I've heard code of princess had lots of framerate issues but I also heard that they patched the game to not have as many framerate issues. Is that true, because I can't seem to find anything online about the game ever being patched, and the reviews I've read fall on 2 extremes of "the game is really bad because of framerate" and "the game is fun and good and well made and is kinda repetitive" without any mention of the framerate issues

There is no patch and I played a few levels, but the only time I noticed the framerate issues is when you use Lady Zozo homing attacks on a screen full of enemies.

Does anybody know where I can get a replacement for the thing you insert into the DS Lite's GBA port to cover it up?

Two questions:

1. Aside from portability is there any reason I should go out of my way to try to get Tales of the Abyss 3D or is it exactly the same as if I just got a copy and played it on PS2?
2. Is Dragon Quest 7 and 8 coming out in English still a rumor/hearsay or has there been anything definitive about those?

1. Load times are waaay better on the 3DS, though the lack of a 2nd joystick can be annoying since you can map additional artes to the right stick on PS2, but on the 3DS that is done on the touch screen. It's a good port overall though.

2. Nothing official, though those rumors sound solid.

It loads much faster, but that's about it. It's the same game otherwise.

It's not even a rumor anymore. It's a "nothing" because there's nothing to show.

Jeez, to get the right color I'd have to buy it from overseas. I might just keep a GBA game in there forever.

The only thing I can come up with is "retail releases" vs "eShop-only"...but "real" is a really weird way to express that. Either that, or its a comment on Binding of Isaac itself. Which, regardless of what you think about the theme, has amazingly solid gameplay.

Yeah...after my last red-text, I rebought my avatar from my phone...and even if a gif is animated, uploading it to SA from iOS strips the animation for some reason.

Then no; there have been zero non-port New 3DS exclusive titles thus far, with none announced.

There probably aren't going to be any original n3DS-exclusive games, because that would be dumb.

ill be happy with more of these "better on new 3ds" games because none of them have made me really feel the need to update but in a year or two when my xl breaks it will be nice to play mh4u with better textures

It's pretty bad regardless and I regret ever buying it. There are better beat-em-ups.

I can't really imagine how Rune Factory would not be anime. Like I can't really imagine the concept of a lighthearted farming sim/RPG that isn't going to look either like anime or like a brightly color kid's cartoon that is probably indistinguishable from an anime.

On the goon-anime-scale I'm pretty sure that mainline Harvest Moon isn't anime.
