😅 Confusing Naming and Features of the New 3DS Line
The script discusses the perplexing naming conventions of the 3DS line, emphasizing the 'new' in New 3DS and New 3DS XL to differentiate them from older models. It highlights the system's improved features such as super stable 3D, a built-in C-stick for enhanced controls, amiibo and NFC support, and faster processing power. The speaker notes the system's smoother and more intuitive user experience compared to the original 3DS, but also points out some design choices like the relocated stylus and the need to unscrew the bottom plate to access the micro SD card. The absence of an AC adapter in the original package and the exclusive games available only on the new 3DS are also mentioned, with the latter being a point of contention.
🎮 New 3DS Exclusive Games and Their Impact
This paragraph delves into the exclusive games available only on the New 3DS, questioning Nintendo's decision to limit certain titles to this system. It mentions how some games, like 'Binding of Isaac', faced issues with certification but eventually made it to the platform. The speaker also discusses the retail exclusive games, starting with 'Xenoblade Chronicles 3D', which served as a showcase for the New 3DS's capabilities, despite its graphical limitations inherited from the Wii version. The paragraph ponders the strategy behind choosing 'Xenoblade' as an exclusive and the missed opportunity to port other Wii games to the New 3DS to boost its appeal.
🛍️ Runbow Pocket and Minecraft on the New 3DS
The script talks about 'Runbow Pocket', a port of a Wii U game, and its transition to the New 3DS, noting that while it doesn't utilize the full power of the New 3DS, it works well as a handheld game. It also addresses 'Minecraft New Nintendo 3DS Edition', announced during a period when the focus was shifting towards the Nintendo Switch. The speaker speculates that the decision to make Minecraft a New 3DS exclusive was due to ease of development and the inclusion of the C-stick for better gameplay. However, the lack of 3D support in Minecraft is seen as a missed opportunity.
🤔 Fire Emblem Warriors and the New 3DS Exclusive Lineup
The final paragraph discusses 'Fire Emblem Warriors', which was announced as both a Nintendo Switch and New 3DS game. The speaker finds it odd to see a game initially associated with the Switch on the 3DS, especially with the system's less refined visuals. Despite this, the game runs well on the New 3DS, and the speaker suggests it was included to ensure the 3DS had a strong lineup in case the Switch did not succeed. The paragraph concludes with a reflection on the New 3DS exclusive games, noting their limited number and the peculiarity of this strategy in Nintendo's history.
