Japan loves handhelds
I almost bought a ds lite yesterday.
No one is talking about the 360.
Are you really trying to make a consolewar out of this?
This is low even for you guys
>Concave sticks
>Ergonomic
>Tiny thin triggers
>Ergonomic
>Hard rounded face buttons
>Ergonomic
Don't, the hinges are shit. They rely on the elasticity of a thin piece of plastic to stay open.
Get an original ds.
Why do all of you want to go to Japan, yet the Japanese want to retreat into fantasy land?
Too hideous. What about a DSi?
Buh muh 240p, only graphix matters (unless someone is talking about pc, then it doesn't matter)
>even the 3ds outsells the ps2
The Switch is gonna be an huge success in Japan isn't it?
I actually stopped playing my 3ds because of the garbage resolution.
because living there sucks, but visiting is sweet, senpai
No GBA slot, if that's what you're after.
If not, it's what I use for DS games.
Sonyggers should start saying good bye to all the 3rd parties.
Why though? I play games on my PC with a triple 1440p screen setup and my 3DS is probably the system I play games on the second most.
Funny how Sony is the one to lose third party games in Nintencucks minds while Nintendo already lost exclusivity to Dragon Quest and Monster Hunter is next.
Now post how well it's selling compared to the DS
>and Monster Hunter is next
what?
Even the PSP comes close to PS2 sales in Japan.
>He likes convex sticks
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Sonys retarded need to use convex ruined the vita for me and I can't stand playing ps2/3, their sticks are beyond god awful.
Yes
Japan has shit taste. The 3DS library is complete and utter garbage.
[citation needed]
Shhh you will trigger the nintencucks.
Handhelds replaced consoles as the dominant market in Japan ages ago
And mobile is replacing handhelds as we speak
Video games are basically dead in Japan unless you like mobile trash
I think this would be obvious when it sells on children's games that have zero depth and has next to no genre coverage, unique games, or games that play well due to the shit controls.
It's a port machine at best. There's only a few titles that managed to really stand out, but they got ported. What's the point? Everyone who owns one always lists the same games.
Even the PSP was miles better.
Whether you personally like them or not, they are objectively much more ergonomic than concave sticks which when pushed forward require you to either push the rim into the centre of your thumb or raise your thumb awkwardly to still fit it into the hole at the forward angle, a problem that convex sticks do not suffer from.
The DS4 marked the first time I ever modded a controller because I couldn't stand the garbage new sticks and had to replace them with convex ones. Combined with the terrible textured backplate and the bizarre flat and hard surface around the D-pad and face buttons, the DS4 is a massive step back in ergonomic design compared to the 2 and 3.
SONY IS FINISHED
Forgot your pic.
>mfw you own a sony device
Oh fuck off, even the Wii U has more entertainment value. I play all games, 3DS titles are just fucking garbage.
I own everything. I just developed taste by being exposed to good and bad games instead of just bad 3DS games.
...
PSKEKS ON SUICIDE WATCH
>Fire Emblem
>Monster Hunter
>no depth
wew
I expected a lot out of it but all I got was dissapointment. Worst Nintendo handheld. Atlus is the only reason I own one.
Monster Hunter has next to no fucking depth, having played every game in the series except generations. Its fucking weapon cycling you retard.
>Fire Emblem
>Any depth
Fucking please, even Tactics has 10x more depth than that weeb garbage. Oh boy, kill all the enemies on the map, so fucking hard. Can't wait to talk about waifus because the tactics are so COMPLEX.
I agree, SMT 4 was good despite Final sucking. There are some titles, but most of them suck balls. Most of the faggots here are underage kids that want to fit in and don't even play good games, they just want to be in the Nintendo circle and are social rejects.
I'm one of the few people who bought a DSi and it's comfy as hell. The lack of a GBA slot is a real disappointment but I just keep a flashcart in mine anyway.
>confirmed for not even beating low rank in MH
Games like MGS2 & 3 and Devil May Cry could never happen on systems like 3DS.
Oh fuck off, I played Monster Hunter before you likely even touched the series you retarded kid.
>all that ad hominem
sure senpai, i believe you
now go work on killing that giadrome
came here to post this
it's not miserable
but even ignoring the sticks (shit, I play loads of games that use the d-pad anyway), it doesn't really sit in the hand that well
the GC controller would be the literal best if the button layout wasn't actually retarded, even for games designed for the machine
Hope on a discord then, I can mic with you kiddo.
But mgs 3 is on 3ds...
GC controller is literally built around 3D games in mind.
And shit is bloody perfect for it aside for lack of another Z button.
>most ergonomic
I have a PS2 and that's bullshit. That controller felt horrible after a certain amount of time, especially when you're playing really intense games like fighters.
