I remember waaaay back when this blog was full of people commenting on every post on the blog, and people trolling(Yes, including me.. sometimes XD)
Too bad the blog went down :/

Man.. You stick with 3DS in the early days when People all around didn't have any faith on 3DS.. Now look at 3DS.. Going strong with great games..
Thanks man
Dude! I've been reading this site since literally the first article. I don't think I've ever missed a post (obsessive, I know), and I'm really disappointed that your closing it down...i guess you gotta do what you gotta do. See you around!
P.s.- mynintendonews.com is also a good source for Nintendo news.
Hey David.
You really have done an amazing job with the website. Also, I think that it's awesome and noble of you that you used your online presence to help thoae in need get access to clean water.
Also, I know it's your website and you're probably aware, but just in case it may have slipped your mind, I just wanted to say this. Wiiublog.com is still up. I've been wondering if you were going to take that down sometime too.
Anyway, the main point is that you've done a great job, and I'm going to miss the way that you report 3DS and Wii U news. I wish you the very best in your future endeavors.
I'm sad to see you stop writing about the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U ;( I hope you find something even better to do though! by the way, would you start talking about the Wii U if the sales go up? Mario Kart 8 seems to be selling really good. Also the Wii U seems to be selling more because of Mario Kart 8! anyways, best of luck to you.
and yes the 3DS has been slow with news and there's nothng but negativity about the WiiU. But I'm still confident in the console, especially with Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros. I just hope they stop with the shovelware. They're the ones hurting people's trust in the WiiU's potential.
Anyway, with my final ranting asides, remain blessed, brother. :)
oh well you've had a good run, David. I'm sorry to hear about your medical issues and I'm sorry you also had to deal with the haters out there who criticized your blog. Even though there has been some quality issues and time constraints with the news, bottom line is you've done all your very best to bring and keep this blog alive and I applaud you for it. It's through your blog I've made a few 3DS and Wii U friends, including you. And yes we can't all please people. I know that for a fact cuz I'm a writer myself. I wish you all the best and God blesses you in your next adventure. Chris
Sup David! I haven't commented on here in a long time but I still continued to visit your blog daily. I'm going to miss this blog but I understand that the 3DS has been out for a while and not much has been going on to report about. If you're planning on making another blog for the next handheld then I look forward to seeing a another awesome blog! See you around David! Hope everything goes well for you in the future! :D
Well, I was expecting this to happen sooner or later. The lifetime of sites like these are typically directly related to the lifetime of whatever it is they are reporting about. With all honestly, if you wish to continue the blog, your best option would be to broaden your scope from simply 3DS news to Nintendo Handheld Gaming news. This way, you are not limited to a topic with a limited life cycle (unless Nintendo discontinues their handheld business, which is unlikely.
But, good luck to you.
Well Ciao David! It's been a good few years following you in this blog. It saddens me to see you go, but I'm guessing it's for the best. I had good times when the blog was more active and I don't regret my time here. I hope you find something you'll enjoy. Good Luck!

wow, it makes me sad, david
this is the 1st 3ds blog ive subscribed to and promised to look everyday
this blog is like a daily newspaper to me....
well, good bye David!
1 question: if nintendo made a 3DS's sucessor, will u make another blog too?
Man, this blog was great in the good times, had so much activity, arguing, jokes, trolls, funny coments and everything, but all has a life cycle, like the other blog that I visited before this one, now I´m moving to espal3ds, anyways, greetings to everyone.
Oh well, we all new this time had to come, however i guess we really didn't want it to. I remember when i first discovered this blog back in 2010, it was when i first saw rumours about the 3ds in a london toy store, and i rushed to my DSi to find information on it, but i couldn't find much, except for on this blog. As the launch for the 3ds drew nearer and nearer i remember i was checking this site every hour or so for new information, and even into 2013 you still had some good stuff, but i guess that all the real interesting news for the 3ds has dried up and now we just wait around for the next e3 for all nintendos new info, especially now that every other site covers news on it and the console wars have completely overshadowed anything remotely 3ds based. I always found it funny how there was so much hate for the 3ds "the 3ds will fail!", "the 3ds is less powerful than the ps vita!" "ps vita will supersede and beat the 3ds in the portable console wars!" "the 3ds is just a gimmick! it'll never take off! expected to fail! yada yada yada". Who would have guessed that a year after it's release that it would be super popular, and more common than the so called "predicted superior handheld"?
I really think you should start up the wii u blog again, especially around e3, i have a feeling nintendo is going to announce some long awaited for titles, i really think you ought to cover them, even if it's just for those 3 days.
In 3 years time you might also want to cover nintendo's next handheld console, that would be a cool idea i reckon.
But enough sappy nostalgia rants, it's sad to see this blog go but it's time to move on i guess. Good luck in the future David, and i hope you cover nintendo's next handheld as well :)
Wow...this was a surprise. Made me feel a little sad, really.. You probably don't remember me, but I've been following this blog since it's beginnings, although I was rare to comment. I had faith in the 3DS, despite its lackluster launch, and I feel that news outlets like you did a lot to push the console forward and help it become the great handheld that it is today, so, for that, I thank you! See you around, David!
Hey, just wanted to say I really appreciate all you've done in these last few years. I still remember when I first found your blog, and thought it was so awesome how you'd find so much interesting information to post (especially on Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts 3D, etc). Yours was the first blog I ever *actually* subscribed to of my own accord (and I'm not even joking!). You're seriously amazing, David, and you put such a great (and fruitful) effort into this blog - you probably don't anyways, but don't feel bad or anything about closing this down - walk away from this PROUD! For years, you made my middle school (now high school :D) heart very excited, as I would come home and my first thing would be to check your blog for upcoming 3DS news.
PS: Thanks for telling us about what's going on.... some people wouldn't let "others" know what's happening in their lives, and that makes it hard for me to imagine the actual blogger. But, thank you for being so open and doing such an amazing job of running this site (and for so long, too!).
Sincerely,
Sharron.
Thank you so much David for the news you given us for the past years you Are the only person I went to for Nintendo information I love your videos I wish you the best.
