Much to our delight, Nintendo 3DS XL units were dispatched to press this week. For those who can't bare the word monster that is our Nintendo 3DS XL review, here are the five ways it's better - and worse - than the original model...
Nintendo Has Acquired Shiver Entertainment From Embracer Group
Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform
Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal
I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.
Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."
You can't make this crap up lol
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
3DS XL looks sweet.
I actually found RE Revelations easier without the 2 circle pad just using the gyroscopes to aim.
i guess ppl who praise the bigger & better screen are graphics whores after all.. i thought visuals didnt matter but they must.. I think nintendo will use 3ds as a 2nd method of controller with wii u somewhere down the line.. i have to see the cpp xl.. i bet it ends up being the same size as the wii u gamepad
Sad thing about the second circle pad thing is that either way Nintendo would have been heavily criticized for there decision. I think they made the right move by not dividing the user base with a built in second circle pad. Worst thing is that the energy spent on the pointless 2nd circle pad criticism would be better spent on actual flaw the 3DS has that need fixing, like it being region locked.
Break the locks.
