[ENG/ESP] Nintendo 3DS - A Underrated Console
<h2><center>

<div class="text-justify">It was the year 2010, the Nintendo Ds had been a complete beast in sales during its life time, and Nintendo was ready to announce its successor, a console which we could say that it had been studying for several years.

When Nintendo launched the Virtual Boy, that console similar to a viewer that was one of the pioneers in 3D video games, its success was quite doubtful, and it was left as a failed experiment perhaps too far ahead of its time, however this was not it kept Nintendo away from further research on 3D games; I clarify, not games with graphics where the characters are 3D modeled, but the visual effect that makes you believe that the elements will come off the screen, as in the cinema.

The next attempt as such would be with the GameCube, but only Luigi's Mansion was compatible with this technology, and at that time a 3D TV was not as common as it is today, so it was never implemented.

In the following years Nintendo would do several experiments in favor of the use of 3D technology, which as such came to nothing, but which gave rise to the console that we know today as 3DS.





As I said, the obvious successor of the DS, with the function of having stereoscopic 3D without the need for special glasses as a commercial flag, apart from backward compatibility with the entire Nintendo Ds and DsiWare catalog (Except for games like Guitar Hero: On Tour, which requires the use of the slot for GameBoy games).

As I said, the obvious successor of the DS, with the function of having stereoscopic 3D without the need for special glasses as a commercial flag, apart from backward compatibility with the entire Nintendo Ds and DsiWare catalog (Except for games like Guitar Hero: On Tour , which requires the use of the GameBoy slot for games).






However, its beginning was somewhat bumpy, the main reasons would be its high launch price that was around $250, and its limited catalog of games (without taking into account those of its predecessor), despite this it sold in an acceptable way during its first weeks and then fell into the crisis that I mention, there even came a time when the DS continued to sell more due to its accessibility, low price and huge catalog.

Because of this, Nintendo announced a drastic reduction in the price of the console, apart from compensating those who paid full price with free NES and GBA games as downloadable content.

Regarding their catalog, it was in 2011 when they began to launch games that would boost sales, such as Mario Kart 7 or The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.

That this beginning does not determine your opinion of the console, because it does not really represent the rest of its trajectory, despite the fact that this year sales have been reduced, when we go to its catalog this does not matter at all.

As the years went by, different studios fully exploited the capacity of the console numerous times, in some cases very early in the console's life cycle, which is impressive, the perfect example is Resident Evil Revelations, which is visually appealing. considering that we are talking about a game on a Nintendo laptop.

<center><img src="https://cdn02.nintendo-europe.com/media/images/10_share_images/games_15/nintendo_3ds_25/H2x1_3DS_SuperMarioMakerForNintendo3DS_image1280w.jpg" alt="">

And that's the strength of the 3DS, as it has all the power that the original DS lacked, yet still managed to shine in its own way, without the need to demonstrate ray-traced graphics or 4K resolutions.

Other games such as Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Detective Pikachu, or the already mentioned Ocarina of Time 3D, are examples of this.

And that we only talk about the games that are visually better taken care of on the console, but the truth is that in its catalog there are also many good titles that have been released until not long ago, the most recent example that comes to mind is Persona Q2 : New Labyrinth Cinema, the crossover between Persona 3, Persona 4 and Persona 5, with gameplay of an Etrian Odyssey.

Especially at the RPG level is where companies have excelled, because apart from having several Mario & Luigi games, which are known to be exceptional, Shin Megami Tensei IV and Apocalypse, Bravely Default, Pokémon Sun-Moon/UltraSun-UltraMoon are also available; Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, and many more, examples abound.

There is also a lot of presence of Nintendo's own franchises: Super Mario Maker, 3D Land, various Kirby titles, Metroid Samus Returns (and the Metroid game that nobody dares to talk about), A Link Between Worlds, and last but not least least important, the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, which I have been playing and I can tell you is ART.

Not to mention Super Smash Bros, who would say that a console with those capabilities would be capable of hosting a full-fledged Smash delivery, and that despite the portability it plays very well, the controls are responsive and precise, as long as the buttons are not out of use.

The 3DS also became a Monster Hunter machine, as it has several titles in this franchise, and it is simply beautiful to appreciate how the console is able to withstand all those colossal monsters, sweating the fat drop on a graphical level, but still resist honorably.

Even today it is common to get second-hand consoles in good condition at an even more accessible price, if to all the above we add the possibility of playing with friends online, and the possibility of playing retro titles from the virtual console, Buying a 3DS in 2020 is a very good investment.

As I have mentioned time and again, I had the opportunity to procure a 3DS XL recently, and I can assure you that you will have hundreds of hours ahead of you to enjoy games of the genre you seek, from shooting to puzzles, and loads of good visual novels. quality like Ace Attorney or Zero Escape, where the full collection is available (considering backward compatibility).

Without much else to add, this is where today's post ends, as always thank you very much for reading to the end.

<div class="text-justify">Corría el año 2010, la Nintendo Ds había sido una completa fiera en ventas durante su tiempo de vida, y Nintendo ya estaba listo para anunciar a su sucesora, una consola la cual podríamos decir que se venía estudiando desde hace varios años.

Cuando Nintendo lanzó al mercado la Virtual Boy, aquella consola similar a un visor que fue de las pioneras en enseñar videojuegos en 3D, su éxito fue bastante dudoso, y quedó como un experimento fallido tal vez demasiado adelantado a su época, sin embargo esto no alejó a Nintendo de seguir investigando sobre juegos en 3 dimensiones; aclaro, no juegos con gráficos donde los personajes sean modelados 3D, sino el efecto visual que hace creer que los elementos se saldrán de la pantalla, como en el cine.

