…I must say I'm rather impressed, the 3DS is awesome, and after playing with it for a while, I'd like to share some of the features and stuff, and stuff.
1. 3DS aint all 3D, its more then that, with games like face raider, and AR games, it shows that you can also use the 3DS to play games using the camera too, and if you've seen the AR games, their really cool.
2. Play coins: probably one of the lesser know things of the 3DS, but every 100 steps you take, you get 1 play coin, which can be used in a varity of different ways. use them to get figures in SFIV or buy more AR games.
This is Nintendo's idea of achievments, seeing as they decided not to have those, and i think their nice.
3. Friends list: Yes, nintendo finally did it! a single friend code that once added, you can play games with each other over any game, (took them a while).
4. Streetpass: A feature that lets you simply walk by and bam, data transfered. You use street pass in many different ways. street fighter 4 uses it to battle trophys and get rewards that way. Other games will do other things, but lots of possibilities
5. 3D: Its not as gimmiky as I first thought, it actually adds to gameplay, a sense of depth. (this doesnt apply to SFIV, but games like pilot wings) It can add a sense of distance, in pilot wings, it helps you navigate and not crash so much, cause you can more easily tell where something is.
6: Almost wii graphics: yep it is.
All in all its very cool, but it is missing important things
Internet browser (coming in may) and the shop channel (coming in may)
and oh yeah, better games, I love SFIV, but its the best game out of the launch...which is kinda sad.
Now for the best part, seeing what MH could do with the 3DS
1: Hunting in 3-D: with that extra sense of depth, you could probably dodge more, and have fireballs and tails swoop out of the screen! when you finish cooking meat and your character holds it in the air, so its coming out of the screen, or even when you hit the monster with an element or regular attack, and that effect pops out. So many possibilities!
2: Wii graphics: MH tri was a great game and looked great and now imagine it on the 3DS, very possible for 3DS.
3:Streetpass: Set a Cat in a slot, so when you pass by another person, you 2 cats team up, fight a monster, and come back with materials, all in seconds. Yay free parts!
4: Play coins: using thos coins you get every100 steps, you could convert them to farm points or use them to get more money, or spend on special materials or cats, many ways to reward your out and about behavior.
5: Camera control: How is that possible you say? it only has 1 anolog stick? well yeah, but, the Touch screen can very easily act as a camera(if you've played MH 358/2 days, you'd know why/ how that would work, but trust me, it does work!)
6: Portable and Online: yep, the whole MH pitch. Capcoms main reason for MH on PSP is cause its the kinda of game you can go out and hunt monsters with friends, well you can do that with 3DS of course, BUT WAIT THERES MORE, with the new Friend code, online system, capcom will be tempted (yes tempted, but not compelled) to add online capabilities too (which worked very well in SFIV).
Well i think thats it...
Have any ideas? Id like to hear them!
So yeah...I'm done now lol, very big, but ya know MH3DS could be a very good game, and could work well!
3DS Facts:
