>nobody at Nintendo saw anything wrong with calling it the New 3DS
no one saw anything wrong with wii u
What else are you going to call it?
>>268229517
Or the Wii for that matter.
>>268229517
>nintendo somehow didn't learn from nobody knowing the Wii U was a new console
>>268229625
They didn't learn with SNES or 3DS either.
>>268229591
Super3DSNext4U
a shittier screen? what the fuck gives?
What the fuck is going to happen at Christmas when parents are buying a 3ds for their kids?
why is nintendo so fucking retarded
>would you like a 3ds? a new 3ds? a used new 3ds? a used 3ds?
like jesus fucking christ
>>268229413
>autists always calling any naming scheme wrong no matter what
Why did no one question the GO, or the Vita?
>Nintendo realized the average consumers are retards and had to call it NEW 3DS to get the point across
>Not just calling it the Super 3ds
It seems so obvious, especially with that one design that uses the snes button colors
>>268229956
Probably because nobody talks about dead handhelds.
>>268229841
It's replacing te old models you idiots. The concept is damn simple. It's the NEW. 3DS.
How retarded must YOU be not to get it
>>268229591
Super 3DS would be fine. Nobody would misunderstand that.
>>268229980
Pretty much this. People were buying Wii U games expecting them to play on the Wii and crying when it didn't work.
>>268229956
Because the Vita isn't directly name-referencing the Playstation Portable.
The GO is arguably doing so with "Playstation Portable GO" but slapping "U" or "New" on a preexisting thing obviously isn't the smartest name decision. Same with the 3DS or the SNES to a lesser extent.
>>268230089
>>268229413
What is the image trying to show? That the top half of both devices are identical?
why the fuck couldn't they have called it the "Super Wii" instead? I would have bought one then.
>>268230267
i dont know what that webm is but i love it
>>268230089
The 3DS won't just stop existing and stop being sold
Brand new 3DS' exist
And now there's a system literally called the New 3DS
For the average parent this is a fucking nightmare.
>Hi I'd like a new 3ds please
>A new 3DS? A New 3ds, A used new 3DS? A used 3DS?
>whats the cheapest one. son just said new 3ds
>Here you go, a new 3ds
>mom I asked for a NEW 3DS
>that's what I got you timmy. A brand new 3DS
Seriously how do you not realize why this is an issue
>>268230089
>fedora so strongly attached he doesn't understand the concept of casuals not understanding things
>>268230604
>hello i would like THE new 3ds
>ok here you go
the english language is very hard
>>268229413
I don't know but I find it hilarious that people were saying there wouldn't be any other version than the original 3ds when the 3ds launched. Now there are five versions of the fucking thing.
>>268230921
>casual parents don't exist
Go ahead and try to explain to a parent that calls every console the "playbox" the difference between the the new 3ds and a new 3ds
>>268230921
stop acting like this wont be an issue. I know you like nintendo but god fucking dammit.
People had a hard time learning Wii U was an entire new console and not just a peripheral
>>268230921
>Would you like a used the new 3ds or a new the new 3ds?
>>268231208
That's because wii u was a flat out retarded name, not to say new 3ds isn't much better but at least defining it as THE new 3ds makes it somewhat easier to distinguish. People are dumb so this'll be an issue but not as bad as people make it out to be.
>>268231521
>>268231612
My son just wants a new 3ds
>that will be 150 dollars
>wow thats like 100 dollars cheaper
>thats because it's a new 3ds
>thanks
>>268231612
>"Hi I would like to purchase the new 3DS"
>Hands you an unopened box with the old model they had sitting around
"New" already means something, it's already a common prefix used to describe a product's condition.
im sick of my favorite company constantly shooting themselves in the foot
why not just call it the super 3ds
I haven't been paying attention, has the New 3DS been advertised in the west yet? They might call it "Neo 3DS" or something to avoid that problem.
>>268231760
that implies the person working at the store doesn't know what the fuck they're doing, they'd have been told what their new products are to avoid something like that
>>268229610
>wii is a bad name
>recognized by your fucking grandma
>101 millions sold
>>268231929
>Neo 3DS
that's an even worse name
you know, here's the thing
yes, nintendo is dumb
but they're not as dumb as the people that can't wrap their head around the concept
the bigger problem is what we expect of the general population than the stupid name
>>268231612
God damn, you are stupid.
