3DS: Too soon?

Possibly the worst feeling thing to ever grace my hands.

     It’s a simple question when you think about it, and this blogger bets Nintendo may not have thought long enough. My opinion is that 3D is cool but not there yet. I can’t believe I just said that, as I’m one of the most stereotypical early adopters in recent history. Yet, the one tech even I decided to wait on was 3D wether it be in movies, tv’s, or even gaming. Last year I played Motorstorm: Apocalypse at E3 and Sony had their best 3D Bravia Tv, newest Playstation 3, and a pair of 3D glasses. After 30 seconds I was sick to my stomach; this just reinforced what I had already thought about the tech. It simply needs more time. I decided as a consumer I wouldn’t buy in until it either got better or went glasses free. That same year at the same E3 Nintendo unveiled the Nintendo 3DS, and I played it and it was good. Very good. The demos were some of the best games on the market and I was genuinly impressed by the 3D I saw. Clearly everyone was on the band wagon and I too needed to be. I decided the 3DS would be my introduction to the 3D world. I was fine waiting until Nintendo showed everyone how to do it right.

Pokemon Black/ White: Too little and way too late

     I know what you’re going to say, “Hey, Pisko, didn’t Pokemon B/W come out in March (Ed. Note years ago, btw)? What took so long?” Well, I’m glad you asked Johnny Everyperson! I work 40 hours a week and [this blog] isn’t cool enough to get advanced copies of games yet so I’ve had to put 80 hours on a portable game in my spare time. That’s right, my “finished” game clock is 82:34 and I put finished in quotes because as any Poke-veteran knows you can NEVER be done with a Pokemon game. With that being said I have decided not to so much “review” the game in the traditional sense because if you are reading this article you either 1)Already own Pokemon B/W and/or 2) Have read plenty of reviews by guys who had early copies and therefore posted their articles WAAAAAY before me. What follows is simply a collection of thoughts from a seasoned Pokemon master.
