Well the story is definitely not on Radiant Historia's level. The EO games are traditionally story light and at least to some extent the one in Untold feels a bit tacked on. I still liked it though and it works as a really good gateway into the series I think.

Just a warning, the story is very much not the main focus of EO games.

If any of you liked Pokemon Mystery Dungeon's mechanics, but thought it was too easy or something, I recommend picking up Etrian Mystery Dungeon.

EOU is the only game where story is given a focus (it has the option to play as predefined characters, not just blank states) but the story is not especially interesting

I brought my 3ds to japan and keep filling up on street passes Besides mii plaza they seem to be mostly for smash and various pokemon games. Occasional FF: Curtain Call ones too, only got 1 Zelda one which is a shame.

Not that it doesn't need that badly, especially if you've ever used a Vita (or a phone) It has a better CPU, so in theory newer games can use it for improved loading times (like Azure Striker Gunvolt) or just bigger better games altogether like Xenoblade. The simple fact is you're not going to see anything really making use of it until e3 because it's still in it's launch window - anything that makes use of the new tech either got slapped on after the fact, or had access to the dev kit before the launch. It's only by the time e3's rolling around that we'll see anything anywhere near a playable state.

Not that it doesn't need that badly, especially if you've ever used a Vita (or a phone) Well it can play Binding of Isaac rebirth when the 3DS can't keep up at all. Considering cross-platform capabilities of engines being used now (Unity, Unreal Engine, etc) it wouldn't be that far off for them to bake in support since Nintendo seems to have a huge indie boner for the Wii U shop. Click a check box, compile, verify it works and you have another platform. It likely won't happen but bridging the gap between processor speed seems to make it plausible.

There are gonna be more "better on new 3ds" games like Monster Hunter and Gunvolt than straight up exclusives, but I'm totally okay with that.

Honestly I think that's the best way to do it too. Don't make it a super mandatory upgrade, make it a thing where it's 'yea if you REALLY are into this game super hard you probably want it on the new 3ds'. Monster Hunter was part of the reason I got mine on launch and while Xeno looks fun and I'm looking forward to playing it, in no world at all is it a 'system mover'.

They probably did since there's literally no difference with MM on a new 3DS aside from using the c-stick to control the camera.

Nintendo really wants us to give a poo poo about this game and I can't for the life of me figure out why. Why they aren't out there promoting their great games that received lackluster praise, I will never know.

Mainland Europe, there's some good preorder prices going on in Amazon ES (shipping everywhere AFAIK). Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons - Super Mario - 24€ Code Name STEAM - 32€ Splatoon - 31.50€ Rainbow Kirby - 31.50€ This also made me look for Mario&DK Tipping Star, which is 18€, except it's not really a retail release, just a system-specific box with the codes for both versions. That was weird.

It's pretty much a breeze through til about Chapters 15-16 where it gets more annoying than it does challenging. I haven't been able to get past the 17th world so far, because anytime it gets to the point I need to really think about a level, I decide that there's just so much left to do in Xenoblade that it would be a better waste of time instead.

If you really get stuck a hint is just one play coin. I probably used around 7 or 8 in my play through.
