Yes, it is what it looks like!

Kinda related, but JLab Audio is doing a $5 grab bag. A chance to get some decent sounding headphones or their Bluetooth speaker for $5. With shipping a bag come out to $7.50. Posting since headphones and portable systems go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Natsume is localising an A-Train game right now, it should be out soon.

Other than that, you're basically looking at DS games. There are a couple Sim City games that look like shovelware but aren't (one of them is a reskinned SC3000), and a Theme Park remake that I haven't played but is apparently pretty okay. There are also some surprisingly good adaptations of Anno for DS (not that they're tycoon games, but I guess they're vaguely similar), and Japan got a remake of Sim Tower/The Tower.

I'll keep an eye out for A-Train. Me thinks 3ds is more about character simulation like fantasy life, Tamagotchi, the Sims, or New leaf.

I played the Codename STEAM demo and I don't think I like that game at all. The gameplay just seems really tedious and nowhere near as satisfying as Valkyria Chronicles. Enemies just come out of nowhere constantly giving you no time to react. Also what is loving with that waiting time during the enemy turns, it's insane.

it's also pretty ugly

i'd consider buying it if they fixed the enemy turns but as it stands i'll pass. too bad, id like to support original ips but they've gotta make the original ips good first

Yeah I want to like the over the top kitchen sink style crazy, but the game play was not good.

It just makes me want to play valkyria chronicles because they did it so much better.

I'll probably get STEAM eventually but only when I actually get myself to finish Valkyria Chronicles.

Did you order the Xl or normal? I've a brand new n3ds normal sized I'm selling at a discount. Bought it off eBay but decided I wanted an xl after all.

What the gently caress dude, that's the point. Your rear end got punished in Advance Wars too if you weren't careful about going where you couldn't see. It's a strategy game, not Doom.

I think the old vs new have different spots for the power button so the cases won't work between them. I have the Big Ben "Polycarbonate" New XL case. I can certainly recommend getting one for the New since it completely solves the (non-)issue of the power button protruding from the system and you won't have to worry about accidentally pressing it.

The one I've got on my OldXL turned very yellow eventually, but that may be the smoking that I do around it. It protects very well though. I like it.

Mine never has more than 10 people show up at a time. So even R to fast forward and hammering them out non-stop while watching movies it will take absolutely forever. But I gotta get those 3D puzzles.

I've heard and read good things. I had a pre-order w/ amazon and I guess pre-ordering 2 weeks ago wasn't early enough. They didn't receive enough and shipped out in order of the pre-orders. So at least my shipping was bumped to next day for whenever they arrive.

I think you guys really have to throw out the Valkyria Chronicles references out. IMHO the game borrows more from the UFO/XCOM-series with free movement. And anyway, who the hell runs into enemy lines of fire blindly? Play tactically, doofuses!

Yeah, in STEAM there is actual Overwatch and stealth/enemy position knowledge is much more important while in Valkyria Chronicles you can charge into enemy gunfire if you do it right.

STEAM seems fun enough, but holy poo poo I would really more seriously consider playing it if they could do something about the Enemy Turn wait time. At least give me a fast forward button or something!

FFS people, it's like 20 seconds. Scroll through each of your characters and watch what the gently caress the enemy is doing from their perspectives, so you don't do something retarded like, I don't know, blindly charge into enemy fire and get yourself stunned??

I'd hate to see some of you playing chess or any tabletop game.

It's way longer than 20 seconds when there's lots of enemies on the field, and during most of it you can't see poo poo because the enemy taking its turn to move isn't anywhere near your visible range.

I think the Enemy Turn wait will be mitigated once you have a full squad placed around the map. Seems like switching character view will be a way to make waiting tense.
