I wonder how long it'll take for someone to go out and make Senor Koquenfaes on their 3DS.
Hell, someone's probably already done it (excluding Yahtzee himself, of course).

It did seem like they rushed it out before...you know

ALL THE GOOD GAMES CAME OUT.
Because remember all those great games the first DS came out with...oh...

Actually I'd say the 3DS had a better launch.

I really didn't want Yahtzee to review this so early, it's not really accurate. By that mentality, the PS3 was the worst console ever because it had a terrible launch line up.

Man that having to keep your head completely still thing is such a bummer cause I don't stay still when I'm playing my games.

It's a nifty piece of hardware, sure, but I just wanted some good titles on it. Sadly, we're still in the aftermath of the Casual Schlock Revolution, where every title has to be a colorful collection of stupid minigames. (yes, it's a generalization, but fuck me if my Wii isn't the most useless electronic device I own right after my PSP)
Every other title of note are remakes. *Sigh*

Perhaps a new strategy game or something that doesn't require a dedicated 3D environment camera to play. Incidentally, the 3D effect gimmick is the part I care the least about.

Watching Yahtzee ***** about how much of a headache the 3D effect gives is amusing; it paints him as a pretentious masochist who is incapable of finding the little slider that turns the effect off.
Alternatively, I'm reminded of an analogous scene where a movie critic is bound to his seat by chains while the rest of the movie-going audience leaves in utter disgust.

Just one thing: while Majora's Mask has the same controls and playstyle of Ocarina of Time, and the same Young Link and copies of characters from Ocarina of Time, I'd like to say that everything else is completely different, as it stands along with The Adventure of Link as one of the black sheep of The Legend of Zelda series.

Haha, that was great. Pretty damn spot on too!

The 3d effect on this thing did make my head hurt when I played it so yeah, he's right about that one for damn sure.

Fitting that the 3DS has such an in-depth critique.
You absolutely love making puns, don't you?

OT: Yeah, I wasn't impressed by the 3DS either.
We could just say his humor doesn't have many dimensions

I definitely agree with his diagnosis of Nintendo. It now sucks. First the gamecube,then the Wii and now a shitty handheld console that is more or less the same as an older one (that was shit).

I used to love Nintendo, they broke my heart.

Fucking Japanese bastards. Bring back the good games!

Yes the launch titles sucked and the 3d is meh. Street fighter is really good though and the over the shoulder view takes advantage of the 3d.

Nintendo really needs to take metroid back in house. Other M was a catastrophe.

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.
3D films, 3D gaming, done it, no real problem, but 3DS really got at me. In any event, 3D doesn't do anything for me, experience wise, especially gaming (being colour-blind does not help, either...).

3D doesn't work properly on smaller TVs, so on a cell-phone sized screen it's abysmal, IMO. I don't like 3D even in movies that much, because I personally can't notice it too much, so it doesn't really alter the experience for me. So meh 3DS.

Totally different technologies, those "small TV's" don't use parralax barrier.

If you can't notice 3D in movie theaters, it's possible you're among the 10% or so of people who can't see 3D
