Is it worth getting the DSi? I like the idea of internet but are there any games that would make it worthwhile?

This. Huge library of great games and a DS Lite can be had pretty cheap nowadays. The DSi isn't really worth it at this point as it offers little over the DS Lite (I can't think of any worthwhile DSiWare). Same goes for DSi XL, unless you absolutely need the larger screen (same resolution though).

I'd also have a hard time justifying $170 (XL) on a system whose replacement is less than a month away, compared to the $60 DS Lite. The 3DS has a Game Boy Virtual Console though, if the classics matter.

At this point I just want to play pokemon so I may go for the DS lite in the next few weeks. I don't need no fancy shmancy 3D.

I've been really enjoying Radiant Historia. It's been fun so far and the music, art style, and story just make it even better.


As for getting a 3DS. I won't be getting one anytime soon since i'm poor, but i'll get one eventually. I like Nintendo's handhelds and it looks like this one will have some amazing games down the line. Also, I want to play Ocarina of Time in 3D. :laugh:

but why woodelf!?!?!?!?!?!??!! do you want to get owned by the [censored] water temple for the tenth time?!!?!?!??!?!?!?!


i keed. i keed. i want OoT as well.

The older I get, the more difficult that temple becomes. When I was 9 I breezed right through it, but I tried it last year and it took me forever to get through it. (The hardest temple for me when I was 9 was the Shadow Temple, I was scared. :sadvaultboy: )

I'm going to try and try again until it's easy like it was back then.... also, becoming lost in 3D water temple sounds fun.

hopefully they added an extra key. jesus christ that was a pain.

Really it's just a ds that allows you to download certain games on the service, many of which are underwhelming in my opinion. I would say save yourself a couple of bucks and get the DS light, though you can go all out and get the 3ds, but to me the dsi was a waste they tried to market before the 3ds came out.

I might consider it to carry around Ocarina of Time with me, still one of my all time favorites.

I'm surprised at the amount of people who are interested in OoT. I mean, haven't you played it on N64 already, or got it from the Wii Virtual Console? I can honestly say that I have no interest in OoT at all, as I already have the game.

I have it on Nintendo 64, and I'm pretty sure I have a Master Quest GCN disc laying around somewhere, but it'll be nice to have it on a newer system, especially one that I can take on the go if need be. I also just like having the "definitive version" of games, as well as their originals, and OoT 3D looks to be about as good as it'll ever get sans a full on remake.

I'm also a svcker when it comes to my second favorite game series of all time.

its kind of hard to connect an n64 in the car or a gamecube for that matter. at least i will have OoT with me everywhere i go


and like wingus, im a svcker. It would be cool if they would release all the zelda handhelds in a game like the oracle of seasons and ages.

I'm gathering that the system seller for the 3DS is OoT... a 10+ year old game. Forgive me if I don't understand, wouldn't you be bored by now if you already beat it on N64, GameCube, and Wii?

I guess Nintendo's business model works, but it makes no sense to me to re-buy the same game on every new system that comes out.... :unsure:

Well doesn't that just blow chunks.

Won't be getting one at all then I guess. :shrug:

It was originally thought that Ocarina of Time 3D would be a launch title and consequently gained considerable hype, though I'm sure it would be a popular one regardless. I'm not sure I'd call it the system seller in the sense that it's the one game people want for the system. I think it's just the first game to come along that garners your attention, much like any of the "must have" launch titles for other systems. In retrospect a lot of launch "killer apps" weren't all that killer. I imagine it'll play a similar role as the Mario 64 remake did on the DS.

Besides, Nintendo's business model isn't really to offer the same people the same games over and over. Miyamoto has said on several occasions that revisiting and updating the classics is more for new fans than old. Long time fans buying the same game multiple times is just sort of a byproduct.

I want one, sure, but I certainly won't get one at freaking 250$. That's too expensive for my blood.

Not really.

I guess we have different opinions then. I love my nostalgic games too, but I still own them so I'm not gonna buy them again.

Innovation > stagnation

I never owned OoT, I just borrowed it long term from my cousin.

Not getting it. Essentially it's a flashy gameboy with nice, but otherwise useless features. It is inferior to a console in terms of the machine itself.
Taking a long bus ride? Read a book instead of spending 2000 NOK on a plastic box that barely doesn't fit in the palm of your hand... Useless.

The definitive version is the one that can be played on the big screen Arguably the GCN version as it plays in a higher resolution than the N64 version (as do the Wii version) and have support for vibration (which I think the Wii version do not).


How often when you been everywhere you go have you been thinking "oh my gosh, I sure wish I could play OoT right now!" instead of chatting with your friend or whatever you do when you go everywhere you go?

The real question is, how many times have I not thought that?

Nah. I'd rather my eyes be working properly hurt them with the 3DS. I already have bad enough vision as it is.

Most definitely. I'll be getting any new games like a new Mario Kart, and I even heard a portable version of Ocarina of Time was coming, so I'll get that for sure.

You know the 3D has a slider right?
