Nintendo dropped me a birthday discount on my 3DS but I dunno what to get. My options are: Hyrule Warriors Legends Bravely Default (which I already have) Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon Smash 4 Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam Mario Kart 7 Super Mario 3DLand I'm leaning either Smash 4 or 3DLand, maybe Super Mystery Dungeon? The last pokemon game I played bored the heck out of me but this is a weird spinoff.

The games are New 3DS aware, load times are slightly less and it doesn't reboot closing the game. Hopefully they had some time to optimize it. Speaking of Pokemon: if you haven't been watching the thread, the 20th movie is out in theaters on November 5th and 6th (Sunday 12:55PM and Monday 7PM local time.) There will be a serial code given for a special Pikachu in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. https://www.fathomevents.com/events/pokemon-the-movie

I do like Roguelites but I'm really bad at them. So maybe not.

My Amazon Prime preorder of Samus Returns isn't arriving until Tuesday it appears. I've been used to release-day arrivals of Switch games. Did I get unlucky or is it the same for everyone who preordered from Amazon?

Over the last few years, every release-day game I've preordered from Amazon has arrived a day or two later, worse if there's a weekend involved. Had nothing but good results from GameStop. But I have definitely heard from folks with the reverse experience

I asked customer support about it and the best they could do was bump it up to a Monday delivery.

Looking for a couple of games to burn up my $46.01 eshop credit on 3DS. Willing to add an extra $5 or whatever to get max value out of this thing. Difficulty: No Mario (played them all, or they all blur together) No Pokemon (sorry) No RPGs (working on Bravely Default, already have a list here) No Zelda (played them all, or currently playing) No Kid Icarus (already played) No Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Shovel knight (already have) Nintendo: New Metroid coming out? Any Metroids worth buying besides Super Metroid, Metroid Zero (beat them) Which Kirby (pick one) Can my girlfriend and I play 2 player Mario Golf on one handset? Picross 3D Round 2 looks like a solid choice. Pilotwings Resort? Turn based: Steam World Heist? Advanced Wars, Tiny Metal? Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars? Other poo poo: Sudoku Clubhouse Games (played the poo poo out of this on DS) Programming Simulators (SpaceChem?) I've never played a Monster Hunter game, they're RPGs right? Rouge-y stealth platformer games like Mark of the Ninja? Also: About to head out to Asia for about 2 months, my device is a North American one, is that going to cause any issues with carts, eshop purchases etc. If I can get 2, 3 good games, rather than one really great game for my $46.01, that would be awesome

There is in fact a new metroid coming out. Steamworld heist and Picross 3D round 2 are both awesome. Can't go wrong with either of them. I'll also bring up pocket card jockey, which is loving great.

DoctorWhat posted:New metroid on Friday! Yes but is it supposed to be any good? Better than 2-3 other games? I want to get at least 10-15 hours play time out of whatever I spend my $46.01 on. New Super Mario Brothers 2 was a huge disappointment, and the Metroid platformers seem to vary widely in quality.

You don't level up your character but you kill monsters, skin them and use their body parts to make new gear so you can kill bigger and tougher monsters. Plays like a slower, more deliberate Dark Souls if you've played them. I'd recommend either 4U or Generations if you're getting one. Kirby Robobot or Triple Deluxe are both excellent and you can't go wrong with either. Pilotwings is okay I guess, but mostly seems like a short tech demo of the new system. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is a really solid and fun platformer if you haven't played the original or Tropical Freeze. Fire Emblem: Awakening is a great intro to the series if you're looking for a turn-based SRPG. Shadow Wars is similarly fun if much shorter and shallower. Smash Bros is always good, especially if you don't have it on WiiU.

They're not designed for that even on a first playthrough.

Super Metroid is like a 5-6 hour game at best. It's also amazing, but let's not beat around the bush wrt its length.

Spoderman posted:Pocket Card Jockey and Etrian Odyssey IV are must plays and great ways to spend a lot of time having a lot of fun PCJ @ $6.99 looks like a slam dunk purchase I probably spent 15 hours playing Super Metroid because I was 11 when I played it and the only platformers I'd played before that were SM1,2,3 and SMW. I think when Quake Done Quick (QDQ) and Machinima became a thing we found out that you could speed run it in under an hour. Triple Deluxe @ $19.99 looks solid, can't justify $40 for the robot one. Is there a Monster Hunter for under $25? Seems interesting, big engrossing story/world but not sure if I'll like it. With PCJ and K:TD I have $19.03 left What was the name of that crazy retro RPG that nobody reviewed and then it turned out it had a great story?

Monster Hunter is not good at plot, but it is extremely good at setting/ecology, it's bizarrely immersive for a game about hitting dragon wizards on the head with a jet hammer while your two pet cats distract it.

Monster Hunter is closer to Dark Souls but only boss fights. It isn't exactly that either but it isn't really anything like Skyrim.

I thought Monster Hunter was pretty edgy from what I had seen and heard, but then I actually tried the game and the first thing you see when you boot up the game is "Remember to take breaks meow and then!"

It's kind of its own thing it's hard to recommend though because a lot of goons seem to really hate MH even though it's extremely good once it clicks with you and you can easily put hundreds of hours into them
