Okay, so. There is the 3DS, which has already come out, and the WiiU, which will come out soon.
Here are some opinions on them.
The 3DS.
1. Okay first off, the 3D effects are for children 6 and up. We all know some parent with a 4-year-old is going to say "oh my kid is super duper special! They can have a 3DS and play with the 3D effects on!" And then what happens? The kid gets extremely sick, or has a seizure, and will need to go to the hospital. The parent will call nintendo or wherever they bought the 3DS from and complain about it. The results: the 3DS is recalled because of a dumb parent who thought their under-the-proper-age-to-play-videogames kid was "special".
The worst part? the kid's age wont be known until the news report about the recall, and by then it would be too late to reverse the recall.
2. okay, we get it, 3D is amazing. We have 3D movies, televisions, but gaming consoles and videogames? Honestly, what if someone made a game or gaming console based on jersey shore? Kate plus 8? That Kardashian show? Twilight? Justin Beiber? Rebbecca Black? yeah, exactly.
I really guess i'm saying that i'm just tired about all the hype over 3D.
The WiiU.
1. Hey, remember the Virtual Boy? Remember how great it looked in the advertisements? Remember how everyone hated it? That's going to be the WiiU. It's basicly the Virtual Boy's son (Or should i say demon spawn?).
Sure you can play videogames while dad's watching football, or mom's watching her soaps, or big bro is watching MLP, or Little sis is watching her JB DVD but do we really have to make such a big hype over it? What if you were playing a gameboy game on your wii? Can't play that on the WiiU can you? Also, TV serves as a distraction from videogames making them harder to play and easier to die on.
2. "Well what about all the other neat stuff you can do on it?" You know the iPad? "Oh no, nintendo isn't copying apple!" guess what? They are.
3. what about that Mii searching game? and all those other Wii Play tyoe games you can do on it?
Remember the Luigi's Mansion beta? Remember how the gameboy horror was going to be a first person view of the game for the entire game? Well, as it turned out, the Gamecube couldn't handle that and it had to be taken out. a scenario most commonly known as "counting your chickens before they hatch" This already happened with the Virtual Boy and well, i guess nintendo hasn't learned their lesson about that yet.
basicly, the WiiU probably will not be able to handle that and will have to be taken out, resulting in thousands of dissapointed gamers.
Summary: The 3DS will get recalled because of dumb parents and has an overused add-on and the WiiU is a demon spawn of the Virtual Boy, is copying apple, and probably isn't as advanced as we think it will be.
okay, go ahead and share your opinions now. or ,heck, review mine.
go for it!
