Whoops! Did you just admit to using some E3 "Game Concept" vids as the foundation of your entire argument?Quote:

That's Zoltor for ya!
Crappy concept video perhaps, but a just as bad end result= still crappy(that video link I posted in this thread, is clrearly the finnished game, and It still looks like a pretty crappy game(lol if not actually worse then the earlier videos showed), so my points still stand.Quote:

(yawns)I'm tired of talking about SMG(seriously here, I'm not trying to make a joke), can we get back to discussing how much the 3DS is gonna suck at launch?
No, it doesn't. Because you have no point, you have no idea of what you're talking about, you never played the damn thing. Your opinion holds absolutely no water.Quote:

Um... that's exactly what Super Mario Galaxy is.Quote:

At first I thought it had something to do with all those star dealies you had to collect, but I figured that can't be it b/c there was like 90 of those things!

Anyway, back to the 3DS.
Although I have my 3DS reserved and I plan on having it in my hands on Day 1, I'm still not entirely sure what game(s) I'll be playing. I've yet to see a rock-solid list of the entire game selection available on launch day. The only confirmation I've seen are of the games that won't be available. No Ocarina, no Kid Icarus, no StarFox, and no Metal Gear Solid 3. Maybe that Resident Evil Mercenaries game will be available, but I'd rather have that other Resident Evil game Capcom has in the works.
Granted, things will probably pick up pretty quickly, but that first month or two is going to be pretty rough. And at $40-$50 a game, I'm not sure I'm willing to pick up too many "meh" games (Like Bust-A-Move) just so I'll have something to play until the good stuff comes out.
Um, no, SMG is different then Mario64.Quote:

The only other game coming ouch at launch that is worth mentioning, is SF4 bah, but come on, no need to settle for meh games, just wait until the good titles start to come out.Quote:

The key word there, is kids, the average gamer(if not downright most gamers) are adults.Quote:

DS games ran from $20 all the way to $40 (certain Nintendo games, usually Square Enix titles, etc...) so I'm guessing $30 to $50 is the new standard. I'm ok with that as long as they follow the Wii pricing method, in which over time the majority of games sell for $40, with just the AAA titles selling for $50.
When I reserved Pilot Wings a GameStop employee quoted me $40, which I'm ok with. Whether or not that's the actual price remains to be seen.
Like you, MrMatthews, I'll be a bit cautious with my cash come launch day. When the original DS launched I was desperate for anything good, so I picked up Super Mario 64 DS, Feel the Magic xx/xy, and Spider-man 2. None of which I'd consider classic (SM64 is, but it wasn't the definitive version like it should have been).
I can see being tempted by Rayman 3DS, as I adore Rayman 2, but I've already played the game on two other consoles before. It's incredibly difficult to justify that $40 purchase, so I'll pass. The same goes for a number of other "launch titles".
This time, I see myself getting Pilot Wings and Super Street Fighter 4 (unlike others around here, I think the gameplay is brilliant), and just holding off on anything else for a couple of months. Maybe throw Pokemon Black & White in there for some longevity.
The beautiful thing is there's still a ton of great DS games I'd like to play. Hopefully the 3DS drives the price of used DS games down.
Not to mention from what I hear, there are no plans to drop support for the DS anytime soon(infact developers/publishers are gonna supposedly go out of the way, to make the DS last even longer, which is awesome, because according to interviews, this will likely get us games that were only released in Japan). Also Nintendo even stated in a interview, that they don't have plans to drop DS support either(perhaps 2 years down the road or something, but nothing soon).Quote:
