I don't see it, there is no giant heart-shaped hole.

It's less the shape and more that it's got all that day-glo lights and shit around it.

Like Tron came out in 1982 and Zelda was 1986, so even in the 80's it didn't adapt that kind of aesthetic.

Why would something that came out in the 80s adopt a retro-80s aesthetic? Another Marissa Moira genius post.

I'm saying that when Zelda was current in the 80's it didn't adapt the futuristic aesthetic that most people attribute to the 80's.

Stick a 80's retro futuristic aesthetic over zelda doesn't work, something like transformers could get away with it, but not zelda. Zelda's 80's restro aesthetic looked like this

It's like the shit Super 7 does and tries to mash all the old shit together into some member berry jam, that doesn't even resemble the original in the slightest.

I would be pretty fucking thrilled if Punch-Out!! for the Wii got ported over. That game should be on everything.

Get hype for another 20 year old game that was itself a shot-for-shot remake of a 40 year old game, MSRP $59.99, what else is the Switch for after all.

No I'm actually serious, it's a good game, I'd take that over BOTW2. Bring back Mike Tyson too, he's paid his debt to society.

Rather than continuing with two gaming eco-systems, Nintendo rolled the dice and killed the 3DS in order to basically force EVERYONE to buy the Switch if they wanted to keep playing Nintendo games. The Switch's portability itself, was the "compromise"; a merger of a traditional console system with a portable mode that would placate people pissed the fuck off that the 3DS and the lineage of the Gameboy was irrevocably dead.

There was actually a decent amount of Nintendo-published games released for the 3DS after the March 2017 release of the Switch.

The problem was that most consumers jumped to the Switch and as a result most of those post-Switch 3DS games sold significantly less than what was predicted(The poor sales of the couple of Mario RPG remakes released post-switch outright killed the studio that made them). I think Nintendo once pointed out at an investors meeting that the people were losing interest in the 3DS a lot faster than they thought they would.

It just wasn't financially viable to continue supporting the 3DS with big tentpole titles if they weren't pushing numbers. At least you can say it got a lot more post-switch support than the Wii U ever did by a large margin.

Who could have predicted that making a game that did not need an update and could be played on the same system on a platform that was past its prime would be a disaster waiting to happen?
 
I'd be willing to excuse the Breath of the Wild delay if they weren't reusing the entire fucking map that I'd already run around for 200 hours in. I know, they're adding new stuff, but it feels to me like they're stuck in development hell. Either the Switch can't handle what the team wants to do, or they're feeling listless with direction. Either way, this game better fucking rock my socks off to justify another year-long delay.
 
Fine by me that they culled the 3DS line a little early, I had three of them break on me. I've never had more than one console just outright die on me while I was still playing it, yet my 3DSes all failed, including my "New" one, just, out of the blue. And by the time my last one broke, they were hard to come by and fairly pricey used, because Coronavirus.

It's got some good games too, but I really really wish Nintendo would port them over to Switch already.

And here I thought I was the only one with 3DS issues.

I went through two. A regular one that had the "B" button break and stop working, and the "new" version that had the L&R buttons break. First one also completely stopped reading regular DS cartridge games unless I stuck a small piece of paper inside it or something so the damn system would actually detect them.

Damn, what the hell were you two doing to your systems?

Nothing out of the ordinary. My first one, a 2011 model, started getting really weird, like the battery would just out of the blue cut out and completely die, and then wouldn't recharge. Bought a new battery, and the same thing happened, so it wasn't just the battery. Eventually the whole thing just quit working overall. Having it plugged in didn't work, either.

Then an old XL just outright quit turning on other than the power light, though I did hack it before it became easy to hack, so it might have been because of that. Still, I couldn't recover the firmware without some crazy bullshit that has you microsolder a MicroSD card reader to a few tiny pins, so that one's good as gone. For what it's worth, I've never lost another system due to a hack, and I tend to hack whatever old systems I can when they go obsolete. So who knows if that was a Nintendo problem or not.

Then my new XL's B button quit working out of the blue. It became so that you had to press it really hard to get it to activate, but shortly after just quit working overall. That's an extremely important button, so I took it apart to see if I could clean or fix anything, and, nope. Looked online to see if I could buy a replacement button board, and they just weren't around at the time. New 3DSes with broken screens and water damage on eBay were still more than I was willing to pay at the time, too. (you also can't just use old XL button boards with new XLs)

Whatever. At least I got to play through what I wanted to play. Maybe there'll be a deluge of them on the resale market when Corona-chan shit and the recession finally wrap up for good. Shit, man, I take care of my electronics, too. Even if you don't count that one I hacked, I still lost more 3DSes than even the notoriously fragile 360s and PS2s.
