Comment on 15,000 Retro Gamers Voted And Chose The Best Retro Handheld Of All Time
Strider@lemmy.world 3 days agoInteresting, thank you!
Since I’m no Zelda fan there was no pain there (although I collected the games for my collection). I have fond memories of all 3 DS Castlevania games.
I do recall the tacked on stylus rune crap but that didn’t leave any lasting impression. Still, I agree!
Prime hunters as well as Mario 64 have crap control, full stop. At that point I’m even more angry at the 3DS for getting analogue control (with ‘new’) and then not using it! (kid icarus)
Anyhow, thank you for elaborating.

You’re welcome, thanks for letting me vent! The 3DS repeated the sins of the DS and added their whole new gimmick. And yet again, it trapped an EXCELLENT Zelda game (Link Between Worlds) on the system as well as the 3D Mario Land (I don’t recall the exact title). I had decided not to bother buying one even though the Zelda game is the sequel to one of my favorite games of all time, but my friend gave me his when he got one of those larger XL models so I picked up the aforementioned Zelda and Mario. I quickly saw why he got the larger model, my hands cramped using those teeny tiny controls. It now belongs to my daughter, so it worked out, but it’s funny, I still have a working OG Gameboy and GBA SP and those feel fine to use. Nintendo just lost me with their controllers. Even now, I only play the Switch using a Sony DS controller using the 8Bitdo adapter. Their first party controllers are nigh unusable to me.
