Right? The promise of future games sounds like money burning a hole in your pocket. Buy something you want to play now, not in the future. :wink:
It IS money burning a hole in my pocket. I've had over $200 for a while now, and I'm itching to spend it. And no, I am not making donations, so don't ask!

Ok then it is settled. SF IV 3d it is!

It is the same Psp, DS takes up most of my handheld gaming. NGPC covers the fighter library just fine. Don't worry, I sold it to my dad :lol: so I can still play Motorstorm and Street Fighter alpha 3 :)

Anyway, enjoy your flame red 3DS you know you're gonna buy real soon. Replace burning money with flame red. Seems appropriate. :wink:

I think I might pick up a 3DS next week for my birthday. Probably will get Ocarina of Time as well.

OK I played a demo 3DS this weekend and I have to say that I hated it, sorry guys. The 3D effect did not work at all for me, maybe it was the angle that I was forced to play at. I also did not like the slider joystick.

The 3D effect has a small sweet spot. If you are slightly off, it won't look right. Just by playing a game normally, your head or the 3DS itself will probably move very slightly, and it will break the 3D.

Also, even if you have everything positioned perfectly, you might need to adjust the 3D volume slider. It may be set too high. Also, some games have better 3D than others.

Long story short, the 3D sucks and it's best set to OFF.

I've played a display model 3DS several times, and the 3D sweet spot isn't as small as you say. It's not like you can't move your head or the system at all or it doesn't work. And if you really have to hold it at an angle that breaks the 3D, you can always just turn the slider to "off."
