io_burn posted:In discussions about video games I've learned to just assume everyone is so broke they're practically homeless. We could be talking a difference of close to six months of panhandling or allowance payments before being able to afford the difference between a new and old 3DS XL. I could afford the New 3DS, I just don't really care about the features. I don't plan on buying Xenoblade since I own the Wii version and haven't gotten around to beating it. I have doubts about Nintendo actually taking advantage of the improved hardware (see DSi shovelware), and while the nubstick would be useful for Monster Hunter, that's not really my series. So while the price difference is small, I personally don't have a reason to spend the extra money. Now I probably would have pulled the trigger if I could have gotten the Majora's Mask bundle. I love that purple finish.

So game talk, I'm playing SMTIV, and I am aweful at it, I guess. I need to find Navarre and the hooded figures along the way are destroying me. I seem to do alright in the battle, and then they just lance crit my party dead in a turn. What am I supposed to be doing to counter that?

Don't think I can recommend any 3ds games that haven't already been mentioned. Pokemon X/Y/ORAS, 3D Land, Bravely Default, SMTIV, Etrian Odyssey games, Link Between Worlds, Animal Crossing, Professor Layton games. Kid Icarus Uprising was fun, but the controlling it was awful and made my hands hurt. I've really enjoyed discovering DS games, though. I never had a DS and I've been going through it's games and have found some really good ones. Dragon Quest IV Final Fantasy III (though you should just play Bravely Default instead) Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story Chrono Trigger (never played the original, the port is very good) Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow SMT: Devil Survivor Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky The World Ends with You

SMTIV just starts out really hard because you don't have a party full of demons. They hosed this up. You just have to make it out of that first short dungeon, and you'll be fine. Just make sure you recruit whichever demons you meet until you've got a full party.

irlZaphod posted:Yeah I'd recommend Final Fantasy IV DS over III, and also SMT: Devil Survivor has an enhanced port for 3DS, so there's not much point in playing the original DS one. I did actually play FFIV, but didn't really enjoy it. In my opinion, the frame rate seemed to be really bad. I would recommend III over IV, but since Bravely Default is just a better version of FFIII, pretty much, that's the best choice. Also, I didn't know Overclocked was a port of Devil Survivor, I thought it was like a sequel or something. Wish I had tried harder to find it. The DS version is still really good and if you can't find Overclocked, the original is good.

So I just managed to talk my friend (who has a 3DSXL) out of buying a New, mostly through making him realize he didn't actually have any good reasons to get one now instead of waiting and trying to get one cheaper a bit later. I assume I am now to be shunned by this thread.Jim Silly-Balls posted:
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Nintendo decided to make a sequel to A Link to the Past and ended up making (opinions may vary) the best Zelda game since A LInk to the Past, some would argue even better than ALttP and the best Zelda game ever. But whatever the case, if you like Zelda at all, this is one game you can't miss, especially not if you have fond memories of ALttP. It's pretty much a distilled verion of the Zelda formula, being probably the least linear game in the series since the first Legend of Zelda. Did I mention that the 3D is fantastic? Because the 3D is fantastic. Kid Icarus Uprising 21 years later a new Kid Icarus game was released and it was amazing. A third person action game split into air segments where you shoot enemies and land stages where you run around punching enemies, a complaint people might have about it is the controls, as you move with the circle pad and aim with the stylus. No, having a circle pad pro or New does not let you use dual stick aiming, the right stick does exactly the same thing the left one does. It's for left-handed people. The game came with a stand for the 3DS to rest on while playing, but no idea how available that is anymore. But if you can accept the controls, you can get to experience a fantastic action game with a lot of stuff to do, many weapons to craft, a ton of challenges to clear (same challenge panel system as in Smash Bros - Uprising is also one of Sakurai's brainchildren) and the best dialogue on the 3DS. The conversations between Pit, Palutena and various other good and bad guys are unforgettable. Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call If you like rhythm games, you might have played the Ouendan games and Elite Beat Agents for the DS. While there's no Ouendan 3D, there's this. And it has enough content to keep you occupied forever. Over 200 songs on the cart itself to start with, and another 80+ to be had through DLC (as of February 2015, and they keep releasing more). Three types of stages that while all are played through tapping or holding or swiping on the touchscreen (doesn't matter where) at the correct time still actually makes it feel like slightly different kind of gameplay. Cute chibi FF characters to level up and assign skills and kill monsters and get loot. A Quest mode exists, but if you don't want to bother with the RPG elements, you can mostly ignore that completely and just play songs.

Kewpuh posted:i guess the sdxc card i bought is just hosed because i've been trying to redownload all my games for a couple days now and the eshop keeps making GBS threads out error codes at me once i hit like 16gb on the sd card. trying one final hurrah with the full (overwrite) option with sdformatter and i guess if that doesnt work then yay Where'd you buy the card from? A 64+ GB card acting up after 16 GB makes me think "counterfeit". EDIT: One of these days I'm going to remember to check the current page indicator before replying to a post in this thread.

Toss that off the list and add Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift instead.

It's been a while since I played through the intro dungeon of SMT4 but the general idea behind that game is abuse enemy weaknesses as much as possible. You get extra turns for hitting enemies with their weakness with a chance of that character getting a huge temporary hit/evasion/damage buff. The best strategy I've found is to strike first and make sure your enemies never live to see their first turn.

when i did the original transfer from old 3ds to this one, 5 or 6 of the games transferred over but the file size read 0 on them and they were greyed out. so either the card was hosed from the get-go or my 3ds is jacked up but i would doubt that

If anyone is still looking, I urge you to check Toys R Us. After looking at the websites for GameStop, Target, Walmart, and Best Buy, I discovered that there isn't a New 3DS XL within 45 minutes of me in any color. I had given up hope but then discovered that the closest Toys R Us had the black one listed in stock. For a moment I thought that I wasted $200 upgrading from my XL but watching those Pikmin carry my data over during the system transfer made me realize this was the correct choice. I just have no clue what to do with my old XL. Selling it will probably be aggravating because it is missing some paint in one corner due to a drop. GameStop will give me $65 if I keep my charger, which is basically two games. EDIT: Ciaphas posted:After playing MH4U for most of a day now I am really sad that I can't find a new 3dsxl anywhere in town, I need that camera control like yesterday Did you check TRU? I just had some excellent luck there when everywhere else was sold out.
