The best gaming device Nintendo has ever made? EVER?
CMON.
Alright, it's a fair opinion.
Yeah I know. The Wii U had a small library, but among its small library was gem after gem after gem!
J Taylor Saying that the Wii U was a better one was actually a joke. The Wii U's great, but yeah. If I was picking something seriously, it would be the SNES
I agree the SNES is one the best Nintendo consoles but the Wii came pretty close i mean it wasn't perfect but it was a big comeback from the Gamecube when didn't do too well (not the Wii U they obviously wanted an ambulance when they named it)
portable VC with all that great M2 (SEGA) support... it's hard to argue against it. I still feel the NDS is the best thing Nintendo ever made, followed by GameCube or SNES.
Man, I just noticed how you almost argue any Nintendo console except for the NEW and Virtual Boy to be the best, and it'd be true. As someone else has noted, the Wii was amazing. It wasn't amazing really for the core gamers, but for family and friends. And, obviously, new ways to play.
Ok, so you teased the fact that Ocarina of Time doesn't live up to your standards by saying you'll save it "For another Time". Well it's 2018 and there's still no Ocarina video dammit!
I'm just assuming he's eventually planning a Legend of Zelda retrospective series/season, which is when he'll eventually make and release an OOT video. Maybe not soon, but definitely eventually.
The last Metroid review is in captivity, there is still no Zelda Marathon.@@TackyRackyComixNEO
I mean, any console with Ducktales is automatically worth it.
+Vkmies Imagine if it had been ported to Virtual Boy!
Woo ooo
DUCK TALES! A WOO-WOO!
Have you played DuckTales Remastered? What did you think about it if you did? Did you know there was a DuckTales 2 on NES?
K then I'll get to Port duck tales to the Virtual boy
Not pony tales or cottontails no Ducktales woo hoo
And Metroid: Samus Returns is proof, that the 3DS still didn't fall.
Hans Gretl yeah I was like what fall is he talking about? Still going strong.
@@davidalvaradoda did you watch till the end?
@@JavaIsnom well it's been 6 months but I'm pretty sure I did haha. Don't really remember and I'm not really going to watch the video again to find out.
@@JavaIsnom Actually yeah I did watch the whole thing. I went ahead and watched the end again and yeah I'm pretty sure I wrote that comment while I was watching the video.
True i just bought a 3DS specifically to play Metriod Returns, and it's my first console purchase since game cube! However it's somewhat disappointingly simplified. They obviously spent lots of time designing the physics and graphics, which makes me wonder why there is such little actual content. Some of the abilities have such short lived utility they're just a novelty. And the diggernaut chase is a blatent rule breaker for samus' typical invulnerability. Not to mention 99% of the enemies you just parry and shoot once... very sad smash bros influenced the game. The melee attack would be fine if it didn't have the parry that makes everything too easy. Frankly though 3ds has 25 mature titles, that's it.... it's a kids console obviously, look at link between worlds, so simplified and childish vs link to the past.
You mean: _the rise and fall and rise of the 3ds_ right? edit: why did this get so many likes
More like the rise and larger rise of the 3DS
He most likely meant the Fall and Rise of the 3DS, even if the title is in reverse order...
Michirin9801 how can you fall from no stature
You don't, but you can already start high, like the 3DS did as mentioned in the video...
SAVAGE!
The main reason I prefer physical games over download ones is that I actually own them.
+Inazuma65 Physical release>DRM Free>Digital download with DRM
well not only that, if you break your 3ds you can say goodbye to your games, as there's no account like the PSN or xbox live.
+jamusan Nintendo ID....plus you have your SD card.
Last time I heard, you can't put the SD card into another 3ds that's not the one you're registered on (although things might have changed?).
And what's nintendo ID? I ask because I have one game on my sister's 3ds but I couldn't use her account on my 3ds (forcing me to make a new one, but then I stopped to bother).
also swapping the memory stick from the new 3ds ( yeah because you are not gonna go far with 2gb of memory) is just a pain and requires going online to watch a tutorial on how to do it
Really quality editing. Your videos keep getting more tastefully done and are a joy to watch, man. Kudos!
+Spuzzwick Thanks, I'm really glad the off-camera 3DS footage didn't completely ruin this one.
