Poll: Minecraft or a 3DS

[Krinku]

Minecraft if you're looking for a more creative experience and building TONS of crap(seriously you will never run out of ideas once you figure out how redstone works)

I mean come on you can't play the new paper mario on minecraft.

Sure you could, if you have an imagination and another person who would be willing on multiplayer. Heck you wouldn't even need two people. In fact you could play paper mario and then some since you aren't restricted to the game mechanics/storyline. You can make it that Paper Mario travels to space with an armadillo and a monkey in a track suit in order to face the dreaded king Zuulogue of the planet of Macadamia in order to not only rescue that ball and chain we call Princess Peach but to recover a lost treasure that can assist in curing the land of a debilitating disease that's not only killing the plants and wildlife, but is also making the people of the Mushroom Kingdom ill. (And yes I just made that up.)

I challenge you to create it and put a youtube link in this thread. Otherwise it can't be done.

For that matter anyone just quote me so I can see it. Or explain it to me I've because i've never played minecraft. But making a whole game on it seems a little farfetched. And the one that fits into the best series ever for that matter.

Minecraft, it'll last longer than the 3DS.
Especially once Vita comes out later this year.

You really need to start researching this topic if you're that dead set on it, there are tons of game recreations in Minecraft. If you don't believe me, check out a couple of these guys' videos:


And there are plenty of Pokemon recreations:

Spoiler: Unova region recreation and explanation

There is also a currently in progress, but playable version of LoZ: OoT, and there's even a whole LoZ minecraft community out there.

As for uploading a minecraft video, I really wish I could, but there are two problems with it:

1. I don't have a video capture device
2. I don't have minecraft yet.

Granted, I have played the game, just not on my computer. I'm debating whether or not I should buy a cheap laptop solely for minecraft and save the laptop I'm currently using for work and school-related stuff. So yeah, Minecraft is a sand-box that gives the player the tools to make their own adventure. Want to make your own Zelda adventure starring you? Just download a map and have fun. Want to have a medieval experience and ride unicorns into battle against the zombie horde and dragons? Just download the map and mods and have fun. You can make countless adventures for only 21$. And if you want to start over, just load a new slot and start over. Heck you can have the same kind of adventure, but this time you could be the villain. The possibilities are endless, and you aren't limited to a story or plot line. And all mods that are downloaded are for free on the official Minecraft.net forums.

And if you want the 3D effect, there's actually a way you can do that on your computer.

This guy explains (among other things):

Now these are just my opinions, but I'd rather get 100 hours of creative euphoria for only 21$ than paying over 300$ for a system and a few games (that I have already played many times over on their original consoles) that will be the same no matter how many times I restart it. (Plus I already have a DSi XL and I love it. It plays my pokemon games and OkamiDen on two really large screens. So I can say goodbye to teeny-weenie eye strain-o vision, and headaches forever.)

And if you would have read my original comment, I wasn't telling the OP to NEVER buy a 3DS, I was just suggesting that he/she waited until the thing dropped a little in price and had a good amount of games out for it that wasn't just a reboot of a game. And in the meantime they could have plenty of fun playing either Minecraft or Terraria.
