3DS- Where are the games??
« on: May 27, 2012, 07:30:25 AM »
Is it just my area? I look around and I still see the same smattering hand full of games as I saw last year during its first bunch of months after the system release. Or has the system been out longer than that? Has it been over a year already? I was thinking about picking this system up, but from the looks of the shelves in my area, there are not enough reasons to justify. I have picked up a system for one game before but it has been a while. And I already have Star Fox 64 for the N64. Is there still interest in this system? I am thinking that the Nintendo DS took off better than this. And DS games still dominate the store shelves in my area. And umm I am still purchasing them.  :)

I don't know that I have ever waited this long to purchase a Nintendo portable, and I have them all except the DS lite. Someone encourage me. Are third party developers interested? Am I missing something? Am I being sheltered in the area in which I live? Daylight is being shipped in about once a month.  :lol

I'm having a similar issue as retro.  The good stuff seems to be mostly 1st party software and it comes few and far between.  Everything else is filler crap not worth playing much less buying.  I guess trying to find all the coins in super mario 3d land w/o a guide or faq is going to have to suffice for a while until they start cranking games out.  I'm hoping this thing doesn't go the way of the virtual boy - I had high hopes for that machine too and it just wasn't supported by consumers or developers and is now pretty much a display piece in my collection.

Unfortunately most of the good games are still in Japan. Also, a lot of developers are still just pushing out DS games. :(

I'm hoping it will pick up next year as the install base for the 3DS gets larger from all of the kids who will get one for Christmas this year.
