Its like... objectively worse to play DS games on a 3DS than a DS. My point was that, if someone was not interested in 3DS games (which is what both of us had said), that getting a 3DS is downright silly.

I mean, the machine costs twice as much. The 3DS would have to actually improve DS games to even be considered.

On top of that, the DS itself would not be a wasted purchase, even if the buyer decided down the road that they wanted to play 3DS games, because their DS would still perform better for those DS games, and it could possibly play GBA games.

As said though, if you have an interest in the 3DS, then yeah, get a 3DS, it plays both.

Have you ever noticed that if you say the phrase "boots and pants" enough times, you start to sound like the world's worst beat boxer?

Aaaand now I have the Geico commercial in my head. Thanks.


In other news, 3 of 4 packages in today, and they were all light/small so I doubt any hate :lol:

God I wish I had more time to play Metal Slug 2 today though... forgot how much I missed it. THAT is probably my biggest nostalgia series from playing big reds back in the day.

Boccerball is awesome, if you are into dexterity pub games. Its like realtime Baggatelle with a ramp. I prefer carroms or bubble hockey though.

I LOVE carroms and had a great set as a kid - played with my dad often. I went looking for one about 18 months ago and just impossible to tell what is going to be quality, and what is going to be light plastic rings on 1/4" plywoood. If anyone knows of a good place to buy a nice set - please PM me. The ones on amazon are just impossible to tell with any certainty.

Do you want American or Indian carroms?

Indian carroms you have hundred of options, American not so much.
