Gaming Boulevard.com's video review of the new 2DS system
Castlevania’s twilight years were some of its best, but they were not enough to avert the dramatic end of the series as we knew and loved it.
Someone should fire to the lowest pit the guy on Konami that thought mobile gaming was the future and destroyed MGS, Castlevania and other franchises in the way.
Dan Rizzo says "So this is where we’re at with Nintendo and their continuous colloquy of tedious arguments against emulation. It’s funny how a company that’s so against open-source emulation, uses it to sell commercial products such as the NES and SNES Classic Mini, but release a minimal quantity to drum-up all the hype behind it, only to leave a majority of its fanbase disappointed when struggling to acquire the now collector’s piece."
someone made a good point that older music, movies, and books are far more easier to get access to than games. I think the industry needs to make a change. It's crazy that so much is gone now and I'm willing to pay for the games, but there's literally no way to get them now.
I can't speak to music as I don't collect it, and books are still quite accessible through paperbacks & hardcover releases. But movies & tv shows are starting to have a problem with accessibility now, with all these streaming-exclusives. Before everything would get a DVD or Blu-ray release, but now if content is pulled from a streamer, like happened with some HBO Max stuff recently, there's often no physical disc option or even a digital download through a service like iTunes. They're just lost media, same as delisted digital-only games.
As of late March 2023, it will no longer be possible to make purchases in Nintendo eShop for the Wii U system and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. It will also no longer be possible to download free content, including game demos.
No surprise, but a sad day for gaming with hundreds of exclusive titles to be lost forever
it's sad that no one is actually outraged by that piece of news ut it's even worse to Sony because Nintendo acknowledges that going forward they would only release classic content thru the Nintendo online membership.
Basically, they are killing the store to create value for Switch and the Nintendo membership.
8 out of 10? the 3ds or xl is 8 or 9 out of 10 not this piece of garbage. This is more inline with the virtual boy, a solid 1 out of 10 and should have stayed as a failed prototype. If they wanted to make a more affordable version thats fine but not like this.
The design is awful and the fact that they are changing from stereo to mono-- couldnt they at least keep all the features intact minus 3d-- people will argue that the tablet form will make it safer for kids-- but the 3ds has never gave any concerns of its ruggedness -- price is good and the accessibility is good but very poor enclosure and decision. If they want to make a tablet, make a tablet and not some half assed garbage-- as far as the cost-- the production of 3ds was around 120-130 around the time of launch-- for those who dont know, yes nintendo dont market there stuff below there rd cost, its one of the few reasons why nintendo is able to survive multiple product failures and come out the other end unfazed.. assuming the trend of lower cost per part -- the production for a 3ds should easily be around 80-90 bucks if it isnt lower than that. It begs to question why put cost into developing a cheaper device when they already have one below the estimate.
Looks awesome. It's more sleek then the 3DS to me.
