Poll: Minecraft or a 3DS

[XMark]

I wonder if Notch is going to consider porting Minecraft to the 3DS? That would be freakin awesome.

 

[dogenzakaminion]

3ds

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

Someday...someday.....

OT: I'd say get Minecraft because the 3DS is a waste anyway. If you want a time killer get a normal DS. It's cheap now, and there are billions of great games for it.

 

[Kevin Lyons]

Well

3ds. if ds stood for duel screen then 3ds means triple duel screen which is a cube, which means its is a gamecube, which means its is the greatest handheld of all time.

Uhhh... Am I the only one who had a problem with this reply???

And my answer is to buy both. If you have enough money to buy a 3DS, you might as well throw $20 toward Notch for Minecraft!

If you have an older copy of Oot then what do you need a 3DS for? oh right a headache... Nah i'd just retro it. Heck the gamecube stuff works on the Wii anyway.

whereas minecraft allows for endless creations and a huge, friendly community to interact with.
plus as people have said its something like $180 cheaper.

Minecraft is only fun if you can make your own entertainment, so I prefer 3DS. Though I don't have either.

 

[MajoraPersona]

I suggest both. I'd say I have both, but they were sold out of Ocarina of Time and don't know when the next shipment's gonna be.

 

[TheDudeMan14]

Minecraft. It's free.

 

[GaryH]

I'd rather have Minecraft than a 3DS. If you're of the mindset to enjoy that sort of explore/build/survive gameplay then Minecraft will give you far more enjoyment per pound/dollar than the 3DS will right now.

I'd wait for the 3DS to get some more titles first and get Minecraft to keep you going until then.

for me this is easy minecraft i got shown the game a couple of weeks ago by a friend and with in a couple of days i bought the game and i love every single block of it


question for minecrafters: have you noticed that cacti clocks are bigger then any other block (mined and floating on the floor)

I would save the money for the 3DS with all it's current flaws and wait either for the 'lite' version (+more titles) or get another handheld.

 

[Sixcess]

Minecraft. It's become a phenomenon for good reason, and if you 'get' it then you'll consider it the best game you buy this year. It's genuinely unique and is one of very few games that I'd unreservedly recommend to anyone.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Minecraft is one damn game.

A 3DS is a system with backwards compatibility. But lacking many games of it's own at the moment.

I vote DSi. Or DS Lite. Or DS Phat.

 

[SimpleJack]

Fuck Nintendo.

Buy Minecraft.

 

[Double A]

OoT isn't out yet. I don't see how they're in the same league. Sure, they'll both take up your time, but the price tags are ridiculously different.

My advice is get Minecraft now and a 3DS after a price drop. Also, if you're smart, you would just get Dwarf Fortress, which is so much more fun than Minecraft. It's the bestest game evar.

 

[zombie711]

Well

3ds. if ds stood for duel screen then 3ds means triple duel screen which is a cube, which means its is a gamecube, which means its is the greatest handheld of all time.

And my answer is to buy both. If you have enough money to buy a 3DS, you might as well throw $20 toward Notch for Minecraft!

do you have something against the gamecube, the console equivalent of a teddy roosevelt, bruce cambel, Samuria Cowboy Hybrid?

 

[Pumpkin_Eater]

Minecraft is a smaller and safer investment. Go for it.

 

[Deverfro]

Well the games I really want for the 3DS aren't out for a while, but if I could design something fun to make, then I would get minecraft.

 

[Balobo]

i would just say minecraft because its about 400 dollars cheaper than buying a 3Ds and games

I'm not sure that the OP is considering buying every 3DS game.

It's about $400 for the 3DS and two games. It's $20 for Minecraft which is guaranteed to entertain you for centuries.

EDIT: Wait, you just finished college? You'll really want that $300...

It's about 320 dollars for a 3DS and two games.

Just get a 3DS. Don't listen to the poll, get the 3DS. People saying that Minecraft has more replay value than the 3DS don't know what they're talking about, the 3DS has multiple titles, it's not a single game. Minecraft's replay value runs out after you realize you've done everything you want to do.

I guess eventually I'll settle if Nintendo absolutely doesn't see it necessary to make another version, but they always do. I just never get the first batch of anything. I always see those products as the practice batch.

Yeah, the current 3DS works, but what if they do make a better one? Suddenly I'm stuck with a touch screen smaller than the DSi's and the battery life of the Game Gear (that's a joke).

Doesn't always work to my favor. I'd like to have a PS3 that was PS2 compatible, so instead I have to have the PS2 set up.

The 3DS has a smaller touch screen than the DSi because the games will focus less on the touch screen and more on conventional controls. Also, the touch screen is only slightly smaller than the DSi's. The battery life is an issue, though.

Get terraria on steam. I prefer it to Minecraft and yo actually get regular updates with USEFUL stuff. Comparison, last minecraft update: Lots of bugs, a map(not even very good) and a trapdoor. Last terraria update, 30+ new items, like 10 new enemies and better world generation. Also Terraria is 10 dollars compared to minecrafts 20. 3DS probably has a lot of good games, but if you have a comp already, why sink more money into another device.
