Cactus Drags Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 So we're finally basically admitting that 3D was gimmicky bullshit that added nothing? Good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sousa Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Yeah, I just about never use the 3D on my 3DS. I love my 3DS to death, but 3D is nonsense.I'm actually really excited about this--we've broken the hinge on three different DS's. That this one is cheaper means it'd make a great Christmas gift for my daughter or my wife so we don't have to always wait on each other to play our one DS. It'll make a great second system.

King Ellis Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 God damn broken hinges. Microsoft get endless amounts of shit for the RRoD but I barely ever see anyone call Nintendo on their shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apsham Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Jesus christ. 2DS? Really? Why not dual analogs on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sousa Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 God damn broken hinges.

It's like me, Skummy, and Apsham at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatshortguy Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 If the new Wii U consoles are getting dropped to $299, the used models will likely go to $249-$279. Close, but not quite. Maybe I'll bite when Smash Brothers hits, but for now, can't justify that price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sousa Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I just got a raise and can probably justify that price for a big Christmas gift for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never once come across that. I can obviously see how it could be a problem, but up until now I've never, online or in real life, encountered anyone who has broken the hinge on their DS or 3DS. That, to me, would suggest that it's nowhere near as widespread an issue as the RRoD is/was, and so there's not as much need to "call Nintendo on their shit".And Nintendo get called on other shit all the time - the vast majority of outspoken "gamers" online hate Nintendo for, seemingly, having the audacity to market video games as a fun distraction rather than super serious business.

Kids break them all the freaking time. The number of people trying to return them is just crazy, and obviously they all get frustrated because that kind of damage isn't covered . But yeah, it's pretty common even in my town, I imagine it's pretty widespread overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizza Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Yeah, I'm totally getting one of these the second I can spare the expense for my niece to replace her old DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 The price drop/Wind Waker bundle sold me on the Wii U. Also helped I had a considerable Amazon credit, but I'm excited for it. Didn't know Wind Waker was available like a month earlier with the bundle too... Hopefully a good way for Nintendo to move some hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sousa Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I have played Wind Waker so many times. Is there even a point to buying it again beyond shiny new visuals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
