Good flash cards probably work better than counterfeits too.

I don't know if I can play Pokèmon games today with a fast-forward button to both grind and just get through the battles quicker.

You really don't need to grind. If you feel the need to grind in a modern pokemon game you're either doing something very wrong, or trying to raise 30+ mons from scratch throughout a single playthrough. This is exactly why they introduced the buffed EXP share on the 3DS. Postgame, trying to raise up mons or catch the perfect specimen is another thing entirely but there's no point doing that in an emulated game that you can't transfer or trade the mons out of in the first place so that point is completely moot

Nevertheless all RPGs should allow you to fast forward through fights these days.

Where do people buy flash carts? I bought Crystal on the eshop because it was easy but I’m curious for future purchases because a lot of DS stuff is surprisingly expensive Ed: are eshop games not emulated? I’m pretty sure they can trade online with other older generation games

The game they want might not be available through official channels and/or very expensive second hand. People want to use extra features available on a flashcart, such as cheat codes, but still want to play the game on the original hardware. They want to have multiple games with them. Less of an issue for the 3DS, but downloading options were very limited on the DS.

So with something like that do you basically plug it into a PC with a microsd card reader and load it with pseudo-ROM versions of games made for the DS, presumably acquired in a  kinda way

Nah you just load a microSD card with Linux distributions, put it into the top of that thing, and put it into your DS.

You can entirely trade pokemon off an emulated save... locally, if you have a compatible flash cart and a copy of a real game that's the same generation.

I believe that the original idea of Xenosaga was that it was a prequel to Xenogears and basically explained where all the space tech & the Zohar in Xenogears came from. Xenoblade has very similar themes to the other games (with a Zohar cameo). Xenoblade Chronicles X is very, very similar to Xenosaga in design and plot. But none of them are directly related to Xenogears/saga

Saga is totally a numbers filed off prequel to Gears, the story is just changed enough that Square wouldn't sue them, but it lines up conspicuously well with the previous episodes laid out in Xenogears Perfect Works (Xenogears itself ends with the final title card declaring that it was episode five of six). Blade isn't really related other than referentially

A few weeks ago someone mentioned buying an N3DS XL battery on Amazon. Is there a particular seller that's trusted? There seems to be only one listed as "new" right now in the Marketplace sellers and Nintendo doesn't seem to be planning a restock for the official store.

OhFunny posted:What's the best Fire Emblem game to try if they only one I've played is The Shining Stones back on the GBA? If you like making them date then I guess Awakenings, though I really disliked that game since I found the actual gameplay very poor. Maybe the remake Echoes? I imagine it has less dating stuff actually.

On the 3DS, awakening or echoes definitely. You can look up the details on those and see which one strikes your fancy more. If you have a switch though, Three Houses is coming out Friday.

Help Im Alive posted:Fates is way better than Awakening Not really. Birthright has a bland story but Conquest and Revelation are straight up tire fires. Like there are entire scenes in Conquest and Revelation that don't even feel like they went through a basic editing pass for coherency. Also mechanically they have a lot of flaws just in a different way than Awakening does. Fates has way too many fiddly bits between skill buff/debuffs, weapon buff/debuffs, stave buff/debuffs and everything to do with Hidden Weapons. It makes playing them a slog and a half, especially since so many late game maps devolve into spamming Ninjas at you. I had way more fun with Awakening overall.

Commander Keene posted:Fire Emblem Warriors To be fair, I found it used for 12 euro and ALMOST picked it up even if I have no need for it (already own Hyrule Warriors on my 3DS), and there's only 1 character in the game I genuinely like, Lyn. If you're a particularly big fan of the content present is it necessarily a worthwhile game?

No just play hyrule warriors instead, that's a much better fanservice game if you already have, well play more of it

Echoes turned into such a slog by the mid game that I had to put it down. I don't know how the other games fare, but I remember killing like 22 units on a single map due to a hard to reach summoner, and then a map or two later there was another summoner across a poison swamp. There was such blatant disrespect for my time that I dropped it after 20 some odd hours and read a plot summary.

Echoes is uniquely bad about those specific things because its a remake of a 30 year old game that faithfully reproduced most mechanics and maps. Unsurprisingly, they improved a lot in terms of map/encounter design in subsequent entries. Also if you stopped on the first poison swamp you missed like 5 more maps. And possibly the worst of the desert.
