Should you buy a 3DS or not?
Total votes: 450

Maybe. I seem to be playing handhelds a lot more often, but I m definitely going to wait for a price drop and more games to come out. The only game that I m REALLY interested in is Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor Overclocked. Just not enough good games yet to make it a buy.
So I got the 3DS a few weeks ago and OOT. At first, the 3D effect at the higher settings made me cry, but I got used to it eventually. I still want to turn the device to use OOT's tilt aim, which of course ruins the 3D and makes you see double. Which is a pity, because aiming arrows is so much easier in 3D.
It gets me thinking, Pokédex 3D has faaar too much value invested in the quality of the models to be a stand-alone project. I think we may see a Colosseum or PBR style game sometime down the road on the 3DS using these models. (I doubt the main lineage of RPGs would abandon their sprite art any time soon since they would have done it already if they were going to.)

Have you tried aiming on a stool or other chair with wheels? It's possible to maintain the 3D effect with some skill by turning your entire body instead of the console.mm201 wrote:

Yeah, I turn my head when I look around in OOT. It was natural to me from the start and it didn't even come to mind that I would Not turn my head with the 3DS. And then when a friend tried to moved the 3DS around but didn't move his head, I lol'd at him 
It's more an issue when I'm reclining and don't have the range of motions needed.Jarby wrote:

3D is annoying anyway, whenever I've played it for an extended amount of time I had to turn it off because it makes my eyes feel a tiny bit funny and you lose it every 2 seconds.
Also the second analogue stick peripheral is the most pathetic thing I ever did see.

I love my 3DS but again, wait for a couple months. The 3D is fantastic for me actually, I never have gotten a headache and I actually use it a lot when playing Ocarina. (I tried it without the 3D once and it felt like I was missing a heck of a lot) So if you're like me and immune to the negative effects of 3D then get one, otherwise...eh....
OOT has a funny bug where the "eye distance" spontaneously shrinks, causing a loss of 3D. (It's very obvious when you play Zelda's Lullaby on the way into Zora's Domain and it does that zoom-out thing.)
I guess this is a result of porting over an originally monoscopic game to 3D. They made this happen instead of impacting one of the cameras with a wall.

I do a similar thing with Starfox. The real problem for me is that during intense situations, I don't always sit still and will move my head to one side or another and need to dedicate some mental effort into re-aligning myself with the screen.Mianki wrote:

I always keep the 3D on maximum though, it doesn't negatively affect me and I enjoy the aesthetic of it.
most definitely not, I'd rather get a smart phone which does everything on top of playing games
I prefer buying a Bamboo Tablet rather than a 3DS. I want to try out RE:Mercenaries 3 though.
Mercenaries 3D is pretty darn cool.
Up to stage 5 missions, can't defeat the Boss monster within the time limit, though D: D: D:

Yes, and it's not to combat used game sales.mm201 wrote:

On the other hand, an unopened copy of the game will probably be worth like a hundred bucks in ten years. Unless the game sucks, or emulation catches up.
They already have devices that you can completely zero the save flash of a 3DS card. I couldn't see used game stores not having these. Individual players, on the other hand... ಠ_ಠ
The game is pretty darn awesome, at least, IMO. If you've ever played Mercenaries from Resident Evil 4/5, it's pretty much that, with Missions and perks, the like. It's got a peculiar arcadey feel, where you build up chains of kills in order to increse your score and earn a passing rank.awp wrote:

The online multiplayer is pretty cool, too.
Of course, KH3D will come out only for this console and this is my favourite game series.
NDS Adaptor Plus is a nifty little tool that does it.mm201 wrote:

It can read/copy and rewrite the flash memory of NDS and 3DS Game Cards.

Just be sure to get a Japanese 3ds when RF comes out. You can be sure it wont come out in Europe or America for a long, loooooong time.

