I'd probably think a little differently if I had the money to build a library again. The games I really like I'd want something more permanent than a digital copy which can vanish at any time.
Oh, I just looked. Mine is a DSi XL.
It's more like, when you turn, it feels like you are going backwards for a few seconds while the space opens up in front of you. It's like you're flying on the far left of the screen, then you turn, and now you are on the far right of the screen. There's a moment where you seem to drift to the right. It's hard to explain, but it makes me feel like I don't have control of the ship.
When it was first bandied about, I was totally against it. "I'm not giving up my physical games." I said. Now I'm totally on board. I think it was that Microsoft had day-one titles from their first-party studios in Game Pass, That did it for me. Game Pass has already saved me money this year.
I feel bad for physical sales, but I can't really afford them right now anyway. Plus, I like the ease of having a game ready to go at any time without putting a disc in.
My friend Mark, though, is still deadset against it. I tease him about it now. How things have changed.
Interesting. I'm hoping I can either upgrade my laptop to Win10 or just get a new win10 device to play those games. I'm due for a new laptop or PC. It's just about a decade now on this old laptop. Actually, it's exactly a decade. I bought this thing Auguest 2009.
I wonder about phone games. I heard Microsoft made some deal with Samsung recently to get MS software on Android phones. It'd be cool if I could play some phone games through Game Pass. Maybe they're working on that?
Ultimate includes: Gold membership, which gives you online play and several free games every month; Game Pass, which is a service that offers 150 games to download for free; and PC Game Pass which lets you play any PC compatible title in Game Pass. I had Gold and Game Pass before. Now I just added the PC stuff too for the same price. I'm going to try something on my old laptop sometime soon and see if it works. I'm guessing it'll require Windows 10 though.
I'm enjoying my DS. Nice and simple.
This game makes me think of Scramble and how that game frustrated me. At least in Vanguard you can shoot in four directions.
I heard a Colombian guy won the Tour de France. There used to be a blogger here from that country. Too bad I haven't seen him for a while.
I loved my 3DS and will get another one someday. I needed the money. I've played a bunch of those downloadable games and liked them all. Street Pass was fun too when there were people to street pass with. I used to go to places that had the hot spots too and get special Miis from Nintendo people. I loved the 3D camera in it too. I only wished I could upload my pics to the internet somehow.
At some point I'm going to get my 3DS XL again and a bunch of games for the permanent library. I'm catching up on DS games instead at the moment.