Barely. They had to make the controls worse, make it run at 20 FPS, and remove a ton of detail.
It certainly wouldn't be if it wasn't for the PS2. I'm not talking about technical prowess of the systems.
Switch.
...
Are you guys fatties with sweaty hands destroying the controller? I am serious, never had a problem with PS2, PS3 or PS4 controllers
But the ps4 is projected to outsell the vita, the reason the 3ds is dominating is because is the only console worth owning this gen.
If anything, this proves that nips taste have been getting worse over time
Well sure the systems came out at different times.
>make it run at 20 FPS
The standard for home consoles, what's the problem?
You ever held a 360 controller? You're supposed to "hug" it with your hands.
Some people make the mistake of doing this on playstation controllers as well. You're supposed to hold it lighter.
3DS is fine, your taste is just different.
The PS2 received 18 different revisions over its lifespan
Japan is the only place left with some taste.
It's ok.
DS and PSP were better.
Less than the psp.
XL isn't re-release. LL is the same as XL.
You don't want to play this game user, because you'll lose. When factor in the failure rate of PS2 phat, and PS2 slim existing, and you've got a lot of extra sales right there.
Yes, I use it to play some PC games like DMC, but for me it is just weird how people complain about Sony or Microsoft controllers at all
And we wonder why the console broke that easy.
But really i got like 3 ps2 because 2 of them got fucked.
PSP-1000
PSP-2000
PSP-3000
PSP Go
PSP Street
it's the same amount, actually.
complaining about redesigns and minor updates is just about retarded as it gets.
Eh, noticed I don't really understand how people would prefer 360 stick placement. Parrying was way harder with a 360 pad. I have at least normal sized hands. I would imagine most people don't notice that kind of details.
I'm guessing its mess of hardware is why emulation is so bad too
This isn't anything new. We had Monster Hunter Tri for Wii and Wii U. And Dragon Quest went to other platforms as early as PS1. They haven't been completely exclusive for a long time, let alone handheld centric in Dragon Quest's case.
Really, everyone is losing exclusives in this day and age, because we no longer live in an era where console makers are in charge. Third parties run this bitch.
Sony never did "easy" hardware but ps2 and ps3 was ridiculous to develop. I still wonder why devs never called their bullshit.
A few did, but most of them didn't complain as much as the PS3 era.
I think PS3 was the first time Sony ever faced consequences for convoluted hardware, at least for a few years. But then third parties fell back inline after a while. They always do in their case.
Mikami hated developing games for PS2, but reluctantly did it because Capcom insisted.
The thing is that we don't have more first party centric catalog as SegavsNintendo era. Nintendo still keep pushing games on top of hardware but Sony and Microsoft prefer just moneyhat some "exclusive" than make something.
Even then they dont have that much on their first party staff. We have reached the point that Exclusives are some kind of abomination because risks.
>Dragon Quest
>Nintendo Exclusive
Why when two of the best titles came out on Sony consoles and a superior was made for 3ds. The series has been in bed with both companies for awhile.
>also land of many virgins
coincidence?
I think not
Series just keep being released on big seller console as always.
Now FF is sony buttslut since FF7, at least for main series.
yet this thing can't outsell the psp or gba worldwide kek
>handheld gaming is dead in japan!
>everyone just plays games on their phones now!
>the switch is doomed!
>nobody wants a handheld today!
handheld in japan this gen just beat out the most popular video game console EVER RELEASED
BTFO spells BLOWN THE FUCK OUT
>3ds is still on track to sell worse than the gba and psp worldwide
>3ds is selling a third of what the ds sold
yeah 3ds is doing great
The DS was riding on the coattails of the Wii casual boom and barely even counts. THOSE people legitimately DID get stolen by mobile. They were never "available" before the DS.
Saying "this handheld is selling worse than the DS" is like saying "this console is selling worse than the PS2". It's a fucking non-argument. Of course it's selling worse - you're comparing it to literally the best-selling consoles ever made. THOSE consoles are the abnormal ones, not THESE ones. The 3DS isn't selling "poorly", the DS just sold insanely well.
>selling worse than the GBA
>that means it's bad
Or it could be another very good performance, just not quite as good as some previous ones. This isn't black and white. "Worse" is not "terrible".
What is it with you retards and your dichotomies?

Meanwhile worldwide the 3DS is still in the 60m range and hasn't even reached PSP levels of success lol
But don't be mad at Sony nintendrones :^)
Phones are your enemies!
How? It has fuck all in terms of games.
I bought it as a Pokémon machine and it does its job, but there's next to nothing else that's interesting. Most first-party games are just remakes, everything else is JRPGs. Where are all my 2D platformers?
And the vita is still at 9m KEK.
On the eShop
Just because you are too retard too look up games doesn't mean there aren't.