I am also want to buy a japanese 3DS, but it means I will MUST buy all of my future 3DS game from Japan. -_-
Is that really such a problem though? All the best games are from japan
I don't care. I know how to read and write in japanese, but I don't understand at all. But if I playing games with japanese language, I will able to understand it, but it takes some time. And I am already have KH Re:Coded from japan.Azure_Kyte wrote:

Portable games, yes. Also the Final Mix versions of the KH games are JP ONRY as well, so I always have to pirate the buggers. The downside to that is missing out on the English voice cast in games where the English voice actors are better than the JP voice actors. The DS didn't really have this problem because WHAT VOICE ACTING? but eh, 3DS...I mean, imagine playing Disgaea or Starfox in Japanese. That'd be annoying as shit.Azure_Kyte wrote:

If you listen Donald with english voice, it isn't better. This is not a real problem. I like listen Donald with japanese voice, 'couse it is really funny.
If the game is voice active and the origin is japan, I want to hear on that language. I dunno what's your problem with the japanese language...Shauni, awp is probably one of the last people I'd expect to have an issue with japanese dubbing as a whole, just saying.
I agree with you awp about the DS; having on average ~128MB to make a fully featured game is a little bit of a challenge. I was satisfied when Disgaea DS had the intro voice acted.... It really does depend on who does the dubbing for whom, but at the same time, I don't think there's really been a game I haven't been able to play due to a bad voice actor.

in my opinion, some games that had many English elements won't be as good as English voice on JP voice. . .(like Disney), and most RPG from Japanese and got Japanese elements is better in JP voice, like suikoden tierkreis. . .(their english voice is bad imo) . . .awp wrote:

Some games, yes, but if we speak on KH, japanese and english voice is equal, I think. And the Disney is popular in Japan, so it must to have japanese voice, and they are use that voice, so it is the best, and more suitable choice. So, in the end, both language is good and listenable.Index-San wrote:

Cave Story 3D trailer!
Cave Story 3D looks nice, but I've played the game so many times. It'd be nice as a downloaded title though. Maybe if it has more content in it I'll be more eager for it, but that was a really good game
Holy fuck that looks amazing.
After seeing that, I may just put that on my gamefly queue. However I'm still really pissed at Nicalis(?) for Cave Story Wii.
I never got around to playing Cave Story so I'm definitely getting this.
No 3DS, but if I had one...
I bought it the first day and now the price is $169.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- D:<
But being the Cave Story fan that I am (starting with the good ol' original), I couldn't say no.

Well, I was playing with Cave Story, but I still not like it. A bit boring for me.

I read about that. All it does is simulate a standard 3DS cart being inserted. It's only good for piracy. 
...which shows what a huge waste of time all of Nintendo's security is. They claim they're preventing piracy with it, but piracy is the easiest thing to accomplish in such a system, since you don't actually need to defeat any security. The only thing they prevented is legitimate homebrew.

Wasn't sure which thread to post this in, but it looks like a good chunk of the TWEWY cast is cameo-ing in the 3DS Kingdom Hearts, not just Neku. Also, Tron Legacy.
Thought about it for the OoT bundle but ehh...I have a Zune HD now which is good enough for my portable media needs. Even has decent graphic in its games.
That OoT 3DS sure looked nice though.

On the other hand, no 3DS.
This might be the first KH game I've actually been really looking forward to since 2. They haven't had the same kind of impact on me since KH2 and it's getting harder and harder to follow along with it but I'm actually kind of eager for this one. Possibly just the TWEWY bias kicking in, though.
Gonna have to marathon the other six games prior to its release so I remember everything. Actually, Re:Coded was largely inconsequential to anything, so just the first five.

I got my 3DS after the Price drop and i love it.
Ok I admit there are millions of crappy games but it is like the wii.
The stuff Nindendo does is cool and the stuff from nameless third party developers are crap.
The starting line up was pretty lame and after that there was this remake time but i look forward.
I recommand the 3DS to all people with internet access lol and Mario Kart fans :3
