It looks great in 3D but I wouldn't say it's pretty besides, same goes for Link Between Worlds.

Link between Worlds looks so good, and plays so well that they are releasing an entirely new game off of it.

Srice posted:The demo is kinda lovely, the game plays much better when you start customizing your party from the ground up so you know what everyone can do.  It's just that the gameplay of the demo itself is nothing like the game since the demo is mostly grindy fetch quests.Abu Dave posted:That's nice to read because I honestly have no loving clue what i'm doing and I kinda enjoy it! Like I asked earlier, i'm not seeing ANY offensive magic spells so I have like 2 mages doing nothing but hitting with a stick. If you're getting killed by the boss in the dungeon near the town, here's a hint. You can use a White/Red Mage to land Silence on her, which will stop her Aeroga from murdering you. Before taking on that dungeon though, you should do some of the grindy fetch quests for people in town just to level up your abilities a bit. And yeah, don't forget to buy spells at the magic shop. Also, as someone already mentioned, remember that Brave is mapped to L and Default is mapped to R.

Wasn't there some benefit from playing the demo before playing the full game? Something about a town and residents carrying over or whatever. Does it? And how does it work?

The hinge (bottom inner shell on the right side) on my 3DSXL has been broken for a bit, and it finally just gave up and stopped holding the top screen to the bottom half. Incredibly unlikely. The xl is out selling the small version 3/4 times over in all territories. It's just not worth it for Nintendo to bring it to NA at this point.

Naw, I wouldn't play the demo if my only goal was to get those benefits. The village building stuff is all just a matter of time, and the rebuilding even goes on while your 3DS is in sleep mode.

African AIDS cum posted:The graphics in Kirby Triple Deluxe are really ugly. Game feels very generic. Nintendo needs to go back to 2d sprite based games I was gonna be mad at this but actually you're right, at least the second part. Just because you can have 3D models doesn't mean you should. I think the 3DS Pokemon games would have been way better if they stuck with sprites. I respect M&L Dream Team a lot for sticking to their guns and keeping the characters sprite-based while still giving them 3D depth. It's not just some kind of retro graphic nostalgia, I really just think sprites work better and look better for games in 2D worlds.

The Pokemon models look fine, it's literally everything else that looks like crap. Yokai Watch is a good example of how Pokemon might have looked in the hands of more competent developers. There are lots of terrible 2.5D side-view games that should have used sprites (most of them western-made) but there are lots of boring practical reasons why none of the big studios seem to bother with it anymore.

The pokemon models look great because people who have ripped them noticed that they are very overbuilt for the 3DS and contain enough detail to look great in HD. This is why the battle scenes tend to chug. It's pretty obvious that they intend to use those models for a long time going forward, and I don't blame them. At this point, remaking that many models every generation would be a pain in the rear end.

Zonekeeper posted:So I picked up Animal Crossing in the Best Buy sale and I am shocked at how quickly it hooked me. I intended to start the game tonight and leave it until tomorrow to play it seriously, but instead of quitting after getting my town started I just spent 3 hours talking to folks, digging up fossils, and catching bugs. There's an ACNL thread that's mildly active still. Handy for playing the stalk market and if you want certain villagers and someone has them moving out. In my experience you'll probably be hooked for like 3~6 months, playing at least a half hour every day, and then just nothing unless one of your friends gets it and you play with them. I guess if you like the interior design aspects it can go on for a bit longer, it's a good game to unwind with after work or before bed Silver Falcon posted:YES! I did it! Now I can adventure with Isabelle! And this makes me want to give mohun4 another whirl, but I've tried to get into that series probably 5 times now and it just ain't happening.

I like it a heck of a lot but I also haven't owned a handheld since the OG DS. The 3D is super cool and pretty rarely breaks on me.

Metrohunter posted:I'm looking to update from my old original 3DS. Looking at getting an XL a New 3DS™ I would say it's worth it- with the New 3DS you get an analog nub and second set of triggers that functions as a built-in Circle Pad Pro, faster loading times on menu elements/eShop/Browser/a few games (Smash is the one I know of), faster downloads, and eye-tracking 3D. Oh and a few games (MH4 is the only one I know of) use higher-resolution textures when played on the New 3DS. Also there will probably be like at least one or two more games that are New3DS-Only, but don't buy it specifically because of that. Buy it because of that first list of things up there. Personally I saw no reason to upgrade from my Old3DSXL, but if I was buying another one I don't think it would be a question.

It will blow your mind. The more stable 3D is worth it by itself, in my opinion. I don't get any eyestrain at all on the new.

So when I turn my 3ds xl on, the backlight turns on but the screen stays black. The only thing I can do is press the power button which brings up the shutdown screen. If I press the home button from there it brings up the home menu banner but just freezes there. Im guessing theres no way I can fix this?

Abu Dave posted:Oh man thanks for that help guys, I didn't know you were supposed to brave so much. The Brave/Default system didn't get the best explanation especially in the demo. Generally, if you can finish a pack of mobs off in one round if you do 3 Braves, you should do so. If not, the easiest way to proceed is to Default until you have 3 BP, then Brave 3 times, rinse and repeat. Until you unlock Performer, anyway. Some hot tips: 1. You can press left+right on the D-Pad to speed up/slow down battle animations (I'd pay :tenbux: for this feature in the next Pokemon game) 2. Changing difficulty and encounter rate can be done on the fly in the Tactics settings and has zero effect on xp gain. If you're really banging up against a wall, consider turning difficulty to easy and encounter rate up and just autoing your way through some levels. You can also use this feature to grind out job points for new jobs you get (you can even turn off XP and gold gain from battles for this if you don't want to trivialize the game) 3. Not getting hit and finishing a battle in one round (which is what Braving is for) gets you more Job Points and XP. The more battles you can do this in succession the more bonus you get. There's a whole thread for BD you could peruse. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3585064

FirstAidKite posted:Was code of princess a good game, and if not, why not It's not the worst thing you could buy at $14.99. The dialog and characters are pretty fun, and they really do go out of their way to not be super creepy, even with what the main character is wearing. Once you beat the game, you can play almost every character in the game in Vs and the stage selection trail thing, and that includes minor enemies, villager NPCs, and even bosses (including the final boss). The game play and game lay out is just kind of bad though, all of the stages are just small hallways, and the fighting is a special move mess, where you just spam the same special move to kill enemies before they stun lock you to death. Honestly, if you want a better game in the same Genre, Streets of Rage 2 or Senran Kagura are much better.

I'm not sure what the prepatched version was like, but I assume it actually ran the game backwards.
