It has come to my attention that I’ve not touched my 3DS since I reviewed Ridge Racer 3D, and this makes me very unhappy. The Streetpass function is useless here, the collection of Play Coins feels like a waste of time, and Nintendo released the system two months too soon to keep its investors happy.
Meanwhile, I’m worried that I’ve gotten over the 3DS before the truly great games have even arrived. Way to deflate any and all hype that these games could have had.
While I still want to love the 3DS and I have no doubt that more hot games are coming, I feel like my excitement has been totally punctured by a release that was far too early and I’ve gone back to playing iOS games. What about you lot, though? Are you still finding it compelling to collect Miis and are you yet to be bored by the launch lineup?
We’re curious as to whether anybody else has gotten over the system and have similar concerns that by the time more support arrives, they just won’t care. Maybe you’re still enraptured with it and run no risk of your hype dying down anytime soon. What camp are you in?
