Yep, Nintendo lastest portable gaming handheld is 10 years old already, time sure flies.
I actually had the chance to buy one when it first came out in 2011, and at least at the time it didn't felt like the console lack games, I wasn't used to buy many games anyway so a few of 3 or 4 games were more than enough.
After reading the final list of games I can agree the library is weaker than the great Nintendo DS library games but I still think the 3DS had a lot of memorable games.
My favorite games for the console are not from Nintendo though.
Frogger 3D is one of my favorite games ever from everything and the first time I played it it made me pretty happy.
Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights is other game by my favorite company Konami and it is pretty underrated, it is a hybrid adventure, puzzle, rpg game with platforming elements, it has 3D anime cutscenes, voice acting, great music and much more, I just love that game.
Castlevania Lords of Shadows Mirror of Fate was also a good game, with good platforming elements and a good gameplay, it also looks gorgeous for a 3DS game.
At the time I was a big fan of Sonic Generations and I played it all the time, it was a great game for spend the time.
So, yeah.
I feel nostalgia about the 3DS, it was a great machine that deserved more than it had.
Maybe you wonder why I didn't mention the 3D effect and is because I sincerely like the console for the games and other stuff, the 3D effect was a gimmick that even Nintendo dropped in the final years of the console.
So, congratulations to this portable console for the 10th years mark.
I certainly recommend it buying it.
-
Can we put a freeze on the clock? I'm starting to feel super old. 3DS is like a modern, newfangled gadget if I'm not mistaken. It doesn't get to be 10 years old.
I'm more of an OG DS fan, however.
-
Each day I feel like something else reminds me of how old I'm getting (I'm in my early 30s too btw lol).
I remember not being super excited about the 3DS when it came out, mostly because outside a few games I've never been big on handhelds. The first time I ever say one was at a Best Buy where I also played Dead or Alive on their demo unit. I was really impressed by the 3D effect as well as how good the graphics were coming out of a handheld. Still, it wouldn't be until Pokemon X/Y came out that I'd get one.
I've since collected and played many other 3DS games and it's certainly a legendary handheld if there ever was one.
-
Never liked the 3DS myself, its 3D gimmick was a neat novelty, you look at it for a short bit in some games, and then you immediately turn it off, because there's no reason to use it in any regular length game. I had a 2DS for a short bit because I had no need for the 3D feature, so that made it cheaper, though I did get a 3DSXL for a short bit also, hoping to like the bigger hardware, but other than playing the Zelda 64 games, abit of A Link Between Worlds, and trying to play that awful Xenoblade Chronicles port, I eventually just sold it. Think I played a couple other games, I remember that 3D Mario Land, tried to play a little Pokemon X, and maybe one or two others, but that is about it.
It's just a thing of not liking handhelds as they are not designed with comfort in mind like regular controllers are and I don't have a life where I'm out enough to warrant needing one. It's why I appreciate the Switch abit more, even if it has its own problems.
I'd love to see the Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask 3DS games ported to Switch someday, I remember those versions being generally better versions of the original game. Same for A Link Between Worlds as I never got to beat it.
-
I've only fully used the 3D feature in my 3DS once. That was when I played Kirby Triple Deluxe. Otherwise, that gimmick remained off.
Still, it's a great little portable device with some equally great titles. I finished a game on it not too long ago and I'm going through another one now. Well, the one I'm going through now is for the original DS but backwards compatibility just helps add to the 3DS' greatness.
-
Yes, we're all getting old. It's part of the contract.
Anyway, I think the 3DS is rather cool, I certainly like it, but I've yet to play any of the games I have for it—I mean, I intend to, but I'm a master procrastinator. Truth be told, though, I'm still very much into the NDS, and still play it to this day. Ironically enough, even though the main gimmick of the NDS is the touchscreen, I initially disliked it and most games that relied on it, but now I don't particularly mind using it. I doubt this will be the same, however, for the 3D gimmick of the 3DS since I've never been a fan of 3D anything.
-
Let's be honest who played with the 3d gimmick on after the first week. I don't pretty much turned off at all times.
In many ways I felt the 3ds was a downgrade compared to the ds. Inferior library and game series overall being worse than on the original ds.
3ds was also not really powerfull enough for really good looking 3d games. they should have stuck with more 2d like ds games.
It's a great console at the end of the day but I definitely saw the end of a handheld era with the 3ds I was not super impressed with the games that it brought us compared to the GBA or og ds.
The only thing that I'll say is this. it's nice to play ds games on a bigger screen on a 3ds XL. but ye using a newer piece of hardware to play older games is not a great look I'd say.
-
I'm so old.
Worth owning one for Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds, alone. So damn good.
-
10 years. Wow.
I was playing on mine not to long ago. I have to say, the DS/3DS has to be my favorite dedicated handheld.
Like others said, I kept 3D off, I tried to like it but it always messed with me. Plus I tend to hold my DS weird, so I was never in the proper viewing angle.
-

