Which 3DS Harvest Moon is the one to get again?

Or should I just suck it up and get Rune Factory 4?
It's absolutely Rune Factory 4. It has everything a normal HM game has, plus monster hunting, way better writing, visuals, characters, etc (based on my experience with Tale of Two Towns), and a whole lot of content. It is genuinely really loving well written and enjoyable.

3DS is region locked, right? So US Rune Factory 4 isn't going to work on my UK 3DS, right?
With the dev going under it's unlikely to get a release and I want to play it so badly.

Also, no sale on SMT4 is unfortunate. Remember, Code of Princess is not worth buying!

Well, SMT4 just went on sale for $40 at Amazon. I've never played an SMT game, but given the near-universal praise, I'm going to give it a try.

Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure - $39.99 (Wii U) / $19.99 (3DS)

Can anye of you NA dudes confirm/deny these prices, or see if they have the sales period listed on the eShop?

Yeah, it's region-locked. Zen United is still working on the PAL release, as far as I know, and it's still expected in the first half of this year.

Is The Millennium Girl worth getting if you already beat EO1 back in the day? Did they rebalance the skills so that it's more in line with the newer games and you can't just spam those Medic skills to win the game?

I was hoping the 3DS MH3U would go on sale again, they had several $20 sales and I've got two friends who recently got a 3DS that are interested in it.

It might be on sale, I don't know. I don't have a NA 3DS/WU so I just have to go off what I'm told and what's on the press release.

Assuming you've played the others and understand that you're not going to get a $40 experience out of it, it's great. It can be shallow at times and taking pictures can be frustrating due to the poo poo camera the 3DS has but overall I'm liking it more than I thought I did. Also, some of the textures in the game are unreal for the 3DS, it's a very, very pretty game but the frame rate can suffer from it.

Honestly, you might want to get the demo to find out yourself. I take the opposite position as Louisgod, it's not that good and I personally wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It looks nice but that's about it. Also yea if you're going to build a major feature of your game around the mediocre camera, maybe give a little more leeway on the picture rates.

The game is pretty much all charm but not much in the way of actual gameplay. If you love exploration and colorful characters, it's worth the $10 absolutely. I'm having a nice time with it.

But, yeah, the photo system is super janky.

I played the demo and while I liked it, I found the frame rate of it to be pretty bad. How is it in the full version?

Can't say for sure since I never played the demo but honestly there's nothing in the game (so far) that requires a steady framerate so it doesn't bother me. If the gameplay was affected to a point where I couldn't do poo poo because of it then I'd be annoyed but the charm and great visuals outweigh any sluggishness.

I would buy this if the dinosaurs are able to be ridden and raced... in the same races with the horses.

You're playing two different games on the same map, one game is racing horses and the other is hunting horses.

I played the PC version and I liked it a lot; be aware the game isn't shy about killing you though, so I would advise against playing on Hard off the bat.

It was $14.99 a couple weeks ago. Anyone who wants it digitally has it now.
