3DS- a lack of games?

We all know that Nintendo's 3DS isn't really selling that well, although i brought one! Anyway, why is this? Many people have been saying it's because it is a gimicky console, it has terrible graphics, and some just think it's a DS. These are partially right, although really I can't see any other reason for it not to sell well apart from a lack of quality first party games. Nintendo has had plenty of gimicky, bad graphics consoles before (Wii, DS...), but are they considered commercial failures? Sure, the DS started off slow, but as soon as Nintendo started pumping out games, it became one of the best selling consoles in the world. That's why i'm really hoping that when games such as Animal Crossing, Mario Kart 3DS, Super Mario 3D World, Star Fox 64 3DS and whatever game Pokedex 3D is creating sprites for come out, the 3DS will sell just as well, maybe even better, than it's predecessors.

P.S. The best way to help out Nintendo in this time of financial difficulty is to buy a 3DS! I mean, they're even having a price cut!

Super Mario 3DS is back to the basics?



Well, according to it's developers, Super Mario 3DS is taking Mario back to the basics. Although, is that good or bad? I, for one, actually really enjoyed Mario Sunshine with it's complex gameplay systems, but Nintendo says SM3DS probably wont even have a hub world! At least the levels are still looking entertaining. It's still a bit mad that, even though the game is coming out at the end of this year, Nintendo has hardly let loose any details about it...

Hate Mail

OK, this might not seem like a reasonable update t this blog as a whole, but I just want to express my pure hatred for that one person who DID NOT say they were looking forward to Super Mario 3DS...

Oh, and on the brighter side, Nintendo has announced a 3DS price drop, which means I'm a bit annoyed that I purchased one early on. Although, thanks to the "ambassador program" I do get 20 free virtual console games, a lot of them featuring MARIO!!! Too bad I've already played half of them.

Skyward!

I know this blog is supposed to be about Mario and stuff, but is anyone else excited about skyward sword? I, for one, have been waiting for this ever since the rumors about it started some THREE YEARS AGO!
