I really want to play Radiant Historia but am I the only person that doesn't want to play an entire RPG on the 3DS anymore? I got absolutely ruined by Switch.

Same, I'm ready to move on from the 3DS. Put everything on the Switch. I'm waiting for the next direct to see if I'm keeping or selling my 3DS.

even the "travel through time to fix poo poo" comparison is really misdirecting. what you actually do is, a bad thing happens, and you travel like five minutes in the past to do something slightly differently. there is absolutely no major time travel.
I think it was a bit more complex than that, there were a fair number of nodes that required going around to do lots of weird/random poo poo either way earlier or in the other timeline, and sometimes it continuously cascaded into new stuff. It was never complicated but as a way to progress the story it was at least somewhat novel.

You're not wrong but I believe the intended point was that you're always travelling within a fairly narrow band of time instead of like between prehistoric dinosaur times and post apocalyptic future

yeah it's this, you travel through time but it's never across eras or dimensions. it's more like changing one thing you did since the beginning of the game, like--i don't think this actually happens in the game, but as an example--someone would've betrayed you but you got a memento of his dead wife shortly before he stabs you in the back, and you go back and give it to him a couple weeks earlier, which changes his mind and he decides not to betray you

Yeah, you're travelling within a few months across two separate timelines that diverged right after the beginning of the game. And you use things you learn/find in one to get past roadblocks in the other mostly.

it's because RH gets compared to chrono trigger. using the steins;gate example, you wouldn't say "stein's gate is like chrono trigger!" because they both have time travel

Snack World was on a NA Direct last year (don't think it was shown on the same EU one though). Yokai Watch 3 is probably a gimme since 1 and all versions of 2 made it over also.

Thanks about Snack World.

I figured YW3 was not a gimme since it was so late in the 3DS's life, YW1&2 didn't sell too hot in the US, and translating tons of Yokai and text might be a lot of work. I did a bit of searching and couldn't find a good source mentioning it would be localized, but I'd love to be shown how bad my search was.

Do you have a link to confirmation that these are going to be released in NA/PAL?

Both games were announced for international release years ago, and L5 teased YW3 news with their New Year's card/message so I presume it's still happening... maybe L5's putting it out themselves?

I kinda doubt Snack World will happen, at least not with all the NFC bullshit - it didn't do hot in Japan and retailers took a huge bath on the Yokai Watch toys.

It's still a game about time travel and a JRPG.

Of course, that can backfire... some men like their bitches crazy.
My faulty 3ds I mentioned previously seems to be doing ok now. I cleaned the (already clean looking) battery terminals and now it seems to function perfectly?

I'm only really just getting into using my 3ds alot, mostly because I got homebrew sorted and this is the first handheld I've had that can play old genisis/mega drive games without wierd screen scaling issues.

I haven't even touched moon ultra, even though I preordered it. I doubt I'll ever pack my 3ds away. Heck I still regularly use my dsi xl.

I’m only keeping it for New Leaf and to get through my backlog. Hopefully I could get through everything before the price of my N3DSXL tanks.

Is Soul Hackers still worth playing? I'm feeling kinda itchy for an SMT game but I remember some people complaining about it a little? If the problems are just from it being old as poo poo they probably won't bother me that much.

I'm doing this and it's really good so far! It's weird because it seems simultaneously easier and more fiddly than other SMT games I've played. I wasn't psyched about the magnetite mechanic but it seems like I'm earning a ton just by wandering around a little in dungeons. Unless it turns out to be really restrictive later it kind of makes me wonder why it exists as a mechanic at all.

They should really make another SMT game that embraces the cyberpunk roots of the series.

I think magnetite might have been more of a vestigial thing from the older SMT games at that point.

Was magnetite the thing that let you move? I was alright with Soul Hackers until I realized I had a limited amount of steps. That really killed it for me since most of the dungeons we're easy to get lost in.

FruitPunchSamurai
Oct 20, 2010

Yeah you can lose magnetite by walking around. If you don't keep all your demons out all the time, it won't go down that fast. Battles also give a pretty steady supply of it.
