Yes the launch titles sucked and the 3d is meh. Street fighter is really good though and the over the shoulder view takes advantage of the 3d.

Nintendo really needs to take metroid back in house. Other M was a catastrophe.

I definitely agree with his diagnosis of Nintendo. It now sucks. First the gamecube,then the Wii and now a shitty handheld console that is more or less the same as an older one (that was shit).

I used to love Nintendo, they broke my heart.

Fucking Japanese bastards. Bring back the good games!
Where have you been the last decade?

I worked with the 3DS using it daily for nearly a year and I never got headaches so it just depends on the person.

Games used to be *WAY* more 3D, so consider yourself protected.
3D films, 3D gaming, done it, no real problem, but 3DS really got at me. In any event, 3D doesn't do anything for me, experience wise, especially gaming (being colour-blind does not help, either...).

3D doesn't work properly on smaller TVs, so on a cell-phone sized screen it's abysmal, IMO. I don't like 3D even in movies that much, because I personally can't notice it too much, so it doesn't really alter the experience for me. So meh 3DS.

Totally different technologies, those "small TV's" don't use parralax barrier.

If you can't notice 3D in movie theaters, it's possible you're among the 10% or so of people who can't see 3D

I suppose, like many, I was expecting Portal 2, but this was enjoyable as well. Sadly, I was never interested in the 3DS (I think the whole "3D" trend needs to die off in all mediums everywhere), and this review did nothing but enforce that feeling ..... not that that's a bad thing! Cause I still had quite a laugh!

lol So much truth and so much hilarity all in one video. And let me say that I particularly loved the jab at Nintendo for simply remaking OoT over and over (and over) again.

Well that only means it works as intended, right ?
This! The fact that he DIDN'T NOTICE IT until it fucked up meant that Nintendo is DOING 3D PROPERLY.

3D that just makes objects jump out at you is terrible, and destroys immersion. 3D that gives games a sense of depth - as well as letting materials appear more realistic because of said depth - are how it's supposed to done. And the thing about that sort of 3D is that you don't notice it if it's working as intended.

3D does more for gaming then motion control. What I mean by that is it helps games, particularly Nintendo games, when you can actually tell how far away something is rather then imagining it. I was quite surprised how different it was playing Pilot Wings on a 3Ds vs. wii sports resort on a wii. It was like the first jump to the third dimension games made during the era of the PS1/N64/Saturn. I am very excited to play Zelda/StarFox/Mario on this thing. Just for the record, I hated the wii, and never saw a bright future for it, but hopefully things will go well for this hand-held.

Also, a new console is only as good as it's launch list? So tell me, what decent games came out with the Xbox 360/PS2 when they launched?

1) I think it's a bit too early to make judgments based on release titles.

2) This was the funniest ZP in a long time I laughed out loud quite a bit.

You know that pilot wings was a game for the SNES, right? and the jetpack was unbearable to control then too.
