but Yu-Gi-Oh gives me 5 D's. What do you have to offer Nintendo?
I've been thinking about buying a Nintendo DS for a long time, and when a shiny new one comes out, it may be a gamechanger. The 3DS has been going through the rumor mill for months and I didn't think it was impossible. When it was finally announced by Nintendo at Tuesday's press conference, my brain instantly squeaked, "I want that." Point: Nintendo. They always make a quality product that just seems fun without any effort. I already own a PSP; why would I need a DS? Why did I need the PSP? The answer to all of these questions is that I'm a sucker for novelty. I need stuff. That stuff can be anything. I can be bought with something shiny with anything resembling a dragon ball emblazoned on the side.
The 3DS is basically a shinier DSi at first glance. It still has both cameras and has the same screen and casing dimensions, but this one also has an extra outward-facing camera to shoot 3D images. Christmas 2011. What do we all need? To shoot .3 MP 3D images with our GameBoys and show them off on our new $5000 3D Bravia. Of course I want to shoot 3D images on my new GameBoy with picture quality reminiscent of cell phones circa 2000. Like I said, I already own the PSP, and it is a fabulous portable console, with a great lineup of games coming out this cycle. I have very few bad things to say about it, except that it doesn't have my favorite Nintendo characters. I can't play the newest Mario, Zelda, or even Pokémon games on my PSP. Sure, I can play Fat Princess, but the capture of her does not involve a Pokéball.
I guess I'm being a bit silly. College students on a budget of- well I'm not sure how much is in my budget- but I shouldn't be just throwing my money away, but am I really throwing it away? I'd like to hear some response from the community on the worth of a DS, and especially the DSi. Thanks in advance...GameBoy Advance.
