A trip down lonely lane:
You ever had the feeling you experienced something "the wrong way"? Or that you just saw something in a light that was so out of the ordinary you even consider that maybe everybody else is lying?
Today, March 27 of 2023, Nintendo officially closes the 3DS eShop and having revisited my console to grab some games before the end, I thought it would be nice to share a little story.
Setting the stage:
Picture this: You are twelve, facebook is still the cool place to be online, and you just discovered you love video games, more especifically, you love Zelda. You just played Ocarina of Time on an N64 emulator on your crappy family computer and the trailer of new Wind Waker HD is pure eye candy.
I want a piece of that Nintendo fun - You say to yourself. You start to browse online and you discover two things:
The first one is the value of money. With how devalued the currency of your country is, you simply cannot ask your parents to purchase a Wii U for you.
And the second is that the Nintendo 3DS is fucking cool (And a lot cheaper than a Wii U).
Does the 3D effect really work? - Your parents are concerned, your dad is a TV nerd, and every 3D television required glasses.
Of course! - You reply, confident in Nintendo's marketing - They wouldn't lie about that, it's Nintendo!
