"Still has advantages over the Switch".
A comparison article of the 3DS and the Vita can be found on my blog:

Cone on Newer 3DS or a 3DHS.. A 3DS with either 480p or 720p with 3D, is backwards compatible with 3DS games (and can redownload your old ones) but has its own games.
Hopefully GBA and DS games could finally be released on the dedicated handheld store. Mega Man Legends 3.4 Real? I love the 3DS, but unless the 3D is on, that 240p screen is starting to look more square. At leaat it makes VC games look fantastic. |

and the old president said the NX was going to be along side the Wii U and 3DS. And we all know how that's turning out.
Take what these people say with a grain of salt. They aren't going to tell you anything negative. Of course they'll say there's a consideration for a successor, saying otherwise is fucking stupid.

What else could be improved over the 3DS aside from Sub-HD visuals and better specs? They could make both screens a touch screen. The could even do a gimmick where you can split the top and bottom screens to get two “separate” mini consoles that can play multiplayer and stuff

The fact they hadn't even considered one yet means that even if they decided right now it should exist, that shit is still years away.
Like, we know they have been working on the 3DS since 2008 if not earlier. By that point, it's more likely to go alongside the Switch's successor if not be the Switch's successor using the Nvidia tech. Switch having the rest of the generation to itself it practically confirmed here. |

This patience is a good thing. Let the 3DS keep selling, until it stops selling.
As opposed to "stops selling because Nintendo said too much about a successor too soon". |

Another new president. Guess the game credits will change again. Kimishima was always meant to be temporary. He was a stopgap because Iwata passed away unexpectedly. But it also doesn't make sense to change the head of the company MID-console launch. As for a 3DS successor, gimme a solid 480p, nothing larger than an XL, give it a bit more oomph under the hood, a second thumbstick, and backwards compat with at least 3DS (and preferably DS). Ditch the 3ds, ditch the cameras, but make sure the thing can run SNES and GBA games with a meaty VC. Handhelds don't need spectacular graphics and giving them too much processing power murders battery life, so keep it simple and just develop a killer library.

(Basically selling 1 console for the price of 2.) or, slightly more preferably B. One console streams onto the other like the Wii U gamepad, meaning for fair play the console has to process twice as much as it would for a single game. If this were to as advertisable as the Switch's Joycons, the console has to be pretty powerful to provide a decent multiplayer experience this way... Neither are cheap. |

Do people honestly believe there’ll be a 3DS successor any time soon? I doubt there ever will be one. The only delusional people are the ones saying there is no chance of a 3ds successor because somehow nintendo will put the consumer before money for once in their lives 🙄

Do people honestly believe there’ll be a 3DS successor any time soon? I doubt there ever will be one. Nintendo has operated with a 2 pronged system since the GB. I don't see them abandoning what has been successful just yet. Successor might not be a dedicated handheld, but I can guarantee you they've been working on a "3DS successor" since before the 3DS launched.

Nintendo is a large company that employs thousands of people, the company will continue to operate regardless of when a leadership role is changed. People aren't waiting in the Nintendo offices to hear the edicts from their new boss before they act. In all likelihood the new president of Nintendo has been with the company for a long time, and has had a leadership role in the past. This is nothing groundbreaking for a company to experience. |

And considering the very high sales of lower budget games on the Switch (Stardew Valley sold 1 Million on Switch alone. Celeste, Wonderboy, Oceanhorn, and Bloodstain: COTM all sold better on Switch than other platforms) ... what's stopping anyone else from developing it on the Switch? They're clearly going to sell better on that market. Asking a small dev team to create another 3DS game is like asking to port an unlocalized Japanese game on Xbox. |

Great, so now we can stop having these debates about whether or not the Switch is the successor to the 3DS, right? Nintendo just heavily implied here that it isn't.

IrateGameFAQer posted...
they also implied the switch wasn't a successor to the Wii U and 3DS The Wii U almost immediately discontinued after the Switch was released, while 3DS/2DS units are still being made. I'd say only the former is true.
With great responsibility comes great power.

which proves the point that whatever the president says should be taken with a grain of salt.
it's funny how all of a sudden people are choosing to believe the word of the president as credible and/or absolute truth. I guess since it fits with their narratives it's now worthwhile to run with what the president says as fact.

