Okay, so I've had a New 3DS XL, my first ever handheld, for more than 3 months now.

I've played Monster Hunter 4, Ocarina 3D, Starfox 64 3D, Mario 3D Land, Resident Evil Revelations, Kid Icarus, and Ironfall.

But whenever I play, I just can't stop thinking "this would be so much better on a proper screen, with a proper controller". The tiny screen and the tightly clustered buttons and sticks just gnaw at me.

No matter how good the games are, I just don't think the handheld experience itself will ever be my cup of tea.


I feel exactly the same way.  Imagine how many people would have paid good money for Majora's Mask or OoT remakes on Wii U in full HD with dual analog control.  Huge missed opportunity.  I hope that with Nintendo's next-gen platform, the split of resources and games between handheld and console is gone, and both platforms just get everything.

I have long since outgrown handhelds.  I just don't want to play anything on one.  Maybe if I was traveling constantly I would feel differently, I don't know.  But I want to play games on console, in full HD, with a dual analog controller.  That's what I prefer.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
