|Start》》| 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. |
