Help Im Alive posted:The only Breath of Fire game I've played is Dragon Quarter, is BoF2 worth getting excited for? It's the better of the two SNES titles, at least. Of course telling people to play III requires them to import something for a PSP or buy the pricey PS1 version, so this is still a good option (keeping in mind Dragon Quarter is NOTHING like the other games).

Dragon Quarter is a bad Breath of Fire game but a better game than most of the Breath of Fire games. It wasn't at all what BoF fans would have wanted or expected but the mechanics were top notch. BOF2 is... it's a somewhat-okay SNES-era RPG. I guess it depends on your tolerance for that. I had fun with it but it isn't really exceptional in any way. Don't expect it to play like DQ. It's a pretty by-the-book JRPG. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 09:43 on Aug 2, 2013 |

Also you will be required to grind a LOT for the snes version. If I remember right the GBA version gives double the exp and gold per battle. I remember I'd get really frustrated and bored with how much fighting you have to do. This is compounded by the fact that there are characters you MUST level up because you have to use them for solo sections, and they aren't the characters your likely to have in your main party. Seriously, who uses Sten. You're a god drat weirdo if you use him unfused. It's a neat game but it can get really confusing too if you're going in blind, a number of things you can miss/mess up that will impact the late/end game and you don't really see them coming. I wonder why both BoFs were able to get gba ports but they wont put BoF1 on VC.

Reminder that the $5/$10 codes from that Wii U eShop promotion (the one where you add $50-$100 to your account) should be mailed out today. Just got mine!

This is borderline off topic but I couldn't find anything after a quick Google search, so does anyone know if the GBA version of Breath of Fire II got a re-translation or if it copy and pasted the SNES translation?

It's a copy paste translation. The only thing they changed was adding a run-button (or rather, enabling it since supposedly it was dummied out of the SNES version) and updating the menus.

Is there a good way to get a complete list of the games available on the 3DS eShop? The 3DS's app and the official website both seem... not so good for that sort of thing.

So if I have BoF3 on the Wii VC and haven't played it yet should I rock through that when I have some free time and not worry about BoF2, because everyone seems to be saying it's the better game. Or at least that 2 has some pretty big problems.

It's been out in Japan for a while, so it's not really an "announcement" inasmuch as we already knew it was coming.

PAL update (week of August 8):quote:WII U eSHOP No Flipnote this week, I guess... ROTK4/Galaga are both the US versions. Incidentally, I don't think ROTK4 was ever released on the PAL Wii VC, which if I'm not mistaken makes it the first third-party Wii U VC release that isn't a retread of something from the old catalogue. Steamworld Dig seems like it might be okay... it's some sort of vaguely Spelunky-ish thing, I guess?

We had a copy of Mario Kart 7 between me and my brothers back when it was first released, for single-card multiplayer, but that cartridge seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. If I buy a copy of the game via eShop, can I still use that digital copy to play single-card multiplayer? EDIT: Awesome, thanks AngryCaterpillar.

If you have 150 coins and don't buy Mario Golf I'll be very disappointed in you. Also Nintendo had better get that poo poo to Europe soon.

Pez Ez Dispenser posted:Is that the feature where you could hit public wifi spots and it'll remember you were there for some time and you'd collect street passes from the spot all day even if you weren't there? The way it works is that the Nintendo Zone hotspots will hold the data of the last person that passed and relay it to the next person. It only relays one person's data at a time and you still have to actively pass the hotspots to get any benefit at all, so if you don't regularly pass any Nintendo Zone hotspots or take your 3DS outside at all then it's not gonna affect you.

Awesome! posted:If I buy one mega man on my 3ds which one should it be? I would recommend MM3 over MM2 (My favorite NES game is actually MM1, but that's an uncommon opinion). MM2 has a lot of annoying bullshit, such as a boss that requires you to use all of a special weapon's ammunition, and if you die or make a single mistake because you don't already know the very specific way you have to fight it, you have to spend time farming for ammo pickups because it's literally impossible without a full bar for that weapon. MM2 is really great, but I feel like it falls apart and just stops being fun once you beat all the robot masters.

I completely agree with everything you said here. Plus, with MM3, you get to fight all the MM2 robot masters later on anyway. Get MM3.

.TakaM posted:And MM3 is where the slide was introduced. The slide adds very little to Megaman, though. It's not as awful as the charge shot mechanic they introduced in MM4, but it's just unnecessary. I guess you can use it to avoid a few bosses' jump attacks, but eh. MM2 is damned near perfect in its simplicity, and it constantly demands you rethink your arsenal in interesting ways. Like using the Bubble Lead to suss out false floors in Wily's castle. MM3 has too many useless features and one-time use weapons, like the Top Spin or Rush Marine. It feels padded out, a bit soft in the middle compared to MM2's lean design.

This also describes a few MM3 bosses, though, doesn't it?

MM2 is a much better experience with save states. I never save scummed, but throwing a save in front of each boss improves the experience, especially on the boss you're talking about.

I went through 4 or 5 Nintendo Zone hot spots (lots of chain coffee shops / pubs!) a few hours ago and not one street pass! I hope that it's just that I was just the first person in my area to be out and about with updated firmware, and not that this is going to be some sort of weird complex cluster-gently caress of a thing to do (but with Nintendo, going by past performance who knows?)