+The Geek Critique eventually all you'll need is a professional-esque title and you'll be one step closer to being one of the big guys :U

The 3ds is my favourite system I have EVER owned.Totally worth the money.But this august my first 3ds of 5 years 8 months wouldn't stop scrolling I bawled my eyes out. My baby was dying. I swear when my original xbox broke, when my ds lite broke and even when my dsi broke I never shed a tear. But this 3ds was just different, my best friend, the thing I took everywhere i stayed. I tried to use my old 3ds but to no avail and i couldn't just reset it as it had like 200 euro worth of software.I got a new nintendo 3ds ( not xl) like at the last sunday of august.I transfered everything over. I reset my original 3ds and turned it back on, it still scrolled. I shed a tear and took its battery out. It lives in a shoebox.R.I.P. my original 3ds.23rd/12/2010-28(ish)/8/16This was written as a tribute to my gorgeous aqua blue 3ds.My 3ds got electronic dementia ;-;.
Jacah Smith z
Jacah Smith How many people actually still own the original aqua blue 3DS. Cheers by the way, I still own my one, dropped a LOT! But it still works, with my 3DS Nintendo Power NSMB2 decals.
Aww, that sucks. My original black 3DS that I bought at launch no longer has a reliable shoulder button. It's semi-retired, but I carry it in the case with my new one so I can use it for StreetPasses.
I agree, it was like a child to me DX. I will never discard it. Even if its broken, it still has a lot of sentimental value to me.
My aqua blue 3ds' hinge broke, it didn't really bother me since i had a nerf case but one of my stupid friends actually PULLED on the top screen while i was playing metroid zero mission (i had cfw) and the top screen broke. luckily my mom fixed it
There are some rare instances where I subscribe to a person after only watching one video he/she made. But this video wasn't one of those instances. In this case I subscribed even before finishing the video. Keep it up man!
12:33 proud of you for the &knuckles

I feel we are the around the same age. Your fondness for the Dreamcast in your Dreamcast video reminded me so much of myself. It is without a doubt my favorite console ever released. Over the close to 20 years since its release I have owned a total of 4 of them and as long as I can get one if mine messes up I will continue to.
Like you I also got the 3ds on launch day. I never got enjoy the benefits of a release 3ds since the hinges on my original one broke breaking it in half. I did buy a 2nd one when the prices dropped to 170. At the age of 35 I will admit I buy the console solely for the pokemon main line games. Doesn't mean I have not stopped to play the great remasters and other releases from its lineup. It is a very solid console you can carry in your pocket and play your game right where you left off. Even sit at home gamers should one.
Very solid content you more then earned a sub my friend.
:) Excellent video. I have a PS4 and Wii U but my 3DS is currently my favorite system that I own. It will definitely go down in time as one of the best gaming devices of all time
Game Boy advance SP is my personal favorite because it has the ability to play classic Game Boy, Game Boy color, as well as Game Boy advance titles, and as a backlit screen, and the clamshell functionality makes it so portable and convenient. I love it even more than the DS and 3DS
Isn't it the fall and rise?
Ragnar Ahlman He mentions that at the end
Now it’s the fall and rise and fall cause the 3ds is dead now
Dylan Brown Could you really call it a fall? Every console has its end.
"was the best handheld nintendo made"
nintendo switch: hold my beer
Not a handheld. That's a console with portable elements.
@@OniLordMiki Idk why they would go back to pure handhelds now that the Switch is here. It blew open the doors and cornered THEIR OWN MARKET on portables.
@@OniLordMiki Switch Lite then.
@@OniLordMiki TGC said "the best gaming device Nintendo has ever made". The Switch is most certainly a contender to dethrone the 3DS in that regard, if it hasn't already.
I strongly disagree, the switch has wayyy too many faults.
