Why no Pokemone Go on 3DS

Here is something I don't understand? Why doens't Nintendo allow 3DS owner to make use of the app on their console.

I know the 3DS doesn't have GPS function in it, but is it so hard to have the 3DS be able to communicate with the Smartphone?

I mean, the whole point of the double camera on the front was for AR games.

There could have been the opportunity to get the Pokemon in 3D. Why miss that out?

I mean, it would be the perfect opportunity for Nintendo to sell their devices:

"USE YOUR SMARTPHONE IN COMBINATION OF YOUR 3DS AND GET TO CATCH YOU POKEMONS IN 3D!"

That way, smartphone owner could be tempted to buy a Nintendo console too.

3DS does not have GPS

>Why no Pokemone Go on 3DS
no GPS

You don't know shit. This makes no sense from a marketing standpoint.

Do you think Pokemon Go would've been such a phenomenon if it didn't hinge on the fact that everyone is already carrying the game's only platform in their pockets?

Because the 3DS has no 3G or any GPS so you literally wouldn't be able to do the base concept at all.

Milking money from casuals and normalshits ≠ making good vidya and pleasing fans

>Make Pokégo a companion app for Sun/Moon
>One game benefits from the other and vice versa

Sadly nintendo is not smart enough to get their eggs from the golden goose.

>implying everyone has a 3ds
wasnt there like a pokedex 3d anyways

The normies don't care about the new games, they just want their nostalgia circle jerk.

Phones have better appeal than handhelds that look something out of fisher price or Mitsubishi

And you do not have good reading skill.

You miss the point. I never said it shouldn't be on smartphone. What I am saying is that everyone that has a smartphone can play it. And among them, those who have a 3DS can play it on their 3DS.

It make perfect sense from a marketing point of view has smartphone users might be interested in upgrading their playing experience.

3DS successor is going to have a lot of mobile type games and apps.

Just wait

phones are also needed to be a functional adult in today's society
even poor nignogs have phones

Do you have any idea how fucking hard it would be for both your phone and 3DS to stay perfectly in sync with each other while also with the GPS and 3G? There is literally no reason to do this if you're just going to use your phone anyway to connect to the 3DS.

but why?
if you have a 3ds you should already have a phone

Also not to mention you would look 10 times more autistic using your 3DS outside while walking than with just your phone.

And?
So what? Game would be playable on the smartphone like it is now and those who own a 3DS can use their console instead, while having their smartphone in their pocket. how is that an argument?

>And you do not have good reading skill
More like you have no idea how this shit works.

In any case what makes you think it would be any better on the 3DS?

Not to mention you would have to take your phone out every so often because shit drains the battery fast.

>and those who own a 3DS can use their console instead, while having their smartphone in their pocket
But why WOULD you do this if you are going to have to use your phone anyway even if passively, what are the perks of using your phone and 3ds over just your phone.

>users might be interested in upgrading their playing experience
in what way? the camera is better on smartphone, you can use it with one hand - the game doesn't need buttons.

>That way, smartphone owner could be tempted to buy a Nintendo console too.
they wont though
in fact, this thread already smells like "i want excusive stuff because i bought your other products, give me datz"

Then there's the fact that if it were on the 3DS it would most likely use the touchscreen anyway as opposed to the buttons.

because handheld are for autistic manchildren
go is for normal people

Use pokébank to transfer your pokemone go catches to the game.

here comes the money

>I mean
>I mean
>I mean

I'd be down for that. A lot of Go Pokemon have moves they wouldn't normally learn.

That's my point exactly, hence why making the app available on 3DS make perfect sense. What do you not understand?

oh yeah. transfer the 100 fucking pidgy and 500 fucking ratatas

i think pokemon go needs a lot more work, for instance make the game fun rather than collect the same pokemon just to increase the power of that one pokemon

AR in 3D (hte console barely make use of that gimmick).

Buttons.

>What do you not understand?

>what are the perks of using your phone and 3ds over just your phone.

>read comments of people that are not playing, mainly all of them are female
>they complain that they now just look at their phones
>posted on mobile

Women are so retarded, holy shit. It would be okay if these people liked their instagram or facebook shit, but not something that drives attention away from them

you are only confirming

Could they have fit a GPS on the game card?

