More big announcements AND Tokyo Game Show? Goddamned kids and their big fancy screens and their tiny phones. Anyway, trying something new this week that will hopefully spark discussion.
TOPIC OF THE WEEK: PS VITA VS. 3DS
- Sony's new handheld console, Vita, is arriving soon, and anticipation built with huge announcements at the Tokyo Game Show this week. With a whole bunch of big-named developers like Square Enix, Naughty Dog, and Koei onboard to release titles, it seems that the Vita proves to have a
strong launch and holiday season. But that might come with a snag or two.
The recent release of the 3DS, along with the huge uproar and price cut, has led to the conclusion that people
don't want to drop bank on handheld consoles anymore, especially in a world full of iPhones and Androids. And even when they do get it, how much will games cost along side it? That's $299 for the console, and $40 more for a game, keep in mind.
Don't forget memory cards!Shit's wicked steep.
- Nintendo had a huge press conference of its own pertaining to its new handheld. 3DS owners now have access to the 3DS
eShop, with over 1,200 titles expected by the end of this week. Also, franchises such as
Fire Emblem,
Kid Icarus are getting new titles, along with an add-on that gives the game a second analog stick. Check out a full rundown
here.
With the best yet to come for the 3DS, and the Vita coming soon, who won this time - Sony or Nintendo? Will you pick up a Vita? Will its flash and lineup be enough for you to buy it? Let the debate begin!