I personally am glad that I didn't get the 3DS until later. When it launched, I didn't see much reason to get it. As time went on, I wanted one more and more. But I still wasn't quite convinced yet. Then in the fall nintendo direct of 2014, they showed a trailer for Majora's Mask 3D. I was so F*&$ing Pumped! I NEEDED to get a 3DS now. I had every reason to. Great 3DS titles like Super Mario 3D Land, Kirby Triple Deluxe, Zelda Link Between Worlds and New Mario Bros 2 all looked astounding. And it had some great ports on it. DKC Returns 3D had ZERO motion controls. I couldn't stand having to shake the Wiimote in that game. And Starfox 64 3D looked awesome. (I haven't played that game yet, so I was excited to play it for the first time.) Along with those, it had Ocarina of F*&#ing Time! And the 3DS also had Virtual Console games. I couldn't wait to play Super Metroid on the go. Not to mention that the NEW 3DS XL had Face Tracking 3D. Throw in Majora's Mask 3D and I had no choice but to get a 3DS.
I guess my point is that Nintendo needs to launch their hardware with more and better software. Like the saying goes: "Software sells Hardware"
So far, I have replayed DKC Returns and I love it SOOO much more without the motion controls. Super Mario 3D Land may be my new favorite Mario game. I haven't had that much fun with a Mario game in a long time. I am about to start Majora's Mask and I can't wait! I just gotta go finish up Twilight Princess HD.
Nintendo would've almost certainly been better-suited to wait until Holiday 2011 to launch the 3DS. I mean, like I said in the video, they didn't even have many of the firmware features ready in March!
The Geek Critique
I hear ya man.
My need for the 3DS came from OoT, but Majora's Mask made my throw down for the *New* version. Overall the system is nice, but I still rarely play it. If I am mobile, I play more things on my phone than anything else (also a PSP and Vita owner).
Drew Heath that because the real reason to get a 3ds is for metroid 2. Pick up that 3ds again
I still carry my 3DS around, and yes, I still play Mii Plaza. Those Play Coins are a good reason to take a twenty minute walk - that virtual garden isn't gonna grow itself!
More than any other system right now I find myself going back to so many games. Just today I tried some Coin Rushes in NSMB2, which is probably the Mario game I've sunk the most hours into.
Great video! Made me realise just how much love I have for the 3DS. Now a proud owner of a Switch which will probably replace the 3DS as my go to handheld device, but will always adore this gem of a system.
I remember REALLY wanting a 3DS at launch! I would watch video previews of it and just get excited. I wasn't able to get it at launch but I did get it for christmas that year. Got the one with that cool Iron Man red that came with Super Mario 3D Land. I fell in long with the game and the console. New Leaf was a game changer for me. Love the Animal Crossing series so I sunk hours into New Leaf. When the New 3DS released, I picked it up at launch so I can play Majora's Mask 3D remake and I loved the bigger screen. Not having a charger was baffling but I had my old one so I used that. Transfering my data was a pain but I eventually got it. My cousin was doing something for me on it and accidentally erased my data and lost all my digital games. I didn't buy anything. Mostly stuff I got for free but that included that Zelda Four Swords game. Regardless, I loved it. Wasn't a fan of the nub and the only game I had that took advantage of the New 3DS was Xenoblade Chronicles. Honestly, I don't have many games but the ones I do have, I love. The 3DS was awesome.
When I saw the title I was ready to argue with you. I barely ever use 3D or amiibos and yet I freaking love my New 3DS (and original 3DS before that)! I put over 600 hours into it in 2016 - a new high. Still playing Mario Kart 7 with friends, playing Xenoblade Chronicles since I didn't own it on Wii, the new Pokemon and Fire Emblem games. Incredible library and console. Glad you love it too! I'm both sad & excited with the Nintendo Switch most likely taking over both home and portable Nintendo gaming. Thanks for the great videos. Found the channel a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed looking through your past content!
Ugh. My 3DSXL died a couple months ago and I'm REALLY trying to hold off buying a new one until the price for the Switch is announced in January, but this so makes me wanna just splurge and get a N3DS anyway. I miss it so much. :-( It really is one of my favorite consoles I've ever owned, and my gaming history goes back to the 80s.
Jason Blalock Well now you're good lol
Actually, Street Fighter 4 wasn't the only game that had the option to disable 3D in the menu. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate let you do that as well, though I don't think it improved the framerate.
"If you have the heart of a gamer, well, you have a 3ds"
*was always too poor for one*
*cries*
MH4U is the game my wife and I spent over 1000 hours playing together, and it’s really what helped us bond. I love her so much, and MH4U helped bring us together
Dual Destinies best in the franchise?? How can you say that so confidently?!
