where's portal 2, he should review it, and see whether its up to its reputation compared to the first game.
Did you read the stuff in the credits? It's next week.

I'm a little disappointed with this one. I'm not all that big on the 3D myself, though it did influence my decision in my purchase, but the real kicker is that I don't actually care. Its more than just 3D, and I'm convinced the games will come in time. Some might even use the 3D well, if at all possible.

The thing is, while the Wii was essentially all motion control, the 3D on the 3DS is entirely optional, and not integral to the experience. Its just a nice aside that the marketting department jumped on.

HAHA great review of 3DS. I had a go of my brother's 3DS and after a few minutes had to stop because it was hurting my eyes so much. I cannot see the point of a handheld device that requires you to stare at the screen at certain angle in order to get the benefit of it's main feature.

"Portal 2 will be next week"
That might (big might) shut those bloody fanboys up

Good thing I'm waiting to get a 3DS by Xmas this year. That way, we'll get some good games in store and hear some of the upcoming games later this year and next from E3 2011.

And I want to add this: Why the hell is half the people here raving for Portal 2? I don't have the game(yet), but I would rather be anxious to play it more than wait for Yahtzee to talk about it.

Sorry, won't join you on your planet. I've gotten used to putting up with all the shit (most of which at least isn't bundled with the console) and ocassional evilness from Nintendo as long as the console will have a Mario game, a Mario Kart game and a Zelda game (and Paper Mario and Kid Icarus doesn't hurt either).

Great one Yahtzee! Bash that 3D with all your might and I hope it will disappear soon! I saw the news for 2D glasses and as soon as those hit the shelves in Germany, I'm getting a pair.

Also, you rule in creating avatar names. I almost died laughing at SENOR KOQUONFAES! I'm so naming myself that way in some game :D

"The thing about 3D is that I stopped noticing it until it fucks"

Well that only means it works as intended, right ?

I did try the 3DS in a best buy it is crap, chances are it'll go the way of the DSi.

That being said I am still a huge fan of Nintendo because despite their many cock ups they still have some very good titles and are a major force in pushing gaming forward.

Every time they have a success it is followed by a failure? Which was the last failure? I didn't think the Gamecube did that bad, especially with Metroid Prime.
It was the least selling Nintendo console, which is probably the reason that made Nintendo change it's direction towards casual players.
I guess Virtual Boy didn't make it onto your list of Nintendo consoles? Lol.

I think the 3DS will be a good purchase... next year. :) For now I'm excited for their silly ports.
I was talking about about home consoles, but yet again I should have been more clear =p

Surprised he didn't make comments to the effect of 'literal head-fuck'.

Less than an hour on 3DS = splitting headache... not impressed.
I worked with the 3DS using it daily for nearly a year and I never got headaches so it just depends on the person.

Games used to be *WAY* more 3D, so consider yourself protected.

I don't know, if 3D could slap me in the face, I'm afraid of what it'll slap me with. For those not aware, the earliest adoptors of new tech is usually the porn industry.

I tried a 3DS in a shop and I felt travel sick. I have normal vision.
I won't be playing the DS in 3 dimentions when I eventually get one for Pokemon.

It feels like you're looking at a magic eye.

And this whole 3DS thing is triple-y lame because now Mega Man Legends 3 is going to be cancelled (probably) due to the fact that nobody wants to buy this gimmicky piece of crap.

For my part, Nintendo has been sliding steadily downhill ever since they decided to release the N64 with a cartridge slot instead of a CD-ROM drive.
