I hate the switch for killing the potential of handheld consoles, the DS/3DS were truly innovative and the damage lost from them is too great

Agreed, Switch is the worst of both worlds

the damage lost from them is too great

So you're saying they're a bad thing.

fuck your nostalgia and fuck your shit thread

3DS had better games

ESL

Word salad is more ESL than using a common phrase, brownie.

Yes saar good morning bloody basterd saar

same fuck tablet niggers

you're a retard. the DS and 3DS were some of the worst consoles ever made and led directly to the end the old handheld market. The resolution and design is garbge. It has the same resolution as the fucking NES which came out 30 years before it. 240p shit when phones existed at the time with 1080p+ screens was a joke. You are only going to get fat tablet shit like the switch from now on because of the failure of the DS

i hadn't owned a handheld since the early days of the DS, but i bought a 3DS a little over a month ago and it was such a great decision. this thing is fucking kino of the highest order

$300 console / $60 games

$150 handheld / $30 games

Nintendo is idiotic for pushing away that demographic, then they jacked up prices as an extra spit in the face.

calls someone a retard and then in the same post says some of the most retarded shit imaginable

amazing

being asshurt about being wrong

3ds and ds are shit and ruined handhelds. enjoy the tablet shit because anyone who bought ds/3ds caused it

You are 100% correct.
It's strange they gave up on it JUST as they managed to kill off the Sony competition.
I guess they didn't want to cannibalize the Switch sales, but jesus christ.

nintendo forces devs to use 2-screen "gimmick" in some way

unprecedented amounts of truly fun and innovative games

naturally, shovelware comes along with it since people go where the money is

It's a shame that this era is over, but the library is still fun to go through to this very day.

There is nothing the 3DS did that the Switch/Switch2 couldn't do too.

i think they tried to get back that demographic with the switch lite

3DS and Shitch is the epitome of SOVL vs SOULLESS

can you fit the switch in your pocket?

This but PSP and Shita

muh resolution

the switch lite is a nothingburger when compared to the 3DS. A damn shame. But I don't see Snoy or Microshit trying to innovate either.

I know, fuck it only had 14 years to reach it's potential. That's fucking bullshit.

it could do the most important thing, small scale games.
the main appeal of handhelds was being able to do their own thing, now with switch/switch2 is just a bunch of console/pc games downscaled to portable mode much like a laptop, sacrificing performance for portability.
handhelds being able to make low res shit made possible a bunch of games, atlus would pump games non stop on the DS/3DS but now we get like one game every 5-10 years.

what did they innovate

They were doing dual monitors before it was cool, in the palm of your hand.

Tablet-style handhelds with large screens are a natural evolution of the format as half of gamers have entered middle age and developed shitty eyesight

it's "the damage from their loss" not "the damage lost from them" you stupid brown
anyway, I actually *agree* with the statement that the 3DS was the last good handheld and we should have done more with it, like give it a real second thumbstick
all we have now is the steamdeck which sucks and the switch which sucks

playing 4U on my o3DS + circle pad pro was so fucking comfy bros

That would be the Wii
