The Ferret King posted:I still have a DS Lite that I've dusted off and started playing again on my breaks at work. I'm really not looking to get a newer handheld, but maybe you guys won't mind my question here. For you RPG needs, definitely consider Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. Really long and weird title, really, really great game. One of my all-time favorites from the DS's amazing library. Also try The World Ends with You, which is another great RPG that makes creative use of the touch-screen and dual screen mechanic. And has some pretty great music. Definitely get the Castlevania games. Aria of Sorrow (GBA), Dawn of Sorrow (sequel to Aria on DS) at minimum. The other two DS Castlevanias are pretty great too, though. The other two GBA Castlevanias are kind of hit or miss.

Protect Me Knight 2's localization is dead in the water, right? Or should 6 months of no news be normal for a translation of a simple eshop title?

One of my all-time favorites from the DS's amazing library. Can vouch for this. Replaying it at the moment (well at least until I picked up LBX) and still really enjoying it after all these years.

Do Level 5 games for the 3DS suck less than what they unleash onto the PS3?

Now I'm just sad that it exists and we are not getting it  I don't suppose there's any chance of it releasing anywhere else? The original XBLIG release barely had anything to translate.

Protect Me Knight 2 is definitely still coming, they just haven't been posting many updates (and most of their updates are in Japanese so they don't get reported).raditts posted:There's a Protect Me Knight 2? Now I'm just sad that it exists and we are not getting it There is and it's much better than the original. They haven't said anything to suggest a port to another system but the 3DS version will come over sooner or later.

So Monster Hunter 3 and 4 are on sale (for 13/30 bucks respectively) along with Etrian Odyssey 4. Which of these would you goons recommend?

Anyone still playing Mario Golf? The communities are basically dead, and I prefer playing with people rather than just throwing scores onto a board.

Monster Hunter 4 is amazing. It has a bit of a barrier to entry because you have very deliberate movements and you can't cancel out of attacks, leading a lot of people to declare "the controls suck". A few hours in it clicks with you and then you're fully committed to Monster Hunting for life. If the idea of killing giant dinosaurs/spiders/monkeys/dragons and creating armor and weapons out of their body parts sounds good, then try it out. It's a challenging, fun, exciting game with a great multiplayer scene. Definitely check into the game's thread for tips though because there are a lot of mechanics/game systems to juggle, it's actually not that complicated but it can seem overwhelming at first and it helps a lot to have someone say "Oh yeah that weapon is meant for this kind of playstyle, also don't worry about palico gear", etc.

SelenicMartian posted:Does the early game in MH4 involve something like freezing your arse off for 45 minutes just to kill an ostrich? Only in Multiplayer. Single player ramps up a lot faster than MH3U did, and most of the "go get some mushrooms" or "carry this egg" quests are optional or give you town upgrades for your time. You also get to play with the Charge Blade, which is the most anime weapon to date in a mainline Monster Hunter.

There's a bit of learning curve at the start as you acclimate to some of the game's concepts, but once you get to the actual 'you hunt monsters, and then carve em up for pieces to make better gear to hunt bigger and nastier monsters, rinse/repeat' part- which honestly doesn't take long if you don't want it to- there's a lot of action and just about no 'fuckin around, doing nothing' to contend with. This has some gathering/farming to it, so if you do want to do a bit of fuckin around doin nothing for a bit, you got that as well. Best starting advice I can give is once you get to the village, run through each of the weapon tutorials. They'll give you an idea of what fighting monsters is like, and also help you find a weapon you'll be happy with.

I bought Senran Kagura 2 because, unlike Dark_Titsanime I have no shame in my love of fat anime tiddies. It plays pretty well and the frame rate's solid even if the lack of a block or cancel/parry system is weird (unless I am missing something?). Oh and it's a blessing you can skip all the garbage visual novel writing by pressing the start button.

Other than the pretty solid gameplay I actually really liked the crafting system in the last one.

Oh and it's a blessing you can skip all the garbage visual novel writing by pressing the start button. To make replays faster, you can set the game to automatically skip story section on the configurations menu. Obviously, this only works with scenes already seen (doesn't matter if you skipped them) As for the game system, the most important thing is to learn to use and abuse the warp kunai.
