Imo this is the greatest 2d platformer of all time and it plays as fluid as any modern titles coming out. Alot of you probably grew up on minecraft and shooters so I'm curious on what you guys think about it.
Aw I mean the GBA was great too, I just think the NDS had a really practical size, a good selection of games, unbeatable battery life, and honestly the graphical capabilities were quite respectable. Plus the two screens and the touchscreen allowed for some really fun gameplay. I loved Pokémon as a kid (still do tbh) and the animated sprites in Black/White are just soooo good, so much better than the 3D models nowadays.
Oh and something the newer consoles don't do anymore: Backwards compatibility! You could still play the GBA games on the NDS.
