loudog999 posted:I've been hoarding all of my 3ds games waiting until the new one came out. Now that it has I have way too many games and no ideas where to start. I'm looking at either link between worlds, fantasy life, mh4u, or Majora's mask. It's a good problem to have. Link Between Worlds is the best Zelda game since LTTP. Soooooo. e: I'm playing MM using the zeldadungeon.net walkthrough and am having fun when I never even got to the first temple on the N64. I think I'll end up liking this more than OOT (which I've never finished, though a 3DS copy is in the mail).

noirstronaut posted:I have this theory that OoT is simply not a good game and is only so well-liked across boards because it's the first 3D Zelda. Majora's Mask is emo as hell and trippy and weird, so even if the gameplay was bad, people would say the tone carries it. OOT did for 3rd person action games what Mario 64 did for 3rd person platformers, but LTTP is just better in every way, and it holds up better in retrospect since it isn't a blurry N64 game. Also OOT felt like a retread with the 3 dungeon, Master Sword, dark world routine. I still remember being let down at just how empty OOT felt compared to a screenshot of a sprawling city pre-release. Just wasn't what I was hoping it'd be. Doesn't help that LTTP is probably in my top 5 of ever,  . That game owns.

greatn posted:Why the gently caress is Ocarina of Time 3DS $50 used (45 if you're a pro member!) at GameStop? That's still way cheaper than what you could get them for on Amazon when I last looked. OOT's not the easiest game to find these days. I think it may have only gotten the one print run, and there's a lot more 3DSes now than when it was released. edit: Amazon: $80 new, from $67.90 used.

SatansBestBuddy posted:What the gently caress kind of mail service would leave an obviously heavy and expensive package on somebody's porch when they're not home to sign for it?!?! That sounds like an excellent way for it to get stolen. This is how 95% of residential UPS and FedEx deliveries happen. The value of the item isn't written on the box, so the courier has no idea. But mainly that courier has too much to deliver, and if he waited around to get signatures at every stop, he wouldn't have a job very long. If you want a package to get signed for, you as the customer should set that up, because a courier is only concerned with getting every package off his truck before the committment times. I may have worked for a shipping company

Tormented posted:I just bought the new 3ds. This is my first portable system since my PSP days. I'm debating that I should have gotten a Vita instead but I think I know all of one person with it. Anything I should know and what games are good to grab for someone looking for a deep gaming experience? Fire Emblem: Awakening, SMT4, the Monster Hunter games. The Pokemon games get deep if you're crazy about EV poo poo. Also there's other RPGs I haven't played like a couple Etrian Odyssey games, Persona Q, etc. Don't sleep on poo poo like Mario 3D Land. Not the deepest gaming experience or whatever, but it's the best 3D Mario game, sooooo.

As silly as "MARIO SHOULD BE ON iOS" is, it really is kinda weird that Nintendo hasn't tried to get in on the F2P train considering that's how an awful lot of their target audience plays games these days.

Just a heads up, today I was at Gamestop (they had a copy of MH4U), and the guy said that Xenoblade Chronicles was going to be preorder only, so if you're even on the fence about getting it, you might wanna throw $5 on a preorder now. Yayyyy more Nintendo scarcity

BisterdDave posted:Wait, what? That can't be true. Why the hell would they limit the Nu3DS's first true launch title? Because they're probably afraid of over-saturating for a small segment of their portable market, I guess. Or maybe Gamestop's the one only doing preorders. But if GS's only doing preorders, it's probably gonna be hard to find.

Haruharuharuko posted:I got KI:U from the club nintendo coin deal and the game is an amazing fun great looking game that has without a doubt the worst controls I've ever had the misfortune of playing and it bums me the gently caress out because it looks great. Yeah, that game has garbage controls that actively cause discomfort and pain for a lot of people. I'd take a Kid Icarus game that played that way on the Wii U with Wii Remote or dual stick controls, cause then it'S Sin and Punishment, but it's basically unplayable on a 3DS, IMO. Lofty132 posted:I bought MM physical and feel I should avoid buying any 3DS game digital due to the Ocarina situation. Is that sensible or should I just get over it? Eh, worry about playing games you buy instead of reselling them, cause there's no telling which games are gonna be rare, and you won't become rich selling a 3DS game $20 above MSRP anyway. If anything I stay away from digital Nintendo releases just because they still handle the technical side of them terribly. But it's nice that they're there in case I have to play an old rare game that I can't find. Soul Glo fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Mar 1, 2015 |

SOTN's not on any Nintendo platform. At least a couple of the GBA ones are on the Wii U eShop, but nothing on 3DS IIRC. e: Amazon's got the DS ones for about $20-25 new, btw.

The next Nintendo platform will unify the handheld and home consoles into one thing, like a mix between a Wii U/3DS/Vita. You'll be able to play all games at home on a television or on the controller's 720p screen. The internet capabilities will still be lacking, and there will be no voice chat. It will launch with Mario Kart 9, Pokemon Black The Third and a $5 port of the original Super Mario Bros. on the new It will be called the Wii 3, for some reason. e: No 3D.

Kevin Bacon posted:Is it worth picking up a N3DS just for the games available on the system? I don't have any long commutes and I don't travel a lot, so the fact that it's portable isn't really a selling-point to me. Probably seems ridiculous (or maybe not? I've always had the impression that people get a 3DS because they need something on the go, and the alternative is... well... the Vita), but I've always kind of wanted one, and with the recent release of Monster Hunter 4 it seems a lot more attractive. I play my 3DS and Vita exclusively at home since I live in a place where you have to drive everywhere you go. 3DS is great because it has a lot of games you cannot play anywhere else, not because it goes wherever you go, though that is a plus.
