@am_h8ter_ade: I will also say A Link Between Worlds was fantastic. I havent enjoyed a Zelda game like that in years. I will check out some of the other games you mentioned that I havent played yet seeing we have similar tastes so thanks for the reply. Im glad to see the 3DS have such a positive rebound from launch.

@am_h8ter_ade: I definitely agree with your post. The N64 is the last console I truly loved and I am your age also. I just feel that after that console generation games became mundane and once internet gaming came to prominence, online play trumped originality in the actual game...

Out of curiosity, what games for 3DS have sparked your new found appreciation?

I would definitely pass on Luigi's Mansion. As an adult gamer and a Nintendo fan there is an amount of childish content that I expect and can deal with. But Luigi's Mansion was off the charts kiddish. I couldnt take it after an hour or two playing this game. If you can fit the correct wooden pegs into the board without thinking too hard, I would pass on LM.

@jaysonguy although I generally feel you are a deuche I think if you articulated what you were trying to say in this thread a bit more delicately you may just have a point.

Wait a minute, let me get this straight... you dont think they will do much for what you call "dead consoles", but they are porting to the vita? Does anyone still make games for that joke of a platform? You are just a hater bro

Seriously this is the best you can describe regarding your experience with the game???

TC I went through almost the exact same thought process (minus the family admittedly). I think its a potentially great console. Price is decent and the controller is awesome. Its a breath of fresh air over the perpetual sword fighting that PS and MS are doing. The graphics on WW HD blew me away. Not sure why I would crave something more than that if the gameplay is also great.

I feel as though momentum is picking up for the WiiU, especially after the monstrosity that is the 3DS of late. It will only benefit all of us WiiU owners as more and more people jump aboard. Enjoy

Its a great zelda. I usually do not finish zelda games but I couldnt put this one down until I beat it. Its hard to find depth in handhelds IMO, but this does it. Great game you wont be disappointed.

@ItsEvolution:

I agree. For whatever reason people just like to kill Nintendo on the internet. At least they are trying to be different than xbox and PS (which lets face it are essentially the same thing).

And talk of a failure? Lets talk about actual failures, eg the PS vita. Funny how no one talks about that...

Pardon my ignorance on the matter but are there really that great of improvements of the xbone vs the 360? Im more of a casual than core gamer but it seems to me that its pretty similar at least in terms of graphics and features...
