lol yeah I've owned one XL and two new 3ds XL's (currently rocking the gray new 3ds XL, the color scheme for Real Gamer Men, not Game Bois)

but that's mostly on me because I like selling poo poo when I'm bored with it and had no idea there would be a non stop deluge of good games til even today, which is why I sold off my first two models

The prey demo is a huge turn off. The engine sucks for a shooter and the gameplay is very clearly a locked door simulator

Ill buy it for like 15-20 in 6 months after it flops harder than dishonored 2

holy poo poo yeah, it was the ugliest portable I've ever had the displeasure of owning

We made our struggling parents spent over $300 on ours when the og DS launched, gosh i should call them sometime :smith:

E: the original gba was fine, at least in comparison to all pre-backlit portables of the time

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


The original GBA not having a backlight and leading to a bunch of games being washed out and oversaturated in an attempt to compensate and people selling various flashlight peripherals that might allow you to see what the gently caress is happening on your loving screen was the most Nintendo thing ever.

It also has the better processor for games like Hyrule Warriors, and the c-stick nub, and it comes with a charger (lol)

e: also the hinge is kind of a hugely important thing if you ever wanted to take your 2DS anywhere.

I know it will probably never happen but if Sony ever came out with a Vita 2 that was backwards compatible and had L2/R2 buttons and could play PS2 games I'd preorder it no questions asked.

I get the feeling that Sony doesn't want to ever even consider handhelds again, which sucks, because what you describe would be great.

It's insane that Sony expects people to buy an entirely new PS4 to get optimal performance. It makes me glad that I stick with Nintendo, they would never try that kind of bullshit.

-tries to play the newest Pokemon on an original 3DS, the frame rate drops to low single digits during 2-on-2 battles-

I think any handheld they made in the future would have to be console hybrid now post switch and theres no way they could miniaturize a ps4 compatible at a decent price unless it was like a super lovely laptop type thing idk.

Handheld market is very enamoured with full sized gaming on the go.

Don't worry, the frame rate is poo poo in double battles on the n3DS too

The OG DS never bothered me because that was just standard handheld screen size at the time, I didn't 'upgrade' until I got a 3DS in like 2013.

This is the series typically played at the GDQs. It's horrifying, isn't it?

I believe Arika is trying to bring a remixed version of TGM3 to the west, but it's a difficult process due to dealing with both publishers in general and The Tetris Company, who really like licensing out exclusive rights to all consoles, or all mobile devices etc. to only one publisher at a time.
