So... we got ourselves a new DidYouKnowGaming clone...


I know it's meant to be trolly, but I don't like it.

People have always been making fun of DYKG.

I think there is a Tumblr full of this kind of stuff.

Here's my favourite.

Just scored me my second legendary in Hearthstone, Harrison Jones.

Found this interesting article on IGN. If you like Kamiya this might be something interesting to read.

I love you Kamiya. Someone that I personally admire. Thanks for the link.

He's the man I wanna be.

Reading that gave a good insight into his mind, and I understand his games a lot more now.

He's fucking lucky though, he was given a job at Capcom early on, proved he was a genius at vidya and then got his own company in around 5 years.

I would reather be Tomonobu Itagaki, but Kamiya sounds like a cool person too.

There are a lot of way to make yourself feel good in gaming, but I seriously am getting way too excited playing Donkey Kong '94. I'm just feeling like a boss. No deaths until World 5 of 9 (ya'll who have ever played this will know why that's crazy), and I got multiple frame perfect glitches and tricks to save time.
Expect to see a full run of that game from me within a few weeks.

I'm going to get a 3DS sometime soon, but I don't know which one I should get. Should I get the normal 3DS, the 2DS, or wait for the new 3DS? I'm mostly getting it for Smash, Zelda, Animal Crossing, and the new Monster Hunter which I'm pretty sure is coming out in America.

Wait for the new 3DS.

I would also say wait for the new 3DS. You never know what games you might want.

I also say what the title of this song is:

What, it's been a long time since I replied with a song... But seriously, just wait.

The New 3DS, while looking like a cash grab to extend the outdated 3DS, is still something I'm going to buy.

My original 3DS's stylus is gone, and the R button becomes stiff sometimes, so I guess it would be good to have this.

Hard to think it's been 3 and a half years since the 3ds came out.

I just hope Nintendo don't do this again, if they release their new handheld in a couple of years and then release a slightly updated version after that.

That's what I'm doing. I'll be buying a Wii U and Smash Bros Wii U when it comes out, and then save my money for the new 3DS.

I think it's kinda a cash grab, but at the same time I also think it's Nintendos way of admitting they dun goofed. They released an honesty technologically crappy system (the 3DS). Games can look OK to honestly ugly as hell at time yet the 3D worked incredibly well. The problem is that it's more of a neat feature rather than a core mechanic like the Dual Screens are. Because of this I think Nintendo finally admitted they did eff up. 

You can already see the signs:
*Since the 3DSs release*
Nintendo goof 1: OK we admit, we kinda fucked up with the analog stick; that's why we've made an attachment for two circle pads.
Nintendo goof 2: OK we admit, we kinda fucked up with the size of the system; that's why we've made the 3DS XL
Nintendo goof 3: OK we admit, we kinda fucked up with the 3D on the system; that's why we made the 2DS
Nintendo goof 4: OK we admit, we kinda fucked up with the power of system; that's why we made the Super 3DS XL

Not to make this sound like a mad theory either, but I also think this is a testing ground for Nintendo. They're going to see how the Super 3DS XL sells and what the reception is. The DS itself is strong as ever thanks to the 3DS being backwards compatible whilst having it's own library. Only that but the Super 3DS XL being able to support both extends the DS's life cycle. I'm guessing that Nintendo are going to use all this information to make a new Wii U. A Wii U that is straight the point. 
It will be: 
More powerful (so it can get a strong third party library support)
Won't come with the Wii U Gamepad but instead just the pro controller
Will support GameCube controllers
Will have a naturally bigger hard drive
Will have a different design to it.
And to really showcase this machine, the new Zelda with be specially designed for it and will be a launch title. It will run on the Wii U but will look and feel better on our new machine.

So really
Nintendo goof 1: OK we admit...none of you bought the system. It isn't powerful enough to support Xbonez and SonyStation 4 games. We lack third party communications. Games run worse on it than that do on Xbox 360 and PS3. The Gamepad has no replacement and is a mandatory attachment with the console purchase. The online service sucks and we know we have little to no communication to 3DS. So here, enjoy the Nintendo Revolution/Dolphin/Core/Poop.

Just my thoughts on this. I'd also be completely happy with that.

The New 3DS, while looking like a cash grab to extend the outdated 3DS, is still something I'm going to buy.

Oh and that's quote of the frikkin' year.
