Re: Nintendo Power Magazine Will End With December Issue

Intrepid

Simply terrible. Nintendo Power is the only magazine I care about, and I enjoyed devouring the magazine immediately and then taking my time with it over the month. They also had exclusive information and interviews, and you really felt like you knew the editors personally.

If I have any left over subscription, I'll just write it off as lost instead of recieving one of these other magazines. All the other game magazines do is adore the PS3 and Xbox 360, and barely discuss Nintendo. That may have changed with the WiiU hype, but as a general rule it's like that.

Re: Out Now: 3DS XL Goes Big in North America

Intrepid

The 3DSXL still poses a few problems that prevent me from buying it. For one, there aren't that many colors to choose from. I like a different shade of blue than the one I saw, and there is no black. There also is an issue of battery life. It's better than before, but not where it should be. I purchased the Nyko extended battery pack for my 3DS, and the battery life for it is amazing. The 3DSXL's battery is nowhere near. The third issue is that when the 3DSXL is closed, it is going to leave lines along the top screen just like the regular 3DS.

It would be pretty cool to replay my 3DS games on this though, especially Zelda OoT. Imaging playing with the 3D slider set to max while playing it on this.
