2DS?

Maybe. My first reaction was kind of a: "what the..." but once I got to thinking about it, its actually a pretty darn good idea. I was once that kid who wanted something badly but couldn't afford it, this is perfect for little kids, which is who Nintendo loves the most ain't it? With a lower price, and no 3D, this thing isn't too shabby. Especially if you consider how often you play in 3D. I don't know about you, but I spend less than 5% of my total 3DS time playing in 3D. It is unnecessary. And, as a matter of fact, if I didn't have a 3DS aleady, I would buy the 2DS.
So yeah. It's nifty. It's sleek. I like it. Great idea. Keep being great, Nintendo.


HEYHEYHEY

HEYHEYHEY! It's great to be back. Back in the Saddle Again. (Check out that song by Aerosmith) So school kind of was eating up more time than I was expecting, so I've been out of it for a while, but don't worry yourselves. I'll be posting 1-2 times a week throughout the year. Starting tonight with my reaction to the 2DS!!! Yes. That is a real thing. SO I'll see you all later tonight!

Pikmin 3 Review

   First off, sorry for the long delay. I was at a camp, but when I came back I immediately began playing through Pikmin 3's various gameplay modes. Now, I've got a review for you!

   I am going to start off with the Bingo Battle mode. I tried this once, but I disliked it very quickly. I am normally a fan of one-on-one games, but this I never really liked for some reason...
  On to the Missions. Missions have three different categories which are:
      1. Collect Treasure
      2. Battle Enemies
      3. Defeat Bosses
   I found all three modes equally enjoyable and very useful for training myself before entering a difficult area in the story mode, but what about that story mode?
   Story mode was a blast! With five different types of Pikmin and three captains at my disposal, multitasking was made easy with the Wii U GamePad, and on the later days when I was collecting up to 6 fruits a day, this really came in handy.
   Overall, I really felt that Nintendo really tried hard on this game, and it shows. The game is fluid and looks stunning (As I was hoping it would after being delayed for nearly a full year). I've seen good reviews all over the internet (and you're about to see another one) with only a couple of sites looking down on Pikmin 3. But my final verdict is...
