Ducks are certainly tastier than dogs (pekin-style duck > boshintang), perhaps there is a relationship here (the tastier it is, the less likely you will give a damn about creating a bond with him.)
I should taste cats and parrots for a full analysis, anyone knows a good recipe for cats?

I don't appreciate pixelated art as much as you guys, it's why I use filters when I play emulators, shoot me. :lol
I love dogs and I love eating them, there goes your theory. :lolAcosta said:

Nah you should try em anyway, I hear it taste nice, even though I would never be able to, for some odd reason I find it normal to eat dog meat but not cat.Acosta said:
Did that help the PS3?Meier said:

Iwata said pretty much exactly the same thing.

Regarding the 3DS equivalent of the DS' Brain Training, it wouldn't surprise me if it ultimately turned out to be a rather traditional title, especially if the 3D effect really does help the player judge distance.

listen to the mad man
Link's Awakening will be on the VC equivalent for 3DS anyway, so no worries about playing it again soon.

You can't count on the old software to convince people that they need the new hardware, though. That would basically take a person who
*Does not already have a DS.
*Now sees a DS game they must have.
*Won't be satisfied with an older, cheaper model.
I can't imagine that's much of a group.

I could see some non-traditional titles filling that gap, too. What about some sort of gardening game, for instance? We know Miyamoto likes to garden.
Also, it'll be interesting to see what Brain Training 3 is like, since we know it's being worked on. I mean, the last two titles had you hold the system sideways, "book style." Seems that wouldn't be an option on the 3DS...

True, i wonder how this will work.d+pad said:
I already mentioned this in another thread, but i also wonder if the 3DS will see less stylus based games. Seeing that the bottom screen has touch screen (like the DS has) while the big selling point is the 3D screen, how will this work? Take the Layton games for example which only uses touch screen for gameplay. But if you want the 3D effects as well, do you need to switch focus between the screens "all the time" when solving a puzzle?

From what we've seen so far the touchscreen is used as a touchpad to move a cursor on the top screen.test_account said:
I haven't played the Layton games so I can't speak for them specifically, but I have played DS games where the gameplay is controlled with the touch screen but the action is on the top screen. If it's something like moving around and pointing and such I don't see why you can't focus on the top screen while controlling on the bottom screen. Think of the touch screen as a mousepad, you don't keep your eye on how you move your hand when using a mouse, do you?test_account said:

Andria Sang actually just put a Layton preview online:

You guys doubting Nintendo's ability to get the mainstream market onboard... You do realize the moment they drop a traditional Mario title or Mario Kart, they're going to jump in really fast, right? The current version of the expanded audience on the DS won't prove so hard to get, which is why Nintendo is focusing on expanding its own audience by getting the PSP folks upfront.
If Sony appeared capable of producing a mainstream hit equivalent to a Mario, Mario Kart, or whatever the hell else Nintendo's people can come up with, it might be a concern.

Ah ok, i didnt think about this, thanks!Jokeropia said:
All the DS games that i have tried so far (which admittingly isnt really THAT many) where the stylus has been used, have all been games where you had to see where you clicked to be able to play (games like Brain Training, Layton and Picross). But if the touchpad could be used kinda like a computer mouse, i can see that this will work indeed =)3DS shipment for the FY will be 1500k, initial shipment could be close to the DS one (500k).

So much to reply to here, let me begin:
Exactly, I think it's more fair to judge the 3ds launch based on Nintendo's strategy this time around(aka comparing launch windows, not just launches then nothing for months). re-take a look at What is coming out before May: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/software/spring2011.html
You think of March: Zelda, April: Steel Diver, May: Pilotwings. Suddenly things look up.
PSP2 doesn't need to show up in Japan just yet. I'm noticing a trend on specialist retailer blogs where they say they are unsure about 3ds(shipment to non-major stores, etc) and are going to be pushing PSP instead, where there is profits assured. This is the 3rd party gamer market Nintendo wants to go after.
Add in the fact that the PSP bundles are technically equivalent to semi-price drops and you have a very interesting situation.
A tendency on neogaf to just look at things through the western market view. Smart phones are not a threat and won't be till they gain a stronger user share(docomo is starting to transfer the main line to smart phones later this year, but 2012 is really the year to talk about this)(I can go get sources for user share if you wish)
But, in Japan, everyone and thier brother talks about mobile social cell-phone gaming and the effect it has on mainstream gaming/casual gaming. This is more of a threat to discuss.
In every single 3ds as a standard, Camera, Gyroscope, Always on communication, that's the real new 3ds power.

Square's DS sales are really going into the toilet.
FF3 -> FF4 was a 40% drop.
FF4 -> 4WoL was a 70% drop.
KH358 -> Re:Coded was 60% drop.
SaGa2 -> SaGa3 looks like it's going to be another 50%+ drop.
DQ is the only brand which continues to do well for S-E on the DS, but I wonder if DQMJ2P will see another huge drop.

Relieved to see Ni no kuni back in the top. Maybe word of mouth is finally spreading... even if it had a price collapse :/
