this forum is bad to ask if a console is worth purchasing because people will say yes to anything except maybe the xbox1 because it has the wrong kind of ram

so I've envied DS owners for years but I've never really felt like I could afford a super expensive 3DS. it has come to my attention, however, that a 2DS with Mario Kart 7 is only like $80, and all of the original pokemon games are $10 now. i'm thinking about going out and dropping some cash on a 2DS but i was wondering what games goons would say are good so i know i'll have stuff to play for the forseeable future.

i was gonna also pick up Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and possibly a Shin Megami Tensei game, cus I've heard a lot about those but never played one

goons what do you recommend? is a 2DS worth it? thanks in advance

Ok.

well i could've waited and ordered a better bundle or something but i wanted to go physically acquire a system since buying a console is a blast from the past for me. went and got the red 2DS Yo-Kai Watch bundle with a used Ocarina of Time cart. probably gonna buy Pokemon Red in a few minutes here, check out the e-store

i haven't owned a handheld since i got a GBA color in the late 90s so i'm pretty stoked here

That's true but to be fair most consoles are worthwhile if u have the budget & u don't have anything that plays equivalent stuff, plus this forum is helpful for figuring out which games are good since it seems like everyone in GAmes just likes whatever has the most advertisements.

i've never really been a console person because of the intersection between PC and current gen console libraries, but you just can't replicate the DS with emulators on a stationary PC, so its an outlier imo. though if i had infinite money i'd buy at least a PS4 for bloodborne

Ya I got an Xbox because my PC is garbage, it was way cheaper at the time & I like Halo but the PS4 definitely seems like the console to get if u wanna stay up-to-date with the generation. Like Bloodborne, Guilty Gear, Nier & Persona all seem way more interesting exclusives than the stuff coming out on the Xbox. Plus the Xbox stuff is gonna come out on PC now anyways so win/win,

so if i were to pick up a game with this bundle, what game would you guys recommend? preferably one in the ~$15-$20 range

you've got a giant library to choose from but when you've got the $$$ the zero escape series is good if you like reading

elite beat agents used/no case goes for about a dollar and every gamestop in the country has 10 copies

smtiv is good but if you get thorugh that and want more soul hackers and strange journey are both playable on 2ds

is SMT turn based or real time? the videos i've seen don't make it completely clear, the player character seems to be both beating things up in real time and doing earthbound style fights

also, i ran into a pikachu in Viridian forest, but I accidentally killed it in one hit w/my ratatata :(

Turn based but you can see sprites in the over world and can hit them to gain advantage at the beginning of the fight

The Neo Geo cost like $700 and the games were just like the arcade version. That thing would give you insane cred back in elementary school. So many people inviting themselves over to your fancy rich kid house.

the AR cards are neat, just gave those a try. i'm not really into minigames in general so i probably won't use 'em much but i like the function. its also extremely cool that you can physically move teh DS to look around in Ocarina of Time
