OoT3d

Is it June 19th yet? i suppose i could kill more time by playing another playthrough of the copy of Ocarina of Time i have, but seeing all the shots and the video for OoT3D makes me want it more and more... and besides, it'll be a lot more portable.

Speaking about the Old Version, i just finished a three-heart run, yet again, only died about half a dozen times, which is not to shabby, however i have done it once without dieing... several years ago now.

i still find it hard to believe when i was much younger i got stuck in the oddest of places, when it first came out, i could not reach the adult segment... then i got lost in the Forest Temple, and then the fable Water Temple. i didn't start taking the three-heart challenge until i actaully completed it in a later game, Twilight Princess

hmm... maybe i ought to play again, one as a causal run, only collecting the hearts of the bosses, and then the last one as the 100% run... i'll definitely need to get load up a walkthrough and follow it to a T for that... 100 gold skullutas are not an easy find without a guide.

now if only my replacement control pad stopped trying to go to the right, i'd be happy.

Nintendo 3DS

Sure, you got your 3D TVs, but you're stuck with annoying Glasses that enable you to see the 'third demension'

Sure, you go back, there was that short-lived Atari system, i think i played Mario Tenis on that thing once.

So what is so special about this little doo daa that's roughly the same size as the Nintendo DS Lite?

Don't need no glasses.

Sure, I don't have any of the Launch games yet for my 3DS (nor am i planning on them right away), but i must say, the 3D effect is quite impressive, one of those 'seeing is believeing' phrases... there's enough to do with the system to see enough of the 3D.

Is it worth the $250 plus whatever state tax you may or may not pay? well, with the current games if that's your thing, i've heard mixed reactions about them, and right now the 3DS is a replacement for my old Zelda: Phantom Hourglass DS Lite speical that was so well loved the top screen 'whited' out on me, and the Black DS that i borrowed from my brother, about a few months older then mine, had a busted L button and just recently the hindge broke so the top screen is 'loose' until they start releaseing and coming out with new titles, which don't come out for a few more months... maybe the Virtual Console when it's released in May will have something to pass the time.

perhaps the only major downside is the 5-8 hour lifespan, but when you think about 3D, perhaps it's better if it starts dieing about that point, perhaps it'll force one to actually get off the system to avoid migraines :)
