Question of the Day, June 27, 2010



There's been a lot of hype surrounding the 3DS since developers and fans alike got to demo it at E3 last week. Warren Spector, developer of the upcoming game Epic Mickey, said it "changed my life." So what do you think? Will the 3DS fly or flop?

Sure, it's a good thing, but it's not as great as Sliced Bread. This 3D fad is going way out of hand in my opinion.

EDIT: In the end, this is probably all James Cameron's fault.

As long as they make a new Pokemon Periwinkle and Asshat Red for it than parents will be forced to buy it regardless of how good it is.

Of course not, its been hyped up to the level of the second coming of Christ...
I still am really liking it. But there is no way it can be as good as it's being hyped. Doesn't mean it can't be awesome.

Well, considering every first-hand account of the console so far appears to have been something along the lines of "this is going to change EVERYTHING", I like to think that, yes, the 3DS is going to be freakin amazing.

I don't know why they're calling it the 3DS though, its a bit of a crap name if you ask me... it makes it sound like another iteration of the DS, rather than a full blown successor.

Yes. Not for the 3D, however.
I mean, what other system has Metal Gear Solid, Kingdom Hearts, and Mario?

The 3D shit?

Who cares.

It will be awesome because of the games. Like all of N's handhelds, it will be stuffed to the brim with awesome games. My DS collection is nearly 4x larger than my Wii/Gamecube collection combined.

I'm excited about it to no end, this is a massive step forward and all... But I cant help but feel I'll be disappointed by it...

How are we supposed to know, all the information I have came out of Nintendo's hype machine.

It's probably going to be good, but I don't see any reasons to upgrade to from a DSi (same with DS -> DSi), other than the 3D, which I can't really say will be worth it or not until I see it with my own eyes (my expectations are low, but it might be worth it).
I mean, I'm still excited for it, as I am for every new piece of mainstream technology, but I don't see it being 'the best thing since sliced bread' :)

I'd be happier if they put on another analogue stick bit it does look great as it is. The MGS3 remake looks awesome from shots I have seen and I like the sound of Saints Row on it. We shall see though.

All the naked eye 3D things I've seen I've just had to pretend I could actually see them as 3D... I think my eyes might be broken.

Does anything ever live up to all the hype? Of course not. That's why it's hype.

I have yet to see it in action, so I can't say how hype will affect it after release.
