Re: The Best Mistake Nintendo Ever Made? Why 2DS Is The Perfect Embodiment Of Gunpei Yokoi's Core Principles

I had a 3DS before the 2D launched thanks to a round of ‘eBay chicken’ so I was never the market for this. But the issue I had with it was the same as the one I didn’t know I had until the GBASP: the screens can’t be folded and protected without a case.

The GBASP, the DS, and the 3DS were great - close it up, but it in a pocket or a pocket in my bag and off we go. The Switch brought this pre-fold problem back - if it’s coming with me it needs a case.

Re: Talking Point: What Was Your First Animal Crossing Game?

Wild World on the DS was my first and only Animal Crossing game. I'd heard about the game, and it was seemingly quite popular online at the time, that and trying to find more games that used the novelty of the DS wireless & wifi capabilities.

It was ok, it's not my sort of game though. I went to others towns, planted a load of foreign trees and got lots of high-sell-price, sorted the loan out quite quickly (as that was the task set), and then without a defined goal I lost interest.

Still got my game from then, and the town, and the messages left by people I played with at the time. A simpler, younger time, when we had the hours to spend sat with each other in the basement of a tea room.
