I'm not going to wreck my 3DS battery constantly leaving it on sleep days on end? Rebuilding Norende, the village, is very thrilling and I'm probably rushing it but it's so nice to come back hours later and see that number go up. It's very much a addictive adaptation from phone games.

Also unlike most poo poo in that vein, the 3DS is built for trivial battery replacement, you can still get SP and DS batteries very easily even today

Is there a good site to track e-shop sales for 3ds games? I have a few games I'd like to get but I really want to get them on sale as the cart prices are pretty high right now.

irlZaphod posted:psprices.com PlayStation prices?! Ok thanks I’ll check it out. I just need something that will send me a drat email when it goes on sale. The switch wishlist is spotty at best. Edit: it doesn’t look like it does 3DS games? I searched for a few and they didn’t come up.  Edit 2 : ok it does but it only showed switch games at first. This looks like it should work thanks!

There's a 3DS link at the very top. You might need to pick your region carefully, I chose Ireland and it wouldn't show me anything for 3DS. I had to pick UK or another EU country. irlZaphod fucked around with this message at 11:56 on Jan 30, 2020 |

I don't remember if Bravely Default did this but I greatly appreciate that Bravely Second eventually realizes that you have no friends and gives you an imaginary one so you can still complete the message board quests.

Yes. You will run into its strangely outdated map designs that they didn't update, but everything else is good enough to carry the game.

Its fine for what it is, but you can tell its a remake of an ancient game with limited design updates Also the postgame is absolute garbage designed to try to force you to buy the DLC. And the DLC is insulting (buy a third tier for every class!!)

I need a new platformer to pass the time with. I'm between DKC Returns, Kirby's Epic Yarn, and Yoshi's Wooly World. Wario land on the virtual console could work too as I've never played it. I'll take other recommendations as well, though I already have the other Kirby games and Super Mario Land 3D along with a lot of virtual console games.

All three of those are good in their own way although the DKC Returns 3DS port is the only one of those i can specifically vouch for - I played the others on their original systems. If you're looking for challenge, Donkey Kong is the way to go for sure. Epic Yarn is incredibly easy, even for a kirby game, though it can still be fun to try to collect everything. Woolly World is somewhere in between.

Easy sounds good. I need a chill platformer between bouts of increasingly tougher bosses in BD.

Regy Rusty posted:It literally does not get chiller than Kirby Epic Yarn I tried DKC Returns years ago and I got to the third or fourth world without being able to break out of the SNES physics muscle memory. I can tell it's a good game but I'm not fond of the controls yet. Looks like it's going to be Kirby which is fine. I love Kirby games. I really need to get Star allies, but it never dips in price.

I don't think you can go wrong with any of those, but I'll put in a vote for my beloved Yoshi's Wooly World. It's incredibly charming and fun, if you're looking for a chill platformer it's excellent (and it's a better game than the more expensive Switch sequel, to boot). There's some challenge in later stages but there's tons of affordances to make it as easy as you like. DKCR is fantastic too but much more of a challenge. (I have not played the Kirby so I can't speak to that one.)

The 3DS version is very good so that's a fine way to play it if you care about portability, but the game's visual style looks great in HD. This will never happen, but I wish it'd get a Switch port just so I could play through it again in HD.

My problem with Yoshi is just how much I freaking adore the original game which I can enjoy now on my switch (though it travel with my 3DS only if it wasn't clear). So that clouds my judgement for sure.

Wooly World was the first Yoshi game since Island to actually try it's hand at being good. I don't think it's as good but I also think Yoshi's Island is one of the best platformers ever made and Wooly World is merely great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY3HXJzBZ8c

Crafted World is good but it goes more in the direction of full on collectathon than platforming. There are waaaaaaay too many scavenger hunts and the "replay the level backwards" gimmick means you have to play at least twice before you even get to that point. Also for some reason they thought it would be a good idea and skimp on the music, since pretty much all of the game's ~20 songs are leitmotifs on the boring theme. But on the other hand, there's a level that's theme is just "you're in a slasher flick" which is infinitely better than just, you know, ice world or whatever.

DS was one of the most disappointing games ever for me. I was so excited when it was announced and saw how gorgeous the sprite work was but then that level design with that music.

Right? I don't know how they keep messing up the music. The SNES game didn't even have a lot of tracks, they're all perfect though. How all subsequent games just mess that up is baffling.

There are waaaaaaay too many scavenger hunts and the "replay the level backwards" gimmick means you have to play at least twice before you even get to that point. The bad collectathon aspect of Crafted World was one of its two fatal flaws, imo. Wooly World (and the original Yoshi's Island, I suppose) have the right idea that you can theoretically get every collectible in one run through the level, even if you never manage it. The other fatal flaw was changing to a pseudo-3D aiming method where you shoot at the foreground and background, instead of keeping it on a flat 2D plane. It seems interesting on paper but I think it's overly fiddly and screws with the flow of the levels too much. The music's a bummer too. Game's not terrible, just nowhere near as good as Wooly. It did have some neat level themes though, that slasher flick one was a standout.

My issue with the collectathon is that there are items that you just do not see unless you poke your head into empty space and then something appears. Also, the red coins having no tracker for the order in which they are collected makes trying to find them on second play through obnoxious. I'll get around to beating it at some point, but there is no chance that I 100% it because I would have to just follow a guide exactly.

So that's Crafted World. Wooly World is more intuitive with its collecting?