>>268232052
It's just something I pulled out my ass; what I'm getting at is that they could call it something else that wouldn't cause confusion. "New 3DS" isn't a problem in Japan because "New" is in English.
>>268231962
yes and it will be a fucking nightmare having to explain this to every retarded parent that comes into our store
>WHY IS IT 100 DOLLARS MORE THAN THE OTHER ONE ARE YOU TRYING TO RIP ME OFF
>IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT WAS LAST YEARS OR THIS YEARS AS LONG AS ITS NEW
its literally going to be hell. I might actually quit my job at gamestop because there's a job fair coming up.
I've gone through one christmas working at gamestop and I don't EVER want to do it again. Nintendo is fucking retarded
>>268232079
i just really doubt that people are so stupid that they can't manage to walk into a store and buy it without being horribly confused
>>268229413
>Call console Wii-u
WHY WONT ANYONE BUY IT
>Call Console New 3DS
Will nintendo every learn. Although I guess when parents come to the stop and say GIVE ME THE NEW NINTENDO they will get some sales
>>268229625
But they did, that's why they put "New" in front of new consoles now.
>>268231965
>Wii's name was so iconic that people's brain shut down after hearing it so the U is ignored
>>268231962
It's poorly named and will cause confusion
Most people will figure it out, correct.
Some people won't, and Nintendo could have avoided it by picking a better name.
>>268232203
then you've never worked at a retail store. Last year I had a lady ask me if PS3 games work on the Wii.
I had to tell her no, and explain why. There was a huge line and I felt like the biggest fucking jackass ever.
>>268232198
you should never have started working there to begin with
>>268231962
>implying people working at the store know what you are talking about
>implying parents will know the difference
>implying the conversation between these people won't be retarded
Next you are going to imply something else that's moronic.
>>268232423
>having to explain that there are no ps3 games and since the games can't exist they won't work on anything
>>268229413
I never asked for this...
>>268232430
yes I should just take out a big ass loan to pay for my monthly expenses like every other bum
>>268229413
What do you expect, they tend to put the word new to everything.
>>268232423
retail industry is the worst, trying to work with people causes a pain few can feel
>>268229413
whats the difference in the screenshot?
No one had problems with the New iPad
>>268232423
This shit. This is my fourth year in retail and god fucking damn it I want to kill myself on a daily basis.
>Where are the 2DS games?
>Where are the 3DS XL games?
>I explain, and get a 'deer in headlights' look EVERY FUCKING TIME.
>>268232626
I try to be nice to people working in retail and fast food so I don't make their day any worse.
Who names shit at Nintendo these days? You'd think they'd learn from the Wii U not being distinguishable enough from the Wii to name is something different
>>268229413
they made the screen worse and they're showing it off?
>>268232780
You don't see it in the still, but it demonstrates how the New 3DS autoregulates the brightness of its screens
>>268232851
why compare it to the normal 3ds?
>>268229413
But that's exactly what it is.
>>268232871
But this is different.
Wii U is a separate console, the N3DS is just another version of the 3DS.
>>268232818
>they all use the same cartridge so a 3DS game will work on the 3ds xl and the 2ds
>why are there different versions of the ds then
why are you guys acting like its a brand new console. its an update to an existing system. every system has had this. its like arguing the PS2 and the PS2 slim were completely different systems.
>Nintendo slapping the word NEW on everything to make it look like they arent rehashing
What's wrong with New 3DS?
The WiiU is obvious but I don't get it this time.
>>268232851
Alright, I haven't been keeping up with this shit. What's that little gray button near the screen above the other face buttons
>>268232830
>person asks where something is during store re-design
>i dont fuckin know and neither does anyone else
>just tell them "sorry, i dont know" and leave to help someone else
>10 minutes later my boss tells me the fucker complained that i "abandoned" them without helping
People are terrible and don't deserve the kindness they get at stores.
