Pollyanna posted:Looking for a game to tide me over until *checks* Monster Hunter Stories, Samus Returns, Etrian Odyssey V, Ultra Sun/Moon, and Radiant Historia, holy gently caress. That's not bad for what's coming up in the pipe. I'm gonna be very busy this holiday season. That said, I need something to take up my time right now - the only thing that's particularly interesting that I haven't already played is Dragon Quest 8, was the 3DS version any good? DQ8 is very good. What other games have you played? If you're looking for something that plays close to MH:S, Fossil FIghters: Frontier might fit the bill. Its not as good or charming but it has a lot of very similar systems in play. (I recently picked it back up to tide me over to the XCOM 2 expansion after playing the Stories demo. Its not a must-buy game but it scratches a similar itch and has some neat stuff)

DQ8 it is  Recently sapped up all I could from Moon, and I was playing Ever Oasis and SMT4A before that. MH-wise I liked 4U and Generations, though I tend to get burned out on Monster Hunter by the time I hit the endgame. There's a demo for it too, so I'll check Stories out as soon as I get the chance.

The Stories demo is super good and long, its basically just the first chunk of the game. And your save transfers over to the full game. The only really annoying part is that you can only get Velocidrome, Kut-ku, Blue Kut-ku, Apatnoth and Azuros in it. Wanted to ride a Bulldrome

There's no practical advantage, though, right? (besides ensuring kids can't use the 3D feature, or whatever).

Pollyanna posted:DQ8 it is Now You're Playing With Power(tm) tip: If you open the menu and choose downloadable content, DQ8 saves your game before it tries connecting to check for content. Works even if WiFi is disabled. If you're in a longer dungeon (not that any are really long) or low on battery with no save point in sight, you can use this to quicksave your game. It's definitely not the intended way to use that feature, but I'll be damned if it didn't save me an hour or two from backtracking for save points throughout the course of the game.

You can just use the actual quick save instead of going through all that. It doesn't force you out of the game.

8-bit Miniboss posted:You can just use the actual quick save instead of going through all that. It doesn't force you out of the game. Doesn't the quick save slot get erased when you load the save? I lost a large chunk of progress using quick save because I had to reload an even earlier save after a dumb game over, which is how I found out about this in the first place. If you're confident, use quick save and if you're certified bad at games, use my method. edit: no, quick save is its own slot. I must be thinking of another game.

ExcessBLarg! posted:Is this a good option if I'm casually interested in a 3DS/XL/2DSXL to play Zelda LBW and the new Metroid? I've been thinking of getting a New 2DSXL since my last handheld was a DS Lite. I guess this works out to be the same price (with AC adapter) but does have the 3D. If you're remotely interested in the 3D, Link Between Worlds is probably one of the games that makes the best use of it. (And Mario 3D Land)

Any other games in the last year or so other than MHX and the Spectre Knight DLC? I know Metroid is coming, already preordered it, but anything else? Been out of the loop. I don't like JRPGs, for the most part, if that helps.

Cross-posting from the Switch thread... Atlus is setting up a European publishing arm under Sega Jacob Nahin (Senior PR Manager at Atlus USA) posted:It is a strong example of the growth we are experiencing as a company. Publishing in Europe is simply the next step for us. What this means initially for fans is a parity for launch and premium editions. From a business perspective, we’ll be better positioned to address the needs of each market in which we release our titles. It's good news I guess, but things already seemed pretty good for the consumer with Deep Silver (what with releasing things at the same time as NA, and not introducing any terrible bugs, unlike Ghostlight). I think we were also getting some limited editions? Anyway, if it means more certainty of releases of Atlus games, I'm all for it. (Probably doesn't mean too much for 3DS since Deep Silver are presumably still handling EOV, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology and SMT: Deep Strange Journey. Unless they have something else in the pipeline.)

Miitopia is cool and good. I just beat the Boss, and unlocked the end game+ and Villa stuff. It is indeed a great soundtrack. Also, I'm meme trash. And made SiIvaGunner my Dark Lord, and Toby Fox the Great Sage.

I've got a bunch of my own Miis in there (Doppelganger Agent Cooper) is my big bad guy, but some of the community creations are hard to resist. Beyoncé as the spoiled princess with Lil' Wayne as her childhood friend who's secretly in love with her was a wonderful happenstance find.
