Hate that when I was a kid in 7th grade i didn't know that there was still 3ds' being produced cause I was distracted by the launch of the switch. Now having sold my switch last year, I originally planned to get a switch lite rn but bought a beautiful white new 3ds xl instead and I'm so excited. The 3ds' prices are going high luckily i got the new 3ds xl for around $140 so the switch can wait.

I dunno. TotK started off as dlc and cause it got so big, they just made it into its own game. I see what you’re saying (also a massive fan of Skyward Sword btw) but if that was the case, then they probably shouldn’t have marketed it as “the direct sequel to BotW”. Especially since that’s what everyone was expecting this to be. When my bro and I got the game after waiting for so many years, it just felt like a slap to the face with Nintendo redoing most of the same exact things again and making it seem like they wanted us to forget BotW even happened so that THIS version is the one to play.

I totally get your perspective throughout this video. I’m also your age, and grew up with this console-at my bedside a portal into the world of Nintendo and an escape from difficult periods in life. I look back with nostalgia at the formative experiences and good times playing through the your Marios, your Zeldas, and oh the Professor Laytons 😻🥲. I also agreed in preserving that purist, 1st party console experience; but 3 3DSs later, maybe home-brewing might be the best way to extend the precious life of this beloved console, and perhaps there is nothing wrong with that 😊 P.s. I miss streetpass immensely😸-the feeling when seeing that green light after coming home

I already have a New 2DS XL Pokeball edition since launch 2017 but I have been eyeing the New 3DS alot because of it's faceplates and overall smaller size for portability. I've been thinking of getting a Used: Good one from online shopping and getting other accessories to make it last. My New 2ds has a very sketchy hinge, most likely from usage and I'm scared it'll someday break and it overall nowadays feels cheap compared to the New 3DS.

Watching this after getting a dsi, my first ds in my life ever besides my 3ds that i was given years back that i only recently gave attention, this video hits good. I haven't played hotel dusk yet but Ghost Trick has been my favorite DS game so far. This truly is an amazing and unique handheld and i'm so glad you made videos on itself and its newer 3d brother. Really jealous of your all white one still. Keep up the great vids and cant wait for a psp video if you make one!

Hotel Dusk and it's sequel are probably the first games I truly fell head over heels for. A deep and personal story, inspired art style and the groovy jazz ost just hit me at the right moment (puzzles were a little obtuse at times though). Literally lost my shit when they announced the Another Code remakes. Let's hope that Mr. "I got myself a paperclip" gets the same treatment his older (younger?) sister did.

I'm hoping so too! Even if something gets lost in translation (like holding the DS as a book), I just want Mr "Maybe I should Buzz off" to be an HD flickering handdrawn dude on my switch :) I beat Dusk and Last Window weeks ago and yet, I still can't move onto any other game.

As someone who played last window first a few years ago (europe privileges) and went back to hotel dusk earlier this year, both of these games are so charming and have constantly been on my mind since I played them. The unique gameplay and art style plus the beautiful soundtrack and wonderful character writing have always been so so wonderful, and I really hope they (somehow despite having only one screen to work with) manage to port this series to the switch to let people into this wonderful world. I really enjoyed this video, and I hope you keep making your gaming diaries where you can, they inspired me to get back into my own 3DS this year as well :)

Great video. Glad you bowled with Louis -- he needs a friend.

The DS was the king of visual novels and VN-hybrid games, and that's coming from me, AKA: Mr. "Skipped the Visual Novel, Watched the Anime Instead." Hotel Dusk, Another Code, Ghost Trick, Ace Attorney, Trauma Center, 999, and even that weirdly good Doctor Who licensed game are some of the standouts of an already legendary handheld console.
@KurtIndovina8 ай бұрын
999 is one of the best. I was excited when it got a console port, but that's one of the examples where I think it lost a bit of the game's original intent when it was brought to consoles.
