It's hard to compare Tye's sig to Leslie's. o_o

DAMN $300 FOR A HANDHELD! I could get a PS3.

Yeah, but the 3DS is up there with the home consoles for sure. Based on what i've seen, it'll end up... 3DS = PS3 > Wii > 360

Wait 3DS is like a combined version of all 3 or better then all 3 iyo

He probably thinks that the ratings will equal the systems. like, just as many people will buy the 3DS as they did the PS3 which ranked higher than the Wii, which was higher than the 360.

Uh... what? No, I put which ones I think are the best, meaning, I think the 3DS will be an amazing system.

Pff, the 3Ds looks like late N64 games. XD
It's got horrible texturing, has no anti-aliasing, and bad lighting.
For a handheld it's great, but don't say it's anywhere close to an HD console, let alone the Wii.

EDIT- I meant to quote the one where you talked about its graphics.

 

[JasonBurrows]

The Nintendo HDS could probably be next if Nintendo were to update Graphics. XD

In all fairness, screenshots of games rarely do them justice, and the 3D effect might make it look different.

Dammit, Tye, your sigs are lagging my internet!

You must have really slow internet, then... ._.

No, it's just that your sig is a piece of *censored.2.0*. It almost froze Safari about 8 times for me.

This.

Ciaran: I agree. What they have to do, if they're screenshotting them from the system, is take only one of the two screens in order to make it appear in a flattened image. It will probably look better with the 3D.

Blue...heck yeah.

Nah, bro. Your sigs are too much. Even my phone is slow because of them. And I have a 4G network.

Looks kinda cool, itd be fun to play zelda again. but really, after thinking about it, i wouldnt walk around in public with a portable system, so id be playing it at home, but if im at home my first choice for gaming is always the 360.

The 3DS has graphics on par with the Wii.

Also, price is too much. would rather pick up a ps3 as a bluray player, or even a new camera lens if i was planning on spending 300 bucks on something.

I hate them too, but if I have to bring them, then I will.

Regardless, from the videos, it looks like the size of the regular DSi/DSL.

Yeah, just a quick note here... the whole portable aspect of handheld gaming is vastly overrated for anyone who is in any way, shape or form a social person. Why play videogames on a tiny screen when the entire world is around you? I think the only time I have ever played the DS outside of my house or a car-trip was during a 4 hour wait in-between classes...and just once, at that.

I'm anticipating "oh, but then explain why so many people are texting all the time!!", and the answer to that is: as dumb as texting is (in my humble opinion), it also happens to be a form of communication. Even though it looks like everybody's got their nose in their cell phone, they're still communicating in some -- albeit inferior -- way. With gaming, it hasn't reached that point of saturation where almost everybody has a portable console and anybody can just play multiplayer. I highly doubt any dedicated gaming platform will reach that level of saturation -- it will undoubtedly be a hybrid device.

As much as it pains me to say it, REAL portable gaming will be found on devices like the iPhone. But let me make something clear -- I don't see the point of "real" portable gaming in the first place and prefer console experiences, like the DS began to offer and like the 3DS is expanding upon.

Not everyone is the same as you Bul. I prefer handhelds to home consoles.

I'm sorry, but anyone who tries to argue this is either purely stupid or a nintendo fanboy.

Or has differing opinions.
