It is possible to not understand without being confused.
It is possible to be inaccessible without hiding.
It is possible to be aware without being awake.

It's a real shame there's absolutely no way that is living up to its name.

I'll get it eventually. I can't believe that the battery life is so awful though. It pretty much turns it into a sit-down console since you'll never be able to play it away from a wall socket.
Again, you can easily get 5 hours even with 3D mode turned on if you lower the brightness and turn off WiFi. If you play in 2D mode you can get 8 hours.
So I have to turn off all the good features to get it to last 8 hours? That's pathetic.

Been awhile...had to reset my password. (Didn't remember what it was)

Anyway, I don't see myself getting a 3DS right away or even soon. There is no game I really HAVE to have in the foreseeable future and I'm cheap so I don't want to pay for it. I mean...do you know how many Wonder Woman back issues $249 can buy?

I only got the original DS as early as I did because it had a Castlevania game...and I'm a Castlevania whore. But I was working at King Soopers at the time...it was an ENTIRE paycheck to buy that thing.

I wonder how quickly Nintendo will drop the price in that thing. It shouldn't be more than a year.

Depends on how well it sells.

There is no reasonable way for it to work.
Other than the big screen being hooked up to a display... which would be ridiculously easy for any manufacturer to implement. The 3DS ends up being the controller, hooked up to a TV that also runs the games. It worked for the PSP-2000, why not the 3DS? Many of the games being planned for the system are more console-oriented... why not give more options to the consumer? I thought you of all people would want more things you can do with your device. Especially if it has 3D TV compatibility and the ability to look at pictures or movies in 3D loaded onto the 3DS.[cleft=darkslategray][/cleft][cright=black][/cright][pleft=white][/pleft][dl=black][/dl]

That still doesn't solve the issue of the second screen, nor the issue of tilt and motion controls while being tethered to a television and probably a power supply.

The logistics are retarded and you are the only person in history who has ever wanted such a feature.

It works for the PSP because the system has only one display, no touch screen, no motion controls, and no 3D.

NGamer on Rayman 3D:
"Really loveless port. Frame rate is all over the shop and the 3D is the weakest I've seen."

God dammit. How do port a Dreamcast game to 3DS and fuck up the frame rate?

More things to do with my device? Nah I don't need that. I buy a game console...to play games. It doesn't need to do anything else. Granted I have gotten mileage out of Netflix on the PS3. But I don't need it...omni featured hardware is what my PC is for...

Again, you are the only person in history retarded enough to think that TV out would be in any way a good idea for a dual screen handheld with one 3D display, one touch screen, and motion controls.

Again, IT WOULDN'T WORK OTHERWISE.

It's a stereoscopic 3D display with three cameras, motion control, and a touch screen.

The cameras, motion control, and touch screen mean you would 100% have to use the system as a controller. Less than 5% of the population has a 3D display, so the whole main draw of the system is gone. Even if you have one, you'd have to wear glasses... which Nintendo is firmly against.

And how do you think the motion controls would work out if you were tethered to a wall outlet and to a television with two separate cords?

The aspect ratio of the 3D display is different from that of a television, so you'd either be playing with major distortion or large borders.

Not to mention the fact that you'd constantly have to be looking back and forth between the console and the television due to the fact that there would be no way to see the touch screen from the TV screen.

Sorry, but your suggestion is utterly ridiculous. It wouldn't be practical. It wasn't practical when you thought the DS should have TV out and it's even less practical now that the handheld has a 3D display, three cameras, and motion control.
