Nice work! But didn't Nintendo say that Xenoblade Chronicles will only work on the New 3DS? Your OP implies that it will work on the normal 3DS, just with enhanced features for the New, which I thought was not the case.

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. As mentioned, the DS Final Fantasy III is pretty garbage. Toss that off the list and add Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift instead.

That's a really cool faceplate, and I love me some Xenoblade, but in all honesty... I couldn't go back to a smaller 3DS after using an XL for so long. I just couldn't. The XL is just so drat nice... Here's hoping they make a Xenoblade special edition XL!

Cat Machine posted:Most of the hate for Bravely Default (justifiably) comes from the time loop gimmick the game drops on you around 2/3 into the game. I loved it right up till then. That part isn't even that bad, because you can just turn off the random encounters and do as much, or as few, of the sidequests as you want. Once you get to that point, you can finish the game in an hour or two with the encounters turned off. It is really not as bad as people keep harping about around here. Makes me think they didn't turn off the random encounters! Speaking of that, Atlas Hugged posted:The real issue with Bravely Default is that if you don't love the battle system, and I mean really love it, there is nothing else in the game to do. There are no towns to explore. There is all of like one secret to unlock. Areas are reused again and again. As you revisit these place, the only thing that changes is dialog, and I still argue that the dialog is largely bad, frequently creepy, and the story isn't worth reading anyway. What are you on about? You can totally turn the random encounters off at any point and keep them off forever! The only time you have to fight random encounters is if you want to. Once you find the really good grinding spot, you can max out your jobs in a couple hours while you watch a movie or something. Now, granted I maxed out all the jobs on everyone because I really liked the battle system, but you don't even have to go that far. Just get the skills you want each character to use, and done. Then you can get to the real fun stuff, which is completely destroying bosses before they can even move.

Dave Angel posted:All Phoenix Wright games, if you haven't already played them in some subsequent release form. I must second this suggestion! I got the Trilogy on the eShop and I am loving it! Even though I just started the third game... and it makes my brain hurt, so I can't play it for very long at a time. Still, so good! Is it hard to track down the rest of them? I haven't even looked at prices or anything.

SatansBestBuddy posted:Pretty much this. There's a lot of little things that make JFA just a little bit not as good as the other games, the third case being a stinker being the biggest one, though I felt the tutorial was really bad too and started the game off on the wrong foot, but it's still a really good game. Just don't bother playing the third case and have a walkthrough do all the work for you. The eShop trilogy is the only way I've ever played Phoenix Wright, but everything seems fine to me! Music is good, sprites look good, touchscreen controls are responsive. You can even yell "Objection!" into the mic if you want. Also, I was warned ahead of time about That Case in game 2, and it was not nearly as bad as everyone kept making it out to be.

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. Sure it is! There's plenty of fully-fledged games on the thing that will make you forget you're playing a handheld. It's not like the Gameboy days, where all the games were automatically a lot shorter to "fit" them on the handheld. The 3DS doesn't need to "fit" anything. It just has great games! Plus, it's super comfortable to play it while lounging on the couch, or reclining in bed, or wherever! You don't have to only play it when you're out of the house, though it's great for that too. I play it on the bus, for example.

Policenaut posted:Bravely Default is a third of a good game stretched over the remaining two-thirds. You have it backwards. It's two-thirds of a good game repeated over the remaining third. And thankfully the game lets you turn off random encounters, which saves a ton of time on that last third.

I freaked out cause after I adjusted my 3DS clock for daylight savings I remembered Joan telling me any funny business with the clocks would spoil my turnips. Luckily, nothing happened. It's setting the clock backwards that fucks up turnips. If you're still playing when DST ends, I'd recommend resetting your clock before buying them. Also why... would it be frowned up on check guides? Animal Crossing ain't no Dark Souls, son. If you want some guides, mosey on over to ye olde Animal Crossing thread.

Junkie Disease posted:How is Majoras Mask vs say the original. The visual upgrade on starfox 3ds has me a wonderin. Visually it looks pretty fantastic. Comparable to OoT 3D, if you played that. There are some relatively minor mechanical changes that I've been fine with so far but have turned some people off. Also the bosses have all been re-tweaked. Mostly for the better in my experience thus far. (Haven't fought the fourth boss yet.) Fuzz posted:Is the StarFox 64 upgrade any good? Looks a lot better than N64 graphics at a glance, at least. It's good, in that it's Starfox 64 on a handheld with a couple new game modes for medal-collecting goodness. It looks a bit better, graphically, and the voice acting got re-jiggered. I wouldn't be able to tell the difference if the voice clips weren't burned permanently into my brain from my childhood. Anyway, if you liked Starfox 64, you'll like the remake.

