Codename STEAM is a 3DS game by the Advance Wars team, it sorta counts!

A bargain-bin SRPG called Mercenaries Saga 2 just came out on the eShop and a lot of people have said it's pretty good for $5 or whatever, primarily because it's a totally shameless ripoff of Final Fantasy Tactics.

Keep in mind that Codename STEAM isn't that good. It's ok but you'd be better off with Valkyria Chronicles.

The Steamworld Dig followup is a side-view SRPG, too:

So is Majora's Mask supposed to have framerate issues unless your using a New 3DS or something? Why does this game not run smoothly?

Majora's Mask hitches sometimes on the New 3DS too, though it seems better with the 3D off. I think the N64 version topped out at 20 FPS and still dipped below that, but it's disappointing they couldn't get the remake to run perfectly smoothly on much more powerful hardware.

I ran with 3D off the whole time on Majora and don't think I noticed any major slowdown (on a regular XL).

The guy doing the Ironfall exploit appears to have been Nintendoed. The game was pulled from the eShop and he is being very careful with his words on twitter.

Sold, at 'shameless ripoff of FFT'.

What's the deal with Codename STEAM then? What's the gameplay like? I didn't look too hard into it because largely all I've seen about it is sass. I actually kind of enjoyed that old DS game about digging dinosaurs out of the ground then fighting with them in this lovely rip-off Pokemon system... I can sometimes enjoy games that are broadly regarded as trash.

I also. But I'm only up to the Ikana Castle thus far.

To the OP, are you sure you're experiencing regular framerate drop and not the weird motion-blur-stutter effect of some cutscenes?

They made a new one of those, Fossil Fighters something or other.




Picross E6 is okay, BTW. It only gives bonus content for E - E3 though

It's like Valkyria Chronicles but a little more brainless, from what people have said. I didn't get the complaints about long wait times during enemy phases because I thought they were identical in length to VC and that was playing it pre-patch. They've apparently sped up enemy AI time by double with the patch, but people still complain. I dunno.

I only played the demo of Codename Steam, but I didn't like how the game punished you for playing conservatively with endless enemies and punished you for trying to get to the exit quickly by swamping you with ambushes and overwatch. I'm sure there's a happy medium in there that the game expects you to find, but I didn't and decided I had better games to play.

He was working on releasing an exploit that used a free game to allow people to use homebrew but not ISOs. It used a free game, Ironfall, as opposed to a physical game like OoT or Cubic Ninja.

I'm up to close to 80 hours with Fire Emblem: Awakening and am enjoying the hell out of it; what other strategy RPGs can be recommended for 3DS from there? I am a bit preferential to ones that let you grind up units like hell if you want to.
I haven't played much of Codename STEAM, but as you can tell from the thread it's a bit polarising. Some people enjoyed it. There's a demo so you can check that out before buying.

You have to beat every stage and special stage with both Mario and Luigi, get all the golden flags and star medals in them (you only need to do this once, not with both brothers) and then you'll unlock the Special 8-Crown level which up until I played Champion's Road in 3D World I thought was the hardest Mario level there was.

Is the OoT exploit actually possible with just a cartridge? What do you even have to do to do it? I didn't really find any information when I went looking for it last time it was mentioned.

I actually have no idea if it's possible with OoT since it's called Ninjhax and afaik, it used the QR code function in Cubic Ninja to actually do the exploit. OoT might've only been for the 9.2 thing.
