Holy Busy-ness Batman!

I haven't update in over a week and that's due to a number of awesome and not so awesome things.  First off we have Dragon Age 2 which has consumed a HUGE chunk of free time.  Then we have the launch of something truly special the 3DS of which happened this past weekend coupled with over a dozen titles.  Out of the gate Nintendo has already claimed some titles of which I'm sure there will be many more to come as we start to see the bigger games get released.  For those of you who have yet to see it - it begs to be seen to truly be believed. 



I would've purchased this console without the 3d effect as without it we simply have a DS2 or DS360 so to speak.  The 3d effect does a couple of really great things for Nintendo.  For starters it really encourages any user to share with friends and family and making it not only a system but a conversation piece.  I've had many conversations since Sunday with everyone asking me "How does it work?!"  "This is AMAZING".  I haven't met someone who hasn't had a smile on their face the first time they experience it. ^.^



Personally at this point the most exciting part is the future potential that will come of this.  From a game play perspective and from an ability to create a freshness for a series that has never been experience before.  I see it as a great shame if some of the biggest publishers and developers out there don't take advantage of not only this opportunity to really bring back older series but to allow new game ideas flourish using the 3D in new and interesting ways.



Something happens when you finally look away from the 3DS after you sit down and play it for a bit.  You start to wonder why everything isn't in 3D.  What an interesting future we have in store for us.
