About Me

I'm mostly a retro gamer. I don't hate everything after the 90's, but I tend to prefer retro game design. I enjoy alot of indie and portable games, not to mention a blockbuster title every now and then. However, like I said, the majority of my gaming takes place on older consoles.

My Nintendo 3DS First-Time Reaction Video! jackal27 | 3:26 PM on 03.20.2011 8 comments

Hey guys! It's been almost 2 years since I've written anything on my blog, but I still love Destructoid and you guys as well. Maybe I'll start regularly writing for my blog again when my life settles down a bit this summer. Anyway! Yesterday, while visiting my fiancee's parents in Houston, I got to try out the Nintendo 3DS for the first time! Of course, if you know me, you know that the DS was my favorite console of the last generation, so I was totally pumped. I video taped my reaction and did kind of a little mini-review. I also recorded the reactions of my fiancee and her mom. We were all pretty blown away by it and I thought that I would share it with you guys. So yeah! The 3D is pretty much perfect. It's hard to explain it in words. You really have to see it for yourself! I believe that I will be picking up Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, Rayman 3D, and Super Street Fighter 4 when it launches. What about you guys? What are you picking up at launch? What was your first reaction to the 3D? Should I bring back my "Sound Test" and "Game Run" segments? You rule Destructoid!
