Seiyal posted:Speaking of, I'm getting the itch to replay this again but I've never owned the cart for it. I've also kind of regretted not picking up Radiant Historia as well but it seems I have a dilemma here. There's remakes out for both, correct? I can get both of the originals in a nearby store but is there a reason to try for the remakes over those instead? The Radiant Historia remake isn’t worth it imo, all of the new content it adds is bad and it even fucks up the original game content by rebalancing it to be grindier. Go for the original

Go for the original The first parts subjective (though I disagree) but the second part is flat wrong. The new one is not grindy at all and has a special area for super speedy leveling if you really want that.

I wasn’t even talking about the leveling, more about the fact that they lowered the amount of money you get from enemies and increased the prices in all the shops. And the money you get from the new sidequests do not quite make up for it. Also lol if you enjoy (endgame RH spoilers) every single villain in the game getting a redemption arc that clashes horribly with the existing writing, as well as the one villain that did originally get a sort of redemption scene being given a new, worse one.

having no money ever was annoying although id rather stop playing a game then grind so i can say at the very least its not necessary. very annoying though. especially since youll never have mana crystals meaning a death is a guaranteed reload with no option to try

It makes me sad that Nintendo shut down public streetpass relays. They could have least kept them up until they stopped publishing games on the system.

How many of those relays were owned by Nintendo? Weren't most of them at McDonald's and such? So if anything, McDonald's would be the ones who want to free up their Wi-fi routers.

Nothing was "owned" by anyone at a McDonalds (or Starbucks), it is/was entirely on Nintendo's side, along the lines of: 3DS: "I'm connecting through an AP named Blah with a MAC of X:Y:Z, and I can talk to Nintendo.com, so I'm online!" Nintendo.com: "Blah and X:Y:Z? Okay, the last 3DS that was connected to that was this one, here's your info." 3DS: "Sweet, later" This is how the homebrew streetpass stuff worked, everyone who spoofed with the same AP/Mac got to trade streetpass crap with each other, it just needed an AP name that was known to Nintendo.com as "an AP that should be serving up streetpass content".

I'm 80% sure I saw a homebrew that uncaps the coins per day too. Unless it lets me mass-buy the puzzle pieces though, lol nope

Why would they shut one of the features down when they are still actively making systems and games? This does not make sense.

Sunsetting/deprioritizing social features that don't match up with Nintendo's current vision for the brand seems to be their M.O., if I had to guess

I've never used streetpass or whatever and I don't really know what tangible benefits it gives. Looking up the coins, apparently they give you things in games I've never heard of besides Link Between Worlds. And if I wanted to use that feature, I'd just add 300 coins or whatever using one of the several apps that does it.

Animal Crossing had the best use of streetpass. It was really cool to see a little neighborhood pop up of houses made by other people you walked by.

Yeah early last month I could no longer use the homepass which I only set up in March. But I managed to beat a bunch of the streetpass games finally so that was nice at least.

I could understand them not removing Miiverse from the Wii U menu since it was connected to so much with that system but it’s really weird they didn’t do it on 3DS, especially with a new model launching after the announcement that Miiverse was dying.

Streetpass is awesome. e: Strange Journey finally arrived yesterday, started playing it last night and holy poo poo the intro is long. I'm almost 2 hours in and have only just recruited the Pixie it gives you at the start.

They're not killing streetpass altogether, just the relay stations at Mcdonald or whatever, presumably because there's money involved and they don't feel like re-upping the deal. Stereoscopic 3D's been pretty much dead for a while as well, although they are making a big deal about it being part of the Captain Toad port.

I really hope the Luigi’s Mansion port has 3D. It would be weird if it didn’t since it was actually planned to be in stereoscopic 3D even on GameCube.

I don't know if it was mentioned but the team handling the Luigi's Mansion remake is Grezzo, the studio that did the N64 Zelda remakes and Ever Oasis.

2nding Bravely games and Alliance Alive. The awakening skill progression is cool in AA. It took a while to get used to the stats\positions \formations but the game difficulty is gentle enough you can still progress while learning.

tbqh I liked BD more than I liked BS, despite the "backtracking" stuff. They're both good mechanically but BS felt like the second season of a tv show that was only expecting one season and was contractually obligated to keep all the first season's characters involved in some form.

Bravely Default has a surprisingly rich and rewarding in-game universe and character dynamics for both your allies and enemies, if you're the type of dork that lets yourself get really into that. I am I almost cried at certain end points. It helps that the battle engine and job systems are really robust too.