I guess I never really looked at the 3DS as a wholly new system, other than for catalog purposes, just a different hardware iteration. I always compared it to the difference between the Game Boy and the Color.
Sure it had its own games that were only usable, like on the Color, but it was still basically just a game boy (ds) with a color (3d) screen to me.
-
3DS sure was fun. StreetPass was an awesome feature. Mario Kart 7 and New Leaf were great games I spent hundreds of hours with and still go back to.
Pretty much everyone I knew had one (or two or even three) at some point so it was the first time I was really part of an active console cycle after missing out on stuff like PSP which was really popular in my neighborhood and 360. They all own a Switch now but Switch doesn't have anything like StreetPass to bring people together like 3DS did.
-
Heck yeah, I remember walking everywhere with my 3DS in a pocket just for Streetpass
-
Street pass was kinda fun but in ds era days you could literally play mario kart ds with random strangers that pass by. almost anyone had a ds console back in the day
Those where crazy times.
3ds kinda had that but a mere fraction of it. Pretty much Mobile phones only now :P
-
During the prime time of the 3DS's life, I would travel by plane 6-8 times a year. I absolutely loved spending my entire layover time walking across every terminal to connect to the airports' Nintendo Zones for easy access to StreetPass counts. Just at Chicago-Midway alone, there were five or six individual spots. In an hour's layover, I could rack up over 100 StreetPasses. I haven't checked StreetPass in a while, but I believe I connected to users from all but one U.S. state while also having crossed paths with players from a few dozen different countries too.

I haven't played a mainline Pokemon game since Gold for the GBC. There are a number of reasons why, but mainly it's just that I had lost complete interest in the Pokemon franchise after that game. When you're 10-11 years old, you want to be perceived as being cool and old and mature and Pokemon seemed like "baby games" to me by that age, even though I spent the two previous years thinking that Pokemon R/B/Y and the TV show were the coolest things in the world, lol.
Anyways, I'm a bit older now and I don't think twice about what anyone else thinks is cool or not anymore, as one should by a certain age.
This means I'm now interested in checking out a newer iteration of Pokemon for the 3DS. From what little I've read so far, folks seem evenly divided on what is considered better, X/Y or Sun/Moon. My natural inclination is to just play the newest ones, either UltraMoon or UltraSun, but does anyone wanna give their two cents on the matter? Again, I haven't played any of the games since Gold, I have no idea what newer features that have been introduced into the series since then, if anyone feels like going into depth.

While every generation of pokemon has it's fans. in general gen 7 was considered to have the better games than X & Y. if you have to choose between X & Y or gen 7 get ultra sun or ultra moon or even the base games.
I wouldn't recommend X & Y at all these are considered to be some of the most bare bone pokemon games that gamefreak has ever made, these games are pretty poor the only things that where good about these games where the pokemon designs. The start of 3D came at a heavy price. There is little to do after beating the main game and the journey overall is pretty lackluster.
gen 7 also has allot of issues though and to many cut scenes but it's allot better than X & Y. Base sun & moon have the better story, ultra games shafted the story but are more fun content and gameplay wise
Still if where talking 3ds I'd recommend Alpha sapphire or omega ruby over any of the above games. These are also modern pokemon games but they actually have decent content. These where the only good pokemon games that where released in the past 8 years for my taste
I'd personally recommend games from the gen 3 to 5 era of pokemon since those included the most fun games in the series but if you really want to try modern pokemon I'd say alpha sapphire or omega ruby with any of the gen 7 games as your 2nd option. But I wouldn't recommend X & Y at all. Not all pokemon games where equal.

I picked up a New 3DS XL around 6 months ago when they were cheap . I really haven't played anything on it yet . I've mostly just been trying to pick up as much for it as possible before prices get too high . Lots of interesting games to play on it if you count DS games too .
-
One thing I loved about when I first got a regular 3DS XL was going back and basically replaying all of my favorite DS games. The upgrade in screen size and picture quality is a wonderful thing to behold, so much so that there's probably no going back to using my first model DS ever again.

The old DS's and DS Lite's were the best way to play single player GBA games . Still worth keeping for that purpose .
Spawn Wave just put up an interesting video today about buying into the 3DS in 2021 .

