Oh, 2004 on PS2, 2005 on PC, 2009 on Steam, 2011 on Android.

One of the nice things about at least the PC version is that it comes with all three original Bard's Tales titles from the 1980s along with it.

Anybody got a Nintendo 3DS/DS?
I'm considering one, only because I don't want to spend the cash on a PS4/Xbox One that I'd rarely use, but I find myself wanting to play games at times, whether I'm on a flight, at home, etc.

Yes, we have a New 3DS XL for the eight year old and a 2DS for the five year old and the wife and I both have legacy DSs.

I don't find games on Nintendo to be generally compelling. They've gone downhill significantly since the SNES days. Each generation worse than the last (except maybe for the Gamecube.) The 3DS has fewer good games than the DS, the DS fewer than the GBA, etc. Each one focuses more on gimmick and less on gameplay, as well. The 3DS is so full of gimmick that it's hard to find anything good on it.
It's not all bad, but it is a very weak platform.

What kind of games you like to play would be an important factor.

Yeah, for sure. I just saw a guy playing it on the plane yesterday and thought it might be a good thing to have for flights and late-night/random boredom.

My daughter likes it but doesn't use it often. More, cheaper and better games on tablets and phones today.

Don't have any games on it myself. Only DuoLingo.

While I like the games on my phone/tablet, I get bored after a bit. I'm also a sucker for having a controller in my hands.

Also, a lot of the good ones force you to purchase shit to get the complete experience or be competitive, etc. I understand that's the name of the game in terms of DLC nowadays on consoles, but I also get a complete game upon purchase with consoles.

Get a controller for your phone, then.