+kimpy07 I was also surprised. I feel like most fans of the series would disagree. Personally, it's one of my least favorites, which I guess can mainly be attributed to Shu Takumi's character writing over Yamazaki's overly dramatic plots. Phoenix's development in Apollo Justice wasn't quite there anymore, Apollo *still* didn't get a real chance to shine and Athena was yet another young genius lawyer. And all the voice actors chosen for the NA version just felt wrong. That and the cutscenes were so very stereotypically "anime" it hurt. ...although maybe you have different reasons for what you said.
kimpy07 I can agree with you there
Dual Destinies sucked
I think its great, but just a little worse than TT and SoJ
He probably didn't play the fan translation of Investigations 2.
He mispronounced Trials And Tribulations
The 3DS really didn't hit it's stride until the eShop dropped. Then it ran wild. And getting the streetpasses in the McDonald's also helped.
Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon sold the 3DS for to me. I love it so much!
Noah & Toad Same here.
With my family still owning a working Wii, I saw myself in the early days of the 3DS playing on a 2DS that made me ignore the 3D feature, and still up to day, I'm playing on a "new" 2DS XL system that feels like the full upgrade of the 2DS I was given 4 years prior of all the iconic video game experiences I've ever had. Along with me and my brother having countless hours of funny moments learning how to play Sm4sh for the first time.
I loved the 3ds my son still plays it to this day
Oh the 3DS. One of the more fond memories of my childhood. I was so pump when it was launched. I remember looking in to it for months before it came out, I was so excited about the 3D without glasses. There weren't so many games but I didn't care, it was a fun idea. Rest in peace Satoru. Rest in peace childhood, it is nothing I will ever ask to be different. I miss those days...
TheFirewalker damn how old are you if that was your childhood? You make it sound like it isn't their most recent system besides the switch.
Yeah I got the 3ds launch date as well. I had it on me everyone since. Those early dates were rough but it turned out okay. I remember waiting until midnight to update my 3ds to download the eshop and how disappointed I was when I found out the mega man legend 3 was canceled.
"They're comfy, and easy to wear!"
I see what you did there ;-)
Great video man. I wish you had more views and that your channel was bigger. You make some top notch videos.
Wait, that's what the Ambassador system did? Woah, that's amazing; it really does make me feel special
I love the eight melodies song at the end. nice touch
As a 46 year old gamer, my New 3DS is the 1st hand held system I've ever owned. Aside from the Entech space invaders game I had in 1982 when I was 12... I love it. I bring it everywhere.
The 3DS is definitely one of my all time favorite consoles
RIP Iwata.
And 3 years later. Still alive.
That's 6 or 7 years now. It survived the Switch!!
2018: I still play on a 3DS. My most played game?
Terraria: 400 hours
Edit: I am also working through the Shin Megami Tensei games released on the 3DS as well
My favorite Nintendo handheld of all time. Awesome video!
I too got a 3DS at launch. I knew the launch was shoddy, but as an actual pilot I enjoy Pilotwings on principle, and above all, I had an intrinsic feeling that the system was going to be great in the end.
It was wonderful to see that feeling vindicated. Recently I got a New 3DS XL (Galaxy edition!!) and it is the most beautiful handheld I've ever owned. I DEEPLY look forward to playing Xenoblade on this thing, and I have both Super Metroid and Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy + (boy that one's a mouthful) permanently stored on my system and it's such a wonderful feeling. Those load times are beautiful too. Really noticed it while playing Mario Kart 7.
It's saying something that literally the only 'problem' I can think of with the 3DS right now is that the Switch may end up eventually overtaking it - and fundamentally that's a good problem for Nintendo to have. It's great to see them kicking ass again.
Stay sexy, Nintendo. You always were my favorite major game dev and the current era absolutely shows why.
JOSH IS BACK!!! Also, awesome video. Well worth the wait.
I'd like to hear your personal documentary of The Legend of Zelda games and your history with the series.
When I first got my first 3ds, and club nintendo and reviews were still a thing. I said it was a shame the 3ds can't use the camera on the front to track the player for lining up the 3D. Turns out it was a good idea.
Super mario 3d land was the game that made me want a 3ds as a kid.
