Nintendo 3DS - Best Handheld Today

Much better battery life

I refuse to. Sometimes I flick it off for a moment to better appreciate the 3D though.

I can’t see 3D well and it gives me a massive migraine, so I keep mine off. Battery life is pretty decent without it on.

I am addicted to Pokemon again, why god why.

Haha never got deep into the battle mechanics but I’ve been thinking of trying to catch em all once again haven’t done that since Silver.

Emerald for me, and even then just briefly. These new Pokemon got progressively…wierder, I preffered my animals and shit lol. But B/W2 is pretty damn fun so far and looks nice. I look forward to X/Y Battle of the Poke Chromosomes.

I finally got my 3DS and popped in Fire emblem Awakening. Oh. God. Yes.

Much more satisfying experience than what the vita has offered me so far.

really? how much are we talking here? what is the battery life on regular 3DS?

It’s pretty bad. 3 hours with sound and 3d on like 4 without 3d on.

There’s something about the 3DS XL that nintendo really doesn’t want you to know though too. Yes there’s better battery life. BUT the top screen on a 3DS XL isn’t as sharp as a normal sized 3DS. That’s how they get the extra battery life. So basically the white part of the menu screen on the top is a lot more white on a normal 3DS and such. And you shouldn’t expect anything less from nitnendo. They’ll be another model later on that will “fix” this problem too. I say this as I own a 3DS XL and normal 3DS.

meh games still look extremely gorgeous on that xl screen

Yes always…it hurts my eyes too much to have it on for more than 5 min.

So GBC Oracle games for DL next month eh? Dammit Nintendo…Sold…grumble grumble

I would have bought the XL by now if it wasn’t for them refusing to put the god damn second analog on it. I want it…I want it real bad but I’m find with my regular 3DS with 3x battery pack on it until they finally decide to release the revisions with what I want on it.

hmmm. im kinda put off by the XL as well just for the fact that apparently the resolution isnt actually any better then the regular 3DS which can make the games look more pixely.

are the 3X battery packs pretty readily available at retailers? looks like i may have to invest in one of those.

Sound quality of 3DS is better than XL, only because of the material that the shell is made out of. Plus it just feels more solid, especially if you have the Nyko battery pack. This also makes the battery life better than XL. Still, I sold my 3DS after buying the XL. I like the large screen (pixel issue isn’t noticeable to me) and the feel of the XL better. The placement of the stylus is far more intuitive with XL also.

I can’t wait for the day SNES and GBA games become available on 3DS, as well as Majora’s Mask.

It depends on the game and where I’m at.

If I’m in a stable position where I can maintain that “sweet spot”, I’ll have the 3d on in full blast. But if I’m not, then it’s off. Some games have a wider sweet spot area than others, so that factors in too. For example, in Super Mario 3D land, the slightest movement seemed to blur the hell out of things. Very annoying.

Oh Zelenin…

PS:
uuuuh… How do you beat her?

What route are you on?

Beat her on neutral (I think it was just a case of staying buffed, keeping her debuffed and spamming wind attacks), but I hear she is harder in the chaos path.

I’m on the neutral route. Maybe I should use Snake Ouroboros because it’s got good resistance against everything.

I never use the 3D on mine but that’s only because I can’t see it. I have no idea what it’s even like. But I hear I’m not missing much.

Whoever told you that lied.
