My 3DS is now my platform of choice (At least until August)

Well as some of you already know, my birthday was yesterday and I've been busy spending birthday money. Most of the money came from my bank account but I did get $50 from my mum and $30 from my daughter. I tried to talk my wife into letting me buy a Vita but was shot down almost immediately. So I made her buy me new 'phones for 50 bucks and picked out another 50's worth of stuff on my own.

So what did I buy?

Well I got Ni No Kuni for $30 last weekend. Other than that my purchases have been 3DS related.

I picked up New Super Mario 2 for $25, and two copies of Pilot Wings Resort for a fiver apiece, I already mentioned I bought Soul Hackers recently and today I picked up Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D in a deal that will see me getting $10 off Animal Crossing: New Leaf next month so that's cool. I also preordered Shin Megami Tensei IV for July 16th. I'm really excited for that one.

Today I also picked up a $20 eShop card and downloaded Crimson Shroud and Starship Damrey.

All in all it looks like I'll be spending a lot of time on my 3DS balanced off with Ni No Kuni on PS3 and maybe some Metal Gear which should please GH.

Anyway with this work thing going on I have a backlog of 71 friends blogs to sift through. Please forgive me if I do not comment on your blog. I love you all equally but I'm old and I tire easily. LOL

Happy belated birthday! I think GH might have skipped town or is sneaking about. I read a comment where he said he doesn't feel like blogging anymore. That makes me sad. I don't blame ya on sticking with the 3DS. Microsoft ain't looking too good right about now lol. Tongue Out

Yeah I have absolutely no interest in Microsmurf's new offering. The only thing positive I have to say about it is that it's going to save me a shitload of money not buying it. LOL

happy birthday, man!  the 3DS is great now.  I want a vita too, but it's just too expensive.  unfortunately i have to shoot myself down about that. 

how is new Super Mario Bros 2?  I don't have that.

'bout what you'd expect from a 2d Mario and by that I mean it's fun.

My wife actually saves me from myself. I'm too fucking compulsive. Ok maybe games and stuff are not the end of the the world but I'd be dead now if it wasn't for her so it's not so bad. :)

You ol... Aw Hell we love you too Man.

Tanx Larry!

I'm gonna be sooooo mad if you don't comment on things I post recreationally that are often not even adherent to the subject of video games, and that you may or may not be interested in.

I hope you are forced to play Superman 64, you old bastard.

Posted on May 27, 2013 12:06 AM

Nobody should be forced to play Superman 64. That is cruel and unusual punishment.

Happy (quite) belated birthday!

I have a 3DS and like it a lot.  I need to buy some more games for it, but I've got a nice collection of DS titles, plus a few I've purchased in the eShop.  It's a keen little system, isn't it?

Also, I've got my Friend Code on my page if you're interested.

Posted on May 27, 2013 12:00 AM

Definitely interested in friend codes Caesar. I love my 3DS

Posted on May 26, 2013 8:29 PM

Picked up a bunch of great title, manmoth!

Oops. Dyslexia. Anyway, I preordered Shin Megami Tensai 4 last week, too. Those first printing incentives got me. Got Project X Zone, so 3DS is going to be my platform of choice for the summer as well. Going to download Animal Crossing as my first attempt at the series, because it might make me addicted and need it on my system at all times. It's going to be tough to find time for the consoles, much less another handheld, so I think that your wife probably did a good thing in shutting you down.

But new shiny toys are so cool! I've been shooting myself down repeadedly as well. I take a lot of convincing.

If your are going to be crossing with animals give me your friend code. I think that Cary and Nicole are getting it too so we can all do nothing together. LOL

I've been thinking about Project X Zone as well. Oh god, the wallet pain. :)

Posted on May 28, 2013 12:13 AM

Yea dude I love doing nothing. We have to go on some tours together.

Posted on May 29, 2013 12:13 AM

gimme yer code then Pat!

Posted on May 29, 2013 4:36 AM

I messaged you :)

Belated happy birthday wishes!

With so many 3DS games coming out in the near future, I'd better keep some money set aside so I can get at least a few of them.

Posted on May 27, 2013 12:05 AM

This is going to be a great year for the 3DS. I expect it to continue dominating for most of the year.

Posted on May 27, 2013 2:02 PM

Happy belated birthday! Nice grab on Ni No Kuni; $30 is the lowest I've ever seen for it. I bought it for $40 but it's a good buy no matter what. I'm still enjoying my Vita but I'd like to buy a 3DS someday.

Posted on May 27, 2013 10:58 PM

I would like a Vita at some point but there's too much coming out for the 3DS at present. I really want P4G though.

Posted on May 27, 2013 11:50 PM

Happy Birthday!  Have a power pellet!

Maybe we can play Animal Crossing together!

Posted on May 27, 2013 11:56 PM

I'm counting on it Cary. C'mon June 9th

Posted on May 29, 2013 12:14 AM

I thought I'd already added you but I had to do it again. You're on there now.

Posted on May 28, 2013 12:22 AM

Take your time,Peter. lol. I will not hold it against you if you're late dropping by. I've been rather preoccupied myself so no hard feelings,chief! Ni No Kuni looks wonderful! Man I wish I had the means to play that game. Luckily I'm starting Ys 7 for the psp which is an rpg I've wanted to play for a REALLY long time.

Posted on May 29, 2013 12:01 AM

Ys Seven is really good. I'm sad that I didn't finish it.

Posted on May 28, 2013 11:08 AM

Happy Belated Birthday man!

Posted on May 29, 2013 12:05 AM

Thank you sir. I've been alive a lot longer than many people thought I would be. Shows what they knew. LOL

Posted on May 28, 2013 6:22 PM

two copies of pilot wings resort? I wonder what your planning...and happy late birthday. I feel you in the age department.

Posted on May 29, 2013 12:04 AM

I figured at 5 bucks apiece I could sell them for more. I played a bit of one of them it seems like fun. Thanks for the birthday wishes. I don't feel any older.
