I'm going to accomplish the impossible. I'm going to own and enjoy both 3DS and Vita.

That's unpossable. I hope SOny doens't overprice Vita here (F*** you Nintendo, :S) but they probably will...

Also, release date for Vita plz.

 

[dragonfart28]

There's no way I'm getting rid of my 3DS - way too much potential.

But hot damn.. $249.. I'll wait for the $50 price drop and I'll be getting a PSV as well. It will be the first Sony game system I own so I don't mind splooging on some of the retro stuff as well.

 

[coldvein]

So are we allowed to post with a bit more leeway in this thread? If so, 3DS = DOA. Holy crap, 250 bucks... never in my wildest dreams did I think it would be any lower than $299 (wasn't even confident on 299, either). The 3DS is done as far as I'm concerned. It's an underpowered, gimmicky handheld that's not different enough from the NDS for consumers to care. For the same price you get a Vita... that's just unbelievable. Like buying a Benz for the same price as a Corolla.

Software software software. Thats what pushes consumers to buy systems, when they see a game they want and go "I will own this system to have that game"

 

[Oni Link 666]

I'm trading in my red ringed 360 for money to get Zelda OOT.

 

[AbsoluteZero]

Yes, it did:

a good first year lineup and MGS3D

also value for money in light of Vita

So did all the first year lineup get cancelled today?

 

[KaYotiX]

I'm keeping my 3DS and getting a PSVita.

Great handhelds!

Yup and of course its a troll thread I love the reactions stil heh

 

[Keyouta]

I lol'd.

 

[Raxus]

This is why you never early adopt. Vita is going to have the same problems as well. I am certain the 3DS will get a redesign/price drop tomorrow.

Glad I never picked up the 3DS.

 

[Despera]

What's a "3DS"?

 

[JakkuFurosu]

Im keeping mine, but also getting Vita day1 (preorder been in over a month already).

Im not mad at anyone who is trading it in....So far I saw zero support for this thing (only Ubi and EA conferences ive seen, but EA didnt even give a shout out when running through all the different ways you can play FIFA).They really gnna have to bring a surf and turf to the table tomorrow for 3DS.

 

[AbsoluteZero]

I'm going to accomplish the impossible. I'm going to own and enjoy both 3DS and Vita.

I used to say this about my DS and PSP, but in the end I feel like I didn't have enough free time for both.

 

[Black-Wind]

That's far from a compelling arguement, unless you're a huge fan tbh. And that screenshot in particular makes very strong case for the VEEDA..

Uhhh, is his argument "why he doesn't feel the need to trade in his 3DS"?

Because a game he wants to play is ... all the reason he needs.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This is a certified day 1 buy. So much more than 3DS at this time. The HW is killer and for the same price. 3DS will now have a companion in my house.

 

[ombz]

I'm betting Vita's uncharted quality games are going to cost $60

 

[Mariah Carey]

Yeah, it's like people have amnesia. The PSP was also a hot handheld with a big beautiful screen that could produce graphics a full generation ahead of it's Nintendo competitor, not to mention that at the time Sony had all of the momentum (as far as hype, media coverage, 3rd party support, etc.) and the DS still managed to be a bigger success. Not saying that history will repeat itself but lets not ignore it either.

Well, the DS was $100 cheaper, for one...

 

[evilromero]

The funny thing is as excited as I am about the Vita there are no games that really push my buttons so far. At this point I'm still leaning towards a 3DS simply because of Mario 3D, Mario Kart and then getting Pilotwings.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

Software software software. Thats what pushes consumers to buy systems, when they see a game they want and go "I will own this system to have that game"

Yeah and the software shown for Vita looks quite a bit better than what we've seen for NDS.

I think they will. They left the 3DS launch open for third parties as a gesture of goodwill, and the third parties really dropped the ball. I'm betting tomorrow is when we get the heavy hitters.

[Hex]

Mario done kicked up a hornet's nest here!
Hunker down!




(Not trading in my 3DS but you better be damned sure that I will be preordering a Vita day one)

 

[RurouniZel]

Not trading in. NGP looks amazing for the price, but I (currently) prefer the announced games coming to 3DS.

Once that changes, we shall see.

 

[Seven Force]

Pretty much this. $249 is just too good not to pass up.

 

[AbsoluteZero]

The 3DS still has time to be price cut. It's not like the NGP is going to be available tomorrow.

