chiefeagle02 commented on DSi and DSi XL Price Drops Announced for North...:

"They need to discontinue the DS...It's too old...the 3DS should be the main focus."

I can't wait to hear the change of tune in the comments if the DS finally outsells the PS2 worldwide, thanks to price cuts like these, becoming the best selling game system of all time. For those keeping score, the DS is only two million away from the PS2.

And with two new Pokemon games coming out reasonably soon, there's a chance it could actually happen.

So...until that time, give the DS a chance.

chiefeagle02 commented on Mario Party 2 Joins the Club Nintendo Rewards ...:

Fond memories indeed, but I may pass on Mario Party 2. Played it to death back in the day, burning me out on the entire franchise for years to come.

Art Academy could be fun (it'd be better on an XL's larger screen, but I digress). I could use it to move up from drawing stick people in Swapnote.

chiefeagle02 commented on Pinball Pulse: The Ancients Beckon:

I bought this a couple of weeks ago and I'm really enjoying it. I know Zen Pinball is coming to the North American eShop real soon, but I'm on the fence about selling my 3DS and I wanted a pinball game anyway (if I decided to keep it though, I can always transfer this game over. Everyone's a winner). The game looks gorgeous on a DSi XL's large screens and it's fun to play in short bursts. Having the one table doesn't bother me when it's a really good table (quality over quantity). The physics are awesome and the Greek motif is fun. Online leaderboards would have been cool, but it doesn't break the deal. I love playing pinball games and this has become one of my favorites (I think my all-time favorite is "True Pinball" for the PSOne/Saturn). Overall, it's the best 500 points I've spent since Tetris Party Live. :)

Is there an AC Adapter for it? In my experience, there have been Mario Kart sessions lasting longer than 2.5 hours, which is the promised battery life. Also, any word on what batteries this will take?

Other than that, it looks like a neat little machine. Kudos to Hyperkin! :)

chiefeagle02 commented on Round Table: Let’s Talk About the GameCube a...:

The big thing that stopped me from getting a GameCube near its beginning was my friend bringing a magazine to school one day, showing the Dreamcast had been slashed to $50 and most of the AAA titles were less than $15. At that time, I had a PSOne and an N64, so $50 for a "Next-Gen" console (albeit, a month or so after Sega had ended hardware support) with cheap, fun games (same friend had a Dreamcast I got to try) versus a $200 system with $50 games was an easy choice for me. I did eventually buy a 'Cube, but it wouldn't be for a couple of years later, when the price dropped to $99. I didn't keep it long though.

The Wii was the system that actually got me excited to play video games again (for a while, I didn't play video games much, justified by the notion, "I was growing up"). I remember seeing one of the first trailers for the Wii, with the person swinging the Wiimote like a Tennis racket, made me think "This looks like a lot of fun!" I did go back and play GameCube games I missed on the Wii (Wind Waker, Mario Sunshine, etc.)

chiefeagle02 commented on Talking Point: Nintendo's Plans to Fight Back:

Tell you what, I'm going to hook up my PSOne and play some Final Fantasy (got Anthology and Chronicles for my birthday last weekend and I still haven't beaten VIII or Origins). Maybe when I'm done (six Final Fantasy games and Chrono Trigger in all), there will be something for me for the 3DS.

Don't get me wrong, I like my 3DS. I still take it around when I'm at school, averaging three StreetPass hits a week. The Ambassador Program was great and I'm really excited for the GBA games to come (breaking up Final Fantasy gameplay a bit). I think my problem is I'm spoiled by tne promise of new experiences from Nintendo. The DS came out, essentially reinvented genres of gaming (particularly edutainment), and sold over 150m consoles. The Wii mainstreamed motion controls and is nearing the 90m mark. The 3DS...feels too much like the same old flame from the DS, but with 3D (that gives me a headache after 20 minutes), prettier graphics (which don't matter to me, illustrative by my new PSOne binge) and faster guts. I guess I'm still waiting for the next Brain Age or Wii Sports, games that took the hardware and hit a home run with them. Admittedly StreetPass, Face Raiders, and the AR Cards were nice in the beginning, but I'm still waiting and hoping.

chiefeagle02 commented on Review: Tetris Axis (3DS):

I was expecting at least an 8 from NintendoLife, though a 7 is still okay. Don't know if I'll buy this as I already have Tetris Party Live on my DSi XL, though I wouldn't be against getting this as a gift.