The honor of the best way to play single player GBA games belongs to the Game Boy Player. ;)
But you are absolutely correct that the best way to play your GBA games in portable form would be with the DS/DS Lite. At the time, playing GBA games on that amazingly bright and truly backlit DS screen with the built-in stereo speakers was kinda like going from watching your favorite VHS movies on DVD for the first time.
To play all GB/GBC/GBA games in portable form, the second model of the GBA SP with the much better screen is as good of a device as you'll get that isn't the Analogue Pocket.
-
My kids all have 3DS or 2DS systems. Lot's of fun for them.... not so fun for me. Even during PSP and the start of the PSV, handheld gaming was far less enjoyable for me than console gaming. I still have and love my Game Gear but even it doesn't get played much. The way the PSV was treated marked the last time I bought a handheld for myself.
The kids have all enjoyed their 3DS/2DS systems though. They all have Mario Kart which is great for long drives. New Super Mario 2 was a hit. Then they enjoyed random games as well. I recently got my youngest the Ninja Turtles Master Splinter combo cart. He loved it.

I have to disagree on this one. The GBA-SP 101 model has it beat. It's not as large or clunky as a DS, and it's screen is fantastic and bright.
I've found that DS screens frankly suck in the sunlight. While the GBA-SP does great in it.
Now the sound, yeah, can't argue that.
But as you said, Game Boy Player is hands down the best way to play GBA. You don't have to weigh the pros or cons like you do DS vs GBA, it's just better in every way.

even an ags 101 sucks in bright sun light. I have multiple ags 101 devices and if where talking at the correct conditions you could literally use a normal gba sp with pretty much the same results. it really isn't that amazing it's only slightly better under brighter conditions than the average sp. even the most modern nintendo devices on the brightest setting suck in bright sunlight while they drain that battery ultra fast aswell. playing handheld games you'd usually rather do in the evening or indoors in wich it kinda defeats the purpose of having a better backlit sure there is a difference but it's not much, for my taste anyway all handheld devices just suck to play outside.
also what ds where you using classic or ds lite? fairly sure the ds lite and other newer ds models like dsi had the better backlit the original was allot less bright not to mention having less options in terms of brightness. in bright sunlight a ds lite would give the exact same results as a gba sp 101.
Pretty comparable to the ags 101 I'd even argue the exact same for a fraction of the cost pretty much no difference at all. the price alone is a reason why you get a ds lite instead of an ags 101. and if you really wanted to have a handheld with a good feel you wouldn't go for an og ags 101 anyway. you would get the classic gameboy advance and give that an backlit screen mod in wich you get the excellent backlit plus it being the most comfortable in them hands.
Modded handheld devices are pricy as hell though. I'm always shocked how much people are willing to spend on modded handheld devices even the game gear or especially the lynx wich don't really have amazing games if I'm being honest.
also if where talking playing games on the ds instead of using the original ds stereo speakers get a cable and connect them to a set of actual speakers, gave me a fresh experience on a ton of games pretty great to play them games on some actual good quality speakers. You can't play ds games on a gameboy player after all handheld exclusive sadly.

I guess that I play more in shadow than direct sunlight . For handhelds , I still prefer the DS Lite over the SP 101 for GBA games . An SP with IPS mod wins hands down , but that's not really fair to put into the equation . I did the IPS mod to one of my 001's and it's glorious . Someday I plan on putting an IPS in one of my regular GBA's , that would be the total package .

I picked up Chibi Robo Zip Lash recently for 5 bucks new at Wal-Mart.
Reading the Wikipedia page for it, the game is made out to be like it's the most god awful thing to have ever happened on Earth. Whoever authored the page clearly had some personal vendetta against it LOL.
The game is totally sweet!!! I think it's a blast to play and the visual/audio presentation is incredibly charming. I had no problems getting the hang of the rope mechanics and controls. The level spin wheel is... an interesting design choice, but it's not anything to hamper down my enjoyment of the game.
I did a Twitter search of the title to see what others have had to say about it, and I was a bit surprised to see how often this game is used as like a punchline for something being terrible and disappointing, i.e. "still not as bad as Chibi Robo Zip Lash". What a bunch of killjoys man!!!
Is there anybody else here who is at least a little bit more sympathetic towards this charming side-scrolling platformer like I am?
-
Answering to @chexmixbreath
I havent played it yet but I thought it looked charming, anyway I dont care what twitter says, after all that place is full of questionable and toxic people, and sincerely Nintendo fans in that place and Youtube are also most of the time pretty unlikeable people, anyway I think the game has also bad reputation because some of these generic youtubers hated it so, you could guess what happened.
I will play it someday, it will maybe wont be great, but I am sure it will be at least a decent platformer
-
I think all the hate is likely from the scott the woz video on it.