OP here. It was never about exclusive.

AR in 2D with an actual camera will always be superior to AR in 3D with a 180p gameboy camera you retarded shitmonkey.

>buttons
The game doesn't use buttons it would just be touch screen only too you retarded shitmonkey.

I wouldn't know. I don't even have pokemon go nor a 3ds. It just seems like a smart move to me.

For one there's literally no use for buttons in Go, like at all. If it were ported they would just use the touchscreen.
Secondly the cameras on the 3DS are worse than most phone cameras so again the experience would be better on a phone.

You think they cares where money comes from?

No company does.

Exactly

Niantic doesn't care about Nintendo consoles, fucking lel

How so?

Damn just imagine nintendo making the next biggest app, pokemon snap, would u guys get it

This is pretty much Snap 2 in all honesty.

Your only reasoning is "I want this on the 3DS because I have a 3DS, I hate grapes."

>mfw playing Go on a Sony phone
WE FINALLY WON!
Sony phones are ass

None of what you stated say anything about me wanting exclusive.

I do not wish for it to be exclusive to 3DS (it couldn't anyway, seeing that it need GPS , so it has to work in combination with a smartphone anyway).

So no, I never wanted it to be exclusive to the 3DS, that would be stupid.

The point is, there is finally an opportunity to make use of the 3D camera of the 3DS and they are not using it.

Because Nintendo hates their consumers

>The point is, there is finally an opportunity to make use of the 3D camera of the 3DS and they are not using it.
Okay this is your only reasoning that makes some kind of sense, and as everyone with a brain in this thread has pointed out: The reason this is a terrible idea is because the 3DS camera is utter shit, especially in motion.

You can't into English very well can you.
He's basically saying you're mad because it's exclusive to Smartphones not that you want it to be exclusive to 3DS.

are you dumb? you realise the reason why pokemon go is so popular is exactly because its on the smartphone

EVERYONE has a smart phone, nobody would play this if it was a console exclusive

>The reason this is a terrible idea is because the 3DS camera is utter shit, especially in motion.
You kind of stand still, when you catch a Pokemon on Pokemon GO, though.

Also, some might prefer the 3D anyway.

>You kind of stand still, when you catch a Pokemon on Pokemon GO, though.
That's if you have the AR off, with the AR on you're moving about searching for the pokemon.

>Also, some might prefer the 3D anyway.
Very little people would especially considering the 3D doesn't really work in motion even on the N3DS.

>are you dumb? you realise the reason why pokemon go is so popular is exactly because its on the smartphone
see Never was it stated it shouldn't be on Smartphone.

>You kind of stand still, when you catch a Pokemon on Pokemon GO, though.
Not when you're looking for it, not when you're touching the screen to spin and throw the ball (hence why the 3ds uses shoulders to take a pic and not the touch screen)

>Also, some might prefer the 3D anyway.
Who would prefer the 3D in a camera that updates at 3fps can't properly detect light or darkness and is at a resolution of a phone from the mid 00s.

This is the stupidest idea I've seen about this game so far, not even /vp/ is this retarded.

there's no fucking point in that, just throw your nintendo into the trash, cause that's what it is, TRASH

nintendo has nothing to do with pokemon go.

>Using your 3DS is public

Ha, not a chance.

You grasp at straws trying to defend your "point". I will concede you (you), but only once. If you still don't understand the problem, so be it.

There's no "upgraded experience". The game is way too simple. A smartphone delivers all of it perfectly. I'm sure at some point somebody at Nintendo pondered your idea and realised there was no point.

OP this is a terrible idea and would never work.
How would they even go about "linking" it to your phone's GPS? Impossible

...

>I know the 3DS doesn't have GPS function in it, but is it so hard to have the 3DS be able to communicate with the Smartphone?

