@Allicrombie: Wow, lol. I didn't even know you could do that. Though, I'm almost done all the puzzle pieces at this point, I need like 40 more. :(.

Also lol at GameSpot's DKC Tropical Freeze review. I just read it and I don't understand.

@Allicrombie: Lucky. I live in a condo and I don't get any of that.

Team USA is lucky you guys have Kessel. Hopefully he continues his good play when he comes back from the Olympic break... y'know it'd be nice to see the Leafs get past the first round in the playoffs >_>.

That being said... I still hope Team Canada wins it, of course.

I remember reading reviews that said sort of the same thing, curious to see what that'll be once I get there.

I watched a bit of TitanFall footage. I don't get it. It's my fault I guess for assuming that they were trying to "change the game" when it came to FPS but it doesn't really seem like the case. It looks like Call of Duty but you can jump now and go into mechs. Most of the footage that's come out from the beta is kind of underwhelming. I was already pretty tired of FPS since they've saturated for so many years now... but I was kind of hoping TitanFall would be different enough to get me interested in the genre again, but it doesn't look like it.

I don't know about you but I don't have time anymore to play games at a faster pace, so between the 3DS and Wii U I'm pretty good for releases. Though I understand people who complain about the droughts, but it certainly doesn't feel like an issue for me... I'm still catching up on Wii U titles, I have W101, Pikmin 3 and Wind Waker HD to finish still.

Robocss, you gave in! Yay! I just started Bravely Default today before I had to go out, it's pretty good so far!

Also I did it backwards, I had an original 3DS, got the 3DS XL and now I bought the original 3DS (purple) and I'm going to sell the XL. Screens are nicer, battery is slightly better, but I missed the portability (I take it everyday with me to work) and I miss the speakers, so I just got the original again.

@wiifan001: The 3D isn't that bad, honestly I got used to it after 30 minutes or so of playing. It's now at a point where it doesn't bother me at all and I usually play with it on in most games.

I just checked and I have 18 3DS "retail" games. If you need convincing...

• Animal Crossing: New Leaf
• Art Academy: Lessons For Everyone
• Bit.Trip Saga
• Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
• Fire Emblem: Awakening
• Kid Icarus: Uprising
• Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
• SMT IV
• Mario Kart 7
• Pokemon X
• Resident Evil: Revelations
• Star Fox 64 3D
• Super Mario 3D Land
• Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition
• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
• The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
• Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward

On top of that I just bought Bravely Default tonight, so there's that. Also it has a ton of great eShop stuff.

• Bomb Monkey
• Cave Story
• Pushmo
• Crashmo
• Gunman Clive
• Dillion's Rolling Western/2
• Mighty Switch Force/2
• Mutant Mudds
• Steamworld Dig
• VVVVVV

Then Virtual Console:

• Metroid II
• The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX
• The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons
• Wario Land II/III

This is just me looking at what I own. There's so much more. Seriously, if you're a big Nintendo fan you absolutely need to own a 3DS. It's just too good.

Also as someone who has owned both a 3DS and 3DS XL, I kind of wish I stuck with the 3DS. The XL has bigger screens, better battery and slightly better ergonomics, but games look better on the original 3DS, the speakers are better and it's far more portable.

I must admit though I find it kind of hilarious that GBA games are coming to the Wii U and still aren't available on the 3DS.

It's only disappointing because people tend to get too hyped about the Nintendo Direct's despite Nintendo basically telling you what it'll entail prior to.
