8-bit Miniboss posted:It's overall fine. It's just a few people that wear glasses that seem to hit snags though I wear glasses myself it seems to work fine for me. Maybe it's a prescription thing. Talking out my rear end here, but maybe thick rims are enough to throw off the tracking by creating a second object for it to track. On the face-tracking note, I wonder if it's possible for games to make use of it. It'd be neat to have it actually rotate the image properly instead of merely re-angle it.

Transistor Rhythm posted:I'm really impressed with MM3D. It feels contemporary - funny that it comes out a week after "Life is Strange," which is a great game but which is largely built on mechanics that MM3D pioneered ~15 years before. I never played the original and was concerned that - like "the Ocarina of time" - it wouldn't remotely hold up to fans' memories. I do think that the Ocarina of Time is a legitimately Not Great, bordering on Bad game that nostalgia completely blinds people to. I've bought it three times (Gamecube bonus disc with Wind Waker, Wii VC, and then 3D remake) because I wanted to believe that it was as good as people say it is. On the other hand, MM3d is actually probably the best Zelda game I've played to date, just a brilliantly designed thing. [Full disclosure - I started with the original LOZ in '86 or whenever]. Majora's Mask 3D also improves on the original quite a bit with lots of little changes that are mostly for the better. A lot more info is tracked in the Notebook (which it frankly needed), and Tatl's a little more helpful with reminders that might get forgotten without being obtuse about them to the extent of N64 Navi (for example, a one-off reminder to go revive the Great Fairy in Clock Town a second time once you get the curse broken, because she promised a second reward). Tatl can get a little annoying during the first cycle with reminders on where to go next, but I can kinda understand why it's there to help new players get through it, and it stops once you're in the game proper.

RadicalR posted:It's certainly dark. It can take a lot of trial and error to figure out what to do next, especially since you only have a limited amount of time (which you can reset, but it also resets all of your progress with certain exceptions.) Here's how it works to be clear; The game's set over a three-day cycle, and when you reset it by playing the Song of Time you keep most of your items. All you lose are bottle contents, arrows, bombs, and your cash (there's a bank you can stash your rupees in that'll last between cycles). All four temples also have a teleporter right in the entrance that will take you straight to the boss if you've cleared it once, just so you can knock them over again to do the post-temple sidequests for that region (clearing the temple generally does something like ending a heavy winter in the mountains, or cleaning the swamp of poisonous water).

Zombies' Downfall posted:It seems like the games which preserve/gain value these days are only poo poo that you can't easily get a digital copy of in the first place. gently caress Xenoblade, Give it about six months to a year and it'll pop up on the WiiU's Wii VC list. The only reason it hasn't now is so it isn't competing with the n3DS version and, to be fair, it's a perfectly good choice to go "look what we can do with better hardware" in the same vein as Ocarina of TIme was for the original 3DS.

elf help book posted:It depends on the game, the 3D can make some games that may have bland graphics look much better and more interesting. Hell, I own Xenoblade Chronicles already and I'm a little tempted to get the n3DS version just to run around looking at it all in 3D. Turtlicious posted:So things don't look weird and flat / look a lot better with the 3D on? Go take a look at a demo console if you haven't already. I'd have thought they'd be in just about every store in the US by now, considering every major EB Games and the like usually has one in Australia. Though my local Targets have 2DS's as their demo consoles for some weird reason. I guess it's so they can push them on small children like they're designed for.

Argue posted:I bought a larger microSD card and I'm hoping to nab a New 3DS tonight. Is this going to work: Nope, you're doing it wrong. Do the system transfer as it tells you to with the Old SD in the Old3DS. When it gets to the point of asking you to transfer the SD card, remove it from the Old3DS and insert it into your PC. Copy the entire contents to a folder somewhere. Transfer those files onto the new microSD. Insert that micro-SD into the new3DS and continue system transfer.

Also, the N3DS nub should work as a second stick since Snake Eater was one of the few games that supported the Yes, it'll work. Anything compatible will see the n3DS's extra buttons and C-stick nub as a CPP.

Yeah, there's a big difference between "it works okay for some games" and "working properly" Also I'd like to thank whoever donated to the TG Sanity fund. Looper posted:This topic's come up a lot (along with sister topic GBA VC) and I don't think anyone's ever answered with one hundred percent certainty The simple truth with software emulating is it needs to emulate half the hardware as well, which eats a lot of extra processing power. It's not just Button A = Button 1, but going through and accounting for the little tricks abused in the hardware like "waiting for chip 1 to complete it's memory stack before running code C" that simply isn't going to work on another console natively. edit: VVV Yeah, pretty much that exactly.

I could've sworn they actually made a statement that they couldn't bring them up to snuff on the 3DS at some point. What remains to be seen is how much of a game-changer the n3DS specs are for further VC games.

GENDERWEIRD GREEDO posted:I know I've seen a lot of people confidently saying "this is what Nintendo thinks" but I just can't recall any statements out of them. That's right, but the Wii at least natively had a Home menu. The GBA hardware in the original DS was designed to just run the cartridge from a slot, and then turn off when done so there's at least some work to be done to make it able to call out to the operating system properly.

Volcott posted:I was out of country on launch day so I've been waiting for my local Gamestop to get more N3DSes in. What do I need to bring to the store in order to do a system transfer? Does the system transfer include saved games? Should I just buy an N3DS from Wal-Mart, do all the transfer stuff at home, and sell my Link Between Worlds XL on Craigslist? The System Transfer is everything on the console itself, not the SD card. You'll get a prompt to make that switch during the process. If you haven't done so already, replace the SD card in your current 3DS with a micro-SD card. Most come with an adapter for full-size SD slots, and you can just copy/paste the SD card contents onto your PC and then onto the new micro-SD card before slotting it back into your console.

Enallyniv posted:Any recommendations for a Pokémon game? I just bought my first 3DS (nuXL) yesterday and I'm not sure if I should err towards the X/Y or OR/AS. There's not much nostalgia value in the Gen 3 remakes as I skipped that gen so the playing field is a little more leveled. X/Y's probably the better one to start with if you'd like to ride some nostalgia. You get given your choice of Gen-1 starter a little ways into the game, along with a pretty good spread of previous-gen pokemon mixed in with the new ones.

Cless Alvein posted:Being serious both the Vita and 3DS are great systems. Although, this comes with the caveat that you enjoy all the niche weeaboo games that come out on Vita. I personally like and enjoy stupid poo poo like Neptunia, Conception 2, and Akiba's Trip. I'm actually bummed because my Hyperdevotion Noire LE was supposed to show up today and it didn't. I'm assuming it'll be here Monday with my htoL#NiQ LE. So ymmv on how useful or fun the vita is for you. I agree the Vita's a really nice piece of hardware, it just doesn't have the push for good software that it needs to stay afloat in the mainstream market. BisterdDave posted:I really think they hosed up the N3DS by moving the cartridge slot, power button, and stylus all to the bottom of the console. The placement of everything on the 3DS XL is perfect in my opinion and shouldn't have been messed with. I've just put it down to them shuffling everything about to get the most out of increased specs, including the switch to micro-SD cards. It's a jumble puzzle of "how can we make everything fit in the same frame?"
