Awakening's definitely a good choice for lasting 3 weeks.

Thanks for the DS recommendations guys. In this first wave I am picking up Radiant Historia, Order of Ecclesia, TWEWY, Ghost Trick and Dragon Quest 9. I haven't played a pokemon game since red/blue but I might give the new x/y a shot when they come out. I did really like it when I was a kid although I hear now it's all sorts of crazy with different personalities and varieties and poo poo.

Chaltab posted:I'm going out of the country for three weeks in three weeks; what would be a good 3DS game to take with me? I'm leaning towards Awakening because it's supposed to have a solid amount of content (on top of being really good). If you can only take one, take Awakening. That game can easily last you months if you're really into it.

Pokemon has all that new crazy stuff, but you can still play and enjoy it while ignoring all of that. That's the magic of Pokemon, it allows you to sperg a little, or sperg a shitload.

Thanks HG/SS for proving to me why Typhlosion is the greatest pokemon of all time. *I ended up level 100 when I beat the game and it required a lot of healing items.

Yeah in White I just took 6 Pokemon I liked, levelled them as usual and steamrollered the Elite Four with them. You only need to know the insane spergy stuff if you plan on battling online.

All I want from Pokemon X/Y is moves like cut/surf/strength etc handled in a way that doesn't suck. You either have to have a useless HM slave like bidoof to give the moves to, or you have to spread all those terrible moves between your main Pokemon. I wish they would just assign those moves to items. Replace surf with a surfboard, cut with hedgeclippers or something.

The first two special worlds of Mario 3D Land which were pretty fun. But the third world... That's just a lives eating world.

Zaphod42 posted:This is exactly how Super Robot Wars plays, complete with random characters in nonsensical situations and tons of anime dialogue; except Super Robot Wars auto resolves damage, like Advance Wars or Fire Emblem, you just see a really pimp animation of the gundams fighting with no control over it. (Again, think Advance Wars) You get to pick from several different attacks, and they all have a really sweet ultimate attack just like in Project Crossu Zone where it uses actual animation of those characters and not just sprites, but you just select them from a list like Final Fantasy Tactics, there's no real time button mashing action. That's new to Crossu Zone as far as I know. (And a pretty cool idea) The button-mashing battle system from Project X Zone is actually kind of cribbed/modified from SRW OG Saga: Endless Frontier, which was also by Monolith. The better sequel never got a translation, though.

Upgraded from the stock 4GB card to a SanDisk 32GB (Class 10). System startup seems to have slowed down considerably, but from what I've seen loading games isn't any slower. Is this normal?

However I did lose a load of save data because apparently combining 2 SD card's content isn't possible.

I'm telling you, if you wanna play pokemon, get Heart Gold / Soul Silver. Its a remake of Gold/Silver which are the games that came out directly after Red/Blue, so it feels very much like Red/Blue in style and design and has many of the original pokemon. Black/White have almost 0 of the original 151 pokemon anywhere to be captured. Its entirely new, stupid pokemon with awful, awful designs that I loathe. The new graphics in Black/White are nice, but HeartGold/SoulSilver is just 1 generation behind, still looks very modern and has a great design, but with more of the old school sensibilities. X and Y look good so far, but I really don't like Black & White.

Zaphod42 posted:Its entirely new, stupid pokemon with awful, awful designs that I loathe. Your opinion is only held by a minority, just in case other people here get the wrong idea. BW2 is the game of choice for anyone coming back to Pokémon. As these things usually go, Game Freak is probably going to screw up with X/Y and only fix the issues with Z. Might as well pick the safe choice and go with the last of the DS games. Between PokéHollywood, the challenge tower/tree, the PWT tournaments, musicals, 300 mons on that region's pokedex (and 650 in total), and a million of other things, it's going to last you a minimum of 200 hours if not more. Or less if one doesn't want to bother with any of that. It's an absurdly popular game for a reason: it tailors to everyone.

In B/W1, beat the game and old generation's pokemon will appear in the world. In B/W2 theyre there from the start. And besides, Gen 1 and 2 designs were exactly are ultra retarded as Gen 5's, they just have the nostalgia going for them. More importantly though, while HG/SS have the best interface in the series, the game still suffers from G/S's horrible pacing. There are much better games in the series to play

Heart Gold and Soul Silver look like they would require a bit of effort to find for a good price. I'll keep an eye out on ebay. There are some people selling the box/manual with no game for like $20.

Pokemon designs have always been kind of dumb man, even the first generation ones. Harlock posted:Or just make them passive abilities. If it makes sense for a Pokemon to have that ability, just let them do it. I like that idea but then you could get abilities like fly/surf right off the bat which would let you into areas/cities before you're supposed to be able to reach them. (Though a Pokemon game with that kind of freedom would be really nice) If they assigned the abilities to items, you can still stagger them across the game like they do with the HMs.

If you're getting Heart Gold or Soul Silver then try and find one with the Pokewalker. It'll make life a lot easier.

My wish since I've been playing White 2 a bit is AI that isn't totally god damned stupid. At the very least in trainer battles have them NOT use moves that are only useful in doubles, or are totally useless in the current situation (like that one that lets physical moves hit ghosts).

If you're still looking for game recommendations then maybe Phoenix Wright? Dunno if it's too VN-y for you, but I don't really get visual novels and I had a blast with PW. Also Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow is really good, definitely recommend that if you want more castlevanias.

Pokemon Black and White 2 rules just for the fact that the in-game Pokedex is a bit less than 300 if you don't count trades/events. There's just a ton of variety of what you can catch on any route.Fooley posted:My wish since I've been playing White 2 a bit is AI that isn't totally god damned stupid.

Challenge Mode makes them a little better, but not by much. The end-game stuff though they can literally cheat.

The Pokemon chat made me want to play my soulsilver but I just get blue screened and it says save data could not be accessed. A quick google search says I'm SoL. Would it be ethical to buy a used one from GameStop and do a switch a roo and just return my broken one.

Soul Glo posted:You have to use the original SD card in the new system. After the transfer, it tells you to put the old card in the new system, I think because the licenses for downloaded software don't transfer. You can put the AC 3DS' memory card in the old system, though. So does this mean I cannot play AC on my new 3DS XL, because if it does, then I think the transfer isn't really worth it because I only have pushmo on it.
