whats the general opinion on super mario 3D land on 3DS? i loved 3D world a lot
It's my third favorite game I've played on 3DS after Link Between Worlds and Shovel Knight. It's also one of the few games I've liked enough to 100%. You're in for a good time!

I think 3D Land is just okay and will probably be really underwhelming if you play it after 3D World since that game's basically an all-around better version of it.

I beat 3D Land, got 3D World, played the poo poo out of 3D World, then went back and finished 100%ing 3D Land. It's not as good or inventive as World (few games are), but it's really fun and a great game in its own right.

So, which of the older Fire Emblems are worth checking out? I figure the first one must be good, but people seem conflicted about Sacred Stones and Shadow Dragon.

I've enjoyed basically every FE except awakening, but I haven't played the DS remake of the older one.

I still haven't finished 3D Land because my back log is absurd, but I have really enjoyed it even though I wish that one could have Luigi, the superior Mario brother, from the start. The Tanooki suit looks great but it does make some levels too easy, and sometimes not having it makes some levels too hard. I really like the Boomerang Brothers suit and I wish that they had done more with it, such as making switches that you have to hit or items to fetch. Nevertheless, a fine game. I have 3D World as well, but I am waiting to play it until after I finish 3D Land 100% for obvious reasons.

On another note, all of the fantastic SNES releases on the New 3DS are making me think about upgrading. If I do, what's the best way to transfer my data? I have a universal USB card reader, so I was hoping that I could copy my SD card to my PC and then move it back to the micro SD card when I upgrade, but I"m not sure if it's as simple as that. Any thoughts/previous experience?

most of those sales choices seem random as gently caress and not that great, I always mistake steamworld dig for Heist and get excited. Butoden was a pretty fun demo for a kind of sequel to those old DBZ snes games so getting 10 bux off that is actually a good deal, at the very least.

Probably the most worthwhile of the bunch; you can play the games you unlock in the museum so it has a good amount of G&W games, like at least 20 if I remember correctly.

But it's not mobile so there's that?

Game & Watch Gallery 4 is pretty great. Not every game in it is that fun, including some of the modern versions, but there are so many of them that it barely matters.

I do hate how the version of Fire seems way harder to me in it compared to the first game, probably due to the screen being wider and thus making it really hard to judge between two falling babies in the first and third positions at times.

Mario's Bombs Away is one of the Museum games (which don't give stars or have a Modern remake) and it's pretty rad. Bomb Sweeper and Climber also took up a lot of my time.

If it had Oil Panic and Turtle Bridge from the earlier games it would be almost perfect.

Mario Tennis Open has very little to do outside of standard matches and Ultra Smash is literally just tennis with Mario characters.
