I want everyone here to realize something heartbreaking.

please take the trolling over to gamespot or ign.

This is my first foray with Playstation this gen and I have to say I'm not very impressed. Granted, I know that some really good games will come out in the future, but so far I have no idea what's all the rage about Playstation exclusives. I've played killzone and knack at launch and both felt pretty mediocre, then I…

What makes metacritic any more or less valuable a judge of a rating than the rest of the internet?

Even though the analog already getting support by multiple games, even some that hasn't come out yet like Monster hunter 4 and IronFall? Try harder to make a good argument k m8?

Because they did a few things with it this time that they've not done with previous iterations of existing handhelds. The improvements go further. Adding the C-Stick, and two other buttons, along with a faster processor is very much different than what happened with the DSi or the GBC.

A negative comment from Archaotic.

Nintendo should follow's Apple production style. Every year a new faster machine appears and old games get updated to look better and render obsolete the old hardware or greatly reduce graphics.

No one complains about their iphones, ipads and ipod touches becoming obsolete to run new software after a couple years.

Just got mine, and I have to say, the improved 3D is seriously a system seller. It's absolutely incredible, and I'm one that kept the 3D on in the original one most of the time anyway. The fact that it works up, down, left, right, in light and in the dark and with no problems was amazing to me. Can't wait to get my…

I don't get why so many games coming from western developers have to use pseudo realism art style. It's so boring and done to death. I feel like the studios are catering to the lowest common denominator rather than pushing for a unique style.

complaining about anime in japan is like complaining about gritty FPS in US and that is just stupid

I'm way more impressed with creative design choices like this over hyper-realistic design.

It was the best handheld for adults

I believe otherwise. I think that there is a reason why most of my favourite last gen RPGs were on DS - it's not cause the graphics were better! I think the constant focus on graphic power above all else has actually hampered gameplay and other more important aspects of a game than the raw power of consoles.

haha that's a really good point about phone/tablets and speaks to consumer mentality and behavior - people will rush out and buy the annual Iphone for 200-600 dollars (even though the old ones run the new operating systems) but ask them to buy a new 3DS for under 200 dollars 4 years after they released the original…

Never underestimate the gamepad. As a dad/husband/guy-who-lets-others-use-the-TV-because-I'm-not-a-monster, I'd love to see old school JRPGs find new life on the Wii U, so I can play those lengthier adventures off-TV.

Not PS4 or Xbox...but Super Mario Sunshine HD for Wii U would be absolutely amazing.

The tone of this article is surprisingly negative.

How confusing is that for a regular consumer? Imagine buying a new Nintendo 3DS and Xenoblade, only to realize it is not a New Nintendo 3DS and your handheld cannot run the game. And as someone who now has a New Nintendo 3DS, I am happy (overjoyed!) that it will get games that will take advantage of its speed and…
