Nintendo 3DS

[ZenErik]

Been playing story mode on DoA Dimensions. Much deeper than I thought it would be. But fights are still a bit too easy. Already cleared all of arcade mode. Online is another story. I've lost a majority of my online matches. Hard to get counters down with any lag.

I've found that the bigger problem with playing DS games on 3DS is that the colours seems rather faded. It's reallly evident after using my DSi. It's not unbearable by any means, but given the choice, I'd prefer to play DS games on a DS.

Yeah, I think I would agree with this statement too. Just slightly less nice than DS. My DSi XL had the best picture ever for the DS line, but I had to trade it towards my 3DS cause I was po'.

Are the colors faded when you use the "native" DS resolution (and smaller screen size)?

How the heck do you do that again?

No, they are not faded when you do that, though it's like looking at a postage stamp hehe. To do it, you hold down either Start or Select (can't remember which) when you launch the game.

Found out yesterday that I won a 3DS, now I will have 2!
It was a competition on the Euro Club Nintendo


I won the Toad design, cant wait for it to get here!

That is AWESOME. Wanna sell it?

I'm pretty sure it's both... unless it's one or the other and I've been holding one more down than I've had to for no reason whatsoever.

Pre-ordered Kid Icarus after all. And snagged a copy of Radiant Historia. I think I am set for quite a while! These along with BlazBlue and Lumines on the Vita should occupy most of my spring on portables. I tend to only use portables when I am not at home so the games should last a good while.

Sweet! Radiant is a long game. I think I am around 36 hours and I am nowhere near the end yet.

[ZenErik]

Awesome!

Now that I am building up a backlog I will probably only pre-order games that I want that are likely to be rare and/or have great pre-order bonuses. At least until summer.

What upcoming releases might grab my attention?

There's a Fatal Frame-ish game called Spirit Camera.

And there's also a dungeon crawler game called Heroes of Ruin.

I don't know if you'd like these games or not but they're the only good looking releases in the near future (minus Kid Icarus).

I will be adding my 3DS Code to the other thread tonight (where does one find this?)- recharged mine (had not had time to pick it up since I got it) and am ready to go.

Been loading up on titles of late - some good deals out there on Amazon. Also have Kid Icarus pre-ordered.
