Kid Icarus could've been a visual novel and it still would've won that prize on writing alone.

Quick pick up and play - I still bring it on trips over the switch for this sometimes Rhythm Heaven Warioware Final Fantasy Theatrythm Involved JRPGs that feel like a SNES game - Nobody really makes these for console anymore Bravely Default SMT 4 + Apocalypse Fire Emblem Awakening Pokemon As for games that are just good games regardless of system: Zelda Link Between Worlds Mario 3D Land - Not the best mario game, but pretty good

Commander Keene posted:That sounds pretty rough for lefties; is there a left-handed control scheme? I'm left handed and essentially we can get hosed lol!! Well not fully. You can customize the controls. I changed it so the crosshair would be moved around using XABY buttons as directions. It's not as accurate or good as a touchscreen but I beat the game with it just fine and still really enjoyed it. You may struggle if you want to do all challenges and beat every level on the highest difficulty but if you don't then a lefty can beat the game easily enough at decent levels of intensity.

You should also all go buy LBX because it's fun robot-battling action and as close to a Custom Robo game as you can get  .

Has anyone tried the Circle Pad Pro support for Kid Icarus? I got one for that game and Monster Hunter Generations because I'm left handed and had trouble with both Kid Icarus and the MonHun demo. Haven't had a chance to go back and try it myself. Right now I'm creeping through Layton X Ace Attorney anyways, I like it.

The Circle Pad Pro Support in Kid Icarus is alright.

homeless snail posted:It works with the CPP and the New 3DS stick yeah, it just duplicates the left stick. Crap sounds like I might not be able to force it to keep character movement on the left and aiming on the right. Oh well. I kinda was able to cope a little with movement on right and stylus in my left hand for Metroid Prime: Hunters but maan did it feel awkward and wrong.

Yeah you can't turn it into a dual stick shooter. If you do try to play it anyway, my tip is don't treat the touch screen like a virtual analog stick like in Hunters. Its more like a trackball, the cursor has some weight and inertia to it and if you give the screen a good flick it'll continue to roll across the screen until you hit the screen again to "catch" it. More comfortable and imo easier to aim if you're primarily flicking and catching rather than meticulously dragging the cursor onto targets. There's a shooting range where you can mess around with the sensitivity and inertia settings to find what works best for you, it'll almost definitely need some tweaking.

What's happening with the 2DS/3DS now? My OG 3DS XL is starting to get finicky, so I was looking to maybe get a New 2DS or 3DS, and trying to find one here in Canada is surprisingly tricky. They're out there, but I was assuming you could buy one anywhere and everywhere. Most places seem to be out of stock, very limited quantities, or just selling refurb units. Even Nintendos own online store has more refurbs than new units available. Is Nintendo ramping down production in favor of some unannounced new handheld, or trying to make the Switch their only console since it can perform as a handheld?

They've also been quite open about the Switch being the platform for both home and handheld going forward ever since it launched. Especially after they merged both hardware divisions into one.

It’s rumored that Nintendo is releasing a cheaper Switch that may be a 3DS replacement. I’d grab a refurb now from Nintendo.

I never upgraded my original DS from the fat version, and I have not upgraded from my original cosmo black 3DS, but I am tempted to pick up a (refurbished) new 2dsxl or 3dsxl. I never really cared to upgrade any of the Nintendo handhelds in the past because the next generation would have backwards compatibility, but this is the end of the line for this hardware and I am sad to see it go.

Of course, but it’s from some pretty reputable sources and it just makes too much sense. I loved the DS and 3DS game libraries but I’m not too sad about them ending. I always found the systems to be unergonomic to play for long periods.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:What's happening with the 2DS/3DS now? I don't think the New 3DS XL has officially been discontinued but I imagine Nintendo has been selling existing stock of it since 2017 aside from a few special edition (limited quantities). The New 2DS XL has been Nintendo's primary "3DS" model during it's sunset. There's no officially announced replacement, but it's clear that the Switch platform is the future of Nintendo handhelds. The (frankly, unsurprisingly) rumor is that a cost-reduced Switch model will be released to fill the gap in the market for a ~$150 USD handheld with the 3DS platform going away, but nobody knows exactly what form that will take or exactly when it's coming. This fall is a very likely bet though. Also Nintendo's refurbs are great so don't hesitate to get one if they have a model you like.

Nintend's own development studios have been working on the Switch platform exclusively for years and there's no 3DS releases slated after Persona Q2. That means Nintendo is either going to announce a new handheld compatible with Switch software or they're going to abandon the lucrative sub-$200 handheld market that they've dominated for 30 years now.

ExcessBLarg! posted:What's the alternative though? There's nothing competing with the Switch in the handheld space, and they have a platform that works for both home and on the go for the full library of Nintendo Switch software. It's cheaper to develop for one platform than two, runs drat-near anything in the indie market on a sanely-built nVidia chipset, and you can sit multiple people down to play with the thing even when it's out of the dock. It's also sold obscenely well, so I don't think Nintendo are too worried about it not being a lucrative market.

The 2DS line are made out of good old-fashioned nintendium, 3DSes are more prone to breaking between the extra weight and condensed internals cramping other fiddly bits but yeah nobody’s going to be getting new stock so if you want it new new and not “questionably refurbished”, act fast
