Price Cut Announcement Halves 3DS Sales

[AzrealMaximillion]

^ You do realise Paper Mario is a new game right? It's like saying 'Skyrim? Why bother. I got Oblivion! Uncharted 3? THIRD GAME in the series! Arkham City? Why bother when I can watch Batman on the TV!'

Personally I think come Christmas and first quarter of the new year we'll have a solid amount of games out.

Super Mario 3DS Land,
Mario Kart 7,
Starfox,
Kid Icarus,
Tetris 3DS,
Tales of the Abyss,
Metal Gear Solid 3D,
Resident Evil Revelations (unless Capcom manage to screw that up too.)
Luigi's Mansion,
E-Shop stuff. (and if you bought early the 20 free games. Although I think they need to see how much they're charging for some of these games.)
Rolling Western (who says Nintendo don't try new IPs?)
One Piece: Unlimited Cruise SP
Pokemon Scramble,

Also these: (dunno when released)
Heroes of Ruin,
Cave Story 3D,
Harvest Moon,
Shin Megami Tensai: Devil Survivor Overclocked,
Doctor Lautrec.

So yeah. It's a pretty decent lineup.

That's a LOT of remakes, remakes of games that don't need to be remade. Especially MGS3 since their putting that and all the other MGS games on a PS3 HD collection.

So what? These aren't remakes of bad games, and I guess I vary from popular opinion in that I don't see remakes as a fundamentally bad thing, especially when going to a portable. I actually like being able to play my favorite titles on the move.

And don't just ignore the promising original titles because there happens to be a bunch remakes. You're refusing to see the good games here because you've already decided that it isn't worth looking at, and the games we that we already know are good aren't worth it either by virtue of being remakes.

That's not my point at all. My point is that a brand new console should not have to rely on old ideas to sell. And why would a remake be worth looking at if they aren't adding anything substantial to them? We've just seen a re-re-release of LoZ Ocarina come out. For crying out loud there has to be a point where people tell Nintendo that this crap is unacceptable these days. No the remakes are not of bad games but they aren`t of anything that took a new idea either. I`m just upset that people literally keep handing Nintendo their money for the same game more than twice...

I hope the Wii U does better than this.

PErsonally, I hope it flops so Nintendo will learn their lesson.

In short: Nintendon't do it again.
