Phosphia posted:I read the colour options for the New 3DS XL differ between US and EU. Is there any way to know when other colors will be available if at all? I would rather not have to ship from overseas. Europe gets : Black (no game) Blue (no game) Majora's Mask (digital copy) Monster Hunter 4 (digital copy) If you're importing from Europe, you may as well get the (non-xl) New 3DS, which is a lot lighter than the N3DSXL, but has larger screens than the older 3DS and 2DS models, so it's the best of both worlds. It comes in black or white, and uses the same interchangable cover plates as the Japanese model.

Rune Factory 4 is weird because it's just relentlessly anime out of the gate, but it actually has a relatively quick tutorial and once you're farming you pretty much have free reign to do whatever you want. It doesn't drip-feed upgrades and mechanics like ANB/SoS. Then you beat the main story and it pretty much turns into Disgaea with random dungeons, numbers spiraling into the millions, and crafting that boils down to duct-taping dozens of ultimate swords together to make the Most Ultimatest Sword.

That Snake Eater 3DS port is so good on the new 3DS, and with the actual working 3D and crouch-walking its worth playing through it again even on a small screen.

Is cheating a thing in Mario Golf World Tour? I did an international tournament today on the mountain course, and finished -7 under par, feeling pretty good about it. Then I checked the leaderboards: top 10 are -26 under par. How the gently caress?

How do the tournaments in that game work anyway, I heard that nintendo runs public tournaments with stuff as prizes. Do they still run those or has it stopped since it's so long after release now? As for the rest of the tourneys, are you actually taking turns golfing on the same course with others or are you just golfing through and putting your score up at the end? Also, how is the DLC?

Got my New 3DS on Friday, got everything transferred over from the old one fairly easily, and grabbed SM3DL and Mario Golf off Club Nintendo. The 3D really is so good it went from barely being on for me to never being off (I gather this is a common sentiment though). Mario Golf is so much like Hot Shots Golf it hurts, but like in a good masochistic way. I guess there's really not that many different ways to make a golf game though. Are there really just three 18 hole courses? The dlc adds 6 more? I might have to get that, good move making this a platinum reward Nintendo.

Just grab some on the way to do whatever for the story. The only time-sensitive (governed by story events, not gametime) sidequests are the ones in Gaur Plains at the cave and a few midgame. And the usual recommendation to do the first level of Colony 6's reconstruction for all four buildings.

I forgot how much the rubber-banding AI in Mario Kart games pissed me off. It isn't even that the AI suddenly goes faster than it should, it's that I always get bombarded with red and blue shells on lap 3 and it's total bullshit. Red shells that fly through the air and follow me when hang-gliding, red shells that follow insane S-curves, it's relentless. I've started calling it "the inevitable lap 3 rear end-loving".

The developers of Mario Golf were the original developers on Hot Shots golf, the similarities aren't a coincidence. Yeah, the DLC is all 18-hole courses based on courses from the N64 game. There is (was?) a trial tournament that lets you sample them without putting any money down.

Click Click Rectified. Well, when I say they were the original developers I was being literal; they (Camelot) made the first couple games and then Sony gave the franchise to a different studio (Clap Hanz) that's been making the Hot Shots games ever since. They announced a new one for PS4 a few months ago, I think.

For tournaments, can you only play as your mii or can you play as any character? Also, are the DLC characters and courses any good, and has the dlc ever gone on sale?

The DLC courses are the best and also some of the hardest in the game, with the exception of the tournament variants of the vanilla courses that come out during cups, and the DLC characters are a ton of fun. Their stats are pretty much in line with the existing characters but they all have exaggerated characteristics that are really distinctive, Rosalina lofts like crazy, Nabbit has the biggest draw shot in the game, Toadette doesn't have much power but punches super accurately, and Gold Mario is just Mario but gold and impossible to control. They all have incredible animations too. And Nintendo DLC never goes on sale.

So World Tour has stopped giving me title-screen notifications of new tournaments. I can still play new ones in the Quick Play or Club menus, and the numbers have incremented (I think we're at World Tournament 19 now?) but I think we've officially cycled back around to the beginning of the tournament pool now that we're not quite a year out from release. I can't decide if I want to keep my streak of 'never having missed a tournament' going, or not...

Brightman posted:Are there really just three 18 hole courses? I was actually really confused about this when playing the other day. Good word of advice to anybody picking it up, there are like ten courses but they aren't unlocked by doing the standard tournaments in the castle club, they're unlocked by going into the freeplay mode and doing the challenges. But yeah, I picked up Mario Golf: World Tour as a platinum reward and I have been absolutely loving it. It was a bit of a riddle how to putt at first but once you get a feel for it it's really satisfying to make the ball go where you want it to go. Definitely the recommended pickup if you have platinum status and a 3DS.

The game is broken down into many massive areas that are all connected to eachother in a semi-linear path. The main plot will take you through these. Think of the sidequests as reasons to explore/sight-see each area (which all more or less look amazing).

Mario golf world tour plays more like the n64 version than the GameCube version, which is a good thing in my mind. Also manual mode always for maximum enjoyment.

At least you get banana peels and green shells to counter the red shells. It's the multiple blue shells, lightning bolts, and cpu players draft boosting off thin air that are the real problem.

I just learned this this morning completely by accident and it made me giddy since I finally found a defense against those stupid blue shells. Edit: Nevermind, this isn't in MK7, only in MK8. I should pay attention to which Nintendo thread I'm in.

I think the piranha plant might eat them too (I love when someone sends out that God damned squid and the plant just gobbles it up). But you get those things so rarely when you're in 1st - 3rd that it's hard to test for that kind of thing. (and yeah, that's just in mk8 too)

One of my best MK8 moments was when going for 3 stars on whatever cup the downhill ski slope is in, is in 2nd on the final stretch and no chance of passing the leader, got no items to help me... and then a blue shell comes out of nowhere, takes out the leader and lets me cruise over the finishing line first. That almost made up for all the times I got hosed over in the final 10% of a race.
