I'll just start off by saying that this blog post really doesn't have any direction or purpose. I've only been awake for a pretty short time right now and it's a Sunday. I mostly just felt like writing a blog today, I guess the content really doesn't matter as I'm the only one who reads these anyway.
I'm going to start off by talking about my current obsession, the Nintendo 3DS. I've been lusting over this system since it was first announced this past summer at E3. I haven't been this excited over a system in a really long time. Funnily enough the 3D aspect is probably the least exciting to me. That's not to say that I'm not excited about the 3D, but there are other features that I'm looking forward to much more. The connectivity aspects alone would make me buy it. Street Pass and Spot Pass sound like the coolest thing I've ever heard of in a portable game system. I think I watched the announcement video for the 3DS about a dozen times so far, the girl in it is actually pretty hot too. I like the fact that they're marketing it as a device that you bring with you everywhere you go. The tag mode on the DS was kinda lame and impossible to actually connect to someone randomly. It was really something that had to be preplanned with someone else if you wanted it to work. The charging cradle seems awesome too and so does the AR card games that come with it. I just wish that they would finally announce a launch date and price for it. The only thing that makes me sad is that this is just another step away from my favorite system of all time, the GBA. I do wish that they had continued to make Gameboys but I guess that the DS is the future now so there's not much to do about it.
I'll quickly touch upon the rumors of the PSP2 also. First of all I think a sequel to the PSP could be cool. They made some mistakes with the first PSP that really kept it from meeting it's true potential and I'm somewhat excited to see what they'll do next. However, with that being said, I think that the idea of a PSP phone, if the rumors are correct, is very stupid. I personally wouldn't be willing to switch cell phone carriers and get another phone just to be able to play games on it. I like my iPhone just fine and when I get a new phone it's going to be a new iPhone, not a PSP phone. I think that if they make this new system a phone then they're really going to cut their potential market in half. I'm sure i'm not the only one who wouldn't be willing to get a new phone just because it has the PSP name on it. I guess I'll just wait and see what happens when it's finally announced officially.
Lately I've been playing the Ace Attorney series a lot, I'm trying to finish the entire series now that I own all of the games. It was actually semi tough to find some of the early games. I've also been playing World of Warcraft lately, it's a lot better than it used to be years ago when I last played.
That's about it for this blog, it actually ended up being fairly lengthy for something that had no direction in the beginning. Well, until I'm finally playing Animal Crossing in full 3D, now you're playing with power!
