I decided to get Non-Mike Tyson's Punch-Out from the current 3DS eshop sale, does anyone know if this version is beholden to the same timing issues as other emulations or is the timing just slightly different from the Mike Tyson version? Because after punishing my way up to Bald Bull 2 I'm trying to use the same strategies as the superhuman in this video from last AGDQ and it's just not working at all. When I do the bit where he blocks a high punch, then counters with a jab that you can dodge and counter with a low punch to get a star out of him, there's too much delay after the dodge before it lets me punch and he just blocks the low punch as well.

I've played like 45 minutes so far and everyone just wants me to do their chores and tend a farm, but the tutorial indicates tons of other mechanics like raising skills and friendships and taming animals and stuff. So far it seems simultaneously extremely tedious and overwhelming so I haven't yet felt like pushing on to see if it gets interesting.

There's a lot to do in the game and you can do things at your own pace. Also just gonna warn you it contains a lot of anime, so if you're allergic to that kind of thing, you might want to avoid it. If not, feel free to get it.

I got the New Nintendo 3DS animal crossing bundle and I thought it came with a download code for Animal Crossing: New Leaf (which generally has 9/10 reviews) but actually it has Happy Home Decorator which it turns out is a totally different game that I think might be bad. Still worth it, as now I own the best ever iteration of the 3DS hardware.

I haven't gone through any other EOs besides 4 but I liked it a lot, so I'd recommend it too. Was very easy to get into the flow of things with it and I can see myself using it as a launchpad into playing the other games.

You can pretty much do whatever you want in that game. Untold is a bit more strict in what you should do and not as forgiving. Also yeah the Grimoires are a terrible (but thankfully ignorable) mechanic. But $10 is a really good price for Untold, so go for it if you want.

Untold is really fun but I started with their weird forced story and I was okay with it until I wanted to try customizing classes myself. At that point I started 4 and it's very good. I imagine Untold is cool if you start on Classic, especially for the price. 4 will be on sale soon almost certainly if you are willing to wait.

One big release in Europe (but not Australia!) this week: Mario & Luigi Paper Jam! It's reviewing okay, with the biggest complaint being that they Sticker Star'd it in the sense that the characters are mostly existing SMB characters with few to no original characters. Australia is getting Yokai Watch this week, so I guess you Euro dorks can import it before xmas if you're really desperate. On the eShop front, Pokemon Picross launches worldwide this week; it's free-to-play with optional microtransactions for in-game currency, you know the deal. NA is also getting Dementium Remastered, a port of the DS FPS/horror game with new difficult settings, new control options, revised saving/enemy respawning and 60FPS 3D. Lots of games are on sale in NA right now. Kid Icarus Uprising is on sale in PAL-land right now. Story of Seasons - out now!

PhilippAchtel posted:Let's be honest, the ps vita is a failure primarily due to its lack of Mario Kart and Fire Emblem, not due to its design. The Vita was a nice solid bit of hardware, Sony just poo poo the bed because they thought "hey, people would surely buy portable versions of games they already own  " would work as the primary driving force for pushing units instead of exclusive titles. Which worked for all of five minutes before people likely realized they could spend a little more for a PS3 and the same games, or better versions of, along with a much larger library of preexisting titles to poke through for cheap.

I've only seen one review of Paper Jam so far and they said it's a really fun game and really charming and the characters are handled well but the setting is paint by the numbers with nothing too interesting thrown in and something called the lakitu board being a pacing killer. It also said you could skip literally every tutorial in the game!! I'm still plenty excited for it.

Paper Jam is getting good reviews around from what I saw. Just don't expect new characters or settings or anything that you haven't seen in previous Paper/ML games story-wise. UK people, Zavvi has some Cyber Monday or whatever sales going on with good 3DS stuff: Professor Layton: and The Miracle Mask £7 Pokémon Art Academy £12 Ultimate NES Remix £12 Professor Layton: and the Azran Legacy £15 Kid Icarus: Uprising (Includes 3DS Stand) £16

Re: "Played Monster Hunter for 45 minutes and was bored": That's a totally valid complaint. Monster Hunter front-loads with boring quests for babbies to get you used to peripheral systems like gathering ingredients, crafting, the various town shops, and also to give you a chance to play around with the controls in a low-pressure environment. The first few "big" monsters you fight are usually lame, too, like just dinosaurs and large animals that are maybe 2 or 3 times your character's size, and don't bring much to the table. I think the game is at its most fun and impressive when you're fighting actual wyverns and dragons, and other things that are like 10 times your size. It feels like a real boss fight, and the 3D effect on the 3DS is really good here at enhancing the sense of scale. They tend to open up the game with smaller monsters that end up being practically comedy enemies further on in, though. Great Jaggi, Kecha Wacha, Seltas, Lagombi; they're all kind of goofy little dudes with easy patterns, relatively low HP, a silly appearance, or a combination of those things. I think it would improve the franchise's ability to pull in new fans if they had a more interesting "tutorial" monster than Great Jaggi. The Dah'ren Mohran during the intro doesn't count; fighting Dah'ren Mohran on a boat in a highly scripted event isn't representative of how the game is. I think MH4U could have been totally fine using Tetsucabra as its first large monster. It's physically large enough to feel like a big, impressive boss fight, its weapons and armor are really good for beginners, it has big, flashy attacks that it also telegraphs like crazy, it has multiple breakable parts... it's just more representative of what I feel the game is "about" than Great Jaggi, which is somewhere between an oversized velociraptor and a tiny T-Rex, has one breakable part, and doesn't do anything cool. Great Jaggi is a total joke, and any time he shows up in an Unstable mission, there's like a 50% chance that you'll either ignore him or take the 2 minutes required to totally clown him for extra Caravan Points. Even in multiplayer, where everybody is usually in a hurry to finish the mission, I'd say 50% of the time the whole party just drops what they're doing and dogpiles the Great Jaggi who wandered into the wrong neighborhood. I think new players deserve a more interesting introduction to the game than Great Jaggi.

Speaking as someone who just started playing with MH4U as my first MH, the Great Jaggi has the advantage of being the size of what would normally be a boss in any other game, and is pretty tame, so it makes a reasonably good intro to fighting bigger monsters, and a nice contrast with later bosses. The issue is probably more that you don't then fight a "real" boss.

My uncle who works at Nintendo messaged me this weird picture. It was addressed to his boss -- the old man still can't use an email application it seems. I wonder what it's all about, though?? I'd trade Paper Jam any time to play the new Pokemon MD game instead. Or Stella Glow. Or Yokai Watch.
