Tons of new info on a bunch of Nintendo stuff. What are you guys most looking forward to?
Every trailer for Super Mario 3D World gets me more and more excited. Nintendo is finally starting to hit pace on the Wii U. I'm going to need a 3DS soon as well - I've got my fingers crossed for a special edition XL coming out around the same time as "A Link Between Worlds" but that prayer may go unanswered.
I really had no problem not owning Wii U, but Nintendo is making it really hard for me now that they bring title after title I'd like to play. The new Super Mario 3D World seems glorious, Smash Brothers on the 3DS just not seems the same as on the Wii U and I could easily re-play some Wind Waker in HD. Too bad I settled for a PS4 for now and I don't want to get another system. Maybe I'll get it once the price lowers a bit (although I'm not saying it's expensive right now). So long I'm sticking with the 3DS stuff and I can't deny I'm hyped for the new Zelda with its new approach and the 3DS Kirby! (Let's not forget the upcoming Pokémon, but that's a whole other story)
I enjoyed the time I spent with my WiiU, but judging by the recent Nintendo Directs I won't be regretting my decision to sell it any time soon. While it's a really nifty piece of hardware at a competitive price, I've never been that jazzed about Nintendo's first-party offerings and I likely will never be. That said, I'll be sad to miss out on Bayonetta 2.
I picked up a 3DS around launch and used it for the better part of a year. The steroscopic effect is pretty nifty and the hardware is solid enough but my issue is that I like the idea of having a portable system moreso than actually using it. I just don't find myself in situations where they're that useful. In the end I put the trade-in funds towards a GPU upgrade which has served me well.
I completely agree there. I hardly use my 3DS as a handheld console. It's more of just a regular console that happens to be handheld. I like the games on it more than the idea that I can walk around with them. Glad you at least tried it before bashing it. Most people hate blindly.
