Hi,

Been lurking this site since it started and figured I might as well register finally.

I've been going by the online name of Hoodbury for a short while now (2008ish probably), it was my alts name in Lord of the Rings Online and then I chose to use it over my more LOTRish name my 'main' used. So Hoodbury has stuck and seems to be a universal name that works for different games and genres.

I'm 29 years old and have been gaming on Nintendo consoles from the NES in 1987 and every console since. I skipped the handheld market for the most part but I do have a 3DS now and am really impressed by it and enjoy it a lot.

I just sold my Wii last week along with all of it's games to start my Wii-U fund, so now I am consoleless until the Wii-U comes out. So basically, I am hoping for a sooner rather than later release date, heh. Until then though, the 3DS will keep me busy.

I had a lot of fun on the Wii, but as time went on, I started to get a bit more and more upset that it wasn't getting 3rd party support. Call me the most crazy Nintendo fan you've met, but I kind of grew away from Mario and Zelda. Most of my Wii gametime was from the Call of Duty games and Monster Hunter.

I tried a PS3 at a friends house a few years ago, and I just couldn't handle dual analog sticks anymore. I actually really like the control and feeling of the Wiimote and nunchuck even for Call of Duty and Monster Hunter. So even though the new tablet controller looks cool and spiffy, I might just end up using the Wiimote and chuck more often than not if possible.

I guess that's me in a nutshell. Can't wait for e3 and for the console to actually release like the rest of you.

Nice to see a member who has great trust in the Nintendo side of things..well done on making your entry into the handheld gaming with 3DS, hope you're enjoying it! Only gonna get better

Nintendo know how to stay in the game. I know, as much as I'm sure you do, that they have plenty of great ideas and plans for future. This forum is great to share expectations as well as worries, so hope you feel at home!