It's me. I'm a weirdo who doesn't like drawing maps. In fact, I hate drawing maps. I tired the Etrian Odyessy demo (briefly) some time ago, unaware that I would be expected to draw my own map. As soon as I realized that's what I'd have to do, I shut the demo off and I haven't picked it back up since. I hate maps. Perhaps it's because I get lost so easily? I want to have my map there for me, so I won't get lost. My spatial perception or whatever it is that let's you form mental maps is completely hosed, so drawing maps of any kind is just a chore. I've tried it; the results have not been pretty.

Man I'm so pumped right now. I just finished the eShop Phoenix Wright Trilogy a couple days ago. (No, I had never played them before; yes I feel like an idiot now.) I had ordered the next two games in the series (Apollo Justice and Investigations) from Amazon on Sunday. Came home this afternoon to find my Amazon box waiting for me!

My Monado decal from Decalgirl just arrived a little bit ago! Specifically, this one, which was posted in this thread awhile back. The screen protector got in a couple days ago and I picked up a red system just yesterday. And just now, I finished transforming it into Something Awesome. Shot with the box, just because. Top Bottom Back (Any blurriness is due to my lovely camera skills, not the skin) Inside. I may have to change my theme now. I was using the Animal Crossing XL (aka the Poptart). EDIT: Forgot to include one with my friend! I think you know how he feels about it. All in all, the skin looks gorgeous! It's so shiny and crisp. And it wasn't that much of a pain in the rear end to put on. Absolutely flawless. Decalgirl: it does what Nintendon't. I was already using a MicroSD card, so System Transfer was totally painless. And I didn't even have to practice screwing! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have Ace Attorney games to continue binging on. Silver Falcon fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Mar 14, 2015 |

nuru posted:The problem with Ace attorney is that you have to understand Ace Attorney logic to get anywhere sometimes. You may know the murderer's finger is inside the vase in evidence, but you need to figure out which inconsequential question/press combo will lead the judge to talk about how in his day they wore onions on their belts so that Edgeworth bumps into the vase and shatters it. This is true. The games have their own sense of twisted logic. It's weird for me. Sometimes I get in this Zen state where I can figure everything out in an instant and I can see the crazy twist coming from a mile away. On the other hand, often the game will just blindside me out of left field and leave me thinking "Wait, WHAT?!" I love those moments. I find that I can't play them for very long at a time, though. Eventually, it stops making sense, and I get stuck. When this happens, I don't look up an FAQ. I put the game down for awhile and come back to it later. Then the thing I was stuck on is the most obvious loving thing. I don't know why this happens. To those having trouble with the Ace Attorney games and feeling like you have to be glued to an FAQ: don't. Worse comes to worse, you can just save and brute force it.

This even extends to Edgeworth being awesome until he's the main character and then he becomes The Boring One. Apollo's sidekick is Trucy, right? Please tell me there's no creepy stuff with her in the Apollo game I've been playing Apollo justice and I like it so far. Apollo is a doof, but Trucy is adorable. There's been no creepy stuff between them so far... weird panty obsession in case 2 aside. They act more like brother and sister.

Himuro posted:it seems my only options are: Hey, I have freakishly tiny hands and I've never had any problem with the XL. Are you sure you're holding it right? I mean... there's a lot of different ways you could hold it to find something that works for you. Also, I have a third solution for you: get a New 3DS XL and spruce it up with a cute decal. Then you get something that actually adheres to your system and not a cheap piece of plastic. Lastly, I know you were asking rhetorically, but there are a lot of reasons people get 3DS games digitally. If I know it's a game I'll be coming back to over and over in the long term (like, say, Animal Crossing, which is a game yo play for a half an hour every day and then done), it's a lot more convenient to have it digital rather than switch out the cartridge every time I want to play. Or, say you're the kind of person who just likes to bounce around between different games, and won't play only one game for months at a time. It's a lot better to have those games digitally so you can swap between them at will. Or, let's just say you just loving hate switching cartridges? Related to this, you take your 3DS with you when you go out, or on trips, and having games digitally means less poo poo to pack. Having a largely digital library saves me a lot of space in my bag!

Does the DSTwo not work with the New 3DS? I wanted to try the fan translation of Ace Attorney Investigations 2 as god intended, but my N3DS(XL) wouldn't recognize it.

My DSTwo gave me a bit of a scare today. I was messing around with it and the game I was playing froze. I flashed to the Home screen, and my system had stopped recognizing the card. No amount of popping it in and out would make the system recognize it. So, just as a test, I put Majora's Mask 3D in there instead. ... It didn't recognize that either. A quick reboot of the system got it to read Majora's Mask at least, but now I'm afraid to use the DSTwo with it anymore. The thing is less than a month old and I don't want to wreck the cart slot right before Xenoblade Chronicles comes out! Guess I'll stick to using the DSTwo in my old XL.
