Same thoughts exactly. It was possible that MH Rise may be similar to Portable 3rd which never received G rank. Luckily this is not the case.
I agree, but as someone who already has really bad eyesight, going with the regular after a few months of usage just didn't do it anymore sadly. The XL was a good idea in terms of size, but target resolution should have been bumped up as well. But Nintendo certainly didn't want to split 3DS development efforts or make the platform less accessible for developers by introducing a second mode/specsheet to develop for, so... yeah, I get why they didn't. But 4.8" with 240p resolution was rough, ngl.
This certainly is/was a factor as well, yeah.
lmao classic
I wonder what a dating game directed by Miyamoto would look like 🤔
I kinda feel the other way around, these days I don't feel like using my 3DS because it's so small and the screen is so fark.
I think I would use it more nowadays if I had an XL.
Though I do lament how much less portable teh SWitch is.
Maybe I just need the right game to get back to it.
I liked the 3DS but I never really quite fell in love with its library. Outside of Pokemon the first party offerings were overall better than the DS, with a couple of downright classics like Kid Icarus, but the third party offerings were a bit wanting in comparison. The eShop was nice though.
Conversely the first party library on DS was so so for the most part but it has by far the best Pokemon games in the franchise, with some really solid, underlooked third party offerings - the Sonic Rush duology and Mega Man Star Force trilogy spring to mind.

The DSi is and probably will always be the nicest piece of hardware Nintendo has ever made, in my opinion. It just felt so... perfect. I made a whole thread about it. And the library available on that thing is probably my favourite library of games for any system ever. It's just perfect.
When I saw Super Mario 3D Land running in 1080p on Citra on YouTube for the first time I was like: "...wow. 3DS games can look this good?" Higher resolution screens would have done wonders for the 3DS.
The only game I like on 3DS is Link Between Worlds tbh
Mario Kart 7 is ok but I feel like it's pointless when you could just play Mario Kart 8

Indeed it was. It was the embodiment of perfecting the perfection. Just because it felt so good in my hand (and I had the superior color, the American Blue), I re-finished quite a number of games on it. Thanks to that awesome clicky buttons, I actually finished games that seemed impossible, like Contra 4, Order of Ecclesia and Metal Slug 7.
I own a lot to my 3DS, it introduced me to a shit ton of franchises, and it was my main (and only) console from 2014 to 2018.
The switch is a great console, but its selling pattern obeys to no rational laws. This is easily its weakest holiday season in terms of release and it's going smash the previous years. It reinforces my opinion that the switch concept is as important than its software, if not more, in the success of the console.
Important to remember it's the first holiday season with Animal Crossing on the market, which I think is a significant factor right now. But I absolutely agree that it's the hybrid concept which is powering Switch along to a big degree - but it's also the case lockdown and Animal Crossing have exposed the system to a much wider audience, and so I think we're seeing the effects of that. Throw in an enormous, varied library of games, and that does the trick.
3D All Stars is going to be a very popular holiday game too.
This plus 30% off Splatoon 2 is their strongest lineup they've had in forever, selling all of their big franchises.

The team that designs boxart was obviously the most affected by COVID. :(
Shit! Sorry. Zelda HD Trilogy trailer which includes just Twilight Princess HD. Fans are confused why it's called "trilogy" when it only has one game.
I was thinking the same when I posted those lmao
City Folk is pretty bad, the GameCube one still has the best.
Fire Emblem Nes just pre-installed. I'm not sure why I'm so excited for a game this old but I'm one of those crazies who loved the ds remakes
Tells you all you need to know the Switch will have one of its weakest holiday year lineups ever, yet break records. Everyone is being rewarded due to Covid. So many businesses are making tons of money off of Covid.
For sure. And next year, even if COVID is more or less gone by summer (big if, but I'll be optimistic) you'll have COVID growth still in H1 of the year (plus Monster Hunter, etc.), if Nintendo can follow that up with an actual great holiday lineup that brings the big hitters like BOTW2 and Pokemon, the momentum for 2021 will be huge.
It could be their greatest year in Nintendo's history profit wise.
Yeah, should get cheaper but probably less so due to Nintendo Tax. I have cancelled my preorder, but if December gets too boring, I might cave...
Animal Crossing is not what's making Nintendo these record numbers. It obviously helps. It's on Covid. Please don't downplay this. Many have died from Covid as it is. These companies all over the world are making money from Covid. Billionaires have seen their money multiply due to Covid. Sony and Microsoft have seen way better numbers than they've expected.
Y'all should just wait on immortals. It's gonna get cheaper real soon, Ubisoft games usually do.
look at Watch dogs.
look at Watch dogs.
I don't think it's downplaying it, I just think people overstate the effect COVID-19 had on sales of Animal Crossing. Especially in Japan we haven't really seen many other games sell anywhere close to what Animal Crossing has.
They have at least 4 DLC expansions planned. Just as an aside, if you look at Starlink, that should give you a good idea of the level of post-release DLC it will get. Its digital deluxe version (including the first DLC wave) is regularly 75% off on the European eShop, should be the same for the US. Immortals is gonna follow the same pattern.
I was gonna use a different example. But watch dogs was really recent and I felt it fit more.
No but Mario + Rabbids is, includes Mario, and has still been dirt cheap.
I should get off my lazy butt and start Pikmin 3 sometime. Had it for a few weeks and still have yet to touch it.
Then I went and bought Xcom 2 and Age of Calamity and haven't touched them either. Some things never change

Same here, lol. I finished Demon's Souls and I picked up Yakuza: LAD and AoC, but here I am still finishing up Valkyria Chronicles...
