OptOut

I would only use it a little bit tbh. Most games didn't really make good use of it, so I didn't bother at all for a lot of them. Even for the especially good looking 3D games, like Zelda, Luigi's Mansion, 3D land etc. I'd maybe turn the 3D on every now and then, but I'd quickly turn it off after appreciating it for a little bit. The main problem for me with it is ghosting, finding the best viewing angle, and that the 3D effect sort of seems to diminish over time as you get used to looking at it. I would feel quite fatigued by looking at it if I ever tried to keep it on constantly. But, glad some people really could enjoy it properly tho!

As you know, I'm not into RPG's or anything slow paced, I almost exclusively play the twitchy stuff! Also, my original launch style 3DS hasn't worn out, but each of my later 3DS XL and NEW 3DS XL have had certain issues or another crop up over time, so I have bought a second NEW 3DS XL already.

Yeah, the 2DS is compatible with all DS games. However, there is a distinction between the 2DS and the NEW 2DS. The former won't work with the limited handful of NEW 3DS exclusive games. And, dude, have some class. Zelda edition all the way!

Not enough dinosaurs. 9/10

Normal person: Man, finally I can truly see how many Sealed Mario 64's VGA have graded! Tyler:

You had access to the full libraries of every console ever made, and THIS was in your top picks to search for? You are a special breed, Tyler!

I agree with a lot of the points here, the fact is the 3DS has a banging library (especially with the DS backwards compatibility), doesn't emulate well, and it has arguably the most attractive form-factor of any handheld. It's way more compact than modern handhelds like the Switch, and with the clamshell design you don't even need a case for them, just shove it in your pocket! Another thing that hasn't been mentioned yet, however, is the fact that they wear out over time. If you use your 3DS a lot, the circle pads get worn, the shoulder buttons go fucky, and many of the 3DS colors have paint which chips off over time. I'd imagine a lot of hardcore 3DS fans aware of these issues will have at least one or two spares ready for when they want to swap out their main unit, so there will basically always be demand for fresh systems even from people who already have one.

My backlog is playing Banjo Kazooie again!

My distaste for the Playstation is a personal preference thing, based on feelings rather than rationale. I can fully accept there are great games and experiences on the system that I would enjoy, but never will, and I'm okay with that. Actually, it's helpful to have such a large swathe of gaming taken off the table, as it helps me focus my collecting and playing on the systems I prefer. But, I would never judge someone else for their preferences, just as I don't really mind what people think of mine!

No. Most 360 games are on PS3.

For me it's basically everything on any Playstation system ever, and I'm totally fine with that tbh.

@Splain ALERT! Continuing with the theme of DMA games, I decided to go back and replay one of the all-time N64 greats, Space Station Silicon Valley! Such a fantastic, fun, funny and inventive game! Absolutely deserves to belong in EVERY N64 gamer's collection, without doubt!

Nah, I think you're missing the wood for the trees with this one. Where's the GOO?! Plus, I wanna be fed like a baby bird by one of these guys: The WALL-E robots are too cute, they don't do it for me!

I just wanna live in goo, getting fed/jerked off by a robot. Is that a crime?!

I'm PRETTY sure they've got a metal tube for that too dude... I think one of the ones that attaches in one of your upper-vertebrae!
