what console should i get? the options and their games! (in colour: those exclusive to this console, no including consoles i'm not intending to get like the xbox360)

wii ($240+ with one game!)

zelda: skyward sword
super mario bros
smash bros
rock band (beatles edition or no)
mario kart
super mario galaxy
rayman origins
bit trip

pros:

• cheap
• games i'd probably enjoy are exclusive to this

cons:

• not many others play
• low res graphics
• atypical games (no skyrim etc)
• wii u coming out in less than a year?

ps3 ($350+)

ni no kuni (upcoming)
uncharted
skyrim
just dance 3

pros:

• lots of people play this
• many mainstream games
• the Move sounds good
• HD

cons:

• quite freaking ex (console, games, accessories...)
• no nintendo games...
• i'll possibly not enjoy all the mainstream games!!

3ds ($200+)

layton v ace attorney (upcoming)
layton
ace attorney
mario kart 7

pros:

• cheapest
• very fun games and quite affordable too
• handheld
• can possibly buy a home console along with this..?

cons:

• i don't really like 3d especially if it'll make me giddy
• got camera unlike my old ds lite --> no bring into camp --> only play on weekends
• already have a ds, so the marginal benefit is not huge
• no gba backward compatibility

will update the list of games when i get more!

Gaming intro kthx:

I am 14 and from Singapore. I am noobish. I have a PC and a DS Lite! Yay!

Currently playing: Pokemon Emerald, and New Super Mario Bros. I play roms, lots of them! GBA and SNES lah.. just to "try out" the games. Lol.

I shall be using this blog for... tracking my gaming progress and commenting on games I've tried! Please read on.

Currently:

- Pokemon Emerald: chose Treecko, now it's a lvl 3X Grovyle. I have 5 badges, just before Weather Institute now. Other Pokes include the usual: Gardevoir, Manectric, and Gyarados (which is controversial. But heck, it looks cool and I need something good in Attack, since my other Pokes are dominantly S.A.)

- New Super Mario Bros. I AM STUCK ON THE VERY LAST LEVEL!!! Call me noob, but this is freaking hard... I dunno. The level looks huge and I keep dying. Can't wait to complete the game and finally unlock the ability to save after every level!

Yep, that's all. Read my review on Advance Wars II, thank you! It's the one written by mootmash, as if you haven't figured it out already. Truly, it's a great game. Even though I haven't finished the game XD and I'm playing the ILLEGAL rom! I'm evil!

Shall be posting my top 5 games, in a bid to get this blog really started. Meanwhile, comment about my games. Or recommend me good DS games! Please!

What caught my eye:

- Pokemon D and P (must have!)
- Advance Wars DS (should be great, looking at the GBA)
- Fifa 07 PC (PC owns the DS version, for the same price)
- Animal Crossing DS (multiplayer looks FUN!)
- Hotel Dusk (looks like a credible mystery portable game!)