Yes, it is, you shit-head dumb fuck. Do people like you even fucking think before doing anything in your life? How does the 3DS talk to the smartphone then, huh? Tell me how. Through fucking magic? Through betawaves through the air? By slowly rubbing its nipples and whispering it into its ear? No you stupid dumb fuck, it doesn't have anything it can use to communicate to a smartphone. So it would need yet another shitty plastic peripheral and it's at that point that it becomes so cumbersome that even normies wouldn't be bothered to go through that shit when it could've just been on the phone only.

You put the wifi on "on" on both device?

Then why does its logo appear right after you start the app, chucklefuck?
Niantic developed it, but saying that "nintendo has nothing to do with pokemon go" is absolutely wrong.

>You just set both devices to "wumbo" and they can connect via magic!

Okay, people update me on this, because I might just be ignorant, but I honestly thought that most smartphone had Wifi.

Is it not the case?

nintendonews.com/news/mobile/pokemon-go-connect-future-pokemon-games/
They already said they would do this.

wifi isn't real?

And what happens when I'm out with no hotspot, even if there was one how would it connect to the phone.
You haven't thought this through.

>Then why does its logo appear right after you start the app, chucklefuck?
Because Nintendo owns a third of Pokemon.

So they have something to do with Pokémon Go.

Which contradicts his statement of "nintendo has nothing to do with pokemon go"

What does wifi do that will link up to my phone, are you stupid? Do you know how wifi works?

Not really, they're just obligated to put the name there because it's partially owned by Nintendo. Doesn't mean they had anything to do with the game.

Fucking wow. Okay, so both devices have wifi. Now what? How does that make them able to connect? My PS3 has a USB port and so does my 360, so that means I can just connect a USB cable between them and have a super console right? That's how the world works to you people right?

If you're talking about mobile tethering, it doesn't do what you think you want it to do, and that leaves out people on carriers that don't allow tethering.

Two device having Wifi can communicate with each other. It doesn't need an hotspot to work.

Not that guy, but stop being a dipshit.
The 3DS or the phone could open a WiFi hotspot through which they can communicate.

If you don't think Nintendo a company who's livelihood depends on their franchises isn't going to have a say/command over one of there biggest cash cows you're delusional.

Welp, they didn't put miitomo on 3ds, which is stupid if you want to get those coins for 3ds/wiiu rewards

They rarely have a say in Pokemon unless someone is in some dire shit, like Iwata helping GF with GSC's optimization.

Has there been any precedence for this at all? A mobile app that can override carrier settings to create a wifi hotspot for the purpose of a single app or game? I did something like that when I first hacked my 3DS to have my phone host a the CFW launcher, but that required a hacked up jailbreak/rooted phone, and that shit's obviously not something an official app can use.

How would the 3ds make this hotspot?
How does this connect to the GPS?

>How does that make them able to connect? My PS3 has a USB port and so does my 360, so that means I can just connect a USB cable between them and have a super console right? That's how the world works to you people right?
It's a matter of software, you know, that, right? Aside from that, two device being able to communicate with each other doesn't make a super device anyway.

The phone has GPS. You can't play Pokemon GO on it if it doesn't have it anyway.

There has not, they don't know what the fuck they're saying.
>hurrdurr wifi on both means they connect
Bluetooth would be the only option, 3ds doesnt have Bluetooth

DS consoles could already communicate with each other without the need of a hotspot, simply from device to device.

Sorry dipshit, but YOU have no idea what you're saying.
Have you ever worked with a Raspberry Pi before?
Plug a WiFi dongle into a Pi, have the Pi host a WiFi hotspot, connect to the hotspot on your PC and you can transmit files via WiFi using SSH.
Voila, wireless communication without bluetooth.

You didn't answer either question.

3DS and phone communicate through wifi. Phone transmit the information of its integrated GPS to the 3DS.

Does phone have any peripheral look like that?

What?

No buddy you have no idea what the fuck you're saying.
It's obvious through other peripherals this could be done. I can't just randomly have my 3ds have a hotspot for my phone to connect to though.

I don't think that would be feasible due to battery limits as the only way for them to connect is for the phone to turn on tethering and connect like that.

Because Nintendo didnt have anything to do with the development with Pokemon Go. They thought "what the hell" and licensed the title and gen 1 to Niantic for easy money.

They because they were made to do so.
