Blizzard canceled their new IP.

Even Nintendo, a company often accused of not making new IPs, has made more new IPs than Blizzard.

Anyone who attacks Nintendo based on new IPs is either misinformed or biased 👆

What do you mean, here?

What new IP? Intellectual Property? I have no context for "IP."

In Gaming it means a new game that isn't part of any of their current franchises or series.

Yes, intellectual property, games that are not based in a previously existing franchise.

Actually, Nintendo has made several new IPs on Eshop, but those don't count for some arbitrary reason.

What do you guys think of the New Nintendo 3DS?

It's bullshit in my opinion. No idea why they didn't name this something different.

It also doesn't help that games for this new system is not backwards compatible with the previous 3DS.

Christ, next gen games have some ridiculous VRAM requirements on PCs. The Evil Within recommends 4 gigs and Shadow of Mordor recommends 6 gigs for Ultra. Ouch.

To be fair, games had been using like 2 gigs for like 6 years so this jump could have happened a long time ago with how much pcs have upgraded since then. Most people simply didn't due to no need

No, not really. Very few GPUs have more than 4 gigs of VRAM. Hell, the new GTX 970 is a high end card that just came out within the last week and it only has 4 gigs... So unless you're rocking a $1000+ titan your likely not getting the highest end graphics.

Well i assumed you meant just general ram. I don't know of any games that require 6 ram on the video card purely. But this me just going on like the steam pages where it recommends memory as in ram and specific video cards for video sections

Which is what I was talking about how pcs had long surpassed the requirements of most games.

You're comparing an apple factory to an orange farm.

That's retarded. I highly doubt the graphics are so badass as to require that much VRAM. If anything, it sounds as if the game's unoptimized as shit.

Yeah, hopefully it is just do to incompetence on their part.

Maybe it's just me, but nothing I've seen so far screams "Next Gen".

I don't see a substantial upgrade in graphics yet.

Games for new systems are never backwards compatible with new systems?

But in 90% of the time, it's clearly obvious its a new system.

This is just an upgrade from the previous 3DS. It's basically a faster CPU and a redesign. People are going to pick up those "new" 3DS games and not have them work on their handhelds. It's bullshit.

Again, people get confused by Wii U and Wii. But that's consoles not games, that's a kind of buying that you only do once every few years.

When it comes to games those on Wii U carry a blue/green color in their official boxes. Decorate the N3DS exclusive games properly on stores and it shouldn't be an issue.

I guess.
