    3DS also breathed fresh new life into franchises like Pokemon and Fire Emblem. Pokemon wasn't in danger of dying, but I think X&Y brought a lot of old players back to the franchise that has bailed after gens 2 or 3. Fire Emblem was literally going to die if Awakening did poorly and hot damn did it not do poorly. And then Fates even outsold it, now FE is one of nintendo's flagships and I am so thankful for that

    • @GIR177
      @GIR177 7 років тому +67

      Awakening needed to sell 250k copies to keep the series going, and literally only one game in the series hasn't hit that mark, Thracia 776. Fire Emblem wasn't really dying, it just wasn't marketed as heavily as other flagship Nintendo series until recently, hence the lower sales. The first time most people, myself included, were introduced to Fire Emblem was from Smash Bros - we've never seen nor heard of the games being promoted outside of Smash even though they were still coming out with new ones, and that was the problem.

    • @tricksalot2

      The current fire emblem series had a split fanbase mode due to that weaboo simulator mode and the uncensoring hell that went into it. I want advanced wars back at least their wasn't any of that gahbage in those games.

      Bruh. It's a fucking kids game. Like smash, Mario kart, new super Mario Bros are games made for all ages. One glance at Yoshi's new island and u CAN TELL it's a kids game. It isn't made to appeal to grown ass men, it's for your daughter. You can tell that much from the art style. Criticisms like that are the only ones from Scott that annoy me lol I love him to death but bruh ur not a 10yr old girl, some of these games aren't being made for u anymore chief
      I'm not saying all Nintendo titles are only for kids, but some definitely are. That's like him saying Kirby's epic yarn is terrible lol

      I liked StreetPass a lot, just the thought that as I'm walking around town my 3DS is communicating with other 3DS' swapping our data. However a lot of the games just felt like a chore to play or just got boring quickly. The Animal Crossing feature was amazing being able to visit other people's homes but eventually when you're picking up like 16 people, you just can't be bothered to see what they've got going.

    I'm so glad there are people still making videos like you do. Your style and jokes reminds me of old Caddicarus and AVGN videos, and since those guys have lost their charm it's great you're here to keep the ball rolling. I hope you get more subs, and since you're active and make great content I wouldn't be surprised if you pass 1000-3000 subs in 2017 alone. I've been planning to start up a game review and gaming talking channel for a while since let's plays are going out of style, and watching your videos is really inspiring for me, as much as that sounds cheesy. Once I do get set up, I'd love to have you in my videos some time if you're interested, and I hope you keep up the awesome videos you're making now. The topics really hit home for me, (especially the digital vs physical one) and I feel like your channel is the kind of thing I've been looking for on UA-cam for a while.

    My parents bought me my original 3ds for my 6th birthday, August 31, 2011. It was the red version which is probably why red is, to this day, my favorite color. Recently, I’ve been playing Mario Kart DS, and today I decided to take a look at the photos I had taken in the years prior, and I found gold. I spent over 30 minutes just looking at videos and pic tures 6-9 year old me had taken. And, after looking at a younger me being excited about getting a new stylus for my 3ds after having lost my original stylus, me taking pictures of my little sister, and me taking pictures of my parents, I felt different. Like others, I think about younger me as this dumb kid who didn’t know anything, but looking at these pictures and videos has changed my perspective on that. I find an oddly satisfying sense of happiness in looking at those old pictures, the close ups of my sister’s face, my old babysitter’s dog who had recently passed away, and even pictures of just my parents together again brought me enough joy to bring me to the brink of tears. Innocence should not be viewed as a sign of weakness, but rather as a sign of true happiness. And I have come to realize all this from revisiting my 3ds. I only wish I had taken more pictures, more videos, of those times of happiness and innocence. So, if you have made it this far in my comment, find something, anything that has old pictures or videos of you. May it be a phone, camera, photo album, or like my, your 3ds. Just know that you’ll be a little happier today if you do. :)

      MrDmoney156 The Vita should've been awesome, but developers didn't know whether to develop "handheld" games or "console" games because of less-than-stellar marketing (it's a bit more complex than that, but that's the gist). The Switch seems to be fixing that problem, and hopefully things keep going that direction.

    • @MrDmoney156
      @MrDmoney156 7 років тому +7

      Forte Cyveria I agree! Because i loved the Vita and want to see some actual good games out of it but because when the device first launched sony ONLY advertise about like two games and the device itself and that was it throughout that ONE spanning year!
      Now if you look at the Japan side of things, you see a shit TON of commercials of the Vita AND the PlayStation TV over there!
      But yet Nintendo seems to get this down perfectly in the west somehow in comparison.
      If only Sony of America took the investment, budget (and the secret weapon) *LOVE and CARE* then perhaps i would still have kept my Vita handheld to this day.

    I absolutely love the 3DS. It has such a good library of games.
    My favorite is Mario Golf: World Tour. This was an impressive and complete Mario sports package with an excellent roster of characters and my favorite DLC Nintendo has done so far.
    Other goodies included Super Smash Bros., Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Mario Party: Star Rush, and Super Mario 3D Land.
    I also got a kick out of other, less popular games, like Mario Sports Superstars and New Super Mario Bros. 2. By the way, thank you for saying NSMB2 was a good game. 😊
    I agree with you on the eShop selection. The Game Boy library was brilliant, and there were some fun exclusives, like Pokedex 3D Pro and Kirby Fighters Deluxe.
    I am happy that the Nintendo 3DS is still alive.

    I have never played my 3DS with the 3D slider down, I do occassionaly slide it down and back again to make it pop even more. I don't understand how people didn't like it so much. I have never experienced any eye pain people kept loudly complaining about but then again I'm someone who can view magic eye books immediately from any distance comfortably so my eyes are used to focusing not at the surface. I am always in awe of the 3D, I am a massive fan of 3D, it adds a whole dimension over 2D while also not being as difficult to comprehend as 4D, they chose a perfect balance.
    I'm sorry to hear, person who's eyes hurt after using the 3DS, that your childhood sucked so much you didn't have magic eye books.
