just got extended by two years and left me with a (probably) obsolete handheld in the mean time. Ah well, I barely play it anyway. I'm just bummed out because this 'upgrade' is a joke and the next real upgrade just got further away.

Then what are you crying about dave? Gone lol

 

[Styles]

Why not wait 1 or 2 years and release a new handheld instead of this half-assed revision?

 

[Asd202]

Not surprised. Make it region free too Nintendo.

LoL.

 

[Waylon Drums]

If Majora Mask turns out to be one of the exclusive....man, gaf will implode.

I secretly hope that happens...it'd be so damn interesting.

 

[pixlexic]

i am in the camp of cheap handhelds should have incremental spec bumps through out its life these days.
