  Why I been having more fun playing My Wii

  So has you can tell by the title of this new entry. Yes, for the past couple of weeks or month I should say. Yes, I own a little close to 100 PS3 games between disc and download, my Wii has been getting a chunk of the gametime. Why you ask? I'm not sure why, I just feel like there has been games that I have been needing to finish. The Last Story, Xenoblade Chronicles, Sin & Punishment Star Successor, and MadWorld to name a few. Notice how I named games you may or may not heard before. Two highly acclaimed Japaense Role Playing games. A very fun action beat em' up brawler and probably one of the hardest rail shooters I've ever played. I own twenty two Wii titles that serve enough to me play. Again, I haven't played my PS3 in a month. Last time I played it was when the Sir Hammerlock DLC came out for Borderlands 2. Yea, that long and I haven't even finished it let alone really ripped into it. That is fine to me, when the time comes you will see me on PSN and XboxLive. As far as my Xbox is concerned, I play my Xbox to play exclusives. I.E. Halo and Gears. When you see me on there, I'm just on YouTube app or my Xfinity app to watch videos, TV Shows and Movies. Now where is this so called part where you think I have more fun playing my Wii instead of PS3 & Xbox360. Well, I'll tell you my friends. Reason why is because I realized that I have tons of game that are very fun to play. For example, Animal Crossing. I have been a fan of the series since the beginning with GameCube. One of my personal favorite Sim games next to The Sims. Not only just Animal Crossing, Donkey Kong Country Returns, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Super Mario 25th Anniversary brings me to my casual gaming sense. Those games I love them because they are fun in yet can be challegning at the sametime. Now when I want something on the line of teen rating and higher. The games that hardcore to my personal opinion which are The Last Story and Xenoblade to go back from the start. But, I also have of course Metroid Prime trilogy, MadWorld, Sin & Punishment, Resident Evil 4 (best one of the series just saying). And of course Super Smash Bros. Brawl arguebly on of the best fighting games of this day and age of gaming. Now look truly to me it is OK to have and own a Wii. I'am big Nintendo fan, I love the Wii always have since I first got in 07. Starting with Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. There is nothing wrong in owning a Wii. I believe that, if you know what games are you into, you will find the game that is perfect for you for the Wii. You like shooters, Metroid Prime and Goldeneye (the remake for the Wii) those are perfect for you. JRPG's look for Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and soon to be released in North America Pandora's Tower excellent JRPG's. Causal and Party of course Mario, Donkey Kong, and Mario Party. So what I am trying to say since playing my Wii for about almost a month, I have been a blast playing it. Makes me love it more and remind me its still hella fun to play. When will I play my PS3 and Xbox again, I'm not sure. But, I'm in no rush to play it. I have games I have never finished yet on Wii so the hours I am putting into the Wii. I am truly enjoying and I couldn't ask for the best twenty two games that I am playing over and over again. Thanks for reading and I hope you can see what I am trying to say. Message me for questions and or suggestions for the Wii or Wii U. And always leave your postive or negative comment below and I'll see you guys next time.

