The Nintendo 3DS is now three years old, at least in Japan it is. It actually turned three on the 26th but we totally forgot, sorry Nintendo 3DS we’ll make sure we remember the next time.
The Nintendo 3DS has had a traumatic life, while like anything new it was hotly anticipated just before launch and everyone was expecting a lot coming off the Nintendo DS.
Then the launch and consequential drought happened, the first 6 months of the consoles life were terrible, there was a lack of games and things just pretty much sucked as promised features were left waiting (sound familiar?).
Then came the price drop, the Ambassador program and then finally the games (and the 3DS XL). Things looked much better – despite the money Nintendo was losing. It took until late 2012 however for the console to really shine, last year saw more top quality games from Nintendo than we’ve ever seen out of them before. It was almost too much. We nearly begged them to slow down. Nearly.
Well then, here’s to 2014!
