I'm one of those people who STILL have the classic CTR-001 model of the Nintendo 3DS, and other than the system erroring out and having to restart once or twice while playing this, I honestly had no issue with it. I don't really stress having a game a 60 FPS (unless it's an online game or a shooter,) so not having the newest hardware isn't to big of a deal for me. The thing is though, this version of the game on the original 3DS is on-par with the PSVita version, and would be a better version to play for nomadic players (I don't know about you, but I don't want to haul my Xbox, PlayStation, Wii U, or PC around with me on my back, and I did that before in highschool for game club.) I guess what I'm trying to say is that this version is great on the original 3DS despite what they say in this review. This review is also outdated, in that now you hve 6 character slots and 6 world slots to play with (which is good, considering I introduced a 9 year old to the game and she got so hooked she started swiping my 3DS for days at a time on vacation to play the game.)
The downer to this version on the original 3DS, though, is that the control scheme will offer more challenges. Only having one analog can kill, and it gets worse if your hand cramps while battling the Wall of Flesh before Hardmode. Other than that, great version, if you don't mind people thinking your a little slower and don't really use the 3D feature (this game doesn't display in 3D, and even then, 3D kills your systems battery faster!!)
