Nintendo 3DS Early Impressions
Now that E3 attendees have had a chance to try out the new revision of Nintendo's portable console, critiques of the 3D effect and updated layout are starting to filter in. Opinion thus far has been mostly positive. Wired writes, "The graphics, which are much more advanced than you’d expect from Nintendo, left me pretty much in disbelief. They're on a level with Sony’s PSP, probably even a little better than that. But the eye-popping 3-D effect makes everything that much richer." According to the Guardian's Games blog, it works "beautifully." They add, "You can perceive 3D only if the console is directly in front of you, but this is fine for handheld gaming. I actually found it pretty adaptable in terms of viewing from different vertical positions. It was much more sensitive if the handheld was turned slightly to the left or right, but really, it coped perfectly with the slight shifts and jerks you'd get on a morning commute." During Shigeru Miyamoto's annual dev roundtable, he explained how Nintendo felt that particular types of games, such as shooters, benefit more from the 3D effect than others, and how Nintendo hopes to update as many older games as they can to incorporate 3D gameplay in addition to 3D graphics.
True. Which is why you can't get away with attacking him. You need to look at his arguments.
No-one has the time to consider the arguments of everyone with a blog account and free subdomain at 50webs.tk .
There's a bit more to it than that.
If he has something interesting to say why spend three paragraphs saying "this guy says Nintendo is trying to out-compete Sony, check it out!" ?
So you read the title, and that's it?
My post listed the reasons you made me want to avoid the link, so no I didn't follow the link.
Apparently people at Nintendo are reading his blog, because Nintendo's strategy seems to go in the direction Malstrom points :)
I hope you're kidding.
If you don't like what he has to offer, feel free to go somewhere else.
I think opinion pieces about brands are pretty sad generally, but I do understand that I don't have to read his site

Huh? Really? If I ever run into somebody who owns or plays a Nintendo device again, I'll let them know. For now, it seems that the only thing that Nintendo is destroying is closet space of the millions of Americans who have Wiis.
I don't respond to AC's.