A successor doesn’t necessarily even mean a totally different system. Could just be an even more handheld version of the Switch and at a more affordable price with the same library, and that goes in line with Iwata’s ‘family of systems’ and ‘apple-like approach’ idea/concept before he passed.
This is probably why Nintendo keeps saying they’re ‘considering all options’ or something to that affect, because there’s many different ways they can do this. A Super DS/SDS? (Original library + 3ds/N3ds catalog) A Switch Mini? (Same library as Switch) No other system at all? (Just stick with Switch and maybe keep N3DS/N2DS/2DS around for as long as possible) I tend to lean on the Switch Mini concept, and that Nintendo is keeping 3ds around until they’re ready to release something like that. I think there’s some evidence that Iwata wanted to do something like that with the ‘NX’ in some of his interviews leading up to it.

If the switch is anything, its a hybrid that leans more on the side of being a console then a handheld anyways. Or do you really think because something being considered a handheld means people would only buy one or the other? Look at how many people have bought multiple 3DS systems. You really don't think people would buy a handheld and a Switch? For someone who's spent most of the topic calling people dumb, you should really check your own posts.

Having a Pokemon game on the Switch, doesn't stop others from going to a successor to the 3DS.
Continuing support for the last generation system isn't without precedent either. Pokemon Black 2 / White 2 released on the DS, after Pokemon Rumble Blast on the 3DS. |

Mainline Pokémon games were always late in the states because the localization was always slow.

Nobody actually cares about this “actually portable” bullshit judging from how the XLs sell relative to the normal consoles.
There are alternatives to the Joycons’ buttons yaknow. Ones that don’t involve spending 250$ on an inferior device with no niche.CrimsonSmasher posted...Nobody actually cares about this “actually portable” bulls*** judging from how the XLs sell relative to the normal consoles.

CrimsonSmasher posted...There are alternatives to the Joycons’ buttons yaknow. Ones that don’t involve spending 250$ on an inferior device with no niche.
Instead you have to buy a $70 pro controller in addition to the console itself just to get a real d-pad. No thanks to hidden costs. Not to mention, a lot of Switch games don't even fit on the game carts they come in, which leads to yet another hidden cost: memory. Memory is optional for the 3DS, as you can just go all physical, but on the Switch this isn't feasible."Remember kid, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.

The Switch can too if you take off the Joycons. And again, nobody actually cares. It’s only the 3DS fanboys who whine about such inane things.
Or a ten dollar controller or a little 3D printed cap or that GC adapter you had from Smash...
Because a 3DS successor totally wouldn’t have low internal memory and forced downloads, lmfao. The N3DS is already restricted to Micro SDs too. At least Nintendo’s considering external hard drives with the Switch...Yeah let's see that. Duct tape the GC adapter to the Switch, carry it around in public.
I can't wait to heart the snarky comments that ensue.

Guess what? With the 3DS, you don't have to take off any part of it in order to put it in your pocket. You can just put it right in, without having to worry about dropping or losing your inputs due to them being separated from the system and having to store them somewhere else. You also don't have to worry about anything scratching either of the screens on your 3DS due to the clamshell design. The Switch on the other hand has a slab design, and good luck fitting both a protective Switch case + the system itself in your pocket, even if you do take off the Joycons.

From my experience most people hold their Switches, Tablets (including pocket sized ones) and 3DSes in their hands when taking them out and about. Which means it doesn’t really matter.

Star Allies is floating in the same space TD did. SA also introduced a lot of good multiplayer mechanics. PR has some fun gimmicks but nothing worth keeping and iterating on. I mean unless you count things like rainbow stickers being properly tracked...pikachupwnage posted...ranran-001 posted...

Couldn't care less*, unless you're trying to be sarcastic here.
And also, that's pretty dumb. By that logic, why don't we suggest that the 3DS successor be able to toast bread?

