That’s the eternal question many of you may be asking, should I buy a Nintendo 3DS right now or should I wait?
Well, that depends (obviously) on your economical situation and other factors, but let’s see which are the main advantages and disadvantages of buying a Nintendo 3DS right now
Yet another leak for the ASUS ROG Ally X points towards as much as 8 hours of battery, but how does that compare to the competition?
Honestly, I really like this updated version. But it doesn't solve the biggest flaw that the original had for me: the Z1 Extreme APU. Yes, it's an extremely powerful part, but it is not part of AMD's Adrenalin driver update program, so it's dependent on Asus for driver updates. And unfortunately, Asus doesn't have a stellar record of support for their devices.
Up to 8 hours basically just means the least demanding games. AAA gaming at highest wattage would probably be about 2-3 hours which is good compared to just about 1 hour with the current ally. The OLED Deck can do about 2-3hrs.
They used to be the best when it comes to motherboards, now I will never buy anything from them again.
Nope. The only improvements I want to hear is better customer support. Otherwise, I can't be bothered.

il beat you to the ski-lift,
framerate on snowboard kids was shocking, do you remember./?
talking of shocking framerate and kart racers style games,
Sony had a gem on ps3, with 'Modnation Racers' but again, framerate was so terrible, still fun though, indeed, when is drifting sideways not fun, the answer is never. we have not seen enough of that game, technically some people made race tracks/games in dreams and little big planet etc, but its just not the same,!!! grrrrr
morning rant over.
here, relive some ,memories. https://www.youtube.com/wat...
The load time on ModNation where also excruciatingly long... But man oh man I wish that game took off more, so much fun! Could turn off garbage rubber banding, I had karts with 100's of stickers to design some crazy cool stuff, custom tracks. Fantastic undeappreciated game
Some food for thought:
Would you donate your physical copy of a really rare/expensive cartridge (Conkers's BFD, Bomberman 64 Second Attack, Ogre Battle 64, the two Castlevania titles, etc) to those managing this project for the greater good of getting them preserved online for all to experience at some point?
As long as it meant they never took money from Patreon and invited a DMCA takedown / lawsuit by Nintendo to take it all away. After seeing the whole debacle with Yuzu I now question how long any of these teams can maintain game preservation efforts through emulator development, or otherwise.
Is it realistically needed though I would not personally give anyone my old carts for games that are already persevered and easily available online
The snippet of ray tracing at the end of the og trailer was low-key amazing. I found out thanks to Nerrel who also made a texture pack for MM, and i can't wait to see how much more great this game will be in the near future. With model swaps, ray tracing, retextures, and a more quicker process than decompilation, it's gonna bring new life to N64 games.
There might need to be a bit of clarification recompilation is not the same as decompilation.
This is basically a container to excite the rom within but allows for all sorts of beat additions and tricks like new lighting effects such as ray tracing to be added.
But decompilation would ultimately be king as it allows for a widespread porting capabilities and uses the assets from games to build a native install for PC or whatever the target system is e.g Mario 64 for PC or sonic mania for psvita / wii
Ridge Racer DS was part of a campaign to have the Nintendo DS' touchscreen redefine input, with mixed results.
I bought it, loving SSFIV and Ghost Recon and all the features that come with the thing can make me wait till May when we get the eShop then only one month after that we get Ocarina of Time and The Mercenaries.
Why would anybody buy a 3DS when the NGP comes out later this year? With all these problems with the 3ds. This handheld is gone to be flop. I hope Sony is watching the mistakes nintendo is making. I don't want the NGP to fail
Strictly speaking it's always a good idea to wait for a console to settle in. Paying 599$ for a PS3 was eventually worth it, but it didn't fully kick off before the price was dramastically lowered. Waiting for the competition to arrive would of course be wise if you're considering both, but if you're really enthusiastic to get your hands on the 3DS then go right ahead. Nice article as it does say pretty much that.
I'll wait until I see if there is any game I would play on it, I want to see more about Mario but haven't heard anything.
Plus not really into the 3D on the 3DS.
I have a 3DS.
You should all wait. Not only do I not play in 3D anymore, but I'm back to mostly iPhone games.
It's a good system, but it's not worth trading in an older DS for yet.
I'm selling mine to a friend. I'm just tired of playing rehashes. : /
NGP is reserved and I couldn't be happier. ^_^
