Shitty launch

Why didn't it fail?

because two thirds of what you said is bullshit

Good games

people made good games and people bought good games.

it's not rocket science.

im still surprised the 3ds managed to get out of that huge shit hole they dug up for themselves at launch.

and all the games from ds

monster hunter, son

not true

It had the DS name.
It's a clever marketing strategy that strangely tanked hard for the Wii U but succeeded for the 3DS.
Maybe it was because the 3DS was relatable compaired to the DS, it followed the same working formula and added one gimmick.

are you forgetting that the 3ds had a really shitty launch? the DS name had nothing to do with it.

did you forget that nintendo had to drop the price of the 3ds only months after it was released because nobody was buying it?

It actually has worthwhile games.

It has great games, it didn't launch with great games and so they had to drop the price and rush out Mario, Mario Kart and OoT remaster to save it. A shame they didn't do the same thing with the Wii U. Its like after 2013 Nintendo has gone off the rails.

Most DS owners wouldn't be launch buyers. Enthusiasts aren't the majority market.

I watch Didyouknowgaming too, OP.

>a bunch of bullshit
>op knows its bullshit
>he says it anyway

Why didn't OP just not?

When console RPG makers jumped ship with random titles like they could in the PS2 era, they jumped right over to the DS/3DS. SMT IV anyone?

because sony wasn't competeting

spbp

Pokemon, Smash Bros, Fire Emblem.
