"Too old" to play something is just a matter of how much you care about what others think of you. As a 30-year old who picked up Pokemon again after not touching it for 10 years, I have no regrets, and the 3DS is my most-played system these days. As long as you're not avoiding games on other consoles just because they're not made by Nintendo, then there's nothing strange or odd about preferring Nintendo's games.

Besides, there will always be things on Nintendo's consoles and handhelds that you just won't be able to play anywhere else.

System Wars, drek.

To the System Wars with ye.

It looks like this is a case where part 1 may be better in light of part 2, but who knows when that will come out...

Man... I really liked this feature, especially with friends from across the country.

Even if we allowed this kind of thread... you didn't even bother to post an actual way to challenge you. C'mon son!

What.

Did you finish watching the 2nd episode of season 3? It was revealed that the DS9/Defiant crew (aside from Odo & Kira) were put into a sort of Matrix to see how they would respond to the Dominion threat under a certain set of circumstances, but when Odo discovered that his own people were the Founders of the Dominion (the Founders, a.k.a. the Changelings, are the masters of the Dominion, with the Vorta being the diplomats to outside races plus liasons to the Jem'Hadar, who serve as the soldiers), he demanded that his comrades be set free and they be allowed to leave, under the threat of violence.

As no Changeling has ever harmed another, and they don't want the first to happen now, they let everyone go. While certain episodes of DS9 up to this point have alluded to the Dominion, with the last ep. of season 2 showing you the first glimpse of what they're capable of, the first two episodes of season 3 mark the beginning of the cold war between the Dominion and Federation.

This is a System Wars topic.

BBS was originally planned to be on consoles, and neither of them compromise anything for the sake of being handheld, although 3D was a bit on the short side. II's use of in-battle QTE's took you out of everything for the sake of being flashy, whereas BBS' Command Deck, D-Links, and Shotlocks were immense improvements over MP of the previous games, and the Command Styles happen based on battle flow and how YOU fight, instead of what the developers felt looked cool at the time.

3D keeps the Command Deck but replaces Command Styles with Dream Eater links, and goes a step further with Flowmotion. Flowmotion becomes so natural that it feels weird to play any of the other games without it (yes, including the console ones), and in battles it serves a similar purpose to the Reaction Commands of KHII, except once again, YOU are in full control.

The team that's working on KHIII is the same team that made Birth By Sleep and Dream Drop Distance, because the team that was supposed to make III (the same ones that made I and II) have taken forever to make what is now FFXV. What I want is for them to continue building on the gameplay foundation that they started with these two gems, because to ignore them for the sake of making a game that feels more like KHII would be a major step back for everyone and everything.
