Unless it has a really short lifespan, it'll be the best Nintendo handheld ever at this rate. It is already better than the Gamecube, N64, and Wii. It'll need a LOT of years like 2013 for it to compete with the SNES, of course.

The Wii U will eventually develop a powerful software lineup, but for the moment the Nintendo 3DS is easily the most fun I've had with a single device in a long time. I hope the system gets at least one more 3D Mario title before it is replaced.

So, this is HM without marriage or pages of bs dialogue to scroll through from a million different characters, right? I'm in. I'll get a more fully-featured HM again at some point, but right now I just want to expand my crops and buy more animals.

Between this and Starship Damrey this is going to be an expensIve week for me, eshop-wise...

I don't understand the appeal of tablets. They're big and bulky, so they don't have the convenience and comfort element of a good smartphone. Netbooks are infinitely more useful if you need a smallish computer that is bigger than a phone. They're certainly no replacement for portable gaming devices or proper laptops/desktops. I don't understand why people seem to think they're so convenient...

Ralizah commented on Fresh Pokémon X And Y Details Emerge: New Pok...:

@warnerdan Red/Blue the best? No. They're barebones compared to almost every other set of Pokemon games, and especially the more recent ones. People (including myself) tend to love those games because they were a part of our childhood, and we're nostalgic about them. Just hearing the music evokes warm feelings in me. Would someone without that prior experience enjoy them nearly as much?

Puzzle Quest, much? Well, if it can strike the brilliant balance between casual and hardcore gameplay that PQ did then I'm in.

The generic title and seeming similarity to a much beloved game of mine worry me, though.

Ralizah commented on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies ...:

I will say this: anyone not buying the game because of some childish reaction to it being digital only has no right whatsoever to complain if it doesn't sell very well and Capcom decides not to release other Japanese games in the West either.

Of course, it isn't ideal, but at least we're getting it. Maybe if it sells well we can finally get Investigations 2 as a digital download on the eshop!

Ralizah commented on Review: SpeedX 3D Hyper Edition (3DS eShop):

Good price. Might pick this up someday. I bought it for my smartphone years ago and enjoyed it. Tilt controls worked well on the smartphone, but the 3DS is too awkward to adequately use them. Glad you control movement with the circle pad.

@TourianTourist It's not too bad until winter comes as long as you can find a durable food source (I usually locate my base camp next to a bunch of rabbit warrens) and some basic protection. Then, winter. THAT is brutal.

This is all assuming you can find the materials to make a fire by nightfall. God help you if you don't...

@SkywardLink98 Ah, no, the Wii U and 3DS are quite different. Of course I don't mind the game coming to 3DS, but I do feel, control AND graphics-wise, that the Wii U and Vita touch-screens would be more fitting.

If it is workable and high quality, I'll certainly support a 3DS release, of course.

Ralizah commented on Tomodachi Collection: New Life Features Same-S...:

@TrueWiiMaster Why? It doesn't force you to gay marry your characters. I can understand not wanting to play as a gay character if that sort of thing offends you, but isn't it close-minded to shun it entirely because it does have that option for people who do want to play gay characters?

Ralizah commented on Tomodachi Collection: New Life Features Same-S...:

Hopefully the patch adds the gay marriage option for women. I like the direction Nintendo is going with this. Now I really want it to be released in the West!
@Joshers744 This is a Nintendo themed site, and Tomodachi Collection is a Nintendo game in Japan. The gay marriage feature, AND the weird exclusion of it for women, is admittedly very odd, so it makes sense to make an article about it. If the subject offends you so much, why even click on the article?

Ralizah commented on CNN Money: Nintendo Is "Tone Deaf" To Industry...:

It strikes me how often I see big media "tech writers" getting facts wrong when writing about handheld consoles. Granted "eStore" isn't quite as bad as "DS3" or some others I've seen, but the lack of credibility is striking to me.

Ralizah commented on CNN Money: Nintendo Is "Tone Deaf" To Industry...:

I love how many of these "tech writers" and "industry analysts" are shills for Apple. They won't be happy until real handheld gaming is dead and every good franchise has become a microtransaction-ridden endless runner on the iPhone.

Mario, Zelda, Pokemon... these are classically Nintendo properties, and I'd rather never see a game in any of these series again then watch Nintendo whore itself out to Apple.
