Is Fire Emblem any good? I mean, they usually are, but I haven't played one since the first GBA one.

New Leaf is the best Animal Crossing game available and you will love it.

New Leaf has a ton of new stuff added over Wild World and is the definitive Animal Crossing game. Mosey on over to ye olde Animal Crossing thread. The OP has details about what's changed over previous versions.

Honestly I don't even know why people are so eager for a console AC game..I mean, I'd buy it and play it...but handheld seems like the perfect home for a game like this; check in every couple days, play for 20 minutes and be done. AC isn't a series you generally sit down and out several hours into at a time.

I don't particularly want a console animal crossing game, but a console animal crossing board game is a waste of time, there's already plenty of them on the console and this one looks lame in comparison, when the other board games weren't that hot in the first place anyway.

It is if you gently caress with the clock  I've been playing the Animal Crossing series by binge-playing and resetting the clock forward one day at a time for like an ingame month straight ever since the Gamecube, no matter what console it was played on. (They really should implement a Rune Factory style "sleep in bed = new day" thing for people who like to play like this) That said both have their advantages and disadvantages, I love curling up to play it in bed with the 3DS but hunting for the smaller bugs on the 3DS screen is a nightmare. I never see them before they fly off unless they're the fuckoff huge tropical bugs on the island. Mr. Creakle fucked around with this message at 13:56 on Jun 18, 2015 |

I guess I'm just worried about having another situation where the console version is a glorified port that doesn't bring anything new to the table. As for time passage...I like that animal crossing operates in real time, but there really needs to be some more official support for players who have a non-standard schedule. Early bird and night owl ordinances help, but I think there's more that can be done.

You could just change your clock to be PM when it's AM and vice versa. Outside of that, those two ordinances are as good as it gets.

I played a lot of AC Wild World, to the point of paying off my debt, and haven't really felt compelled to open it back up or play another one.

Well well well, looks like there's a big (and I mean BIG!) spoiler for Fire Emblem Fates right now: Child units are back. Unlike Awakening, this apparently happens because of a timeskip, not because of time/dimensional travels.

Star Fox 64 takes about 30 minutes to beat. There is a lot of replayability and branching paths, but it is short.

This is going to sound like Nintendo Blasphemy but I never really got into LTTP. Granted I picked it up for the first time ever in like 2008 on a ROM, but it never made me jizz my pants like some other people. I liked OoT way more. I don't mind top down RPGs and am not sure if the game is just too dated to appeal to me without any nostalgia whatsoever, or if I just have terrible taste. Does the new Zelda game still have something to offer for someone like me?

Well movement speed is a lot faster than previous overhead Zelda games and it has better pacing, there are far fewer road blocks.

Animal Crossing on a home console by itself doesn't sound great, but it is a prime candidate for the pipedream "Handheld with a docking station that uoscales to 1080p with improved performance" that some people want NX to be. gently caress around and do chores in short bursts on the handheld, play around on your tv when you have more time and feel like redecorating your house/landscaping/etc.

Back when FE Awakening came out I picked it up to give the FE series a try, but I burnt out on it pretty quick and didn't end up playing much, but with all the new FE stuff getting talked up recently, I want to give it a shot again. Just to clarify some things: -"Hard" is the series standard and "Normal" is basically Easy Mode, right? -How vital is Pair Up? I read some stuff where people complained about it being massively overpowered, so I ended up avoiding using it a little bit, but I recall having a lot of trouble as early as Chapter 2 Hard, finding difficulty looking for things to do with my units that didn't get them murdered once my turn ended.

Normal is Easy and Hard is pretty Normal, maybe slightly above it. Use Pair Up. It's fine, just don't grind to keep the difficulty curve sane.

Just to clarify some things: - Yes. - It's probably not vital, but it really helps in keeping your units alive, whether it is because the back unit is squishy, you want the stat boosts the back unit gives to the main unit of the pair, or because the units support each other which lets you get even more attacks out of them. If you don't grind, then Pair-Up isn't all that broken.

One thing I really liked about LBW compared to other recent Zeldas is that for a change the gameplay gimmick (turning into a drawing to walk along walls) worked extremely well, fitting into various puzzles in a very organic manner.

I sure hope the next Tomodachi Life has same-sex relationships. The first one looked really cool but I have no interest in playing a life simulation that excludes them.

The next Tomodachi Life allows same-sex couples to move together but they need to campaign the island government to change legislature to approve same-sex marriage.
