3DS XL: Worth the Upgrade?

Yesterday was the North American launch for Nintendo’s latest handheld, the 3DS XL. I’ve long been on the fence about the device, I just couldn’t decide whether or not the XL was worthy enough to justify the upgrade. However, I gave into temptation, headed to my local game store, and brought home a sleek red 3DS XL, and now that I’ve spent some serious time with the device, I can happily say that 3DS XL is a fantastic piece of gaming hardware. This is the definitive Nintendo 3DS, and it improves upon the original in almost every way.

Douchebags. Nintendo knew what they we're doing.

2010: "Oh we were gonna have a November launch, but its to early! We need more time :) Gotta set those launch games, and make'em sparkly!"

"$250? We're not arrogant at all! Now go buy another mario game muhaha!"

"Friend codes n region locks for all!"

2011: "hey. yeah you. We're cuttin 80 bucks off. U mad bro? Oh. Well here's 20 games! What do you mean they're old???"

2012: hey. Remember when we said the 3D screen was to expensive to make bigger? We lied. Introducing the 3DS XL!!!"

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5070d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905070d ago (Edited 5070d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5071d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5071d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495070d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5070d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5070d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
