Ichijou Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'm talking about how when the Wii U launched, lots of casual's / people who are not into gaming really had no idea what the Wii U was. Didn't know if it was a new DS because of the controller, or if it was another version of the Wii, or whatever. You think it'll be fun explaining this to parents? "Hi, do you sell 2DS games?" "Actually, the 2DS is a 3DS. So it plays 3DS and DS games, but it can't play 3DS games in 3D." People are going to be confsued. It sounds simple to you and I, but to the parents buying this thing for their little kids. It's going to be a nightmare. The concept itself isn't a bad idea. It's just the name and the way they market things is confusing to the average person that doesn't follow this stuff. This is exactly what I was thinking, while it's not a bad idea for young kids who might break the hinge on the normal 3DS, or as a cheaper way to play Pokemon X/Y, non-gamers aren't going to understand that 2DS plays 3DS games.

MikeyBoy44 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I dunno I think it's kinda cool. Kinda reminds me of my game gear days. That said though I'd definitely look into something like this for my 4 yr old. I just hope they focused on the durable part. He isn't friendly with electronics yet. He goes through game controllers as fast as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyBoy44 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Now why did Nintendo have to go and do that? I was perfectly fine with my current 3ds. Jerks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bob Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Now why did Nintendo have to go and do that? I was perfectly fine with my current 3ds. Jerks! You don't need one. It's no better than the 3DS. You have young children correct ? It would be good for them. It's basically just a 3DS that can't display in 3D saving a younger crowds eyes. Does it still street pass ? If so.... there's the streetpass tags you aren't getting in small town Edit: Are you talking 2DS or Pokemon 3DS ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RO8!! Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I got AC:New Leaf on the weekend and just received my building permit today. Enjoying the game so far can't wait until my town fills out a little more. Also looking forward to the new pokemon game, love the 3rd person view.

g_bassi13 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I'm so obsessed with fire emblem awakening. It may be the single greatest game I have ever played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm so obsessed with fire emblem awakening. It may be the single greatest game I have ever played. Awakening was brilliant. I don't think I've ever played a game that made me think so hard... I'd spend 10 minutes sometimes before even making a move, things got so intense near the end. Definitely gets my nod as the best 3DS game released so far, although my expectations are very high for Pokemon X&Y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyrocks Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Anyone going to be picking up the Scribblenauts DC Unmasked game this week? Looks great if your into comics, includes over 2000 or something super heroes. Different versions of Batman and even Fall Off Arm Boy. Who isn’t excited to see him.

There are other good tactical turn based strategy games out there, but it's probably my favourite on that front. It's not even the only game with permanent death either, but I don't think there's another game where I want to make sure my characters survive as much as I do with this one.

RO8!! Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Just got Awakening today, only started but really enjoying it so far. I've always been a big rpg guy so it is strange this is my first Fire Emblem game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPCanucksFan Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I'm finally going to get a 3DS, and it's gonna be this one: http://www.ebgames.ca/3ds/consoles/nintendo-3ds-xl-gold-and-black-with-the-legend-of-zelda-a-link-between-worlds/318076?loc=bestsellers_row2_col1 I missed out on that Special Edition Ocarina of Time 3DS, and I really regret not getting it, so I'm picking this one up for sure!

Stark Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 My gameboy SP broke. Should I buy a DS for 80 bucks to play ds and gb games, or should I buy a 3ds? How good are the new pokemon games for 3DS? I really only want a DS to play my pokemon emerald and other games. If you're going to buy a used DS, 80 bucks is pretty expensive. I've seen them going for $60-70. I would personally upgrade to the 3DS, I really enjoyed the new Pokemon games. It's a huge change and they did pretty well with it for the most part, even if I had high expectations for it haha. You can also buy the 2DS, it's cheaper but doesn't fold. I never use the 3D function on my 3DS because it makes me dizzy, and the 3D effects for a lot of games suck. If you miss your old games, you could always find some roms and download a good emulator like Desmume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Anybody got A Link Between Worlds yet? I'm thinking I'll wait until I'm done finals, but I'm really excited to play this game. A Link to the Past was my favourite Zelda game and I'm really liking what I've seen from the previews of ALBW so far. Mario Party: Island Tour also came out today, I'm considering getting that one soon too, if only so I can play minigames with my friends and have some sort of mindless fun available on the 3DS.

I got the limited edition 3DS that came with it, though it isn't the Zelda game I've been playing. I had to buy OoT 3D, I was fiending to get it ever since it came out, but I missed out on the last Zelda LE 3DS so when I heard this one was coming out, I jumped on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be sad to say goodbye to the one I bought on launch day, but I am sure it'll find a good home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_bassi13 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Currently playing Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward. The game itself is fairly messed up and dark, but as a game it makes for an intriguing play. A choose your own adventure come puzzle game, where the choices you make can get yourself and others killed, as you try and escape this weird prison. I'm really liking it.
