thecriticgamer 7 Posted October 6, 2014 The New 3DS also has upgraded hardware, which is the only reason it can run a game like Xenoblade Chronicles. A normal 3DS would never be able to run that game. Also, I like the New 3DS because of the built in C-Stick. As a left handed gamer, just having the one circle pad on the left side, and having to pay extra money for a second was a really freaking stupid thing that prevented me from playing games like Kid Icarus Uprising. Having this option opens up new games to me, so I'm all for it. Yes, but releasing them after three years seems like a cheap way to get more money. Smash Bros. when used on the New 3DS can use the C-stick because of more power. I read on a website that the Circle Pad takes up 5% of the 3DS' CPU, and Smash Bros. already runs at full power (Long startup time, restart when closing, no Miiverse or Internet Browser--Do you guys see this or is it just me?). I think Nintendo opened the doors for a better oppurtunity. Although, yes, I do wish it was another console entirely (maybe with HD display). Being rebranded as another 3DS makes consumers feel like they're paying for the same thing. Although I know devs will be happy to release games on the new hardware. And Nintendo does cater to the hardcore as much as the casual. There's nothing bad about them. They're even doing what PlayStation DIDN'T and are revitalizing a console we all thought was dead. Remember E3? Again, what I said before, releasing them after three years seems like a ripoff, and Nintendo cater to the hardcore gamers. Nintendo will never change. They are the Apple of the gaming industry. Unfortenatly you right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
