compl3x Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 It looks like Nintendo is preparing for an upcoming rival, the PS Vita, obviously. The company launches yet another round of updates for the Nintendo 3DS. Last year, the tech world was appalled when Nintendo mentioned that the 3DS didn’t feature 3D video recording right out of the box, but they promised that the 3DS will be supporting the highly popular feature in the near future. The Nintedo 3DS receives updates. Well, looks like the Kyoto-based video game giant has kept its promise. This coming November, Nintendo will be rolling out a system update for the 3DS console that will include the much-awaited 3D video capturing feature which will let users record up to 10 minutes of 3D video clips and enable them to create their own 3D stop-motion animation videos, Nintendo also said that other features will be announced in the future. Also, 3DS owners will be delighted to know that two [3DS exclusive] games from the Super Mario franchise will soon be released: Super Mario Land 3D (Platform-type) and Mario Kart 7, the games will be made available on November 13 and December 4. It’s worth noting that Nintendo will be offering and anniversary edition of the The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords which will be available between this 28th of September until the 20th of February next year. Ninteno DSi and DSi XL users can download the free game via Nintendo DSiWare, the Nintendo eShop on the other hand, is there to serve the needs of 3DS owners. “The 2011 holiday season offers up multiple must-have Nintendo games for both experienced players and newcomers,” stated by Scott Moffitt, executive vice president of Sales & Marketing, Nintendo America. “Shoppers know they can count on Nintendo to offer amazing entertainment experiences at an unbeatable value.” which is kinda’ true don’t you think? Nintendo will start rolling out the 3DS system update by the end of November. http://popherald.com/nintendo-3ds-prepares-for-playstation-ps-vita/news/2011/10/24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Johnny Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 "Last year, the tech world was appalled when Nintendo mentioned that the 3DS didn’t feature 3D video recording right out of the box" Whut? This is why I don't like the media generally, always going overly dramatic and inventing problems, and then general Joe public come across, read it, and then get the wrong impression and start touting it as fact. Blergh. No doubt they're preparing for the Vita somewhere... but I don't see a direct connection between that and delivering something they promised to us many months ago. This is just delivering on that promise. Preparing for Vita would more likely be ensuring they have a suitably decent line up of games by the time Vita launches, and I'm sure Super Mario World, Mario Kart 7, Metal Gear, Resident Evil, Kid Icarus, etc. will have those bases covered, and then making sure they've got a lot of interesting stuff in the pipeline.

Most of those people who download angry birds(or other sub-par phone games) and think it's considered "gaming"(lol) probably weren't the type who'd buy any handheld at all. So it's not like they'd lose a sale as the sale wasn't going to be there anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just couldnt see what the hype was about. I am considering a 3DS, but right now my DSL serves me well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casual gamers, that is gamers who play games on their phone and nowhere else, would probably never hand been interested in dedicated handhelds. However, casual gamers might eventually want a better and fuller experience and actually buy a dedicated handheld. if the manufacturers are smart and market and advertise well it could work in their favour. Lol...totally agree. I actually downloaded angry birds, and its average at best. I just couldn't see what the hype was about. I am considering a 3DS, but right now my DSL serves me well. I think it might be more of a cutesy/playful factor people responded to. It's not a bad game, I just have little patience for these small downloadable games. It's why I've never had any on my phone. I have a 3DS and considering Super Mario Land 3D is coming out soon and it is apparently awesome I might suggest you consider getting a 3DS. :) I wish we knew when Kid Icarus was dropping, though.

Especially with how much effort it seems nintendo is putting into the online portion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victini Aran Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 ps vita is not worth it.The 3ds is stronger than a wii but weaker than a xbox 360 while a vita is stronger than a xbox 360 but weaker than ps3.both have amazing graphics but vita don't have fun games and only for adults if you target the kid audience your sales will boost like the wii and ds.
