So the Ocarina of Time street date has been broken.

Keen to get a 3DS (lol) and play it again. It's been about 10 years since I last played it.

Don't know if I can justify paying $270 for a system I will probably only buy games for maybe 4 times a year.

^ You're in luck, he said a month later. The 3DS is dropping to $170USD.

That's lower than the DSi's 'new low price' at JB. Import, import, import.

Yahtzee's review of Ocarina is fucking priceless.

Nintendo's hardware sales are plummeting.

RUH ROH

Yep, they're doomed.

Pfft. Their hardware sales were monstrous, so naturally, they had a lot to lose. They are still tracking the same sort of figures as the competition.

Personally, got a lot of gams i am looking forward to on 3ds and have a Wii U basically paid off.

According to the Tech Crunch article, and doing some really rough conversions, they're still expecting a $250M profit. Down from a billion but #firstworldmegaprofitproblems

Poor them, I know that feel.

heh

Bought this and Ocarina of Time on an impulse the other day, it's pretty much as good as I could've hoped

The 3D is awesome, except you can only have it on for short periods such as cut scenes bosses etc otherwise it starts fucking with your eyes.

Am now stuck in the motherfucking water temple... what a piece of shit temple

So has this price drop kicked in yet? JB seem to have a good looking bundle up for $249....

Dick Smith is doing it for $199 apparently.

This is a good read.

I agree they're mad not to bring-a Mario to the smartphone market. Release a simple Mario on Iphone then something more indepth for 3DS.

Who's got one are they any good? Would be keen for Zelda, Pilotwings and the RE game for starters...

Most people just don't want or need dedicated portable gaming devices anymore. The world's changed. Keep up or keep losing market value, it's their choice.

I would mark for portable mario kart though, whilst driving an actual kart, or just driving for that matter.


**forever alone**

The game library needs steroids, stat. This thing will still go nuts once mario, mario kart and pokemon comes out tho.

It's a cradle that holds the 3DS and has both a second analog stick and an R2 button.

“There are no games I want to play on the 3DS,” said Chihaya Kaizaki, a 19-year-old college student who says he prefers to play dating games on Sony’s PlayStation Portable. “The selection of 3-D titles available is pretty poor.”

...and Sony is in the best possible position to take advantage of this. Their experiments with the Xperia Play is a good step in the right direction.
