I remain unconcerned.

I'd be worried if there wasnt some big stuff coming up (skyward sword, 3ds stuff).

I think Nintendo will manage.

I'm sure sales for the 3DS will boost in the holiday when all the Nintendo games come out.

They didn't. It was a joke by the guy making Super Mario Bros. X.

Yeah, no.

Nintendo needs to stop rereleasing rehashes.

3DS hasn't really seen a launch game come out yet (OoT's not a launch game it's a rehash).

Until Nintendo bring out a NEW game INTENDED for the 3DS I don't think anybody need worry about 3DS unit sales.

I don't think you know what you're talking about because one, a launch game means a game released at launch, two, Ocarina of Time 3D is the best-selling 3DS game so far, and three, Steel Diver, Pilotwings 3D and Nintendogs + Cats were all made by Nintendo and yet Ocarina of Time 3D outsold them all.

Fuck no I want my Paper Mario 3d and my Luigi's Mansion 2.

Only reasons I want that overpriced, terrible battery shit.

And Kid Icarus: Uprising looks p. cool.

I'm all for rehashes. Childhood games are the best games, solely for the childhood factor.

Let's see:
-They put emphasis on 3D as the next big thing, and then they slap a ggigantic warning label onto the box sayinng that it could harm people's eyes. Meanwhile, movie theaters get away with selling 20 dollar 3D tickets to 5 year olds, with no warning.
-They announce tons of titles, yet none of them are launch titles.
-A good amount of them are rehashes.

AWKWARD ZOMBIE
