Nintendo 3DS

[Vinylic.]

The game rating is average (7.00). Minor flaws, still fun to play.

If you got this out of an ign review by a guy named Colin, he's pretty much wrong. Can't spell ignorant without ign.

 

[RespawningJesus]

IGN is such a joke that I never read anything from them anymore.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I tried the HarmoKnight demo that game out today. I like what it offered but it was harder than what I was expecting (not a bad thing.). I guess I'll play some more just to make sure if I'll pick up this game up soon.

 

[ndayday]

I think the Bike Theme was intentionally just a hard level thrown in. It seems fun, would buy.

 

[Vinylic.]

Same; it really looks fun.

I had no idea that game was made by gamefreak.

 

[ndayday]

So this and this are like the greatest things ever and I can't wait.
If you don't like at least one of these we can never be friends.

I like the idea of demons teaching you skills, assuming this means skill are not lost forever when you get rid of one then I think this is a step up from Nocturne's skill system.
I'd love it if we can switch out learned skills like in DDS.

 

[TheKalmarKing]

HarmoKnight is the greatest demo I played in a while. Even if it's really harder than I thought (But is that a problem?), it's still one of my most anticipated games now. That, and DuckTales of course.

EO4 is my favorite 3ds game so far (surpassing FE:A and mh3u)

excited for luigis mansion 2 sunday night :o

 

[RespawningJesus]

Preordered Luigi's mansion since last year, and I am not going to be paying off the rest because of MH. (Can only afford one game this month.). Maybe I'll get it next month.

It really is good

getting Luigi"s Mansion Wednesday at the latest. For now, I'm playing the original (never beat it)!

 

[Rutger]

I'm still playing through EOIV. I like my team, they work well with eachother. I'm finding it a little easier than III, but not as easy as II was with the Hexer, though I bet my Arcanist could take care of random battles just as well if I focused on sleep or poison instead of healing.

There's a lot of little things I like over the previous games, and the Airship is so much better than sailing in EOIII. The music has been really nice too, but that's not too surprising after the other games, I just reached the fourth area and it has a lot of new tracks that I like.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Going to hold off on Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. After being severely disappointed with the Mario games lately, I don't want to waste money on another one.

 

[RespawningJesus]

I though Dark Moon was a Luigi game, not a Mario game. =P

 

[Player-3]

havent played much into dark moon so far but if you liked the original luigis mansion you'll like this one; extremely similar (which is a good thing imo)

 

[Lythium]

Got my copy of Luigi's Mansion, but I probably won't have a chance to play it for a while.

I'm pretty excited for it though~

 

[LivewiresXe]

Let us know what you think of it. I remember mixed things about the first one, so I'm wondering how they did on this one.

 

[Brickbox]

My 3ds right shoulder button stopped working yesterday. I think its due to junk under the button. especially because I get really sweaty hands when I play video games.
I heard just blow really hard into the button? I think Ill just try and use an air compressor and blow it out tomorrow.
anyone else have this happen?

 

[Bowser D.X]

One thing I can't overlook is how bad the battery life is. It seems like I'm always having to charge it.

 

[RespawningJesus]

Welcome to technology of the future where just about every portable device has ****ty battery life.

 

[Bowser D.X]

Perhaps they have deals with the electricity companies so they can get money from the power bills of people constantly charging their 3DS's.

It's all that drifting in MK7 lol. But yeah it just might be because it has seen a lot of use, seeing if you can dislodge something is worth it though.
if you're under warranty the next best would be Nintendo I'm guessing.
Cleaning cloths are your friends!

 

[Brickbox]

I keep my 3ds really clean. I keep a microfiber cloth in between the screena when its closed :3

I just blew in the button really hard and it worked. didnt have to use an air compressor or canned air :D
it went from 100% unresponsive to working perfect :D

so I want to hear opinions on luigis mansions controls

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

My L button broke.

I need to call Nintendo to repair it, but that means I can't play it while it's being repaired.

 

[ndayday]

If you have a week coming up soon where you're busy, wait until then. If you're in school I recommend finals/a week where you need to study since you'll possibly be less distracted!

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

The finals in my classes don't require study, since they aren't tests.

We are assigned projects to work on and just have to turn them in before the end which they call "Finals", though they aren't any different from any other weekly project throughout the quarter

 

[ndayday]

guess you gotta suck it up then

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

My R button broke as well, so I just contacted Nintendo anyway

 

[Brickbox]

tell how much they charge you and how long its expected to take them.

My R button is on its last legs

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

It's covered in my warranty...so it's free

 

[FlareHabanero]

Out of curiosity, but is anyone else playing HarmoKnight at the moment?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I was and I enjoyed it. But I have to send my 3DS in for repair

Atlus confirmed that SMTIV is coming to US this summer. http://www.japanator.com/shin-megami-tensei-iv-heads-to-north-america-this-summer-28374.phtml

Cool, I just pre-ordered Soul Hackers too.

And SMTIV in the summer? really didn't expect that. This is a great year for JRPGs on the 3DS, now we just need to convince Square to release Bravely Default.

 

[Tyser]

Lythium edit: I don't think so, bro.

First warning. Next time, you'll be reported too.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Huh...and here I'd forgotten that Lythi had mod powers, lol. On SMT IV though, I have to admit that I'm trying to figure out if it's the 4th game to be separate from the Persona series, or if SMT counting as part of Persona 1-3 means that it's the first one away from that series.

 

[Rutger]

It's the fourth Shin Megami Tensei game.

Persona doesn't have the SMT name in Japan, it's a sub-series and Atlus gives all them the SMT name when localizing them.

Games with the SMT name are:
Shin Megami Tensei, SMT II, SMT if..., SMT III: Nocturne, SMT Strange Journey, SMT IV
The MMO too, SMT Imagine

Everything else is given the SMT name during localization, so mainly these series:
Persona, Digital Devil Saga, Devil Summoner, Devil Survivor

All of the games tend to share themes or gameplay ideas, and all of them have the mythological demons and deities that you fight against and/or fight alongside of. I think Atlus adds the SMT name on for brand recognition, but I think they are usually close enough for it to make sense.

Besides, it can be confusing even without the added name, the numbered games plus Strange Journey and Imagine are part of the main series while SMT if... was a "what if" story that led to the creation of the Persona series, which I believe also has some ties with the Devil Summoner games.

All the games are usually independent of others, even within their own series, so you don't need to be worried about being lost when starting a game.

 

[LivewiresXe]

Ohhh, okay. Thanks, that makes as much sense as it can to somebody like me who's relatively unfamiliar with the series as a whole.

 

[Minato]

More news about Bravely Default. Sounds like it's coming, but all we need is that official announcement from Square-Enix.

This is such a good year for 3DS owners. Hopefully next year, Wii U's will experience the same.

Why is 3DS SO GOOD
