@itsnitro I think that was everyones reaction to Prime 4, even though they only showed the logo

I'm excited but I heard another company besides Retro Studios is making this one. Not sure if that's good or bad.

I'm really excited about the new 2d Metroid which is going to be a remake of the original Metroid II for Game Boy! Maybe it's time to get a 3DS XL like @obsidianspider did.

@backstander Prime 4 is being worked on in house by Nintendo.

If you buy a 3DS, hack it

[obsidianspider]

@backstander Just make sure you don't get one that was a part of the ban wave and you're good. I'm really liking my "New" 3DS XL that I bought on eBay. I don't know that I'd pay $200 for a brand new one, but for the $97 I spent on my lightly used one I'm happy.

I second this. I was hesitant, but I'm really glad I did and it was very straightforward.

[lilbud]

@obsidianspider I just loaded my 3DS up with GBA games for vacation, beat Metroid Zero Mission and am starting Advance Wars.

It used to be a pretty involved process. I'm glad to see it's been simplified. I might try to pick one up sometime soon.

Metroid Zero Mission and am starting Advance Wars

Great choices. Those are two that I've actually gone back to beat multiple times.

[obsidianspider]

@mediamogul As long as you're not on 11.4 it's really easy. If you're on 11.4 it's possible, but you need to jump through some hoops. A 128GB Micro SD card, charging cradle, and USB to 3DS charging cable were the essential accessories for me. I use this thing daily.

[obsidianspider]

@lilbud GBA games seem to be a bit slow for me, but they're playable. NES, GB, GBC, Genesis, MAME2003, most Neo Geo, and most SNES games run really well. I haven't tested much beyond that.

[lilbud]

@obsidianspider I'm not using a GBA emulator, I'm using native GBA emulation

[mediamogul]

@obsidianspider

Do you make use of the 3D yourself? I always hear a ton of people say they turn it off, but from what little I've played first-hand, it seems like it works really well.

[obsidianspider]

@mediamogul I tried it, but either my eyes don't work right, or maybe it's the low light I often play in, but it doesn't seem to work totally correctly for me. I usually leave it off.
