3DS has not officially stopped production, no, and there's plenty of stock everywhere I look. 2DS XLs should be the most plentiful.

It's definitely on its way out, at least. I wouldn't be surprised if there was an official announcement that production was being discontinued within the next 6 months. They're no longer pushing it, I don't believe any retail stores are really carrying significant stock of games and the like anymore, and the last release anyone's going to notice is happening in less than a week. System had a hell of a run given its rough start, though, I think there are legitimately over 200 different Japanese variants of the system when you account for all the colors and how every remotely significant release had a fancy limited edition designed handheld SKU put out as well.

3DS is well and truly out of stock in most of Europe. The New 2DS, not so much.

Any of the SMT or Devil Survivor games worth playing if I liked P5/P4/P3?

Depends on whether the part you like about Persona is the combat or the social link and school stuff. Combat's pretty much the same but SMT games are all about building up teams of demons instead of working with a small party of humans, and they don't have as much stuff going on outside of combat. SMT4/4A are very good and pretty standard SMT games definitely worth checking out. Devil Survivor takes that combat and shoves it into a SRPG, where you're moving parties around a map and when you get into fights you pretty much just play a turn of regular JRPG combat. Also if you like Persona, the Persona Q games are fun fanservice even if they're kinda bad Etrian Odyssey reskins

devil survivor is a lot more closer to persona's tone, in the sense that you have human party members alongside your demons. 2 even has a pseudo social link system

It's maybe worth mentioning I found the Devil Survivor games super difficult (especially 2) but maybe I'm just not that great at SRPGs They're great games though

There were a couple of fights in the first game that were fairly difficult, imo the second was easier. Or maybe I was more cognizant of what the game was expecting of me.

They're all great, the main SMT games (Strange Journey, IV, 4A) are great dungeon crawlers with excellent combat systems. Devil Survivor is also good but it depends on how much you like SRPGs really.

It has the most nothing story out of all of them but the gameplay systems are great. And while the story is a big fat nothing there's a still a lot of funny writing.

I booted up my 3DS to check what I have in Pokemon Bank, and it's not connecting to my home wifi. Tried deleting the connection and redoing it, nada. Is there a way to tell if the network is the problem, or if the 3DS' wifi is borked? If it's borked... Would I even be able to do a System Transfer to a new one? I am hesitant to contact Nintendo about it because the thing has CFW on it.

Turns out we had replaced our router recently and it was running on a band(?) that the 3DS can't connect to. Somehow made another SSID on the router at the ghz that the 3DS can use and it's working now!

If you can get the Radiant Historia remake cheap and aren't far in the original, it's worth picking up. It's not a radical remake. It uses most of the original's assets.

Maybe I should go to the Pokémon thread with this but I've been thinking of picking either Ultra Sun or Moon (I like the legendary in Sun better, but I've always been a Blue/Silver etc guy). I may consider Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu, mainly for nostalgia than anything. Sword/Shield don't look great, and the little I've read about them makes Ultra S&M seem like they are chock full of features. I haven't played since Generation IV, Diamond+Pearl, so I'm not really sure what's new or not. I know you can't catch them all with access to only one game, but is there an easily accessible online trading thing? I don't expect to get legendaries, but it'd be nice to have the main collection gettable. One of the draws for the 3DS games is the fact that there's a post-game. There is a post-game right? What's it like? Is it possible to soft restart with a new team, or do you have to make a new file every time. I'd like to replay areas, I know trainers won't activate anymore or do they now? I really have no idea what the new games are like. I hear they have a lot of tutorials, which is sort of appealing since I've been so out of the loop. I guess any general Q&A would be helpful. If I should go to the Pokémon thread instead let me know. Thanks.

I'd honestly pick up X or Y. The world of Sun & Moon just... doesn't feel half as fun? Sun & Moon has the better 'mons and way more (and better) side content but... that's about it.

Original Sun and Moon have better stories but Ultra have more content/Pokemon/etc. You can't soft restart the game, you would need to make a new file if you wanted to play through the story again. Sun and Moon are definitely some of the best entries in the franchise while most people find X/Y very lacking. If you just want to play through once and have some fun I'd recommend the original Sun or Moon, if you want to maybe do some competitive stuff or get deep into a post-game get Ultra-Sun or Ultra-Moon

ORAS has the most features. X&Y has the best new world to explore. ultra sun and moon have a good setting and poo poo but are a step backwards for ORAS in terms of features and started the trend toward not supporting all the pokemon. if you've followed the series enough to nostalgic than ORAS is the best one to get imo

Let's Go is good, but it's not going to take up that much time and is mostly nostalgia. Sword/Shield is good, but lacking in post game. Ultra Sun/Moon has super easy/good online trading. Let's Go and Sw/Sh extremely bad trading. Ultra Sun/Moon have a pretty extensive post game dealing with, among other things, Team Rocket. Ultra Sun/Moon have only one save file, and it's incredibly guided for a fairly long time so replaying is a major pain. Let's Go and Sw/Sh are much easier to just start playing and you can use different profiles for saves. Usually you can't rematch regular trainers, but gym leaders are common and there are usually ways to fight infinite trainers post game.

The dislike for SW/SH is very overblown and I'd absolutely pick it up over the Let's Go games if you want to play on your Switch.

I agree that the criticisms against Sw/Sh are way overblown, especially if you're still reading pre-release stuff. Sure, the games still have problems, but in the end hey, it turns out they're still really fun games! If you haven't played since Gen 4, odds are you'll still be blown away by how much new stuff there is, even if the games aren't as feature rich as past games. If you want to get the new hotness that everyone is playing, get Sw/Sh. I will fully admit that SwSh is severely lacking in post-game content, so if that's your main draw, then yeah, get one of the older games. ORAS and USUM both have a lot to offer and are solid, good, and fun games.

Thanks all. My goal is to be able to get them all and battle nobodies to greatness when I want and so the post game in Ultra S+M sounds ideal. I could get it on the switch but price is a small factor and the lack of post game really doesn't sound appealing. I like my Ds to have "forever" games.

Even though it's years old now, it still looks and feels like such a modern system. And with stereoscopic 3D a seemingly dying entertainment medium, it's probably the last such device we'll see for a while. Not to mention the library is unparalleled. I have a good twenty 3DS I've yet to touch, and yet another twenty I want to pic up when the price is right.

So I think I'm going to beat DQ VIII but not bother with the post-game dungeons that are bound to be there. I want to trade that in alongside Xenoblade Chronicles to pick up Pokémon Ultra Moon. I'm hoping that trading is still easy enough in it. I'd like to fill out the Pokedex...
