So I bought myself a Portendo 3DS... (No I f*cking didn't)
I have to say, I am positively suprised by the amount of wonderful games available for the system. (Not really)
The first two titles I bought for it were Ocarina of Time 3D and Starfox64, and those two really met my expectations. I'm glad that Nintendo finally stepped up the game and released them as fully priced, new games rather than on Virtual Console - they completely validate a new release! I specifically like the jaggies - they remind me of the good old days. Connecting a Nintendo 64 to my TV and playing them in their original form would be too much of a bore for me, I would rather pay for those 14 or so year old games full price. What I didn't like was the fact that they were upres'ed - I wanted a retro experiance and I recieved some new-age shlock. What's gaming when you can't make your eyes bleed?
That said, the gaming mechanics remained the same - same old (14 year old) obsolete mechanics that made the games beautiful when I was a child. It's not my nostalgia speaking right now - oh no! The games aged well, like a piece of cheese. When they were released, they were a tasty slice of Gouda - now both of them ascended to the smelly Limburger status.
After playing those two, I was left hungry for more, so I asked mommy dearest to give me some pocket money to buy some more amazing games. I ran to the game store and immediately picked up Nintendogs+Cats. Mom never allowed me to have a real pet, like a cat or dog - she was afraid that they would die of filth and starvation like my hamsters did. The game is revolutionary and completely not a Tamagotchi-wannabe. It's a fantastic improvement from the last title, I'm quite happy with it.
Right now I'm browsing through the E-Shop, I'm thinking of getting the Farmer Simulator, it seems to be the best title out there at the moment.
I think I will wait with buying a Vita - the 3DS really gives me all I need right now. I mean, it even has Metal Gear Solid 3D, and that version is far superior! In moments when there are many enemies on screen, it's programmed to slow down so that I can keep up with them! I mean, bullet time is awesome, isn't it?
I can't wait to play some other wonderful ports, remakes and shovelware for the system. The Portendo 3DS is just oozing originality, I have to say, I was wrong about it.
First impressions? The Portendo 3DS is really a must-have for all those lazy gamers who don't feel like going aaaall the way to the attic to whip up their older consoles. It's also great for slowpokes who appreciate lower framerate when it's absolutely necessary. Not only that, the E-Store is filled to the brim with interesting apps that are totally not farted out by the developers in hopes of getting the odd buck from losers like us.
Break out your wallet and buy a Portendo 3DS, unlike the Vita, it completely validates a purchase!