<center><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/Virtual-Boy-wController.jpg/1200px-Virtual-Boy-wController.jpg" alt="">
[Wikipedia](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivo:Virtual-Boy-wController.jpg)</center>


Su siguiente intento como tal sería con la GameCube, pero solo Luigi's Mansion era compatible con esta tecnología, y por aquel entonces un televisor 3D no era tan común como hoy en día, por lo cual nunca se implementó.

En los años siguientes Nintendo haría varios experimentos en pro del uso de la tecnología 3D, los cuales como tal no llegaron a nada, pero que dieron lugar a la consola que hoy conocemos como 3DS.





Como ya dije, la sucesora evidente de la DS, con la función de poseer 3D estereoscópico sin necesidad de lentes especiales como bandera comercial, aparte de retrocompatibilidad con todo el catálogo de Nintendo Ds y DsiWare (A excepción de juegos como Guitar Hero: On Tour, que requiere el uso del slot para juegos de GameBoy).

<center><img src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/a5e1477a73117eabca55fb3d124b67c1/tumblr_mm4tfkVf5S1rfjowdo1_500.gif" alt="">
[WiffleGif](https://wifflegif.com/tags/320239-3ds-gifs?page=2)</center>

Sin embargo, su inicio fue un tanto accidentado, las razones principales serían su elevado precio de lanzamiento que rondaba los 250$, y su escaso catálogo de juegos (sin tener en cuenta los de su antecesora), a pesar de esto vendió de forma aceptable durante sus primeras semanas para luego caer en la crisis que les menciono, incluso llegó un momento en el cual la DS seguía vendiendo más debido a su accesibilidad, bajo precio e inmenso catálogo.

A causa de esto, Nintendo anunció una reducción drástica en el precio de la consola, aparte que compensaría aquellos quienes pagaron el precio completo con juegos gratuitos de NES y GBA como contenido descargable.

Respecto a su catálogo, fue en el 2011 cuando empezaron a lanzar juegos que potenciarían las ventas, como Mario Kart 7 o The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.

<center><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/FsCM2mSg/tumblr-piticvzf-Oq1r7sijxo2-500.gif" alt="">
[Vandal](https://vandal.elespanol.com/foro/mensaje/962824/tabuberna-haz-una-declaracion-tabu-y-te-vas/5450)</center>

Que este inicio no determine su opinión de la consola, pues realmente no representa el resto de su trayectoria, a pesar de que este año las ventas se han reducido, cuando nos vamos a su catálogo esto no  importa en absoluto.

Conforme pasaron los años diferentes estudios explotaron al máximo la capacidad de la consola numerosas veces, en algunos casos al muy al inicio del ciclo de vida de la consola, lo cual es impresionante, el ejemplo perfecto es Resident Evil Revelations, el cual es visualmente atractivo teniendo en cuenta que hablamos de un juego de una portátil de Nintendo.

<center><img src="https://cdn02.nintendo-europe.com/media/images/10_share_images/games_15/nintendo_3ds_25/H2x1_3DS_SuperMarioMakerForNintendo3DS_image1280w.jpg" alt="">

Y ese es el punto fuerte de la 3DS, pues posee toda la potencia que la DS original no tenía, y que aún así logró brillar a su propio modo, sin la necesidad de demostrar gráficos con ray-tracing o resoluciones en 4K.

Otros ejemplos como Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, Detective Pikachu, o el ya mencionado Ocarina of Time 3D, son muestra de esto.

Y eso que solo hablamos de los juegos visualmente mejor cuidados de la consola, pero la verdad es que en su catálogo también hay muchísimos buenos títulos que han sido lanzados hasta no hace mucho, el ejemplo más reciente que me viene a la mente es Persona Q2: New Labyrinth Cinema, el crossover entre Persona 3, Persona 4 y Persona 5, con gameplay de un Etrian Odyssey.

También hay mucha presencia de franquicias propias de Nintendo: Super Mario Maker, 3D Land, varios títulos de Kirby, Metroid Samus Returns (y el juego de Metroid del que nadie se atreve e a hablar), A Link Between Worlds, y por último pero no menos importante, el remake de The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, el cual he estado jugando y puedo decirles que es ARTE.

Sin mencionar Super Smash Bros, quién diría que una consola con esas capacidades sería capaz de albergar una entrega de Smash hecha y derecha, y que a pesar de la portabilidad se juega muy bien, los controles son responsivos y precisos, siempre y cuando los botones no estén pasados de uso.

La 3DS también se convirtió en una máquina de Monster Hunter, pues posee varios títulos de esta franquicia, y es simplemente hermoso apreciar como la consola es capaz de soportar a todos esos monstruos colosales, sudando la gota gorda a nivel gráfico, pero que aún así resiste de forma honorable.

[Nintendo](https://www.nintendo.es/Juegos/Nintendo-3DS/Metroid-Samus-Returns-1234232.html)</center>

Incluso hoy día es común conseguir consolas de segunda mano en buen estado a un precio aún más accesible, si a todo lo dicho anteriormente agregamos la posibilidad de jugar con amigos de forma online, y la posibilidad también de jugar títulos retro de la consola virtual, comprar un 3DS en 2020 es una muy buena inversión.

Como ya he mencionado una que otra vez, tuve la oportunidad de procurarme un 3DS XL recientemente, y puedo asegurarles que tendrán cientos de horas por delante para disfrutar de juegos del género que busquen, desde disparos hasta puzles, y montones de novelas visuales de buena calidad como Ace Attorney o Zero Escape, donde está disponible la colección completa (teniendo en cuenta la retrocompatibilidad).
