New DS (3DS)

[Zdm321]

Xcommando,

You do realize that WiiDS was an April Fools day joke by Game Informer, right?

0.0 WHAT THE HELL, I CANT BELEIVE THIS, THAT IS MADNESS, INSANITY, HOW COULD IT HAPPEN, WHY... why.

... ... ... I missed April Fools day. Oh and they lied, but thats not too important.




It also makes a little more sense why they said

The graphics will be indistinguishable
Not compatible with either Wii or DS games
Size of a DSiXL but less portable
And P A R O D Y being written at the bottom

Man me and my friends were waiting for a release date. Seriously they were.

*facepalm*

That it is. I remember at one time I actually considered Game Informer a serious magazine that was not only really funny, but well-written, with excellent reviews. Of course, I was in 2nd grade, so I didn't know any better. Whenever anyone ever rips on the video game journalism industry, and talks about how it's full of biased non-writers who don't know a damn thing about video games, that's the magazine that always comes to mind.

/It's only fitting that a horrible video game store would be in charge of a horrible video game magazine.

Lulz.  "Every single game is GREAT and AWESOME!  So come on in and BUY IT, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!"

for me, the quality of Gamestop depends entirely of whether the employees are retarded assholes or once. Luckily the people who work at my local Gamestop are not retarded assholes. However, one employee one time I went to a different Gamestop basically called me a moron for thinking Nintendo was gonna beat Sony with the next console.

I agree this one girl couldn't get "I DONT WANT TO BUY THE EXTENDED WARRENTY" through her thick skull I just wanted to go home to play the game.

Nintendo has very little competition when it comes to handheld systems, so why do they have to keep coming up with all this stuff?


BTW I am slightly offended by you guys/gals calling it "America" or the "States" because you can't forget Canada (Where I live).

(I know when you say "America you could say "North America", but generally people mean the USA when they say that. . .)

You answered your own question.

Canada has the same release dates as the USA?  I wasn't aware of that.

I did not know either my bad.

here it is on youtubes!

pretty crazy imo

edit: apparently I'm crazy and this actually isn't, whoops. When I was first shown this it didn't have the annotations and such.

I really think they need to stop making these new updated versions of the ds, which adds on and removes vital functions (GBA compatibility)...

there's been what, the ds lite, dsi, dsi XL, and now 3d ds?

Focus on the next gen handheld!  If they don't I really think the iphone will slowly start gaining momentum for on-the-go gaming.

...This is the next gen handheld.  It will be backwards compatible with the DS, just as the DS was with the GBA, the GBA with the GBC, and the GBC with the GB.

And please, don't compare random ass Java and Flash games with real games.

yeah, no


also I just realized that considering certain recent games and this new DS that I could end up getting mostly 3D games for my handheld and mostly 2D games for my console

Well, the DSiXL put the GBA slot back in and has all the functions of the DSi plus a bigger screen. I am thinking of getting one for myself once they come out with some better colours.
I first bought a DS back in December '04 when there wasn't really anything out for it game-wise. The touch screen on that one has been busted for a while, so we finally broke down and are going to make the jump to the XL. Or, well, my husband is. He's the one who has been using the old DS-original, that he now can't play some stuff on.