  3DS 1st Year Anniversary

  What a year it has been for the little handheld that is the 3DS. Wouldn't you agree? Dispite having a slow launch and a couple of months with drought and nothing really moving the 3DS. Nobody could ever imagine that in just less of year that the 3DS could make a huge turnaround. But, I believed in it, sure that there wasn't no Mario or Zelda at launch and I was slightly disapointed myself. But, I buckled down and dealt with it. I bought my 3DS on the launch day of March 27th, 2011. I was so happy to get it. The games I pre-ordered was LEGO Star Wars III: Clone Wars (which I still have), Super Street IV 3D Edition (the only major reason to get a 3DS at the time), and Nintendogs & Cats French Bulldog and Friends (for the Husky and I love that game). I was hooked and most of my friends were all jelous of me at my college that I had one already. Everybody wanted to see the 3D and how it really worked. Being a sales associte for a certain retail company (not saying). It was hard to pitch a sale or pre-order for the 3DS and convince people about the 3D graphics and the fact it plays 3D with no glasses. I didn't see it in person but I knew what it would look like. Whoa and behold when I got it, mind you, my eyes didn't hurt, I wasn't complaining or anything I was very impressed and amazed how it worked. First time seeing it I was like "Whoa that was awesome!" My old manager was like that was cool but the 3D was messing with his eyes (I really don't see how 3D can mess with peoples eyes, I'm still trying to figure that out). But, moving on to the games. Not of Nintendo's strongest launch line-ups. I will say for the Nintendo only games I was only leaning towards the Nintendogs it was more of third party games I was leaning on like LEGO Star Wars and Street Fighter IV. I was disapointed in that from Nintendo, but, I digress I was still supporting the handheld. I was still selling them quite well even though it had the $249 price tag on it. Kids were all excited to see my 3DS and they wanted to play them. It was pretty cool to see them light up when they actually got to see it. Then comes the drought for the 3DS sales were slow and price was to high for people to buy. I was happy when June came around because that is when the eShop launched. But there really wasn't anything there for me to buy. E3 2011 comes around and I was excited because I knew that Nintendo was going to talk about the eShop more for the 3DS and more games (First Party games to more specific) also when to expect them. It was also during the time when there celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Legend of Zelda. The 3DS eShop game to buy at the time was The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening DX. I bought that game during the press conference I was excited to play it. And giving out the Legend of Zelda Four Swords for free. Also by firmware update the 3DS got the interent browser and eShop with a free download for a limited time 3D ****cs ExciteBike. Then one more major games that people wanted to buy was the release of Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D. I was excited, my most favorite Zelda game in my hands on the go. I played it so many times and still holds the longest gameplay time in total also. With a little over 53 hours. After E3 sales were still slow, so Nintendo dropped the price on the 3DS worldwide. For people that bought there 3DS at launch were given the oppertunity to become special 3DS Ambassadors by getting 10 free NES games like Super Mario Bros, Metroid and Legend of Zelda. Also 10 Free GBA games like Legend of Zelda Minish Cap, Fire Emblem Scared Stones, and Metroid Fusion to name a few. I was even more excited cause I got mines at launch and I thought that was just a great idea from the Big N to give the people what they really wanted. Star Fox 64 3D came around and I was like yes childhood relived once again. Now were coming into when the Circle Pad Pro was announced I was like what is that? Then read about it and thats when I wanted it. The fact that the other circle pad was to use as mostly a camera function I was like, SOLD!!! Oh yes, Novemeber. Novemeber was the month that saved the 3DS with the release Super Mario 3D Land. A game that was amazing to have, I love that game I was super impressed with the visuals, the 3D effects and how 3D depth can make see things that aren't there. That game, we couldn't keep in my store thats how fast it sold. Next month came Mario Kart 7 I was like yes, I love Mario Kart, played every single of them and loved them all. That game also had a good 3D effects also. The eShop was also growing during the time by releasing amazing eShop games like Pushmo at the end of year and great Virtual console games like Super Mario Land, Donkey Kong, Kirbys Dreamland, and Tetris. Now January comes around and it was kinda slow. But, Febuary comes and what do we get... Resident Evil Revelations as well as the Circle Pad Pro. I procrastined on buying it launch cause I waited till my girlfriend to buy me that game for Valentines Day so I never bought it. But I have one now and it works so good also. I love that device. Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D also came out the following two weeks. A great game with added features to enhance gameplay also Circle Pad compatable. March 23rd, 2012 was the best day to say go and get Kid Icarus Uprising and a 3DS. That game was longed talked about for years from Nintendo. Back then it was code named Project Sora. E3 last year showed us that it was Kid Icarus which looked amazing and fun. Which the game is go and check out my review on it. And that my friends was a quick overview and review of the 3DS in a year. There is still more to come for the handheld. Like Mario Tennis Open, we are still waiting for more news on still other 3DS titles such as Luigi's Mansion 2, Paper Mario 3D, Fire Emblem 3D, Kingdom Hearts 3D, Animal Crossing, and a few others. Lets see what the 3DS can do for the year 2012 and beyond. I'm hoping for the most amazing to happen. Thanks for reading.
