Nintendo 3DS

[Wario Bros.]

Alright, I'll buy Sakura Samurai then.

I can't wait for HarmoKnight too. Other eShop games I'm also waiting for include Shantae (Virtual Console), Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, Jett Rocket II: The Wrath of Taikai, and possibly Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ranger (I need to beat the first game though). My wallet's going to be in trouble and that's only counting the 3DS eShop (there's still some 3DS retail & Wii U games I'm wanting too)

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

I haven't been able to put down Fire Emblem since I got it. Best game on 3DS so far.

 

[ndayday]

It's pretty solid and I've also been playing it a ton, but KIU is still above it imo.

 

[Vinylic.]

Gosh Dangit, I don't even have any cash to spend for those games.

But at least I can kill time playing Rhythm Heaven.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Even though I have the wii version, I am looking forward to the 3DS port of DKCR

I play my 3DS a lot more than my wii or wii u because it's portable. I don't have the time to play much games anymore, and it seems the only time I have is when I'm away from home. So the 3DS is my most used system

 

[RespawningJesus]

I will be excited for Dillion's Rolling Western if they fixed the controls. So uncomfortable. Also, Monster Hunter demo hits Feb. 21st.

Something as simple as using the buttons would be appreciated, especially for stuff like dialogue and menus. I do like Dillon's Rolling Western, but it's a little too touch happy.

SMT IV gets a release date and a special edition 3DS XL.

[Wario Bros.]

Some good news has popped up: Zelda director Eiji Aonuma has announced via Wii U's Miiverse that The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons & The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages are on their way towards the 3DS Virtual Console everywhere (but sometime after Japan though).

 

[Lythium]

Hey, that's pretty cool.

It would be neat if they sold them as a bundle.

 

[ndayday]

I believe they are (in a way).

Notably, and no doubt to coax gamers into buying both, each game will be reduced from the standard 600 Yen to 500 Yen until 20th March, allowing gamers to conveniently buy them with a 1000 Yen eShop card

[Vinylic.]

Well, ain't that neat. Props for Eiji.

Got an XL like a week ago after my Dad won a bunch of money at the Casino. Can't wait for the new MH to come out

Now all I need is a vita...

 

[RespawningJesus]

Vita is not even worth getting. It barely has any support from 3rd party devs. Also, be sure to download the MH demo from the eShop.

 

[ndayday]

Anyone playing that new Etrian Odyssey tomorrow? I'm pretty pumped

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

Oh yeah MH comes out soon. Man I REALLY want a Wii U now.

 

[RespawningJesus]

MH comes out the 19th . . . Sweet, because the week after is spring break for me! Really wish the 3DS version had online, but I guess that is what friends are for right? (Friend has a Wii U, and us getting MH.)

 

[Lythium]

Vita is not even worth getting. It barely has any support from 3rd party devs.

It barely has any support at all, you mean.

Anyone playing that new Etrian Odyssey tomorrow? I'm pretty pumped

I'll definitely be picking it up, but I probably won't start it until I'm finished with Awakening.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Alright popping in here to say some cool 3DS stuff. Don't own that many 3DS games, but me and my girlfriend definitely picked up some gems this week.

The first one we had for a bit but I never played it was FF: Theaterythm (I can't spell and it's not on me so...) Really fun with loads of FF gems and great music, haha.

The second one was Pokemon Rumble Blast, and oddly enough it is mad fun. I usually hate Pokemon games that are not the main line, but my girlfriend has logged like 20 hours into it and never lets me play it ; ;.

The third was FE: Awakening, but I think everyone is playing that...

Anyways the final reason I popped in here; everyone should try the Monster Hunter Ultimate demo. I'm getting it on the Wii-u, but my gf loves the 3DS version, and it does look/plays nice. I really want this game to sell well so maybe Monster Hunter Frontier 2 (Their reboot of their mmo if they do it) will be localized. So give Monster Hunter a chance!

 

[Rutger]

There's a Monster Hunter demo?

I may try it, I tried a demo on the PSP a long time ago and it didn't really work for me, but I'm still a little interested in the series.

Anyone playing that new Etrian Odyssey tomorrow? I'm pretty pumped

I picked it up and transferred my Demo data.