 

[Clunker]

As much as I know Wario64's intentions with this thread, I'm glad I'll be on GAF for the next set of handheld wars. I can't begin to imagine how much fun they where during DS/PSP so now I wonder where GAF's gonna take this set. :lol

If by "fun" you mean the kind of fun you get from stapling your dick to the wall, then yes, it will be loads of fun!

 

[daffy]

I'm betting Vita's uncharted quality games are going to cost $60

Lol okay

 

[ReiGun]

i think i'll go to gamestop and buy a 3DS and return it the same day brah.

You mean you haven't already. Tsk tsk.

 

[Tenck]

You may not have heard of this but it's actually possible to own more than one handheld and console.

Oh you, silly goose. You're only allowed to follow one company. Now pick your poison, and move one >

 

[hateradio]

This is why you never early adopt. Vita is going to have the same problems as well. I am certain the 3DS will get a redesign/price drop tomorrow.

Glad I never picked up the 3DS.

With PSP I expect redesigns every few years, but it seems that Nintendo does redesign their handhelds every year. I'd wait for 3DS Lite, and then a few years from now PSVita 2000.

 

[The Technomancer]

Yeah and the software shown for Vita looks quite a bit better than what we've seen for NDS.

Eh, opinions, but I didn't really see a single game that I cared about on a level more then "oh, that would be cool, I guess". I guess Uncharted if you really really love Uncharted.
3DS doesn't have that yet either, but it will have Paper Mario and Super Mario, which will sell the system to me.

 

[Jikagi]

I won't trade it in, but I'll probably buy a vita some time next year.

 

[ombz]

Lol okay

I'm just saying if I have to pay $60 for a handheld game I'd rather just buy it on the console.

 

[Randomizer]

AT THOSE WHO HE IS SERIOUS?

How that they do that?

Lol whoops! It's 3am here and I've only had 3 hours sleep.

 

[Carl]

LOLthread

You do amuse me Wario

 

[Kaako]

Wario lol.

 

[Izayoi]

Yeah, fuck the 3DS. I'm selling that shit tonight. Can't believe people are waiting until tomorrow.

Spoiler

anyone who doesn't get both is missing out

[XiaNaphryz]

No PSPs + DS pictochat jpg yet?

You're slipping GAF.

 

[Stephen Colbert]

My 3DS purchase was a mistake. It's sitting around collecting dust and...

Nintendo will almost certainly drop it's price down to $199 before christmas. They pretty much have to considering how poorly it's selling and how much more value the Vita is offering for $249.

 

[Big One]

I wonder how many people will actually do this and wait for like 6 months till Vita to play handheld games

what a dumb thread.

 

[Stephen Colbert]

That jpg is outdated.

We're going to have to see the same jpg with the 3DS + 4 Vitas. Only this time, the gif will be right because Sony actually managed to address everyone of their mistakes with the original PSP, whereas Nintendo sacrified their biggest strengths (price, battery life, load times, cheap games etc).

 

[60_gig_PS3]

I think I might trade in my PS3

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I haven't kept up with sales-age, but I thought the 3DS was on-par with the DS's first couple of months sales-wise? Though I agree sales have been under expectation, but that doesn't automatically mean poor.

That jpg is outdated.

We won't truly know until 2 years from now. It'll ultimately be the games that are the main driving factor.

 

[jman2050]

The return of 2004 is indeed glorious though.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

So did all the first year lineup get cancelled today?

No, most of it began to evaporate / disappoint ever since I bought the damn thing. The launch lineup was abysmal, there have been literally no new games for 3 months, the e-shop was absent at launch and when it turned up wasn't even fashionably late - just that icky sort of late where they try to sell more 2D than 3D content and are missing the promised Mega Man Legends 3 demo. Today was just the final nail in the coffin. Seeing that $249 price on the Vita has just activated my buyer's remorse to the extreme.

Not to mention that two days ago, the MGS3 HD collection was announced, which will obviously be on Vita too (otherwise Transfarring makes no sense). That makes MGS3D, one of the few major games that I was looking forward to, utterly redundant (and it was downgraded to boot). I'll play through Ocarina of Time since i've never played it before and then ship this bitch out to the retail 'Nam that is Gamestop.

Nintendo need repentance tomorrow if they want to avoid that gaming conscription.

 

[Scott32020]

What's a "3DS"?

Yeah I thought only handheld was NGPVITA!

 

[Stephen Colbert]

what games?
