The 3DS is the better console in pretty much every way imo. I'd even say the lesser specs are maybe beneficial for a contemporary handheld. It just doesn't look like the whole portable Ps3 idea ever really worked out. I think it's tied to the gaming habits. Portables need to be shorter or segmented gaming experiences to entice people in who like game in short bursts. On the commute, on a break at work. Etc etc.

The idea that next Sony handheld, had the Vita been successful, would allow you to be playing something like Witcher 3, FF15, MGS5 type games seems just a misguided idea. Those games need long sessions of dedicated gaming.

I would suggest that's part of the reason the Vita hasn't really worked out as they hope. Though it is very good as an indie machine.

With both Xenoblade X and Zelda still coming, yeah it's definitely worth the purchase at this point. It'd be nice if we get a few more AAA games announced. But if not, plenty to keep busy with for sure. The quality of games on the console has been incredibly good imo. Much better than the Wii in general.

It's absolutely worth getting. You can find them fairly cheap if you hunt around and there're enough good exclusives to justify buying one.

I'm guessing Xenoblade Chronicles X and Zelda will probably be the only 2 AAA games left though. Just a hunch. (no, I'm not counting Star Fox as AAA)

If it's not on the PS4 level then it needs to have some incredible hardware features or there's just no point ditching the Wii U.

It's not really worth getting for the upgraded processor and memory. That seems like it'll probably just be a gimmick at this point.

The c-stick works well in quite a few games though! And the stable 3D is excellent.

There's an apt summation!

So you either play a lot of multiplayer CoD or you're insane (the singleplayer campaign was like 6 hours long)!

Haven't played a Doom game since Doom 1 back in the early 90s. I did enjoy that this actually looks like those original games though, in its pace and style. Just ridiculous kinda Mortal Kombat style gore, which is an important part of any civil society :-)

Lol you might wanna append "Americans" to that. I'm european! We are the natives :-)

Why would they think it'll do better in Europe than the US? Only a few games do.

Interesting game. Looks pretty ambitious for an indie!

I wanna know just how profitable they are. It seems a bit worrying.

They made one of the biggest games of last gen and it sold under a million copies. They're making one of the biggest games so far of this gen and it probably won't sell much more than that (I'm guessing it'll sell about 1 mil)

Are they really efficient with their budgets or are Nintendo just covering them for the sake of having these big exciting projects?

Seems to take them a good 3-4 years on these types of games so hopefully they'll just continue the series.

Trails of Cold Steel looks quite promising! 

Also crossing my fingers they don't mess up the RE:Revelations 2 port.

(someone should freeze-frame that video and list all of those logos shown at the end too)

Have they said anything definitive on how many games this will apply to? 

I think this roughly translates to "it's a christmas 2016 release, that's a long way off".

If it was a Spring release in 2016, you'd think this E3 would've been an OK time to show it off. Hell, look at the FF7 remake. Does anyone think that's coming within the next 2 years?

Lol "Knack was an abortion".

Never thought I'd come across that use of the word.

I assume these figures aren't particularly meaningful give that the game came out at the end of the month?

That mechanic could work quite well in 2D actually. Hope they try it!

Yeah, I don't know how anyone could find the original Xenoblade boring at all. So much to do in such an incredible world.

OK so it does look considerably better than the earliest material. I'm looking forward to the explanation for carboard box man.
