Timing couldn't be more perfect. Going on a 5-hour road trip to the OBX this Saturday. I think I know what my brother and I'll be doing in the car-ride up.
I say the system just needs some good games. Right now the whole library sucks. I bought a 3DS yesterday--GameStop had a great deal. But I didn't buy any games. Just eShop points. What good retail games are there? I have faith Ninty can make the system great, but first they'll need games.
Angry Birds isn't even a good game--I've played and just don't see what all the fuss is about. But anyway, he's just being a troll--no one really gives a crap what he says,
This is literally half the reason I want a 3DS. The GBC was my first system ever and I can't wait to relieve the glory days with titles like Super Mario Land (which was ironically my first GBC game), Link's Awakening of course, Donkey Kong Land, Kirby's Block Ball, etc, etc.
I've only spent about 20 minutes with the game--it seems great. I think a lot of people are just too stuck in the past to actually play a more cinematic Metroid game.
I'd rather they just let the DS die out. It's lived it's life--trying to balance two portable systems is going to get weird, especially given the technical gaps between the two.
The sad thing is, I can see E3 2011 now. Reggie gets up there--"And NOW. Prepare for a NEW era of gaming. Wii Seasonal will put the power of seasons in YOUR hands. With exciting games like Easter Egg Hunt and Carve The Pumpkin, your Wii console will NEVER be the same."
But I loved this article. Even though I didn't grow up in the NES era, I did grow up in the cartridge period. I was always getting my hands on my cousin's SNES and N64, and my own precious GBC. I especially love the part about no internet--so true.
This looks awesome on many levels. Love the scene with Phoenix and Mia. Phoenix is all like, "I don't trust this guy," and Mia's like, "DANG this is a good sandwich."
Oh good grief no. The campaign is fun (even if the on-foot missions are sub-par), the split screen mode is fantastic, and to say this is the worst in series is crazy as Adventures is absolutely terrible.

I haven't spent a cent on any 3DS games yet. I have spent $20 on the eShop VC though. Nostalgia is good.
Re: 3DS Second Circle Pad Formally Announced
It looks poorly made to be honest. But for that low a price? Guess I can give it a shot.

Re: Angry Birds Dev Calls Nintendo Games "$49 Pieces of Plastic"

Re: Nintendo Likely to Retain Price Control in 3DS eShop

HA!
Re: Why the 3DS Will Not Use an Achievement System
Or they could just throw it in because some people like them.

Re: North America Gets In On WiiWare Demo Action Next Week
Awesome! Been wanting to try all those games--except ThruSpace, haven't heard much about it. But I guess that's what demos are for.
Re: Reggie Wonders Where Metroid: Other M Sales Went Wrong
I've only spent about 20 minutes with the game--it seems great. I think a lot of people are just too stuck in the past to actually play a more cinematic Metroid game.
Re: DS to Have Life After 3DS, says Nintendo
I'd rather they just let the DS die out. It's lived it's life--trying to balance two portable systems is going to get weird, especially given the technical gaps between the two.
Re: 3DS Shopping Channel Details and First Video Emerge
The GB VC alone is almost worth the $250.

Re: Drool at this Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Trailer

Sweet, hopefully it'll be cheaper than the WiiWare release.
