Two words.

Longevity.
Gimmicks.

Those two words alone murder the 3DS version.
Could you elaborate more please?

Generally speaking I don't mind longevity as long as the game is fun.

Gimmicks are more of a mixed bag, but depending on what they are and how they are implemented I can generally deal with them as well.

This would explain it easier than me:

From experience, the 3DS version has a nasty habit of having long drawn out stages with some sort of gimmick attached to it extending it further. Most obvious with something like Frozen Factory 3 (gee what a shocker) where you have to constantly move around snowballs and put them into holes, which drags out for a very long time, like a solid 12 minutes.

Any good action series out recently? I'm talking about action series. Doesn't matter if it's animated or live action. I've considering Attack on Titan. But is there another series worth looking into?

For live action I recommend Banshee and Vikings which are okay (especially the first, which has a great cast of over-the-top characters and by far the best action scenes in television these days, look at this gold for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqRPaucl8r4)
Also Sons Of Anarchy, Boardwalk Empire and Justified are top-notch but they're more steered to the writing aspect, there's not much action to it except maybe SOA (and also are not really recent since they're at least four years old).
I can't recommend anime series since I'm not really informed about them, especially new ones. I watched Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Gurren Lagann. Liked them a lot but not really my bread, I'm more for live action. Attack On Titan should be really good though, maybe I'll give it a look.

I don't have the channel for Banshee, but I've heard good things of it. I'll look into Justified, seems like it would be cool. And unlike the other series, it doesn't look like it has a crap-ton of episodes. I only remember hearing about it recently. As far as anime goes, the last ones I watched were Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Dragon Ball Z Kai, and sometimes Naruto Shippuden on and off. Cowboy Bebop is definitely one of my personal favorites though.

I liked One Piece, you probably don't feel the same way or it would have already been on your list. Haha. It is ONE PIECE of anime I tolerate.

Justified has 52 episodes to date and Season 5 starts like next week. Season 6 should be the last. It is technically an action series but it's extremely writing-driven. It's very witty and has amazing dialogues delivered by some of the best television actors around. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but you won't be disappointed. Oh, Season 1 starts kinda slow because has mostly filler episodes for the first part, but it's all to build the characters.

Heh......I see what you did there. That hurt. A good bit too.

I'm fine with character building episodes. Better than made up BS filler. That's the worst kind of filler to ever exist.

Wouldn't allow me to vote without one and kept taking me to the register page when I tried to vote. :/

EDIT - On the subject of Sonic Lost World. How is the 3DS version of the game? I heard good things about the console versions, but not so for the handheld version but each time on the handheld it was compared to the console version which I find to be a tad unfair. Even though my dad got a Wii-U for Christmas which means I could play the console version instead, I would rather go for the handheld version since the 3DS is actually mine and is cheaper.
Are you sure you couldn't vote? I'm pretty sure that Shorts is just doing characters this time. Did you see a banner reading "thank you: at the top of the page after you did your vote?

FYI: kwiksurveys doesn't let anyone but the poll creator see the results.

Nope. No thank you banner. I put in the vote click next page and it takes me to registration. Nothing else. So I'm pretty sure it isn't taking in my vote.

First off define "action". I can think of a couple of new TV shows you could watch, but not sure if you would consider them "action" or not. Same goes for possible anime you may not have watched. I really need to know what you consider to be action.

Is that so....well, I think it is taking your vote even if it doesn't explicitly say that. Edit: I'll ask the poll creator about that.
