3DS


So the 3DS was released on March 27th. The system is touted for its greatly improved hardware including 3D capability and an expanded memory cache. I really wonder if it's worth the $250 price tag, though.

After years of GameBoy, then DS, then PSP, I came to a realization: handheld games don't entertain me. I simply played them out of a necessity for stimulation rather than enjoyment. To be honest, any old iPod game today will do for me. So are handhelds still relevant?

I can't see much use for them other than to revisit old, favorite labels.

  2. I never got into the portable handheld world but I do find myself bored when not near a console or computer. Could be time to pick a DS or PSP up, hmmm.

  3. I always get bored of handhelds, unless I play with friends. Last handheld I bought was the Gameboy micro. I have to admit though the 3DS blew my mind :D

  5. I usually use my DS to play RPGs and long games because I'd prefer to be able to do them while on transport etc.

  7. I tried one out that my friend had and thought the 3d was really weird. Maybe I just did it wrong :/

  8. Handholds are definitely relevant. I play my iPhone and DS just as much as any TV based console.
