if not for a couple great pokemons and fire emblem awakening id probably regret having ever bought the 3ds
(i just remembered that they made a sequel to FE:A which i bought 1/3 of and I'm shuddering)

im still not 100% in love with the switch but its a considerable step up just by being able to port actual good games to it even if I've already played them for cheaper years ago

Fire Emblem Conquest owns a lot.

Also Picross 3D 2 alone makes the console worth owning.

Nintendo really made a whole lot of new people interested in video games with the DS and Wii who promptly decided phone games were good enough

Sometimes I'm amazed how much cheap phone and tablet games get right that Nintendo whiffs, despite their lack of polish. Mainly ease of menus and lack of required reading

There's a huge library of DS and 3DS games that I'm sure I can play for years to come. Hell there are some actual games I own that I've barely touched.

Admittedly it'd be nice if I could've waited 3 years or whatever for Nintendo to get their poo poo together and I could only purchase 1 console rather than...5 I've purchased throughout its lifespan. But hey, that's just how Nintendo rolls.

This was the 3DS launch line-up in the US:

It also had the entire ds library so it wasn't that dire to buy one, or at least I tell myself that to justify spending however much on it with my high school job money

Ngl still played it up until like a month or 2 ago when the r button broke, def worth it eventually

I have a gaggle of 7 nieces and nephews, aged 6 - 12. If I showed up at Christmas with a labo and said "hey guys let's put this together" would that be suicide? Is there a way to make it by dividing up jobs and have everyone work on it or do you need to do one step at a time in order?

All that plus they have been tepidly signalling they wanted to put all their eggs in the Switch basket since day 1. Now that's an absolute.

One step at a time in order.

Theoretically if you had all the instructions you could hand them out but there's no way to do that

They're gonna watch you build it, just like my nephew who wanted to play with a robot arm but only had a collection of pieces of a robot arm

I don't think that was much of a consideration for most people since they were probably coming from the DS to the 3DS; it's why I didn't pick up a 3DS until way after launch.

Click on them in your party. It's on the little pop up menu where you can check their summary and stuff.

They have to be in your party also

Eh, there's maybe ten super solid phone games out of an oversaturated, multi-lingual market of thousands. It's all still pretty relative.

Didn't the 3DS also have a horrible set of launch games? And I remember confusion when they called it a launch window or something to make it sound like more stuff was releasing earlier, like Kid Icarus and Mario Kart 7.

Yeah there was nothing worth playing on release, it was a really sparse launch.

Everyone forgets the DS had a pretty rough launch too, iirc it took the DS Lite for it to really pick up. At first Nintendo wasn't fully committed and considered it a 'third pillar' to the GBA and Wii.

All the crappy games my kid plays on his Kindle like anything from toca Boca all end up being a lot more intuitive and easy for him to figure out than his DS games.

The 3Ds also had a huge dry spell when Nintendo figured out that the WiiU was failing and moved all their resources to it.

That’s right when I bought into the 3ds and it sucked

Well they definitely made the bosses not instantly die to 4 players this time (unless you opt to set Whispy on fire again, in which case never mind.) And got rid of a ton of blind spots that were in some of their attacks before.

The better Sonic games tell their stories through short cutscenes with no dialogue which make for fun and entertaining framing devices to drive the gameplay forward so the plot does nothing but add to the experience

It's mostly just mediocre fanfic tier (basically starring various OCs) with bad voice acting.