Somehow I knew you were going to make that & Knuckles joke. It gets me every time
With all the specs and features, the 3DS is the best handheld of all time
Mii StreetPass is the best and most wholesome thing to ever happen to gaming
For some reason, I ignored your videos in my recommended section. I was a silly guy because dang I enjoy this channel.
Thanks for coming around on me! :D
This platform was worth it because of SMT4 alone, everything else is just bonus to me.
Well done and I totally agree! I OVE my "New" 3DS. I too am a 3DS Ambassador gamer :)
Your journey with the 3DS is almost a mirror image of mine. 3DS Ambassadors Unite!!!
I remember getting mine for my 10th birthday. I'm 14 now. I was ecstatic. I've loved Nintendo most of my life. I took this thing everywhere. I got the New 3DS for 2015 Christmas with Xenoblade Chronicles 3D. I have most of the best games for the system. Aside from Star for 64 3D and LOZ: OOC.
Personally, I think the early launch of the 3DS was a good thing. It let Nintendo work out the kinks of their new console. If they released the system that November at $250 dollars, it would be too late to course-correct and the system would have squandered the holiday season. It might not have lasted a full year to the NEXT holiday.
I want a continued sequel to this video. There's so much more to tell now.
Fantastic video. I was a bit confused by the title, until what you said at the end. The 3DS is truly an amazing system, and to this day my favourite game console. I still remember the early days, playing the built in software and the Rayman 2 port, the only retail launch game to interest me, due to it being Rayman 2. I remember being wowed by the 3D effect on a demo system at a store near where I live. I remember coming home from school with a package from Amazon on the 30th March 2011 (during the system's first week after launch in Europe) and just being so excited. The Ambassador Programme was a wonderful way to acknowledge and reward those who were with the system since the beginning, and if it weren't for it, I'd never have properly owned the likes of Super Mario Bros. or The Legend of Zelda, and I'd never have been properly introduced and interested in Metroid or Yoshi's Island. Even as I type this, my Aqua Blue original 3DS sits near me, always ready for a quick game, or a more invested session. I almost never leave home without it, and it's become almost central to my life as a gamer.
Tl;dr, I love the 3DS, think it's the greatest game console ever made, and this was a great video, easily one of your best in my opinion.
+Ben Edwards Thanks a ton! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Happy to see you back!
Great job on the video! A game I wanted to bring up was Link between worlds because that was the game that got me into the 2D Zelda games.
I still have to play the new Smash on the 3DS one of these days. Good video, Geek Critique. Me personally, I only have like five games for the the 3DS with three of them being Mario games. I loved 3D Land, although NSMB2 and Sticker Star I really am not a fan of. Surprised you didn't talk about A Link Between Worlds.
+The Side Quest Gamer I have yet to play it, actually!
The Geek Critique you'll love it. One of the best 2D Zeldas ever. It caters to ALTTP fans, yet everything seems so new. That is a retro revival done right.
+The Geek Critique If you haven't, give a shot to Mario & Luigi: Dream Team too. Fantastic RPG, really one of the best on the already amazing series.
Can't help it if it's all Mario, seems over half the games they release are mario, they lost a lot of their good franchises and target youth too much, x25 mature titles total?!?
I have a new 3ds XL now, but I kept my launch 3ds for my nephews and the fact that it looks pretty sexy. Hell they play it more than me.
A couple of points, one being that the 2DS was not mentioned at all, which is still a great device for those of us not wanting to shell out the extra cost for a 3DS to play the same games (also great for kids). The other part being that with the new Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer bundle, we have a non-XL *New* 3DS option in the US.
Glad to see you making video again! Also I brought my 3DS on launch in my country and I completely agree with you it was quite a underwhelming first half year but by year 2 it became the handheld it was meant to be. I'm hoping to get the Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer New 3DS XL for my birthday this year as well. Probably one of my most Nostalgic 3DS moments (If you consider 5 - 2 years ago as Nostalgia) was when I went to Summer Of Sonic (The big Sonic The Hedgehog convention in my country) 2011 and around 100 Street Passes including Yuji Naka (It was the 20th Anniversary Party for British Sonic fans, of course he'd show up). But yeah, the 3DS is awesome and I can't wait to see what NX handheld will be like.
