Topic: 3DSXL is the worst

[RABicle]

It's like a fucking competition for Blunder of the Year or something. It's like Nintendo are looking at the Vita and thinking "how can we top that for non functionality?" It's like Nintendo want to be more out of touch than people think they are. It's like I've run out of metaphors.

What the **** are they thinking? They redesign the 3DS by making it bigger and heavier? It's already too big and heavy! This is why I spend most of my portable gaming time on my iPhone! The pixel density on the 3DS is already embarrassingly low for year of our lord 2012 and they go and make it worse! They release a crazy arse peripheral to add dual analogue functionality to their rushed to market portable and then, when deciding to redesign it, don't add that? This design will require a new, even crazier peripheral! WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING NINTENDO? The battery life on this thing is STILL **** and they've ramped it up to a size where they're competing against Ultrabooks that last all day. Oh and they're not even including an AC adaptor with it in Japan. Get the **** out of town I'm calling the cops on this ****. Where is the dept of consumer protection when you need one?

If you buy a 3DSXL you are part of the problem.

See that? That's the fucking MacBook Pro with retina display. That motehrfucker is THINNER than YOU 3DS XL, you piece of ****. AND it's battery lasts longer when it's editing 1080p video with it's 16GB of RAM and Geforce GT 650m. Apple had the fucking courage to ditch bullshit like ethernet ports because it was holding their badarse machine back. Not you 3DSXL, no you don't even have internal fucking memory, you have to use an SD card like a fucking retard. THe Macbook has an SD card slot too, not that it needs one with 768GB of storage already int he machine. BUT HOW DO THEY DO THAT? I'll tell you how 3DSXL, you emtyshelled crap, because Apple actually designed it, they customised every component and slotted it together like champions. I would've thought a glorified tetras box like you could've aspired to a more complex and compact internal layout. But you can't 3DSXL, because you're made by Nintendo, the latest non car company still run by blundering idiots with no clue about technology.

What the ****? I thought I posted this in Handheld General!

[RABicle]

I bet it was Crimm. More like Crimminal

[TJ Spyke]

It was obvious that any redesign would be bigger because they couldn't really make it smaller without making the screens smaller too. The redesign looks fine to me.

And I said before that any 3DS redesign would NOT have a second analog stick until at least 1 game REQUIRED the Circle Pad Pro (not that many even support it, and none require it).

the man has an eye for quality fun house material. (LOL @ post titles) RABicle you're a comedy genius (you were joking, right?)

[Chozo Ghost]

Bigger is nice, but I won't buy a 3DS until they add on the second analog. If they don't, then I guess I'll have to wait until the 4DS.

[NWR_insanolord]

I think it's fairly clear at this point that they're not going to do that

[Chozo Ghost]

Its not a big deal to me anyway, because I'm not much of a handheld gamer. I'm sure if I get a 4DS 5 years from now I'll be able to pick up all the great 3DS games I missed out on (and for cheap). In the meantime I'm more than content to stick with consoles... my backlog is huge.

[BranDonk Kong]

The Mac Book lasts so long on battery because the bottom of it is basically 75% battery, silly goose.

[BranDonk Kong]

And the 4DS will have screens on both sides.

[Tlon]

How is it possible to compare a $200 device with one that is ten times the price?! ... Nintendo is already having trouble turning a profit on the original 3DS, which is already relatively cheap, and you expect them to release a device with components worth more than anyone can afford?! Furthermore, Nintendo devices are supposed to be affordable, durable and easy to service. I would like to see your sight when you drop that Macbook Pro and crack that display.

[nickmitch]

I've seen that look. They freak out for about ten minutes before bringing it to an Apple store and getting it fixed, usually for free.

[NWR_insanolord]

If there's anyone who can beat Nintendo at customer support (IF!), it's probably Apple.

[Oblivion]

I've had nothing but bad experiences with Nintendo's customer service.

[NWR_insanolord]

That's weird. I've always gotten great service from them, and basically everything I hear about their response times and whatnot is positive.

[Oblivion]

I tried getting my Wii fixed under warranty because the disc drive had gotten itself fucked and they said they would for $90. I ended up trading it in to Gamestop during a special and got a new one with the credit I made off of it.

[Chozo Ghost]

And the 4DS will have screens on both sides.

I'd like to see a handheld which has no screens whatsoever, but instead has hologram emitters which beam the games into mid air so you don't need a screen at all.

[NWR_insanolord]

I, on the other hand, want a handheld that's nothing but screens. It should still have physical buttons, but they should all have tiny screens on them

[nickmitch]

With other buttons mapped to those screens.

[UncleBob]

I want buttons with tiny screens on them.  Those screens will be touch screens with tiny buttons on them.

[Crimm]

I want my touchscreens to also be motion sensors.

[Shaymin]

I have never been so excited about buying a product in 18-24 months as I am about the 3DSXL. Your arguments are invalid.

[Chozo Ghost]

I want my touchscreens to also be motion sensors.

What if they made a touchscreen which would reach out and touch you back? They could call it the Jerry Sandusky edition.

[BranDonk Kong]

I've never dealt with Apple's customer service (since I've never bought an Apple product), but once your warranty is up, you might as well forget about them altogether.
