Hey folks, got a poll for you!
So while it doesn't have the most games in the Other Systems section, it is still my belief that the 3DS portion of this site is growing quite quickly. I'm curious as to whether you guys think we should create a new 3DS section for the site before there are way too many games in the Other Systems section, or whether we should wait.
Your vote is for "Should the 3DS have its own section on the Spriters Resource, or should we wait?"
Vote now!
7-0 within an hour seems like it was definitely enough to justify just going ahead with adding the category. A suggestion on the site was to make a DS/3DS section instead though. I personally like having them separate since it highlights the new content well but I'd like to hear other opinions as well.
I also agree with having them separated, considering they are different consoles. I'm not a fan of combining stuff like that - I'm still not totally happy with this being the case on the other Resource sites.
I think we should do it on hype alone. It'll pique peoples' interest when they see it. Plus, the content will catch up very quickly. Go for it.
I, too, think we should make a 3DS section, seeing as how 3DS rips are growing daily.
I say Create both a DS and 3DS Section. Especially since 3DS is growing rapidly.
Thinking might as well add another section. Considering that Smash Bros. is almost out and 3DS rips are enough to cause more traffic (hope tSR doesn't go down as a result), also if the momentum keeps up such as Mario & Luigi or any other high profile game the Other Systems section is going to look crowded quickly.
While the 3DS doesn't have as many 2D games than the DS or older handhelds, there are some games that are either completely sprited or have at least some elements such as backgrounds, also a possibility(?) of eShop titles to be ripped in the future such as the Mighty Switch Force series, the Sega Arcade ports and other 2D titles.
Similar thing to the Textures and the Models Resource too considering the above and many of the well known 3DS games are in 3D such as Super Mario 3D Land, Ocarina of Time 3D, Pilotwings Resort, Star Fox 64 3D, Bravely Default, Pokemon X & Y, etc.