Man I loved that thing so much. Used to play it on a bike in the gym. One hour cardio, no boredom at all. I had all those great games, and, sadly, I gave it to my girlfriend. Now she's gone and so is the 3ds. Guys, learn from my mistakes 😢
That falling sure took a long time...
I wonder if he'll ever make that zelda OOT video ;)
So wait, that was confusing. Does Street Fighter 4 on 3DS run at 30 or 60fps? Not that it matters much here in 2018.
Be glad you are not a big Monster Hunter fan because if you were and you played it as much as me on a New 3ds XL you would have broke your circle pad a long time ago and had to order and fix it just like me. Monster Hunter is an amazing game I just wish my DS could hold up to me playing for so long lol
xxVincentVxx shit kind of makes me nervous of playing mine 😅
Nah dont be I just play roughly lol
Man I grew up playing Turtle Bridge and Mario vs a Donkey Kong with the two slide out controllers. Makes me love the switch that much more
Hi from 2018! I have to say even now the 3ds never really "fell", and it's still going strong with so many new games to this day. I use it even more than my switch, not gonna lie.
I got one in May 2012, and I have so many games for it
It's my favorite handheld of all time
Genuinely great episode. Thanks for making this.
I look forward to seeing the inevitable Wii U Fall & Fall episode in the future.
I would love you forever if you put the music you used in the description. It took me way to long to figure out the outro was the 8 melodies
Had to stop the video midway to express my appreciation for the 'comfy and easy to wear' reference. TOP. NOTCH.
I personally think that the fact they made xenoblade chronicles 3d for the new 3ds shows it's power more than anything. Taking an over 100 hour JRPG ON THE GO! That's just amazing and mind blowing in my rhes.
At the end, I had tears in my eyes. It was wonderful to relive my journey with the 3ds again.
I bought the original 3ds when it first came out. Every new upgrade I traded in. They made an XL? Got it. The "new" XL came out? Got it. I still have my ambassador games on it. I do wish they would have made gba games available for sale.
Its weird. I had a gameboy advance as my first console and multiple DS consoles after that. Looking back at both generations of consoles I can definitely see where they had their useful life and place in gaming.
With the 3ds, I think of how in 2018 it's a waning handheld pushing 7 years since launch but as old as it is this console has plenty of life if they wanted to actively develop for it. It was built well enough for another 4 years of games. The regret I have with the 3ds comes with maturity. Being older when buying it and games I expected the consoles library of new games to grow with me and had to come to grips with this not being entirely the case. While I love the 3ds for its quirks, and flaws its been the console of what could have been or should have been.
They also killed the conaole with its poor library at launch and late life library. It always seemed like they had only one or three to five top tier games to choose from in any given year after 2014. If you dont like the series they went for like I did several times you had to sit on your hands. Additionally they missed a ripe chance to reintroduce 2d Metroid until the very end. There could have beem two of those games like Fusion and Zero Mission 15 years ago. Other games which could have been fantastic ports were avoided. Had they been able to bolster their line up better than was done, the 3ds could have beaten the original DS in sales easy. It's superior in every single way except for battery life.
I understand the Switch is probably going to be their sole console going forward. Having a portable home console is almost too close to have a true portable when smartphones are king. But I do not understand the comparison made between phones and handheld systems. Its like comparing a waffle to a strip of bacon. They're both breakfast items but each provide a completely different flavor and level of satisfaction.
great video josh its very rare when i see someone praise the 3ds it and its software are so underated
I remember bidding for my first red 3ds on eBay for Animal Crossing. A few months later, Link Between Worlds happened and I needed that special edition. That machine has been through China, Korea, Netherlands, England, France, through the U.S., Comic Con and I love it... then Majora's Mask edition came out...
This should have been called "the fall and rise of the 3ds"
Also, Kirby Battle Royale is likely the last major Nintendo title for the 3ds, like how Kirby mass attack was for the ds, Kirby dream collection was for the wii, and Kirby dream land 3 was for the snes, and Kirby adventure for the nes.
Isnt it the rise and rise and rise?
Its 2020, and I still regularly see people using the 3DS everywhere, me included.
rewatching this video, I really appreciate the use of the melody from Mother! :)
Great to see another video!
