Talk:Nintendo 3DS

Please remove the delete template. The source given clearly states that ""Nintendo 3DS"(temp) is going to be the new portable game machine to succeed the "Nintendo DS series". This is a separate thing. Uniju :D 18:24, 29 March 2010 (EDT)
 * I'm sure it's just a mistake. It's called a Nintendo 3DS, so it can't be a successor.
 * I beg to differ. It also clearly states several times that the name "Nintendo 3DS" is a temporary name that is only being used during development. And you obviously won't be able to play 3D games on the old 2D consoles. Besides, it's the only lead we have on the console, why should we assume there is a mistake in it?

 * I also forgot about all the Game Boy consoles. All right, I'll remove the tag, but you might want another oppinion before we do anything definite.
 * Nintendo made an official announcement, so I think its okay to remove the tag. Even if its not a "successor" it shouldn't be deleted. Yoshario''' [[Image:Yoshi_wearing_mario's hat.jpg|30px]]

Merge into Nintendo DS
I mean the DS lite is merged, the DSi is merged, why not the 3DS.
 * WHY DONT YOU LOOK BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING? I mean, come on! There's a discussion about this right above you!
 * Calm down Reversinator. I agree with KS3, it uses the same games, so it's still a part of the DS series. If this has its own page, then the DSi should also have it. -- 10:59, 10 April 2010 (EDT)
 * Sorry. It's just that this is about the bajillionth time KS3 has asked to merge something without either looking at previosu discussions or at the article itself.

Honestly, I don't think it's that wrong - he added a header, just a bit extra, not too bad. Besides, this classifies what the discussion on this page is about instead of having a bunch of section less talk like I see everywhere else. Anyhow, yes, if that's how we've been doing it that's how we should do it.
 * Tucky merged it so I removed the tag

I actually think that the DS, DSi and 3DS deserve their own article. Why must they be merged into one article, as the Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance have their own?


 * Looking at the Gamey Boy & Game Boy Color having seperate articles despite being not all too different besides the latter being faster and able to display more colours, I actually agree with at least the 3DS deserving its own article, as the differences here seem to be of a comparable degree to the GB/GBC differences, not to mention Mario games are being made specifically to take advantage of the system's capabilities. As evidently not everyone agrees on this, however, perhaps a proposal should be set up and this article reverted to a redirect for the time being (unless it was already made into an article as the result of a proposal, though I don't remember any)?--vellidragon 15:13, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * You know, I compared the normal DS with the Game Boy (as they are the originals), the DSi with the Game Boy Color (as they are advanced versions with own games (although there are no DSi Mario games)), and the Game boy Advance with the 3DS (as they are even more advanced versions with physical additions, and own games as well). The DS Lite and the Game Boy Pocket and Game Boy Light are just slightly enhanced versions of the originals with no special additions, as so does the DSi XL, who is just a bigger version of the normal DSi. Maybe there will come an slightly enhanced version of the 3DS, which could be compared with the GBA SP and Game Boy Micro.

REading Arend's comment, here's what I propose. Thoughts? -- 18:42, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Have Nintendo DS, info about the original, and the Lite versions will be covered here. It will also cover the stylus, and stuff like that
 * Have Nintendo DSi, which would cover DSi and DSi XL
 * Have Nintendo 3DS.

Here's my thoughts on this, and they're very simple. The Nintendo 3DS is a SUCCESSOR. It plays COMPETELY DIFFERENT games. If you think THIS should be merged with "Nintendo DS", then holy freaking crap, the Wii should be merged with GameCube because, oh my gawd, it plays Game Cube games.--TheUltimateKoopa 17:38, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Exactly, they shouldn't be merged. The 3DS plays completely different games (in 3D, duh) and Nintendo already said that "The 3DS will not just be an enhancement to the DS, it will be a completely new console." 18:24, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey both of you, look at their date of the argument. Its more than 3 months ago when nt much was known about the 3ds (in fact when it was first annoucned), so that arguement is outdated. They probably know that now.
