So now that i've finally had a chance to take a look at this badge arcade to see what all the rabbit hate is about :

Not sure why people keep freaking out about it. Does he constantly try to guilt-trip you into paying for just another round in the English version? 'Cause every time i decline his offers he's like "No biggie! "Yeah that's fair, your choice!" "You don't have to pay, after all!" and stuff. Seems just really nice, low-key and non-confrontational about this considering what the arcade basically is (a gambling machine).

The bunny rules. His worst offense is, occasionally, he'll ramble on about "my favorite video game ever" for a few minutes, usually pertaining to some new badges for the day. Sometimes he'll ask you trivia questions about the game, and it always results in at least one free play. Don't forget to play the practice catcher once a day for free play(s).

Curiously, they changed his reaction when you decline his paid play offer from the Japanese version. He actually slinks his head beneath his shoulders and guilt trips you.

After visiting it once, i can say i'm not really into the thing, but i'm still gonna be laughing about all those idiots who mysteriously won 300 badges in a day without paying a single cent recently getting banned and wondering that they get thrown out for what basically amounts to cheating in a casino.

They probably changed his reaction because the EU has laws against children's games pressuring the player to spend money. Same thing happened to the StreetPass Mii Plaza DLC.

I have 500 badges because I wanted Kirby and Pikmin all over my screen.

I've spent some money on it but not that much but that number makes me feel guilty anyway.

I bought a couple of plays on the first day or two but since then I haven't spent anything and hit 200 badges a while back just from the free plays

It's a neat way to kill like 3 minutes

The consensus seems to be that it's no 1000 Year Door or Bowser's Inside Story but still good and better than the last two RPGs.

I like Fire Emblem but I can't play more than one mission a day because I take so long to plan every turn and it's really draining. I'll finish an hour-long mission and it'll say it was seven turns and I'm like what the gently caress. But I like when my dudes hit things and their numbers go up and they become friends with each other.

Awesome!

I had previously used the browser on my 3DS long before I considered trying to softmod it for import games. I guess I long ago doomed myself to get locked out of browserhax? I followed this guy's instructions and ended up with a solid red block on my lower screen. Rebooted my system; seems none the worse for wear but I'm not any closer to getting this thing to play a Japanese 3DS game.

I tried it again and now I get a message in the 3DS software saying "An error has occurred. Please save your data in any software currently in use, and then restart the system." Am I boned? Will I never play my stupid idiot Asian wackadoo card game on my dumbass handtoy? Help, please.

I had to try it around ten to fifteen times before it finally worked. It's super finicky. Also, it worked after I switched my theme to "no theme," but that might be an unrelated correlation. Or an instruction that wasn't listed on the instructions.

No word on who's making this thing, but Jump is running a competition to get a fan-designed fusion character put into the game. Let's go Postboy/Badman!

The devs on this game have been confirmed: its by Ganbarion, the studio that made Jump Super Stars/Ultimate Stars for DS, as well as Pandora's Tower on Wii and that One Piece game with amiibo support that I was sure would get localised but didn't.

I dunno maybe I'm bad at the game but I often end up having to intricately plan stuff so that the guys I'm trying to level get kills while also no one vulnerable is in range of a living enemy at the end of a turn.

Although the last mission I played (on the docks, 12 I think?) I was just trying to plug a chokepoint and inadvertently set off a cascade of a dozen units suiciding against Kellam and leveling him like three times in one turn so I think I'm seeing what you mean.

Even after I got it to work, that's what I did too. The CPS2 and Neo Geo Emulators were way worse than advertised (no games I wanted to play worked). The softmod isn't worth it.

I want to get an American regular sized new 3ds without having to buy games bundled with it or have it come with stupid face plates. Will this be possible in the near future?

Alternatively,

1. Is Animal Crossing a cool game?
2. Does a 3ds in a bundle come with a default (solid white/black) faceplate in addition to the customized cartoony picture one?
The Animal Crossing bundle doesn't come with white faceplates. I would recommend ordering coverplates from Japan, but you probably won't be able to get plain white ones. (but you can get other colors)

I'm so hard for Etrian Odyssey now. Just got started on Millennium Girl, and already the QoL improvements are making it feel even better than EO4. I thought one first person dungeon crawler/draw-your-own-drat-map RPG was enough thanks to Persona Q, but as it turns out, those were the good aspects of the game. I think the things that soured me was the ultra fanservice writing and the gimmicks in the later dungeons. Oh, and the last boss being a two-part 45-minute fight that could go to poo poo at any turn.

I started in Story Mode per the game's recommendation, is it worth playing through it this way, or is Classic Mode more enjoyable?

Puyo Puyo Tetris you have Ubisoft to thanks for since they are holding the Tetris license in the West at the moment and not allowing other companies to release Tetris games.

EO4 is the superior game so if you would prefer to play classic mode just stick with EO4. All Untold has going for it is some QoL improvements and the story mode.

Story mode is pretty bland, but you don't get access to the extra dungeon in Classic, so you end up hurting on the level curve in the latter.

I played 4 first before Untold and I was perfectly happy with story mode. The multi classing is terrible though. That's the one area where things got worse.