The 3DS series was okay, but there weren't that many good 3DS games for it. The positive thing about all versions of the 3DS was the backwards-compatibility with DS, DSi and 3DS games. And by the way, R.I.P. Satoru Iwata.
The way people who are into the MH series describe it to me indicates that it's about reading tells and rolling out of the way at the right time, along with a bit of picking the right tools for the job. (They also indicate that the biggest difference between easier monsters and harder monsters isn't the damage they do, or the health they have, but the length of and subtlety of the tells), but it sounds like you managed to last longer with your first MH game than I did.
Hi just wanted to say I joined as a subscriber today because of this video. Thank you. I loved it.
June 6, 2011 was a big day for me. (Yes, I do remember the exact date the Nintendo eShop was launched)
To defend a bit of monster hunter, if you know how to handle the monsters, and to damage certain parts, and then capture instead of kill, the game not only loses a great deal of grinding, but the individual hunts are shorter too, since you can capture a monster around 30% dead, and that extra 30% of a fight you save REALLY adds up in not a lot of time.
3Ds is the best thing Nintendo has ever made. It’s my favourite Nintendo handheld. It’s got the best catalog of titles of any Nintendo device ever, no contest. The new 3D is stable, it’s got customizable faceplates and themes, and a size that’s just right. I love it more than my Switch and I still support it.
I still love the 3DS
I'm still playing on my original 3DS and it's been a long road with many fantastic games. I actually got it the day of the big price drop--OoT3D is what led me to want the system but the price drop had already been announced at that point so I found it within myself to wait.
beautiful *cries
Seriously though, the 3ds was the first system i got as a real gamer (before i mainly played wii sports and made my parents beat new super mario bros because I was too scared too) I will never have the same moments i had with my brother playing the 3rds ever again. Best thing is that me and my brother are still playing together and man, the 3ds is where we started
I love my Nintendo 3DS system and I am so happy that there is still support for it.
And I am still playing my Nintendo 3DS. I went back to my archive of games during this pandemic and I am playing Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and trying to get all the KONG letters and puzzle pieces for each stage.
You remember when you said you liked Brawl because the Wii was so easily modded, it was pretty much open source? I feel the same way for the 3DS, and it's my favorite for that reason. The capabilities are endless and in the last system (so far) that actually fits in your pocket.
Glad to have you back Josh, I think you need to tone it down a bit on the music, something about the way it was mixed with your voice made it difficult to focus on what you were saying. Maybe it was the selection or just something in editing, but great video otherwise.
On your very last point. Agreed. I got my the ocarina of time 3ds and LOVED it. all my gamer friends made fun of me until they started getting them. I moved up to the NEW 3ds xl and i have gotten SO MUCH ENJOYMENT at this VERY powerful handheld system. Having such amazing games to take with you every where. is just amazing.
It's been a while, but it was great to see another video.
I remember getting my 3DS in the mail and being extremely excited, and then it sat unused for months until 3D Land and then all of a sudden there we so many games for it! Now it's just sitting around again but that's mostly just because of me not the system.
I bought mine both to play the Ghost Recon SRPG and to be the third shoulder button replacement Nintendo portable. Both the original GBA, DS Phat, and DSi all lost the R button. So Phat was traded in towards theDSi and the DSi towards the 3DS.
So glad you are back making videos! I really enjoyed this, particularly as I can relate to a lot of it, having bought a 3DS at launch myself. I will admit that before the system really kicked off, I did think that perhaps it was doomed to fail, but after they started releasing a plethora of first party games and I started noticing that I was getting some StreetPass hits, I knew I had made the right choice buying it. I was a bit surprised you didn't mention the 2DS, but I suppose it's not much different to the standard versions anyway.
+RibShark Yeah, I remember coming back to college after Christmas 2011, and I'd have to clear out my StreetPasses every time I walked through the cafeteria. It was really refreshing.
The 2DS... eh, the video was long enough, y'know? Plus, I've never had one.
Got Rayman 2 at launch, was really happy getting that over any other titles
Really well thought out video that highlights a lot of my own opinions about the system, up there as one of the best
I only got a 3DS recently (about 2 months ago) and I'm in love with it... It's like being back in the N64 days except the games cost half as much =P
