Her guys, I am looking for some feedback on which console to get. The idea of the 3d looks interesting to me and I like the folding screens and really don't like the 2DS at all IMO. I thought I would throw it up there in case someone could prove some solid points for it. I currently use a DS-Lite and quite enjoy it but am looking for an upgrade to play the new pokemon.
My key factors;
Size and comfort on my hands. - I am 6'1" so I have large hands, the DS-Lite works but I'm wondering if larger screen's/models will be more comfortable?
SuperCARD Friendly - I currently have a DSTWO that I just bought that I am very happy with. The new model MUST be able to run the card.
Longevity - I typically play this sucker on long road trips or flights. So I am on it for 3-5 hours then charge it at the hotel destination. If it can make it that long without needing a charge it would be nice.
Storage - the main reason I don't like the 2DS is the storage. I like the collapsing screen for protection, as well as nice storage.
Future - I want one that wont be replaced in 6 months with a whole new system.. so if there is fear of releasing the next gen handheld PLEASE say something because I haven't heard anything yet. I also want the potential to see future flash cards working on the handhelds, I know they aren't too successful yet.
Things that don't really matter;
2D vs. 3D - I have a DS-Lite, there is no point in me upgrading to just get more 2D game selection. Hence why I don't care about the 2DS. (Although I am getting this to play the new Pokemon's. )
Price - Not a big issue, its a long term investment for me.
Style - Don't care what it looks like or what sleek fancy things it does over another console.
Screen Size - The bigger screens are nice, but definitely not a deciding factor when it comes to comfort vs. screen size.
Help me get educated and make a decision please!
