I still don't know what good StreetPasses are for aside from the Eon Ticket.

They do neat stuff in some games and it's kinda fun spending 5 minutes on the puzzle swap/streetpass quest stuff at the end of the day (I just unlocked Streetpass Quest 2 by completing the first one twice and had no idea it existed)

Puzzle Swap feels very futile though because in the time it takes me to complete one 40 piece puzzle they've added like 3 more

please help I like all of the weapons in mh4 and can't settle on one

You could focus on one weapon for solo stuff and another for groups, that's what I did in 3U (Switch Axe and Bow which unfortunately also meant having to get two sets of armor)

I was having a bit of trouble getting the camera to work for me in monhan so i dropped out to the CPP calibration screen to check my c-stick was working alright.

While I don't expect it to go in a perfect circle, being a tiny nub thing, I'm just curious if this is similar to most people's experience or if mine is faulty. It works, just not very well atm.

I just tried this and I can move it in a full circle pretty consistently

I dunno though, I've been finding it pretty awkward for camera control too. I like using the L button target cam thing more when I'm fighting

How long is MH4 taking to DL from the eShop for the rest of you? I set it downloading and it's been going for an hour with no sign of stopping... I normally get 2.5 MB/sec off stuff like Steam, wondering how lovely Nintendo's servers are right now... considering it's Nintendo, I'm going to assume really lovely.

I think it took like 15-20 minutes for me, maybe shorter than that even. Are you downloading it in sleep mode? Anytime I've downloaded stuff that way it was super slow

As someone else you liked Sticker Star a lot.

It was fun. It wasn't what people wanted and I understand that but it doesn't mean it isn't a good game.

Yeah people are way too hard on Sticker Star. I was disappointed but after the desert area something really clicked with me and I started enjoying it a lot. I guess maybe you just need to forget about the other Paper Mario games and accept it for what it is (And to be honest I liked it more than the Wii one)

Ahahahaha it turns out that the 17 minutes were to get ONE heart back. Now it's a half hour to get a second heart. That's actually worse than most of the iOS IAP games I've played. Like, twenty minutes will refill five hearts in Card Wars.

I'm gonna try closing the game to see if it'll still recharge when it's closed so I can play some Majora's Mask. Probably won't work, but we'll see.

It recharges when you're not playing, it wouldn't really make sense to force people to keep the game open for hours

It's worth trying the demo for MH4 at least because it's the kind of thing where if it clicks with you then you can easily put like hundreds of hours into it

Well that depends, do you think a find-replace on Switches -> Cows and time block puzzles are fun and clever? Because boy howdy did the Master Quest devs love them some time block puzzles.

In that Majora's Mask Iwata Asks thing a while back, Aonuma said something like he was kind of annoyed when Miyamoto asked him to remix the OoT dungeons because he thought they were already perfect

You can play the song of time backwards and it like doubles or triples the time limit which gives you more than enough time to get things done, so it's not as stressful as you'd think

I got my first streetpass today! I dropped my dad off at the train station and decided to take along my n3DS to see if I could get some people and I got one plus Abe Lincoln as a promotion for Codename: Steam. Did I get Abe because I got the streetpass from someone, was I near a Nintendo Zone, or did everyone get him over wifi?

Also, I'm interested in Shovel Knight. Is it cross-by with Wii U? Are the Wii U and 3DS versions any different? What should I play it on?

Maybe Abe just likes 3DS

If a Layton puzzle is asking you to do math the answer is almost always something else

Help Im Alive
Nov 8, 2009

I guess you just get used to spotting them after a while from how they word the questions or something. I've played all of the Layton games and I usually just think those puzzles are kinda clever

The worst puzzles are the slider ones. Also every once in a while you run into weird kinda obtuse ones like this
