Reminds me of the absolute worst 3DS game I played.

Steel Diver. It was terrible. The concept was okay but the controls were beyond terrible. It was gimmicky and all touch based. But the 3DS touch screen is single point. You can only do one action at the time. The developers of Steel Diver don't seem to have been aware of that fact. Several points in the game require you to do two or more actions at the exact same time, which isn't possible because it's all through the touch screen. Eventually you'll reach a point you just can't continue.

That's why controllers are great

I just wish Nintendo would stop with these damned control gimmicks and just use practical, reliable controls.

They do it every single time now and every time it blows up in their face in one form or another.

Yet they keep on doing it.

Every new system has some sort of absurd hardware gimmick that ends up not being particularly reliable.

Steel Diver is cool ;-;

Once the initial thrill is gone it's just a chore to get through.

Motion controls got a lot of people to buy the Wii. but they were so difficult to work with that it turned a lot of third party developers away and the system had terrible game sales. Most Wii owners played it for a few minutes and then never used it again, they collected dust. The majority of those who kept using it just used the streaming functions. The dedicated fans who kept with it mostly only bought first party titles so it was a very poor market for third parties.

The 3DS then kept the motion control gimmick restricted to what it works best at. Precision aiming, that's it.

Not controlling damned near everything just because it's cool regardless of how impractical.

The Zelda remasters on the 3DS were nice in that they kept all the hardware gimmicks restricted to what they functioned best at, motion with preciision aiming, and touch with maps and menus. With the main controls being practical controls.

I'd say that the 3DS is their best system because their hardware gimmicks are balanced and the main gimmick was entirely optional and could be disabled easily.

i really like the 3ds

i still have my first one

I do enjoy the 3D a lot more on the New 3DS with its more dynamic 3D effect

those old shiny ones

3DS is a cool console,but it had it's problems,obviously,like lack of third party good games

I gave my first one to my cousin after I transfered to the N3DS.

Fuck the 3D its not needed

the 3d framerate issues on pokemon

^^^^

I got the first one as a preorder so I got the ambassador games.

The real prize in that was The Minish Cap

honestly 2ds is better if you dont use 3d

*pizza arrives
*enjoy
*"you too"
*awkward silence
***kill me***

I just ordered a pizza

You guys are so alike

It should be here within 20 minutes.

I haven't touched my 3ds since sun and moon came out and I wasn't really awed that much by those two

I have the first 3ds and im too lazy to get a new one
And Sun and Moon just felt.... off?

ik we're practically triplets @carlsbad

i tried making a living dex

i loved moon

i have about half of them

its better than gen 6

The 2DS was misunderstood. People considered it a downgrade and ugly. It actually was intended for small children. So that's why no 3D, because it's not good for younger children's eyes. And t's why there was no hinge. Because little kids have no concept of them being fragile and tend to press the system flat down all the time. My nephew did that constantly with his and broke two of them that way. So being flat and bulky mean it could handle little kid abuse.

I liked Moon, but it felt like a lot of shit that worked in gen 6 was unnecessarily changed. I dunno. Nothing can really hold a candle to gen 5 for me anymore
