ZZT the Fifth posted:Is Fantasy Life any good as a Harvest Moon/Rune Factory-ish game? It isn't entirely comparable. It has more of a feel of the non-farming bits of Rune Factory mixed with a fantasy MMO. There's a bit more exploration rather than strict dungeons, more focus on story, and a somewhat deep MMO-style crafting system. If that sounds appealing you should enjoy the game.

ZZT the Fifth posted:Is Fantasy Life any good as a Harvest Moon/Rune Factory-ish game? My only disappointment with the game is that, from a gameplay mechanic standpoint, there's a lot of crossover. Woodcutting and Mining are functionally the same. Alchemy, Tailoring, Blacksmithing use the same minigame with just small alterations. But if you love crafting and harvesting resources this game is GREAT for that. The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Jun 18, 2015 |

C-Euro posted:How good of a port is SF643D? I almost pulled the trigger on it last time it went on sale, I just need something to tear me away from MH4U for even a little while. Very good, in my opinion. It controls well and is very, very close to the original, just with better graphics and a few bells and whistles. I bought a 3DS last year for the games, not the 3D "gimmick", but this is one of the few games where I feel that the 3D enhances the game a bi8t - everywhere else for me is just a headache (literally). So, I would say get it if want to play a portable, modern version of the N64 classic.

It's a very faithful reproduction, keeps all the nuance that made the original great and adds a few optional gimmicks like the gyro controls, on top of a save system so you don't have to play the whole thing in one go. Looks and plays much smoother than the original, in my opinion. Would recommend, if you've been jonesing for the original.

I bought SF643D because I've kinda been waiting for some sorta sale on it. Game adjusts the difficulty level if you turn gyro controls on but otherwise is a faithful recreation of the original game with better but still style-consistent graphics. The 3D is definitely cool on this one- it meshes perfectly with a rail shooter where you're looking straight forward down a long virtual tunnel basically the whole game.

Yup SF643D is badass. It was one of the first things I bought when I got a N3DS in February and its one of my favorite games on the system.

Due to this this thread asking about it and all the other Star Fox hoopla I put in my copy of SF3D into the 3ds and played through it. It's so drat good. Pretty much the best on-rails shooter ever.

A bunch of Petit Computer 3/SmileBASIC news: -The 3.2 update is done and it should be out by now. They postponed the international release in order to prepare this update, and now that it's out they're finalising the localisation process. It's mostly bugfixes, but they also seem to be prepping for premium servers or something. -They've announced a standalone release called "Petit Computer Magazine #1" that'll feature ports of 36 games that were submitted to one of their programming contents, as well as an original shmup called "Solid Gunner" from the guy who made the original 1001 Spikes. No release date, but it'll cost 300yen and be out fairly soon. (They've also confirmed they'll be doing international contests once the English version is out.) -They're releasing some menu themes starting July 1: one with their in-game mascots, one with the comic-style "MR. SYNTAX" from the manual.

God drat it 3D Streets of Rage 2 and 3D Gunstar Heroes aren't coming out until July and August respectively. What am I even going to play until then? 3D OutRun can only have so much replay value... (Everyone buy 3D Streets of Rage 2 if you want the best beat-em-up ever portable btw.)

PAL update (week of June 25):quote:WII U RETAIL DOWNLOADS Wii U dudes, note the Yoshi promo: if you buy Woolly World on the eShop you'll get a free code for Yoshi Touch & Go, a game that's worth owning even if it isn't worth paying money for. Kirby Mouse Attack (Squeak Squad) is the most inessential of the Superstar-style Kirby games but it's still fun enough. Kirby 64 follows in the puzzle-ish tradition of Dreamland 2/3 and is unique in that it lets you combine copy abilities to create new transformations. Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 is launching with £150 of day-one DLC which I can't be arsed to list. PaletteSwappedNinja fucked around with this message at 11:36 on Jun 22, 2015 |

Oooh. Does that mean Wooly World is being released early on the eshop? I've paid for the pre-order but dammit I am an impatient man when it comes to little fabric dudes. Also these regular updates are ace cheers for that.

They still do it to Europe when it comes to Kirby games. They're delaying Woolly World because they need more time to not release Devil's Third.

SmileBASIC isn't backwards-compatible with Petit Computer, no. I don't know if we're getting the 'magazine" releases but most of the included games are/were publicly available during the programming contests, so if you own SmileBASIC you should be able to play them one way or another.

I can only assume that US is getting Wooly World in October because they want more than one title for the holiday season. I bet if they didn't delay Zelda, we would have gotten it this month.

We got Rainbow Paintbrush late, you guys get Wooly World late. It's only fair. I feel like an idiot for preordering the expensive Yoshi amiibo + game bundle because the first couple of European reviews point to this being a pedestrian rehash with a nice aesthetic, just like the Kirby game.

Cat Machine posted:We got Rainbow Paintbrush late, you guys get Wooly World late. It's only fair. . Except that it makes sense for a game to come out later in Europe. Create the game in Japanese, release in Japan. Translate to English, release in NA. Translate to Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and German, release in Europe. To release it in Europe, you have had to already translate it to English, which is the only thing you need to do to release it in NA.
