You can't have a big game without some kind of (un)official guide, so have three humongous volumes.

Are they gonna make 3DS games for normies anymore or is it just fanservice stuff for weird people and expensive collectors editions of things to be hoarded and sold on ebay for big markup? Thoughts on this?

if you've only just got a 3ds there's a sizable library of cool and good games for both it and the ds, which is nice because the only new 3ds title i care about is releasing next year. if not, yeah basically

In other Triforce Heroes news, I've been hearing rumors that the game's online play will be region locked. A google search led me to NeoGaf, and they led me here.

quote:

If you have a strong connection, it plays beautifully. If you have rubbish internet, like me, it slows down the game to a horrible crawl for everyone to keep everything in sync. So, get on a good connection before you play I guess.

Also, you can only play with people on the same region. That should help with latency issues, but is a shame if you wanted to play with friends from around the world.

If that's the case, then it went from a 'probably would buy' to a 'will not buy' in my eyes, which is a shame, since it looked very fun.

Man, Happy Home Designer is definitely a game you should do research on before buying. I love the franchise, but i�m not hugely creative so i'm not getting a whole lot out of the game. It also has this weird issue where I have too much AND not enough choice at once for it to be practical.

I do hope they roll alot of the stuff they put into this one into the next though. Half space furniture movement, window and door dressing, ceiling furniture and front yard design are all super cool things that need to stay in. I wouldn't mind them keeping some of the buildings in town for the main street portion of the next game either.

That and the metric poo poo ton of new furniture introduced in this game.

After not enjoying it as much on the WiiU, I re-purchased Shovel Knight on the 3DS, and I gotta say it is the superior experience. It feels so much more responsive and proper. The WiiU version always felt muddy to me, but this plays great!

Probably input lag on your TV.

3D Picross 2 thoughts: it's almost exactly like the original except so much better for people who find Picross games easy.

There's the new mechanic of red/blue blocks which is okay but ultimately just gives you a new bag of logic patterns you need to learn. Much more significant, though, is that they added difficulty levels which control how many hints you get on any given puzzle. In addition to the default, which is similar to the original 3D Picross, there's an easy level that basically gives the puzzle away, as well as a tough level that limits hints to the bare minimum you need in order to solve the puzzle without guessing. That makes even the smallest, simplest puzzles in the game somewhat challenging, and the larger ones very much so. It also doubles the points you get for completing puzzles, which are used to unlock more puzzles, so if you play on tough you can get to late game puzzles really quickly. There are also time-based sections which can get tough, though the time limit was removed from most of the game.

If it's what I think it is (I could be wrong and there might have been some huge advance?), they started porting Retroarch to the 3DS, which includes a core for PSX emulation. Someone posted a video of FF7 running badly on it about a week ago I think.

So is SNES emulation and GBA emulation actually feasible on this now? Would've preferred to turn the Vita into the emulation machine but this is cool also

Edit: Wait it turns out Vita homebrew is much further along than I thought

It's probably because they can't fudge internet play as easily as they can for Splatoon or Mario Kart. Watching the previews it seems like a lot of stuff is dependent on coordinated precision and timing, which is something you just can't do reliably with several seconds of latency bouncing three ways around the world.

It still has a way to go and pretty much requires a New 3DS to get decent speeds for SNES and GBA.

I guess I did over-react a bit, then. It just seemed like with a game like this being centered around multiplayer, shrinking the possible player pool like this was a bad idea, because it would shorten the game's lifespan. If it's slowed down to the point of being unplayable for all parties, though, then locking it like that to try and prevent that scenario does make sense.

But can't you play the entire game one Link at a time in single player?

Region locking gameplay is fine for playing with random people, but it blows for playing with friends since presumably if you choose to play with someone a continent away they'll understand that some lag will be involved

They're so few and far in between that I dunno if anyone really thinks it's necessary.

Off the top of my head, Smash, MonHun4 and Majora's Mask are all enhanced on an n3DS and Xenoblade and Binding of Issac are the only exclusives that I know of. I suppose you could say AC: Happy Home Designer is enhanced because you don't need to buy an Amiibo reader for the n3DS.

Because it's a short list.

EXCLUSIVE:
Xenoblade Chronicles 3D
The Binding of Isaac

Enhanced:
Super Smash Bros (load times)
Hyrule Warriors (3D function)

Edit: Oh yeah. Monster Hunter and Ocarina did have some enhancements.

Dehry: Aug 21, 2009; Grimey Drawer

I guess you could include "Games that use a Circle Pad Pro" to pad out the list. Though the nub really doesn't work good.

Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer and Ace Combat should also be on the "enhanced" list. Along with any other Amiibo game announced.

# ? Oct 4, 2015 21:38

Detective No. 27: Jun 7, 2006

I thought about that, with the circle pad professional and NFC readers being out, I figured to only include things that only the New 3DS could pull off.

# ? Oct 4, 2015 21:42

SeANMcBAY: Jun 28, 2006; Look on the bright side.

Majora's Mask actually isn't enhanced for N3DS. It just supports the CPP like older games that supported that. It sucks since the game chugs sometimes when 3D is enabled.

Codename Steam lets you speed up battles quicker on N3DS.

I could be wrong but aren't Nintendo's region-locked online games typically only region-locked when it comes to playing with randoms but playing with friends works fine?

The 4 swords game on dsi was region locked for local play as well.

PaletteSwappedNinja: Jun 3, 2008; One Nation, Under God.

That's a different issue that affects a lot of local wireless games; it basically comes down to devs not making the effort to make them cross-compatible, I think.

Anyway, has anyone with a JP 3DS tried the 7th Dragon demo?
