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 am the exact same way. I need a big screen, better sound and better controls. I've owned tons of Nintendo handhelds and while they're all good, it's just not my thing. I honestly don't understand how people even get INTO playing something as engrossing as OOT or Resident Evil on a tiny little screen. To me, it kills any and all immersion.
