Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Re: Nintendo 3DS - What a Craz...

First and foremost, I like the clamshell design of the console itself. To me, that is portable gaming. I feel the same way about the GB SP. I wear cargo pants a lot. That design easily goes into the pocket with ease. I know the switch has a touch screen, but it might as well not have one at all. also I find it not as sensitive as the 3DS screen. It is not utilized at all, at least it is not used in the games that I have for the console. I know that it is a gimmick that was poorly used in a lot of the early games, DS, but there are certain games that it worked very well in the gameplay.
I also like the increased processing power that showed in a lot of its games. The 3DS seem to be the next step in gaming especially the "NEW" 3DS that really was not taken advantage of during its short life. There are just a lot of good gaming in its library that I really enjoy.
edit: and I really got into the fact that I could pull it out and take a 3D picture wherever I went. Love the camera feature on these things. Yeah I know it was poor quality, but it was still a thing.

Yes it is good quality. The mock up cover is made to look authentic until you look real close.
And the movie is in B&W which I am glad. Did not want the color version. These are some of the shows I watched before cutting the Disney+ service recently. I am no longer paying for any streaming service at the moment. I am presently focusing that money toward physical media.

I kept watching my Wife play Bejewel 3 and I was liking the gameplay more than what I had, "Bejewel Twist."

Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 25, 2026, 12:33:43 PMNICE!!! you know what... I Think I still need to buy Black Widow. Need to double check that it is or is not in the collection.
and I'm glad you posted that the Werewolf By Night is very bootleg @retro junkie. I would have been searching for that relentlessly stating "retro got it... why can't I find it!?!?"
Is it good quality?
The movie we really want to buy but cannot is Fly Me to The Moon with Scarlett Johansson, Channing Tatum, Woody Harrelson.. etc. I know... I've mentioned that a few times.

Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Re: Nintendo 3DS - What a Craz...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 25, 2026, 12:28:41 PM@Grindspine --> It definitely was cool on Mario Kart 7 (I have a lot of fondness for this 3DS Mario Kart), Metroid 2, OOT and MM. Animal Crossing had some neat aspects to this as well.
@retro junkie those are awesome 3DS consoles. I have the Blue one as well. I believe that was Gamestop exclusive? Maybe not... but I remember going in to Gamestop and picking up another 3DS lol. I'll post up a picture of my 3DS (not XL) Zelda that came with Ocarina of Time.
The 3DS was an awesome platform... I have the same "strong feelings" for the 3DS. I had a lot of good times ... especially multiplayer with my son. When I would drop him off at school... we would play Mario Kart DS (and I believe 7) here and there just having fun before he went into school. We played Animal Crossing New Leaf a lot... amongst other games. I had the pleasure of being able to play 1 awesome night of Zelda Triforce heroes with my Son and 1 other random person that was trying to play online... It was one in a many chance that occurred because so many people weren't playing anymore.
Why did you like the system so much? Same for you Grind?

General Discussion / Mortal Kombat at the Olympics
Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 22, 2026, 05:56:57 PMLOL did anyone see this? I only saw it because it was a top story on one feed. It looks like they did a Mortal Kombat Skating routine... with original 2 Unlimited Mortal Kombat song.

2 Unlimited was a highly regarded Techno style group back in the early 90's. Here's the original:
IMO... it was pretty cool they did this at the Olympics. It was cool to hear 2Unlimited again as well... it's been a long time.
What do you think? Thoughts, comments, post it up!
