Nintendo 3DS thoughts

April 30th 2011 09:44
So I've had the 3DS for a few weeks now and I figured I'd jot my thoughts down for prosperity. I love it, that pretty much sums it up. I had become ever so cynical with any new Nintendo release, mainly because I'm one of those saps who owned about 6 different incarnations of the GameBoy. I hadn't played my DS for probably close to a year, because frankly the iPhone had taken over as my handheld gaming device of choice. I landed a 3DS when my partner bought me one as a surprise (lucky me). I was dubious and then wowed.


I think the 3DS is a true advancement on the DSi, unlike the previous re-release DS consoles. The 3D is great and I've suffered no ill-effects others have sparsely reported. Of the games I would same Super MonkeyBall displays the most impress 3D gameplay, though there are better games in the gaming sense. LEGO Star Wars is fantastic, but I would vere well away from it based purely on the ridiculous save function, or rather lack there of! Playing for 40 minutes one night I had to load another thing on there and lost the entire 40 minutes because it doesn't autosave until you have cleared an ENTIRE world, therefore if you're a crazy ass collector of EVERYTHING like me, you literally can't do anything else on your 3DS until you've finished a level because there's no manual save function. Stupid!

Of the other games I got with the device, Ridge Racer is great, Asphalt 3D pretty good, though out of the two I would go for the previous title. Ghost Recon 3D is really great, but only if you like RTS titles. Pro Evo is impressive, given it's on a handheld and the 3D actually works well. The Sims 3 is a bit meh, but great for Sims fans. Raving Rabbids is a good platformer, but not really a 'Rabbids' game in the true sense. Finally Pilot Wings is really good, enjoying that a lot.


So what game am I playing the most on my new 3DS.... Animal Crossing Wild World. Yes, having a new DS made me dust off Animal Crossing, sure it took me an entire day to weed, but what the hell it's a great game and it's keeping me busy until the 3D Animal Crossing gets a release date.

What are you playing on your 3DS?