Follow your heart kid, and you'll never go wrong."Zero_Maniac posted...Because it was a cool concept and a Nintendo console. That doesn't mean it doesn't have a lot of flaws. Next you'll be telling me that the reason the Wii sold so well was because it was actually a better console than the PS3/Xbox 360.
What's a "better console"?
Is the PS3/360 more powerful than the Wii?
Of course.
But that doesn't make them superior systems.
Remember: for consoles it's never really about the power, but about the games.
When you want the best graphics, you get a latest PC. End of story.
PS2 won because of that as well, and it also was the weakest console during its generation.
Why did it won? Because it had the best games. It made the most fun.
Same with the Wii. Yes, Wii had tons of shovelware. So did the PS2. That happens when a console sells really well. At least it wasn't filled to the brim with last gen ports like the current "consoles".
And considering the terrible 3rd party support even on Wii, it's actually really surprising that the Wii fully stomped the others into the ground.
The Wii was a NEW WAY TO PLAY. The PS3/360 were same old with better "high definition" (PC had that for ages) graphics. So graphics improvement (well duh) and that was it. Boring. And nowadays it's not even new games for the most part, but last gen games ported over and sold once more for full price.
What I find funny is that the Wii and also the Wii U had tons of solid 60 fps games.
How many solid 60 fps did the PS3/360 have despite all of their so called "power"?
Most games on PS3/360 weren't even delivering stable 30 fps. Let that sink in.
PS2 had tons of solid 60 fps games too.
What's even worse is that the so called power house - the PS4 - is even unable to deliver solid 60 fps on last gen ports like the Last of Us. Again - the PS3 should not have used a Blu-ray drive (really stupid idea back then), and should have went for standard resolution. What was one of the reasons why the Wii won? IT WAS AFFORDABLE and not silly $600.
Same deal with the PS4. The PS4 is not powerful enough to deliver proper 60 fps 1080p gameplay obviously. So that one should put out 720p. Upscale that to 1080p, most people wouldn't see a difference, but that way they could deliver 60 fps for the most part. But no. It has to be 1080p.
Remember that the PS3 was promised to be the 1080p "power house" ($600). And it simply did not deliver on that. Tons of games weren't even 720p."On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer."

Actually it was the PS2 components that kept it so expensive."Remember kid, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Follow your heart kid, and you'll never go wrong."Zero_Maniac posted...And the PS3/360 had better games too.
No.
Most of the games were stupid shooters.
And I'm saying that as someone, who owns like 150 PS3 games. For me the PS3 was not worth it.
Look, I really liked for example GTA games on the PS2. They were fresh and so on.
Was so happy to finally be able to play the latest GTA on PS3.
And what did I get? A terrible downgrade except for graphics. The PS3 frame rate was so incredibly bad, I have no idea how anyone can defend it.
Then there was MGS4. I loved the PS2-MGSs, and then I get that turd. Okay, compared to MGS5 MGS4 is a masterpiece. So badly designed, but sure filled up a Blu-ray, thanks to all the hour long cutscenes. Surely not because of tons of actual content. MGS3 did that, and MGS3 was on DVD.
The few games that I actually enjoyed (Dark Souls 1, Demon's Souls and a few more) really do not make it worth it for me.
If I would have known what I would get, I would have never bought one.Okay, but that doesn't stop the games on these systems from being better than Wii games.
Define better.
The Wii delivered for example Metroid Prime 3 (and then Metroid Prime Trilogy).
Completely new way to play, nothing like inaccurate stick controls.
PS3/360 had same old with better graphics.
What's funny is that Wii had a few ports, but at least those made sense because of the superior controls (see Pikmin 1+2, etc).
On PS3/360 the only reason was simply higher resolution (that you would get for free on PC by simply upgrading the hardware) and tons of those ports ran like crap and were also broken.Actually it was the PS2 components that kept it so expensive.
Factually incorrect.
Why do people repeat this over and over and over again.
http://www.bit-tech.net/news/tretton_cutting_ps2_bc_won_t_cut_ps3_cost/1/
The PS3's cost was around $900 to make.
Yes, $900, because someone put a crazy expensive Blu-ray drive in there, which was 100% useless except for a few movie "games". That BD drive was over $300 already.
And then Sony had the brilliant plan to sell it for $600/$500, which made it even more crazy.
It broke even after each customer bought 8 or 10 games. BROKE EVEN after 8 or 10 games. CRAZY.
The PS2 chips were around $30 or so. Basically nothing compared to the crazy overall cost.
And my article says that the reason for Sony to remove them was actually to:
FORCE people to buy PS3 games and nothing else. And that's from Sony's mouth."On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer."
--Satoru Iwata, 1959-2015 R.I.P.jimi_dini posted...No.
Most of the games were stupid shooters.
Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls II, Dragon's Dogma, Ninja Gaiden 2, Ni No Kuni...definitely more than "stupid shooters".
jimi_dini posted...And I'm saying that as someone, who owns like 150 PS3 games. For me the PS3 was not worth it.

No.

