DS games are still being produced, Nintendo is still making copies of most of their first party titles. Downloadable versions can possibly be released eventually, but it does not seem likely any time soon. It could maybe take a little away from 3DS sales, but there is still a point to buying a 3DS, portability. The attachment would probably cost almost as much as a 3DS anyway, judging by the Game Boy Player, it would probably be a 3DS without screens or a battery that plugs into your Wii U. So any lost 3DS sale would be made up by this being sold, plus it give a reason for people with a 3DS to buy one, or a reason for people without a Wii U but a large DS collection to buy a Wii U, like me. And Nintendo would still make money in 3DS software sales. 3D would probably have to be cut from the Wii U one though, 3DTVs kinda died. --- End quote --- All good points, but with Nintendo's recent release's and announcements, do you really think they are up for taking a hit in sales? It's a bad business decision. While Nintendo are outshining both Sony and Microsoft in terms of game and console sales, Nintendo doesn't seem like the company to take a bullet for their fans. As long as Mario sells they really couldn't care less. Maybe your right though. With Super Smash Bro's coming on both the 3DS and Wii U, maybe that's a sign that they realise that people can't afford both, or that the Wii U really isn't all that desirable past the gimmick. I wouldn't imagine a cart reader being all too expensive. All you would really need is an external cart reader, powered by the Wii U via USB. The information can be sent from the cart through the USB to the Wii U. All that would require is a patch, USB cable, a cart reader, and a 3DS library. I think the most likely thing to happen would be the same thing Sony did with the PSP/PS3; remote play. Use the 3DS to power the game and use it as a controller, while watching your TV screen to play the game. If they really wanted to, they could release a Wii U tablet with a DS/3DS cart reader and play the game like that. Though as I said, while a cool idea and something I would want, I can't imagine it happening. |

With the adapter, you would need the 3DS hardware in order to run the games properly, the alternate solution is emulation, but that can cause some incompatibilities, look at the Xbox 360's BC. The GBP contains all the GBA hardware. I think some sort of Wuu tablet with a 3DS reader, or even a adapter for the 3DS to transfer video from it to the Wuu would be other alternates that would work. I think SSB on both systems is for the fans, I have wanted a portable SSB and I bet a lot of others do to, If the "Wii U really isn't all that desirable past the gimmick." that would give more reason to make it Wuu exclusive. SSBM sold NGCs and SSBB sold Wiis. I think the biggest problem with the Wuu is lack of games. Some are coming out, but there is not that many titles on it now. |
