I put the 3DS in the drawer and decided to try something different in the control department. I pulled out my DSi XL (as I don't like playing regular DS games on my New 3DS-for my eyes the resolution doesn't make the games look great on the 3DS screen) and fired up Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. I played Phantom Hourglass but I hated the controls. I recently picked up Spirit Tracks as I liked the premise (and lack of the same timed dungeon you had to go through all the time) and I wanted to try the stylus control. I gotta say, I'm enjoying the ride (no pun intended) so far. I just got the Forest Track Tablet and saved my game at Whittleton after getting turned around trying to find Gabe in the woods. For whatever reason, the combat is clicking for me and I'm liking the ability to switch between being Link and controlling Zelda to possess things.

If I get through this I might just get Phantom Hourglass again to add to the collection.
I didnt know there was anyone who didnt like SMW. To me its a masterpiece. The game is a little more accessible to me than SMB3 was. I have a hard time with some of the Bowser levels as well as the final world in SMB3. The nut things you have to keep jumping on to move along the bolt always trip me up.
