Wonder if some of this is people not playing their steam decks as much anymore? I remember there being a surprisingly significant bump in Linux useage when that released. A lot of handhelds kind of have a honeymoon phase before collecting dust on a shelf, and maybe getting picked up again if you have a long flight or something, and then returning to the shelf.
I’m leaning slightly towards the normal Duo, for versatility. I’m starting a new job soon which will require a lot of sitting in airports and planes, so a lot of time to try out different games.
But I’ll probably wait for a review on the Duo first, even if it means taking a while to get one. My new 3DS is still holding in there for now lol. But thanks for the input!
This seems like a great chassis, with a woefully underpowered SOC. That said, it has me excited for the non-lite and the lite plus.
I’m still torn between those two tbh. On one hand I’m drawn to the flat back of the lite plus, on the other the oled screens of the non-lite. For the vast majority of games I play on handhelds I really don’t need analog triggers, but idk, maybe it would be fun to play some old racing games? But the vast, vast majority of what I play is jrpg’s, mostly turn based. So for that, the analog triggers don’t matter at all. Decisions
Losing EVGA was a sign of the times ahead.
Not that the times then were much good either
Ah, yeah tbh I forgot that was the first that wasn’t turn based. I just remembered loving the characters, plot, and environments.
So guess the battles were so pointless I forgot about them. Maybe after the success of Expedition 33 square enix will bring back turn based. At least as an option? Please?
If you ever get the itch, I thought XII was better than X. But if you didn’t like X, you almost certainly won’t like any of the XIII series or XV. I haven’t played XVI or VII remake yet
And yeah X-2 was pretty bad. Of the ones I’ve played I think I’d only put XIII-2 behind it
Interesting to hear about how the DS was perceived in china, and how much more popular the PSP was. Also DQ9 is a great game, very cool how much effort was put into the Chinese translation.
Closest thing I have to an interesting DS story was when I took my DSi apart to paint it like the new 3DS Ambassador consoles. I killed the top screen at some point in the process, so had to get a replacement and disassemble the console and feed the ribbon cable through again. Quite the pain, but it worked and I enjoyed the finished product. But less than a year after that I just bought the new 3DS in white and got knockoff ambassador faceplates. Love the look of that system. So the DSi has been collecting dust, but I’ve been regularly using that 3DS ever since.