Still playing Fire Emblem though, so it may be a while before I really sit down and play it. I was a little sad to see that there was no instruction manual at all, especially since Atlus tends to go all out with their manuals, but I can understand a small company wanting to save costs on something in the game anyways.

I'm excited for Soul Hackers as well, that's not too far off now.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I bought the game because it looked interesting, but I haven't tried the Demo yet because I'm still playing Fire Emblem.

It'll arrive next week probably but I won't touch it until I'm done. Or bored. Whichever comes first

I have a bad habit of never finishing a game

 

[ndayday]

I have a bad habit of never finishing a game

At this point I've given up forcing myself to finish games, I just play whatever I'm in the mood for. It's bad buying tons of games and not really playing them all the way (accumulating a backlog I guess) but eh. I got Sticker Star last week and I've been playing a level every other day basically, it's much more fun than rushing through the game.

That said, starting tonight is EO. And maybe Gunman Clive. There's a cool contest over at gameFAQS that maybe someone here would be interested in.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Welp, time to put some extra money into my eShop balance as the price for HarmoKnight has been revealed: $15. I was expecting like $8 or $10 for this game but I'm still getting this game regardless of price.

Can't wait for this game as well as Luigi's Mansion this month!

 

[Minato]

Rumor has it that after the pre-screening of the new Devil Survivor 2 anime, they revealed Devil Survivor 2 Break Code for 3DS.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Iwata Asks on HarmoKnight.[url]

Has some beta elements and drawings talked about and more. A good read if you ask me.[/url]

 

[Astraea31]

So what do you guys think of the new Fire Emblem: Awakening? Planning on getting mine soon!

 

[Wario Bros.]

Edit: these are used to dl DS roms not 3DS.

I believe you. For starters, there are absolutely no 3DS emulators of any kind (PC emulators or flash cards), mainly because the 3DS has yet to be cracked. There are places where you can download 3DS ROMs but there is absolutely no way to play them (I guess you could use the ROMs to extract information/data or rip graphics/music but I may be wrong with this.)

 

[Lythium]

Pretty sure emulator/ROM talk is not allowed, dudes.

 

[Astraea31]

they should really have a sticky for that, sorry

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I heard the new Castelvania game sucks. Anyone buy it?

 

[TheKalmarKing]

I didn't buy it, but I thought the demo was pretty cool. I believe it's a "Love it or hate it" game, like LoS. Kinda makes sense since it's the sequel, but still.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I heard it's a shallow imitation of better games in the series, especially symphony of the night

 

[TheKalmarKing]

It wouldn't surprise me, reboots tend to imitate previous games. But at least, the 3D is totally awesome, it's really worth putting it on.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Maybe they should just port symphony of the night and add in 3D effects

 

[TheKalmarKing]

Symphony of the Night was a Sony game. Why not a Chronicles of Sorrow compilation instead? It's pure Nintendo, and really good games.

 

[Lythium]

Haven't played it, but I'm not really interested.

I don't really like how it looks, to be honest.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Symphony of the Night was a Sony game. Why not a Chronicles of Sorrow compilation instead? It's pure Nintendo, and really good games.

Who cares if a game was on a sony system or a Nintendo system. It wasn't owned by either of them.

Since it wasn't owned by either of them, there is no reason why it can't be on the others system

That's true, but if I was a Sony fan and saw my prized Symphony was fully remaked on 3DS and not on Vita, I would go "FUUUUUUUU-"

 

[Minato]

I heard the new Castelvania game sucks. Anyone buy it?

I played the demo, but I'm passing on the game. Makes me wonder if we'll ever get another Iga handheld Castlevania since I loved the GBA and DS ones.

 

[RespawningJesus]

That's true, but if I was a Sony fan and saw my prized Symphony was fully remaked on 3DS and not on Vita, I would go "FUUUUUUUU-"

And I would say grow up, the 3DS is the more profitable system to make games on right now.

(Had to tell most of my MH buddies this, since they got so butthurt over it being on Wii U and 3DS.)

As for the new Castlevania game, I thought it was like God of War meets Dracula. Most reviews I read said the story sucked, it was very linear, but the gameplay was fun.
