Splatoon's gyro controls are the best. Although they probably wouldn't work very well with the 3DS.

They used to call me tricky-kid, I lived the life they wish they did.


I hate the gyro controls on 3ds. I first got mine while I commuting by train 3.5 hours a day. Gyro's always hosed up my aim in OoT and Luigis' Mansion 2.

It's a cool idea, but bouncing around on a train was loving up my aim. I don't think there was an option to turn it off. Unless it exists in the 3ds settings and not in the game.

Gyro controls ironically work best when you're at home, much like the mic, but unlike the mic I'm glad the 3DS has gyro

Is that appendage between his stick legs supposed to be his box penis? I don't remember Boxboy having a dingus, although he is allegedly a boy.

That amiibo really needs to come with extra boxes that magnetically attach to Boxboy.

No that's Sokoban, Box Boy is a platformer where you are a box that poops out more boxes

The central gimmick for the new game looks to be lil BoxBoys that need to be escorted through the levels.

Still trudging my way through BoxBoy. It really does take me back to playing games on my Ti-83+.

I had Doom and C&C on mine. Both were about as playable as you could expect. The Mario game owned though.

fuckin' young punks and your TI-83's... I was an OG with a TI-82. I wrote a pretty sweet minesweeper game on it.

It baffles me that those loving things still cost the same price they did in 1995, by the early 2000s I had a TI emulator on a PDA that cost less than they did
