The games aren't better for me. I don't care about 99.9% of the Japanese Games. The only 3DS game I'd buy is MGS. But even that will have bad graphics, bad controls and a high price tag, so I'll stick to my iPhone 4. Enjoy your 3DS though (if you have one).

So far I am totally! I'm enjoying the 3 games I got but really excited for Zelda and MGS, but I don't know why you think the controls will be bad, so far everything I've played the controls have been anything but short of fantastic!

That's just me, and I'm sure I'm in the minority here. I don't like physical controls on handhelds. For simple games like 2D RPGs, Platformers, Arcade Games etc, they work well. But when there's just a single analog stick and face buttons, I have great difficulty controlling any 3D game that involves movement and looking/aiming. For example with the PSP, TPS/FPS games are unplayable for me because I can't aim with 4 buttons. With the touchscreen however you can hold your right thumb on the screen and move it around through 360 degrees and to different amounts. So in other words you have full control of which direction you want to aim, and also how quickly you want to aim. The same applies for movement.

I like the PS3 controller, the twin analog sticks are good. But the PSP didn't feel anywhere near as good. The NGP looks like it could have good controls, although I'm still skeptical about the twin analog sticks. If they're like the single nub on the PSP then I won't like that either. I guess I'm just fussy about controls :P

Thats kind of the point, Capcom wont pour loads of time and effort into a game that will sell for a couple of pounds but they will do as much as they can with the tech if the game sells for 30 or 40 pounds

Yeah, that's one of the downsides of the App Store. The pricing is too low. We might not have Capcom's full attention, but at least we have plenty of other developers making great games.

The OS doesn't really use any resources, which means there's much more power left for the game. The games are better anyway, since this is a real console.

Ok, I went to one of my gameplay videos and took a screenshot:



This is obviously NOT half the screen that I am covering with my fingers. I don't know how you're playing your games, but YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY HOLDING IT WRONG.

Cute how you are here, specially when you are so "disinterested" on the 3DS. But looks like you are still wearing your rose tinted glasses that don't allow you to see reality if you think MGS has bad graphics, which I already proved to you -- and you couldn't counter-argue-- that it destroys whatever you think looks good on your favorite iOS game.

Cute indeed. Now, please, move along. Spending your time arguing about something that you already (lol) decided it's not for you just makes you look like a really ignorant butthurt person.

You proved nothing. I didn't bother to counter your argument, because quite frankly you had no point. Graphics can be subjective, but it should be clear to you that a game on a 400 x 240 pixel screen isn't going to look as nice as a game on a 960 x 640 screen with just as much, if not more power. Of course MGS will probably be a great game on the 3DS, but the graphics just look bad compared to so many iOS games.

If you still think that MGS on the 3DS looks better than any iOS game then you definitely need an eye test.





Seeing as this "arguement" obviously isn't going to go anywhere, I'll stop here. I don't want to ruin this thread for the others.

Same thing again, you fail to backup your argument. Do you really think that you can get away just by posting images and mindless babbling about screen resolution?

But yeah, like I once said, you clearly have a totally different definition of the word "good", since you have made many godawful statements like "FPS's on iOS play as good as a mouse" and "Shadow Guardian looks better than MGS: Snake Eater", so yeah, no point in arguing. And thank you for acknowledging that you are doing nothing but derailing the thread.

If you have already decided that this product is not for you (again, lol), it would be wise to, you know, stop posting so much on threads dedicated to that product.
