Can't wait for this to come out!  

 

Graphics quality != game quality.

 

Yeah, I know. But it's naive to think them shortchanging one isn't an indicator they might shortchange the other. Especially in a licensed game, which are notorious for being underwhelming in the gameplay department to begin with.

Slap a cartoon name on an underdeveloped game and watch the fans (and young kids who don't know better) lap it up because they'll support anything.

 

I don't get ANY portable transformers content... hehehe I have an Android phone and tablet running ICS, so there is not transformers content available, and a Playstation Vita. Oh well.

As for maximizing the 3DS, there are a few games (street fighter 4 and Resident Evil) but that's about it I've seen that really wow me. Nintendo knows it doesn't have to put much effort into games, because kids will buy ANYTHING they put out (look at all the petshop and horse race games on nintendo portables!)... Vita has a few solid titles (MK, MvC3, Uncharted, and a few others) but nothing really stands out, mostly because a lot of the games are made to interact with PS3 versions, plus the system has only barely been out worldwide.

iOS and Android seem the biggest draw for developers now, especially after seeing games like Grandtheft auto on Android, and Mass Effect... gives me hope for something big with the TF brand on a tablet (the G1 Adventure was cute, but no where near the quality people expect these days)

 

Those aren't nintendo-made titles.

 

looking forward to kingdom hearts, i wouldn't touch castlevania if i were you, and transformers do have guns in the game

 

QFT. Nintendo still seems to crank out quality games no matter the power of their hardware. That others take advantage of the large user base to shovel out licensed crap isn't directly their fault, or exclusively a Nintendo problem.

 

I know. Did I say I've lost all hope for the game? No. I said unless they failed to show Decepticon gameplay, I won't even touch the box.

 

This could be fun...but it was just a quick clip, but would like to see more b4 I decide good, bad or ugly.  

 

Looks good, might get this for my Wii. But I still prefer Fall Of Cybertron.

 

The best possible example is either Minecraft or Toy Story 2 for PC.

 

I understand this is an internet thread about video games,so law dictates we must bash Nintendo for having bad graphics/being teh kiddie/having too many fans/etc.,but isn't a little silly to bash a piece of hardware because a shitty kids' licensed cash-in game looks bad? Not to mention,and I'm not defending this game,but ALL 2D screenshots of 3DS titles look worse than they do in person.

Who here owns/has extensively played the system IRL? Super Mario Land,Mario Kart 7,Resident Evil (omg for little kids),Metal Gear Solid,Ridge Racer 3D,Street Fighter are all great looking and great playing games. I've yet to play Kid Icarus but it has AMAZING graphics when you view the trailer on an actual 3DS system.

Also I think I heard a rumor that 3DS had a new,improved 3D version of the most critically acclaimed game of all time.
