Oh mai! This is one of my few blog entry titles that isn’t a lame-freaking corny title referencing something else. lol I mostly did so because I have a specific theme going on with today’s entry. This past week I had a few ideas that I enjoyed and I felt it a good idea to commission a few of my favorite people to execute on these ideas. The theme? 3DS! Yes it’s been nearly a week since it came out and I thought to commemorate that, I could get some funny Bu comics.
My personal review for the 3DS will be reserved for at the end of the entry. Lets just start with some art! First is a new image from my pal, MTCopyright! <3

The total organization of the comic structure made for a perfect thumbnail. LOL XD As you can tell before clicking the thumb, Dragon-Bu is less than impressed with the power of the 3DS. Here he is, as made by MT, playing Super Street Fighter IV 3D. He is a big fan of the series but this one isn’t winning him over. OH how does he learn that the 3D is better than he thought. XD; I am guessing it’s Ryu? I adore how MT drew little chibi-style Bu here. The middle (thumbnail) panel is officially coined as “Skeptical Bu Face” which is awesome, right? And are you wondering why he has a red 3DS when all they have now is black or blue? Because he is special, that’s why. :D So I am happy I thought of this, and doubly happy for having MT make it, and also for her roomie, Kuri helping with the speech bubbles. Thanks, guys! <3 It has been posted HERE! It’s been awhile, but more stuff from MT coming in the future, keep an eye out!
Up next, I had one more comic idea, this time created by my good buddy, Sablechan! :3

Haha, this thumbnail is a little less mysterious, I guess. But still very funny. Now Bu (I guess in an alternate timeline from the pic before this one) gets Pilotwings Resort for his new red 3DS! Again he is unimpressed with the 3D levels on the machine. Little does he know how powerful it can beeeeeee!!!!!I love the starfish there! Haha. Hey, he wanted a tropical getaway, he got one! I think besides Bu’s expressions and the wonderful colors, I love how Sable added Bu as the in-game character. So clever and adorable. X3 I am very happy with how this turned out. I managed to find good concepts with the same punchline for two games. I could probably do this with a BUNCH more if I wanted to. lol But maybe I shouldn’t. Beating a dead horse and all. Thanks a bunch, Sable! <3 You can see it posted on his blog HERE!
And now, to finish off the entry today, lets get more Sablechan goodies!!
Sketch created by Sablechan
This is the third of four sketches that Sable made that day on livestream which never saw a finished product. Though I do believe it was the first image. He has pants on! That’s… very rare of him. XD I love the pose and his expression too, it’s very lovely and too bad it’ll never see anything beyond this, but I hope you can enjoy what was done simply as is. :3 Dig those wings, baby! Thanks for the sketches, Sablechan! *hughug*
Now I think I have been exposed to the 3DS enough now to be able to give an informed opinion on the system. It’s….. good! I like it. Now the 3D actually works, but it has limited visual range. Not much tilting left and right before it starts to mess up the effect. The 3D is something that will take getting used to and may hurt your eyes at first, but after prolonged exposure to full 3D, I’m used to the effect. Give it time! But the best addition for me is the analog stick! It’s a very helpful addition. The internal things, like Mii creation and AR games also rock. The web browser and online shop are not available until May, which blows. The ability to take and view 3D photos is really exciting as well. I think the worst parts are the battery life (weakest with wireless AND 3D on, it’ll die within 3-4 hours), the crappy launch lineup (more good stuff coming soon!) and the price ($250, pricey compared to previous DS and Gameboy launches). I do like it. If you have the DSi, you might be able to live without it for awhile, but it has exclusive games and I only had a non-lite DS from 2004 before now, so the upgrade was warranted. I suggest trying it out and making your own choice, but I do recommend, especially if you like 3D and future titles.
Whoo! Talky talky I am tonight. I’ll cut my review there, and I’ll say goodnight for now. Expect more awesomeness next week and beyond! I hope you all enjoy the weekend. For now I am gonna relax and play my 3DS. LOL Ah me…. Anyways, thanks for checking the blog out! <3 See you soon, take care. ^3^
Lol, your eyes need to get used to it mo_o be carefull with those eyes of yours >_>
Awsome comics, the first one being the most amusing one, i love Bus face expression and Sablechan art always looks sexy even if its not supposed to be sexy °A°, hes really good at comics!!!! And the sketch….the finished lineart makes me want to see it fully colored x3
I am glad the 3DS thingy is good. I dont see too much use of 3D in such small system but the visual upgrade was a good thing, i see the Mercenaries 3D last trailer and looks soo pretty 0o0…………..too bad i am not going to get it xDDD but i am sold for this small system already anyways thanks to MGS 3 >_>……
I’m pretty used to is already! Thankfully.
I agree! The first comic is all cute and the second is really just Bu looking slick. >:3 But both have tons of humor! :D
Yeah I am iffy on Mercenaries 3D. It’s such a lazy idea for a game. I own the game already, technically. I might get it for a demo of that new original RE game they’ve been talking about! And yes… MGS3 D: *wantyes*
The brand new RE with the strange-face-Jill is deffinetly worth it!!!! Too bad i made a promise to never buy a system for RE ever again D: but once i get my 3DS, the RE Revelations is going to be my first game *_*
That’s good. X3 You don’t have a regular DS, right? I wasn’t sure but I thought you said you didn’t. Could be wrong. XD
Well it’ll be cool to see you have it then. We can trade friend codes. X333
Just say you are buying it for MGS then because then it’s not you breaking your promise. lol
Lmao, just makeing sure i am getting long before the MGS release date and with RE as a plus
No i dont have a DS, tougth i always wanted one, for me it have much more interesting games than the Wii D:
Haha XD True.
I love my Wii but the DS rocks as well. I think you’ll like having a DS. You will have a library of 1000s of choices when you buy one!!!
OH No! Bu is advertising aspects of the 3DS that don’t exist!!!! XD I love the Ryu one! That was really cute. A lot of people are sitting on the fence with this system. I don’t think I will be getting it till Kid Icarus and Mario come out. The Mercs looks good, but I already have 2 versions of that game on PS3 attached to Resident Evil 5. While I love it, I don’t find myself playing it as much as I did when I unlocked it a couple weeks ago.
I like Street Fighter, but not enough to buy it on a hand held with reduced graphics and static backgrounds. There is just a huge warning light that goes off in my head when I heard there was no animation in the backgrounds. It’s actually put me off buying the system till there is a much larger library. That’s a scary limitation to have right out of the gate. It gets me wondering what other limitations this system has.
But they DOOOOO exist. The 3DS 3D is THAT good! X333
I know a lot of people are iffy on this system, but I know once the lineup of games stops sucking butt, it’ll be a hot item like the Wii and DS before it..
I didn’t know about the background with SF4 3D. But of course it is a portable cartridge game. I heard those things currently hold 2 GB of data and that game pretty much maxed out the cartridge, so all things considered (and I hear it’s technically not bad by portable fighting game standards) that’s pretty cool if those cartridges can do even that much. Or so I feel. :3
