This has probably been asked a million times but is it worth picking up a New 3DS XL just for monster hunter 4 ultimate? Is the 3d thing actually good or just a worthless gimmick? last DS I bought was a DSI.

Yes, it's worth it. The 3D tracking messes up for some people with glasses but it's works almost perfect otherwise.

it's the first thing i notice whenever anyone shows me gameplay, i guess the bigger issue is that nothing draws me to it, like character or plot-wise, and yeah sure you can post a bunch of music or whatever but hey guess what, tons of bad games have good music too, you're gonna need more then that

Xenoblade gives you the option of going left, right, and even back! but if you're more interested in just looking at vistas rather than exploring them then okay, it's not for you.

Seriously though if you can stomach FFXIII then you'll do just fine by Xenoblade. The most interesting part of the combat (visions and changing the future) hasn't really been shown off in any trailers, and based on the half dozen hours I put into FFXXXIII, combat is more involved in Xenoblade with having to get timing for attacks right and taking advantage of opportunities as they arise.

Why would you ever attack something from a menu instead of just hitting it with a sword directly, games are not math

I heard it's going to be episodic in Japan. Like only one path will be available but the other path will be sold as discounted DLC, but later on there will be a complete edition. So 2016 probably means the west will get the complete edition. Hopefully.

Rhythm Heaven 3DS is a mix of old tunes, remixes of old tunes and all-new tunes, as well as redrawn graphics. It'll also include local multiplayer for up to 4 people with download play. Out June 11.

That would make sense of the phrasing. Kinda hard to 'choose' when your version of the game focuses on a specific route. Plus, well, not as if Nintendo is unfamiliar with that kinda deal, due to Monster Hunter.

When did nintendo turn into a micro transaction whore

1) Microtransactions are not inherently bad
2) Nintendo's DLCs are universally good value for the money
3) The actual gameplay affecting stuff (i.e. new characters) are their own separate purchases, so if you decide you don't want costumes, you don't have to pay for them

Are Code Name S.T.EA.M or whatever and AZURU STRIKURU GUNVORT any good? The latter seemed pretty Megaman-y and it seemed dece but I don't keep up on Nintendo stuff too much and they might be terrible.

Gunvolt isn't as Megaman-esque as it might seem, it's an idiosyncratic score-focused game that probably won't interest you if you just wanna play to the end.

I haven't played STEAM but one of the biggest criticisms against that game (slow enemy turns) is being addressed with a patch.

Codename STEAM is a good turn based strategy game, and Nintendo announced in the direct that just happened that they are gonna fix the biggest problem it had, the inability to fast forward enemy turns, soon.

It's still odd that wasn't in to begin with, especially from experienced devs like IntSys. Really dragged down review scores from what I heard.

If they really wanted to cross the IAP line they'd release that badge app with the pink rabbit in the West. The fact they didn't announce it coming out over here makes me think it'll probably never come over or they'll just sell icon packs wholesale eventually at E3.

They're being sold as separate games, lol.
