I don't know about you but I loved it. Even more than E3, really.

At least they tried to sell us Pikmin 2 for Wi, lol. But seriously,that one was all about the games that you're going to get to play THIS year, except Smash Bros. and Fire Emblem. I'd say it was a good Nintendo Direct. Not every ND is going to have ground breaking news. Most of them will just give details straight from Nintendo instead of relying on journalists.

I'll post about the 3DS XL once I freaking calm down.

Miyamoto never totally denied it. He said he was "satisfied" with the older version of the handheld, and was more interested in the successor. The press spun his words to suggest Nintendo wasn't working on one.

Lol this Nintendo Direct destoryed E3, I don't know how you thought it was disappoing, unless you hyped for Wii U news which we got new news on Smash Bros which nobody expected.

People wanted a 3DS with a Matte finish, I don't know if they wanted a bigger one tho.

Moved to general gaming.
I have to admit that I'm glad that it's just a 3DS XL, and not a full-fledged redesign. At least this doesn't leave the 3DSs that we've already bought obsolete.

I really wonder if the early adopters new what they were getting themselves into. I don't see the outrage yet, but it's stupid to be outraged. When you buy anything earlier in the cycle, you're going to get screwed over because you're buying a v1.0 revision.

That's the same across the tech industry, I have an early all in one that launched with 7, it is starting to die out because for PC makers, all in ones were 1.0 hardware. Same thing with iPhone 1 and iPhone 3G, same thing with Windows Phone, same thing with Ultrabooks and the original MacBook Air (Intel Atom, they're faster now but back then, they were slow. Im using a 2nd gen netbook with Atom and it is sloow).

On the gaming side: Xbox 360, had numerous internal revisions to better cool the system well before the stealthbox. The 360 only came in 20GB model, no Wi-Fi,no HDMI on the early versions only after the Elite came out. PS3, 60GB and 20GB were prone to YLOD, the models after than, no such problem. Features were drop to accomodate lower prices and the general system was better planned for cooling.

It occurs everywhere and well this is why only enthusiast fans should buy things on day one and not fanboys that have no idea what the consequences of being an early adopter can be.

I own a 3DS, I saw it coming, I didn't wait because I bricked my DS, didn't want to buy a DSi and bought a 3DS 2 days after launch for Pokemon White .

People wanted a 3DS with a Matte finish, I don't know if they wanted a bigger one tho.

I welcome it, I played the Rayman Origins demo, and Heroes of Ruin and it really does show how small the 3DS screen is, especially in rayman origins.

WHY!!!??? WHY MAKE A 3DS XL NINTENDO!!??
My body was definitely NOT ready for that Nintendo Direct.

Ehh, I know I'm going to buy the thing eventually through the year it releases anyway.

As for that Nintendo Direct I didn't particularly find anything interesting. More things to inform myself on information I already know.

[Penguin101]

I was slightly peeved that I'll have to consider trading in my amazing 3DS for the XL version, however I already have an amazing 3DS battery life due to awesome 14 - 20 hour battery pack

So I might pass...not sure through

[Ixchel]

I'm pleased it's simply an XL and not forcing an update, but they should've released it when their sales started to slow. :/

Screw you guys! The 3DS was way too tiny for me! This is for westerners with giant hands! I thought it was the best conference ever! We got a ton of games for the 3DS and they said there wouldn't be Wii U stuff.