The thing is the games prior to it where really creative and fun. especially the og gamecube version. it was an experience that was different it's what made chibi robo.
It's definitely not a terrible game however we have tons of 2D side scrollers the competition is fierce. zip lash doesn't do anything exceptional it's outclassed by so many other alternatives on the system and from past consoles. It's more why would you pick this title up instead of your other options mario donkey kong kirby etc etc.
Not a bad game but it's a total waste that they ditched the og chibi robo concept. At least the ds games especially clean sweep wich was japan only where pretty decent followups with the og vision in mind.
I personally think it's a shame a decent platformer doesn't replace the og gameplay of chibi robo.
-

Believe it or not, I actually pre-ordered Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash. And, believe it or not, I enjoyed my time playing it too. Zip Lash never set out to be the greatest platformer, and it maintains at doing a fine job at keeping players engaged. Was it ultimately the best direction to take the series? No, it wasn't.
As a fan of the entire series, I wanted to support Skip Ltd. in hopes of them creating more future titles within the series. Or, if that truly wasn't possible, for them to pursue new and creative endeavors that the team could explore.
I think all the hate is likely from the scott the woz video on it.
Zip Lash has received plenty of negative reception since it released over five years ago. Scott the Woz may have helped fuel the sensation since he's first voiced opinions about the game roughly 18 months post-release, but the reception certainly does not originate from Scott.

They never gave the series a shot bad advertisement, one game being a wallmart exclusive and the best sequel entry never even leaving Japan.
I agree that it was never supposed to be the greatest platformer. but when you launch on a system that has plenty of quality ones people will compare it to those titles. There is no reason for most consumers to pick zip lash over the other far superior alternatives. it isn't that suprising that the reviews will be mixed as a result.
Still clean sweep on ds was the final chibi robo game in wich they still had developers from the OG. Nobody of the OG chibi robo series was left when they made zip lash for 3ds. Entirely new team. The OG vision of chibi robo might never return again.
-
I guess that makes sense. I never played any of the other Chibi-Robo games before so I don't have the shadow of the past games hanging over me. Had the game been released as a stand-alone title without the Chibi-Robo tie-in, maybe it would have been better received. I feel like the game does stand on its own though and doesn't need to be compared to Mario, DK, Kirby, etc.
This reminds me of another game that was widely panned for similar reasons back in the day, Alundra 2 for the PS1. There isn't much wrong with the game itself, and I personally love it and recommend the game whenever I can. But nearly every review I've read laments that it has little to do with the first Alundra and tries to compare the two games against one another. And then it summarizes by saying "not a bad game, but slapping the Alundra name on it is why I score it a 4/10"...
Oh, and I forgot to let you know sworddude that I appreciated the well thought out reply earlier in this thread about the later gen Pokemon games. I ended up buying a copy of Pokemon Ultra Sun based on your recommendations, though it might be a while until I get around to playing it... I have a few other RPGs that I'm currently in the middle of...

Alundra 2 is pretty good but while enjoyable it doesn't compare to alundra 1. I would not give it a low score just because it isn't as amazing as the first entry though it's still solid i would give it a 7. I don't really see it as an alundra game Just as another rpg it's quite different.
Alundra 1 is however one of my favourite ps1 games it's a master piece. I'd rather play alundra than a link to the past if I'm being honest. I can see the dissapointment of fans of the first entry.
Still though I've actually heard that alundra 2 back in the day had better reviews than alundra 1. Probably because it was in 3D wich was pretty hot at the time. but that's europe could be a different scenario than the USA if true at all I've heard so from other collectors so take that with a grain of salt.
When the time comes I hope you enjoy your playthrough with ultra sun.

I remember trying a demo of the 3DS at Fry’s...and immediately stopped because the 3D effect was giving me a headache.
I never actually bought a 3DS or 2DS. There hasn’t been any absolute must-have games to buy one for. I mean, there are a few I’d like to have, but most of those are so flippin’ expensive there’s no point. It’s insane how much GBA/DS/3DS games go for now.

Are you buying them brand new or what?

except for some niche rpg's 3ds is really cheap atm and to be fair most of those never got cheap always close to msrp at the very least if where talking about those rpg's

My mistake, I lumped 3DS in with DS. And lately it seems all the DS games I want happen to be the super-expensive ones (Dragon Quest, Pokémon, stuff I only recently discovered like Dark Spire and Fighting Fantasy). DS games are holding their value very well considering they’re not that old.

ah yes was also kinda shocked how high dragonquest ds game prices got even the bad stuff such as dragonquest IX.
Pokemon is on a different lvl though it's just insane how high those prices got I didn't expect that much of an increase after the pokemon go hype guess I was wrong. cardboard releases even surpassing value cib of actual grails on other consoles Makes zero sense at all
zelda and mario never got anywhere close with them common games :o
Supply and demand pokemon just has a ton of fans. Audience for other retro games are just allot smaller. If the audience is that big you can even make common games have insane value.
