So, long story short, since I live in the town where the Nintendo’s US headquarters are located (and Microsoft for that matter…) and I have connections I got my hands on a 3DS. :3
I know it’s not a HUGE deal since it’s been out in Japan for a while BUT nonetheless I was still having nerdgasms since last night andddd I kinda want to brag a bit. >< I know the deal; "pictures or it didn't happen", so I'll post pictures when i get home with another review if you guys want it. :p Peace - ozymandis P.S. I actually already posted pictures on our twitter and facebook fanpage so if you wanna see 'em RIGHT NOW links are in the side bar ----->
HA, I GOT MINE!!!!! SSFIV and SMB and SWC are great!!!!!!!!!! XD
Wow either this site has nothing better to post or worse. Ozy. There really nothing to brag about a game where millions of other people get even if you got better price. To bad that. Ds won’t get you a gf or a better life. So please do us a favor and get over yourself :D. Sincerly,turtwig
$250 for a handheld with $40 games?
No thanks.
Not to mention my best friend is incapable of seeing 3D since he only has one eye.
Addendum:
1998: Gameboy ($60) + Pokemon [red/blue] ($30) = $90 to play a pokemon game.
2011: 3DS ($250) + Pokemon3DS ($40) = $290 to play a pokemon game.
($90 of 1998-money = $117.90 of 2009-money, adjust for inflation. from: http://www.westegg.com/inflation/infl.cgi )
Alls I’m sayin’ is that, personally, I probably won’t be able to afford video games anymore unless I’m given them as gifts from now on. Well, it was an interesting waste of time while it lasted!
But if you buy a system for one game, you must have lots of money.
Keep in mind gaming is a relative inexpensive hobby compared to things such as sports.
Yes. Because each additional $40 spent on another game makes everything cheaper. What?
3DS + 2 games = $330. $330 > $290.
And yes. I really don’t play video games outside of pokemon because I really don’t find any other games all that interesting. I’m not talking about crap-pokemon games either like Ranger or Dungeon, just the core titles. It’s really the only reason why I’ve been playing video games since ’98.
I mean, sure I have/had other video games but I lost interest in them pretty quick. And when HGSS came out at $40/pop, I did what I never did before: traded in games for store credit so I could buy Heart Gold. I think I only paid for $20 of it in cash – and part of that trade-in was getting rid of Brawl.
Sports? Football/Hockey probably. Frisbee Golf? A $15 frisbee followed by maybe $10 in plastic safety ribbon to tie around trees to act as targets. Done.
Let’s not forget that the original gameboy had about 35 hours of battery life off of 4 AA batteries. I’m sure there’ll be a model of 3DS that’ll come out with a longer battery life. And, dependent on price, I’ll probably pick that one up.
I’m not saying you should buy one immediately. You can better wait for it to become cheaper and then you can pickup games cheap on Amazon,
What I was saying is when you buy a 250$ system en five $40 games, you pay 90$ on average to play more than 30 hours, sometimes even 200. And we all know frisbee isn’t something you devote your life to.
Looks like there’s a limit as to how many replies there can be on any given post/topic.
I hope video games isn’t something someone devotes their whole life to.. o_o
Somehow I think we’re both agreeing, but coming at the issue of video-game pricing from different angles.
And sadly, keeping on topic of Pokemon games, I put in about 60 hours or so on my copy of Black and I’m bored with it, now. I beat the game and there’s nothing to do anymore until the Dream World opens up and I can spend 1 hour a day on it (a sardonic “yay” for that). My previous games all have over 100 hours on them, easily.
Well, I have some fun with random battles and once the Global Link opens ranked battles. But you need to have a fully bred and ev’d team. Even then you get punched in the face by some uberpowerful Japanese guy.
But other than that there isn’t much to do, except shiny hunting.
So >1000$ for a phone with 1$ crap games is a better choice?
….what are you talking about?
The 3DS is a +$1,000 phone? That’s news to me. I figured some Virtual-download-games would be cheap, of course…
I was talking about the iPhone, which costs 750 € in mainland Europe
Apples-to-Oranges. I’m not talking about an iPhone, only Nintendo products. I wouldn’t compare iPhone to 3DS any more than I would compare a Nook/Kindle to it.
I really like my 3ds… i just dont understand why i have to wait for a new update to download ds apps and to go online…
I know! I feel like the fact they limited the play coins to 10 really says they don’t want us to have much to do day 1.
BTW, pay no mind to the reviews for Super Monkey Ball 3D, because it is a good game with a bunch of options and a menu set up but yes the main game is a tad short. Monkey Fight and Race require skill which is great. Because it’s hard to get 1st against those evil cpus.
i checked the support.nintendo.com for the 3ds updates and it said there is another update scheduled in late may for the shop ds, internet etc… -__-
Hello to any/all Pokejungle staff or helpful members that see this: I have a big question!
I was on Serebii’s forums and people were talking about how Pokemon’s natures can now change with your trainer card nature. If you look on page 13 of their “B/W Glitches Discussion” thread, there are a few people talking about it, and they say it’s in the official guidebook, which I do not have access to for confirmation. I looked around the web, but the only place I see this mentioned is that one thread…
I can’t find any accurate info about this! Nothing from game data, no scans of the guide to look at… Can you guys find out some info? I know that I don’t want to spend all of my time looking for the perfect nature, just to have it suddenly change on me. On the other hand, being able to change a bad nature would be really useful. I just want to know some solid facts on which Pokemon this effects, if it’s in any way optional, and so on.
Thanks in advance for anything helpful!
<3 R.A.
That’s not real in any way, shape, or form. :/
Thanks! 😀 I was pretty worried for a while there… :'<
Pokemon.com’s put up a new Breakout-style minigame. You have to be signed into your Trainer Club account to play, because upon beating all 4 levels, you get a Dream World Eeveelution! Which one you get is based off of how you play. I got Espeon! YES!
Lucky!