I said most, not all.
And as I also already said - I actually enjoyed Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1.
DS2 was trash though. Dragon's Dogma was okay-ish, but nothing special and heavily flawed....And that's why you own ~150 PS3 games, huh?
I own tons of games, 150 games for one console is not that much for me, sorry.
I still own the terrible GTA IV, the terrible MGS4 etc. Why? Because most of the time I don't sell my games, even the bad ones.
I actually tried to sell MGS4 Limited Edition, just 1-2 weeks after release back then. No one wanted to pay an acceptable price, so I kept it.
If I had to throw games out, PS3 games would be the first ones to go.
And funny: if I would say that I own only 10, you would tell me that I don't have the experience to say anything about it.
I have more experience than you do, sorry.Yeah, the worst in the trilogy.
Wow, very well pointed out criticism....Instead you get inaccurate motion controls! Yaaaay!
Said no one ever about games like Metroid Prime 3/Trilogy./Pikmin/Splatoon etc.
You are making a fool out of yourself.
Yes, there were games that were made worse because of them like Donkey Kong Country Returns.
That doesn't make the controls bad though. And you know that those "inaccurate motion controls" are standard now? They are even inside your 3DS, your PS4 controller, etc.Clearly you just kept buying the same types of games over and over. If I had ~150 stupid shooters, I'd get pretty bored too.
I never said I would own 150 shooters, learn to read.
The PS3 simply has a terrible library. If you would have been a gamer during the PS2 generation, you would know that."On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer."
--Satoru Iwata, 1959-2015 R.I.P.I_like_BigButts posted...trolling
Yeah no.
If I wouldn't own all those games, but I do.
I also have tons of those stupid platinums, because I'm a completionist.
I simply do not like what Sony delivered with the PS3.
Deal with it.
P.S.: I also don't like what Nintendo delivered with the Switch as well.
If I had to choose between those 2, I really wouldn't know what to do. Maybe bullet through my brain, idk.
P.S.2: Trolling the PS3 on the 3DS forum? makes sense. Oh wait, no it doesn't.
But really, I don't care about resolution and all this bullcrap. Higher and higher resolution is the reason why the games are so bad nowadays.
Simply take a look how many properly made RPGs are on DS + 3DS. Tons. Why? Because they are cheap to make, because of the low resolution.
That even allows for tons of content without filling everything up with paid DLC."On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer."

Yeah, I'm not going to bother responding to all his points. It's clear he doesn't understand jokes, and it's clear that he's a liar. I'm sorry, but you don't buy 150 games for a system that you don't feel is worth it, even if you're rich. If you muster up the desire to buy 150 games for any system, that's a worthwhile system in your eyes, and you're kidding yourself if you say otherwise."Remember kid, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Follow your heart kid, and you'll never go wrong."Zero_Maniac posted...he's a liar.
That makes no sense at all.
What would be the reason why I would lie?
Do I lie about owning those games? No, I don't. Most of my PS3 collection is on here.
Yeah, maybe I faked that one over the years just so that I can "lie" in a 3DS thread.
http://psnprofiles.com/OldJimiDini
Oh shit, he actually has all those platinums.
So that's the truth.
Why would I say that I don't like what the PS3 delivered?
I actually like it? Do I do this because I can't afford a PS4? But I could sell all of those 150 PS3 games including my Hong Kong PS3 and afford one, so that can't be it either.
See, when you think a bit about it, it makes no sense, unless it's really the truth.
You can also see according to my profile that I never touched a PS4 in my whole life and will never do that.
So he loves Nintendo instead?
No, didn't touch a Switch and will never do that either.
You know, I can't stand the current gaming "industry" overall.
Microsoft started with this, Sony followed it, and Nintendo followed Sony after Iwata died.
It's that simple."On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer."

Okay. PS3 is still a better console than the Wii.
Again: Define better console.
On the PS3 so many things are broken. Even the PS3 shop is broken and has been broken for ages.
People then say "well use the web shop" (which is slow and also quite bad, and what's the point then of even having a PS3 shop at all and you can't use it on the PS3 browser of course, because that one is broken too).
On the Wii at least the shop worked fine. It was slow to load, sure, but it worked. It never froze the console every fucking time like on PS3.
That alone shows how broken the gaming industry is nowadays.
Can't even create a properly working shop software.
If it was just the games, you could say that they simply do not care (which they don't, because customers keep buying games), but they are even unable to deliver properly working shop software nowadays and that's just sad.
Is it better to have a slow but working shop or a slow shop that crashes all the time?
Looking at that objectively, it's the former. Point goes to Wii. Sorry."On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer."

But if you have a Wii and Xbox 360 then the PS3 is irrelevant.
However not saying the PS3 wasn't a good system.
I crapped on the Wii when people were scalping them, and shouldn't have.
