Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Nintendo 3DS - What a Crazy In...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 04, 2026, 09:53:09 AMI was thinking about this in the Pairing Collection thread... What a crazy invention the 3DS was. I know the 3DS 3D effects caused headaches for some players and others could not perceive the 3D effects. Even I limited my exposure to the 3D effects... just wasn't sure about it.
The Nintendo DS (Dual Screen) was cool... but then a 3DS (3D Dual Screen) that presented itself with the capability to show you 3D games without glasses or any other devices... that's pretty cool.
My 1st exposure to the 3DS was Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. I bought the 3DS bundle with Ocarina of Time (OOT, remember that old acronym?) badged system. Speaking of badged systems... I miss those old themed systems. You just don't see that anymore... or at least it's been awhile Switch wise (all other consoles don't seem to do it). Back on point, it was a bit mind blowing to see this... in 2011 too.
Honestly, I didn't use the feature that much... it just felt a little funky while using the 3D (eyes/head)... but it was awesome at the same time that they achieved this. What experiences did you have? Try to come up with the positives as well as negatives.
Thoughts? comments... post it up!

Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 04, 2026, 07:42:09 AMNo one saw this film? If no one checked it out... it's definitely worth a view. It is on Prime right now, not sure about other services.

Retro Gaming and Hardware / Re: Metal Slug on the Sega Gen...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 04, 2026, 07:32:42 AMYeah... I definitely break out Metal Slug as well on several different consoles. Even the 3DS version of Metal Slug 7 is pretty awesome.
I agree @Grindspine ... this looks really good, especially for the Genesis. I'm curious on if there are any slow down parts of the game or if they worked those out as well. The original Metal Slug had some spots of slow down

Not sure yet. Will have to look at my collection. I've honestly forgotten what I have. I do know I have Ocarina and Majora's Mask. I'll probably finish MM before I sell it, if I decide to.

Since it's not my main form of gaming, the carts are not getting use. So I'll probably start getting rid of those as well.
3DS hardware is spiking in price. Maybe I'll sell it now while the going rate is high.
Which titles are you looking to get rid of at this time? Everything?
you know... it didn't used to be my form of gaming. However, 3DS... Vita... and others really became my form of gaming over the last 8 years-ish.

PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Re: PC RAM Prices Are Now Insa...
Last post by CreepinDeth - February 02, 2026, 10:33:24 PMI've seen this argument before and I do see it coming almost true.
Recently a Jeff Bezos talk from a couple of years ago resurfaced, and in it he mentioned that the future of computing is in the cloud. Not surprising since he owns AWS. Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, also recently said similar things. Not surprising either now that they have their GeForce streaming service.
What's happening with the hardware shortage and AI is similar to what's happening in other consumer markets.
There's been a rise in consumer products that have built-in subscription services. Like, for example, cars. Features are now starting to get locked behind subscription models. Appliances are also doing the same thing.
The economy has basically become a system of extracting as much as companies can out of everyone's wallet while we own as little as possible. Not just in the U.S. but pretty much around the world.

The PS2 is a keeper. It plays PSone, PS2 games, CDs, and DVDs.
The PS3 is a keeper, as it plays PSone games, PS3 games, CD, DVD, and Blu Ray discs.
Yeah... that's a great point @Grindspine - I am going to get rid of my PlaySTation 4... if anyone is looking for one, please let me know... it has an upgraded drive. Otherwise, I'm going to sell it off pretty soon. It's time.
I have a PS3 that has the hardware to play PS1, Ps2 and PS3 games. Then the Ps5 which also plays PS4 games. Right now, those 2 systems are not on the sell list. Man... I'd love to go back to the early 2000s to hear what you guys would have to say about me stating the above with the Sony systems LOL
I would've got so much crap back then LOL.@retro junkie yeah... I saw those posts... I guess I meant to say "more" of the releases. IE I doubt they are planning them all. It WOULD be cool if they had a Samurai Shodown RPG in English lol as a part of that.
