I dont know, if you're able to run CIAs you can get PSX games at full 60 FPS. If you have to run 3dsxl some are 20 some are 50 and they only just started working last week. it's only uphill from here.

I love Animal Crossing to death, but Happy Home Designer doesn't look that interesting to me. I haven't played New Leaf yet, does it still have anything resembling a community around it?

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Anyway, has anyone with a JP 3DS tried the 7th Dragon demo? Yeah, it's pretty decent! I didn't play the PSP games but visually it seems the same right down to there being no stereoscopic 3D. There's only four preset characters to use in the demo, but the different classes are pretty fun to use. I particularly like the Duelist since it's a mage that uses Magic the Gathering cards instead of magic. They draw a different elemental card each turn which can then be played by itself (plus the mana cost) to summon a monster, or combined with other cards for traps that trigger counterattacks or field effects that target all opponents. The battle system is the same, although you can retry battles when you die even on the standard difficulty level. I don't really know what's happening with the story at all, but you fight a dragon and that's cool. Then you fight an unwinnable battle with an even bigger dragon and get saved by some psychic guy showing up and punching it? This seems like a good video game.

About to get on a plane for 9 hours in a little under two weeks, so I'm looking for a new game for my Old 3DS XL Loved Link Between Worlds Ocarina of Time Fire Emblem: Awakening Animal Crossing: New Leaf Started but not fussed New Super Mario Bros 2 Super Mario 3D Land (Mario games seem a little bit "whatever" after Galaxy and Galaxy 2) Luigi's Dark Moon Mansion Ghost Thing Started and dislike Donkey Kong Country Returns Considering Smash Brothers 3DS Shovel Knight Bravely Default Anyone able to steer me towards anything in particular?

Majora's Mask, obviously. Shovel Knight's a good pick but you'll probably be done before your flight's over. I wouldn't really suggest Smash as a game to play on a long flight.

Yeah if you loved OoT and LBW, then Majoras Mask is the obvious choice there, unless you're burned out on Zelda. Bravely Default is a great game but somewhat divisive, plus it's not like any of the games you mentioned as liking or disliking. I clocked up over 100 hours in my playthrough of it, which I think is the most I've ever played any game. Except maybe Super Mario 3D Land, which I think I've spent 100 hours attempting Special 8-Crown on its own.

You only need to care about stat tweaking if you want to play multiplayer or get huge runs in the postgame Battle facility. The campaign of XY is the easiest Pokemon has ever gotten.

Yeah; Majora's Mask is one of the best examples of the "side content" being just as expansive and engaging as the dungeons themselves.

You can still run around and collect them all just like you did as a kid. In fact, collecting them all is even easier now that you can trade online. The difficulty is even sort of adjustable now in the form of the EXP share. It's a key item now. Turn it on and you will quickly steamroll everything. Keep it turned off and enjoy a nice smooth level curve balanced for you having the usual team of 6. Or do what I did and turn it on and use a rotating stable of 10-12 guys as you see fit. Also you can turn off the battle animations.

My recommendations would be: 1. Fantasy Life - pocket size ARPG that's surprisingly addicting. I put in way too many hours. If you do decide to get it, buy the Origin Island DLC from the get go. 2. Majora's Mask - It's Zelda and it's amazing. My only concern is that there are some parts where I had to refer to a guide, which you might be able to do so. 3. LBX - miniature robot fights with a poo poo load of customization. Really fun and deep. Made by the gods that are Level-5. 4. Senran Kagura 2 - Tits with some fighting. Your flight neighbor might be wary of you though.

The whole "ONLY 4 DUNGEONS!" complaint was stupid when Majora's Mask was new and it's even stupider now since Ocarina of time isn't fresh in our minds like it was back then. The idea that a Zelda game has to have some arbitrary number of dungeons to be good is asinine and really undersells what makes Zelda a worthwhile series in the first place. In terms of actual, meaningful content, Majora's Mask at the very least matches Ocarina. And I'd say it far surpasses it when it comes to story, characters, and variety of content.

Evfedu posted:I remember playing MM on the N64 and it literally depressing the poo poo out of me. I barely played through it on N64 and mostly had a friend play while I watched. The constant cycle of failure was too psychologically challenging for little Manky Jr. Playing it from start to finish on 3DS made it my favorite Zelda game. There are a lot of practical improvements in playability, for one thing, regarding save points and the time travel mechanic that are much appreciated. And it looks a lot better. It can be depressing in parts but there are regular moments of humor and beauty that stand out the more for it. The music is fantastic and deserves decent headphones if possible. There are four dungeons then sort of a weird fifth one, and the amount of time it takes to get to new areas to get to the next dungeon is on par with a dungeons-worth each of puzzles and monster-slaying. Adding in all the stuff you can do if you talk to everybody, and especially if you're going for every mask (and you better), I put something like 36 hours into MM vs. 23 in OoT. As for Pokémon X, I got it on release and pick it up now and then but only just got eight badges. It feels incredibly bland and lazy and it actively bothers me that barely any of it is in 3D and the battles are near-unwatchable with the frame drop. (Yes MM drops frames in 3D, especially if you always wear the bunny ears and spin the camera a lot, but it would last a few seconds max.) I wish I had gotten X on cart so I could resell it. But if you're fine with a nothing-interesting-new, three-quarter-assed retread and just want a 2D Pokémon game, well, it's perfect by that standard. e: Very much this PantsBandit posted:In terms of actual, meaningful content, Majora's Mask at the very least matches Ocarina.

To jump in with useful suggestions other than what was given, if you don't mind having more than one game to mix it up, I'd say: 1- SHOVEL KNIGHT (with the free DLC, this might last the entire flight) 2- Monster Hunter 4 (this can easily eat up millions of hours) 3- StarFox 64 (if you've never played it) 4- Luigi's Mansion 5- Resident Evil (if you like the RE4 style, it's pretty good) Make sure you bring a USB cable.

I mean dungeons are my favorite part of Zelda games, so Majora's Mask only having 4 dungeons (with only one of them being any good) is pretty disappointing  Majora's Mask is still good but I think dismissing complaints about the dungeons is dumb because its dungeons are probably some of the worst in the series ~Coxy posted:My real life friends have different regions hardware between them based on how keen they are on imports/exclusives.

Actually, Majora's Mask has some of the best and most interesting dungeons in the series  Also, just because you aren't in a modular dungeon doesn't mean you aren't doing "dungeon" tasks all throughout that game. Off the top of my head you've got Under the Graveyard, Ikana Castle, the Pirate Fortress, pretty much the entirety of the Goron Village area. They all require you to do puzzle-solving to progress they just happen to not be inside a dungeon. PantsBandit fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Oct 5, 2015 |

All you really need to know is that water beats fire and you can probably complete the game.

4 dungeons is about 4 too few imo. I like the big boss fights and new item you get from dungeons. Link Between Worlds was probably as fun as it was because I got ten dungeons worth of stuff to do! Plus a pretty packed over world  Hmmm. Still kinda torn, might just grab shovel knight and force myself back into Luigi Big Dark Ghost House
