Picked up Zelda. The local Best Buy is one of, if not the biggest/busiest stores in Atlanta. They recently moved to a new storespace...the 3DS section was microscopic and they didn't have the game on shelves yet. I found someone else looking for it who said that a clerk was checking the back. He came out with a whopping TWO copies available, lol.

I picked it up earlier. Registered it and got the soundtrack. Dumped it in my closet where it sits until I can play it next week :'(

I don't know why I was expecting a gold cart. Would have been a neat touch.

i get a 3DS when there is a new castlevania coming out for it. I really thought it would be revealed for E3 though.

But that doesn't change the fact that you don't like Zelda, if you're going to complain about hitting switches to solve puzzles.

well let's do like umineko and turn the board
does anybody here thinks "oh my god this is so awesome!" everytime he breaks a cracked wall? hit a switch with the boomerang? use the grappling hook to go whenever they have to go?

was the best bit of the skyward sword demonstration the one where links hit a switch with his newfangled bug item?

Was very difficult to pick a second game. Hardware is shoddy. Tech doesnt work well. Dirty poors stay away, it is not worth it.

the hardware *is* shoddy -- the hinges loosen and break easily, and the battery life is embarrassed by the original psp -- and the 3d tech seems to only REALLY work for an ascetic set of true nintendo faithful, while the rest of us feel our retinae detach and our temples implode. it is distressing the lengths that obese ninpoors will go in order to justify squandering their snack cake and sugar water budget on this turdware

even ds games last 5 hours on the machine. pathetic.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #383 on:** June 19, 2011, 10:56:20 PM »

I cant believe the main menu interface they came up with. This is 2011. The shop is even worse.

2gb non-micro card
Hinge is loose
3 different colors and texures in the body
Big panel gaps
Harsh edges all over
No capacitivr screen
Horrible resolution with jumbo black border and 3d logo in your face at all times
Not even a fucking rectangle, why is the top half a mushroom cap

Worst of all the screen has a 1-degree field of view in 3d mode. And doesnt work if there is even a little glare. People buy handhelds to play on trains and shit man. This tech is not ready for prime time.

I do love oot though

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #384 on:** June 19, 2011, 10:59:23 PM »

top screen scratches, too, when it is closed, partly due to the shitty hinges but ALSO due to crappy mold design and craftsmanship

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #385 on:** June 19, 2011, 11:00:44 PM »

Fuck i forgot about that, it was part of the reason i was waiting for a revision. Does nintendo swap those via warranty? Should i Get a screen protector or does that ruin 3d also?

Hey, Sunshine, the PSP is $100 less than the 3DS. Nintendo fans would be flocking for the cheaper handheld if they truly let their wallets dictate their gaming taste, now wouldn't they?

semi-serious: Given you aren't interested in replaying old games and aren't interested in outdated tech i assume you are skipping the 3ds? at least for now right?

I'll get the 3DS eventually, once its library expands. But I've expressed my strong interest in the PS Vita on the Sony E3 thread, and will probably end up getting that before the 3DS. The lack of video output on the Vita initially turned me off to that likelihood, but it showcased enough features and potential to convince me to disregard that shortcoming for now.

Week one sales of the new Zelda nearly beat the lifetime sales of 3DS top seller Pilotwings Resort. In total around one in five 3DS owners bought the new adventure game over the weekend.

"When we launched, we had a fantastic day one and a very strong week one," he said during our recent interview. "We talked to consumers. Consumers were highly satisfied with the device. They loved the built-in applications. They loved the game experiences. We had high levels of awareness. We had high levels of intent-to-purchase.

"But when we started talking to consumers who were aware or interested, but hadn't yet bought, they told us two things: first, I need a big Nintendo franchise for our purchase. The second thing was I need the network to be up. I need the connected experiences to be there."

the game is okay. but holy shit the controls are so bad. just got into hyrule city and the controls are even worse

nintenbots always said the worst thing about the PSP was that no one wants to play long console games on a handheld then what the fuck is their excuse for this shitty game. nothing is short. cutscenes are 5 minutes long of unskippable babble by some elves and distinguished mentally-challenged fellows. you have to spend 10 minutes running in a forest made of 5 polygons while skeletons that look like elves (aka pallete swaps) attack you. its just not fun nor portable.

yet it gets 5/5 stars

Yes there is. It suffers from PSP-ism. Note I havent played this game before so i'm not coming in with nostalgia coated eyes. I see the game for what it really is. Clunky and messy. The controls are horrible. In teh first dungeon when you crawl out that vent the camer has Resident Evil 1 like camera lock and you can't swing the camera, so I literally ran off the ledge because I couldnt see where Zelda was going and had to re run the dungeon.

It's also a clusterfuck to try to change who youre targeting if theres more than one enemy on the screen. Lock on targetting is also janky as fuck as it seems sometimes it'll work and other times not.

Why can't Zelda hold his shield up and attack at the same time? Or why can't you hold the shield button down and then ahve him attack? you have to let go of the shield button then hit the sword button. That's ridiculous and bad game design.

this is not even getting into the fact that everyone in Zeldas village is a homosexual and how theyre all afraid to enter the vagina analague that is the Great Dookie Tree Dungeon.

bork · « **Reply #407 on:** June 21, 2011, 01:36:16 PM »

Yeah, I barely played it on N64 myself. Doesn't matter- it controls just fine. That's not one of this game's problems.
