This Christmas

So this Christmas, I didn't get any games for XBox or PC. But that's not a complaint, because of this.

Bam

If it wasn't for me half expecting it, I would have been doing the whole Nintendo 64 gambit. So it'll be mainly about the 3DS. 

Well first I've got to talk about it's main feature, the 3D. Part of me wants to gush its praises because it looks so good sometimes. The other part is annoyed because you have to be at the exact right angle for it to look that good. And when you get that angle, the 3D drains the battery like nothing else and can really strain eyes. 

And this clip art explains my life up until recently. 

I don't think the battery is quite as good as the DS lite, and that's on the lowest light, no wifi and no 3D. But then again both shoulder buttons work and even without the 3D the graphics are much better. 

I played with the AR cards a bit. And, eh. Just eh, it's hard to do with the right light and right angle and it's pretty much a one trick pony by what I've seen.

I've got a couple of games, and I've got: Mighty Switch Force, Legend of Zelda Links Awakening DX, and Dr. Mario on the system itself. I've also got Harvest Moon, Tale of Two Towns and A New Beginning, and Super Mario 3D land.

I've been playing it a lot, which is partially why this took so long to do. All in all, it's a welcome upgrade and I'm enjoying the newer games and the older games on it.
