Nintendo 3DS

[relaxedexcorcist]

I've had this before. Can't give a solid answer but I suggest continuing blowing on it, toothpicking it, and try to shake it out (all WITHOUT severe force).

Maybe also try those compressed air sprays used on computers.

Alright. I'll try that right now thanks!

 

[Knife Myths]

I've only just completed chapter 2 of Layton VS Wright but it really feels like a Layton game with Wright as a guest star, which doesn't gel with me since I've never played a Layton game.

Hopefully it changes, but disregarding the prologue, the first Layton chapter gives Wright and Maya nothing to do besides occasionally play comic relief, while in the first Wright chapter Layton stands right next to him coaching him through his job and acting incredibly smug about it.

I heard Shu Takumi worked on this but the US localization is really inconsistent with Wright's character in huge ways. His sidekick is a spirit medium but he can't fathom the supernatural being real, he freaks out about having only two weeks to gather evidence for a case when in his own series he's given at the most 24 hours before he has to appear in court...and it's pretty much all so Layton can be portrayed as level headed and rational by contrast. I've read that Layton was designed to be like Wright, but without flaws...which is a really awful character design strategy, and it's pretty glaring when you put the two (literally) next to each other.

And despite the neutral setting the tone and the incidental characters feel more in line with what I know of Layton than anything in AA.

I was really excited for this but it's probably getting shelved permanently if playing it on my commute isn't enough to beat it before Smash comes out.

(I like the prosecutor so far though, if only because he seems like a more focused version of Blackquill's "What's left on the cutting room floor?" design. An English samurai with a pet bird who is in prison for murder wat.)

 

[Knight Dude]

Well, other than Smash, I was thinking I should get Azure Striker Gunvolt and Shovel Knight. I really want to play those. But I might have to wait a bit, there's always X-mas and stuff.

I'm thinking I should buy one of the Mega Man games on E-Shop as well. Maybe get Omega Ruby and DKC some point down the line too.

 

[Knife Myths]

DKC or DKCR? DKCR...I would not recommend, but if you're committed to trying it there's probably still someone trying to barter their free download code for a Coke or something.

 

[Vinylic.]

I'd advise having DKCR on the Wii instead. If you don't mind 30fps on the 3DS version, then the game's for you.

I highly recommend shovel knight as it is a very good platformer. Gunvolt is pretty similar to the Mega Man Z/ZX series.

 

[Keefer]

I was watching unboxing videos of the "NEW" 3DS and I noticed something. I saw a flipnote hatena icon and if anybody is familiar with it then they would know that they are making a 3d version of it. Once I saw this I scoured the internet to find any kind of additional information on it and didnt see even a grain of sand that goes into detail about why it's there. Maybe somebody else can help me figure out what it is.

 

[Vinylic.]

It's pretty much the same ol' Flipnote Studio 3D. It was released in japan on July 2013, but not in NA. Friends Service was permanently disabled, alongside SwapNote (Nintendo Letter Box) for security reasons. However, World Service is still running. Not much is known in NA because of the lack of interest after being past due for so many months. The release date is still TBD in here and EU.

Is there a reason Nintendo has yet to put GBA games on the 3DS's virtual console? There happen to be a lot of GBA games I missed out on when I was a kid that I would love to try now. Drill Dozer, Metroid Fusion, and Mother 3 are a few.

Nintendo wants 100 percent perfect emulation, which the 3DS might not be able to do. They have the ambassador games that had GBA games, but those are a bit different and seem to be ported individually iirc.

 

[Lord Viper]

So who's ready for Shantae Pirate's Curse this Thrusday? I have high hopes because the past two games were great, hope this one is much longer in gameplay time. ★

 

[IsmaR]

I'm still trying to find Water Town in the first game.

I love the game/series to death but I have the attention span of a squirrel.

 

[Wario Bros.]

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

I've been waiting soooo long for this bad boy (or should I say bad girl, lol). My eShop balance and SD card are ready baybee!

 

[HarmakPaul]

Who has played the game Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure? I finished it recently and I can't stop playing it. A lot of the challenges are great and so is the music. Hard mode gets aggravating sometimes (especially the missions where you have to time hitting A/B to jump) but it's fun overall.

 

[Vinylic.]

I played the demo and it was amazing.

Then again, I really love rhythm games from a nintendo device.

 

[κomıc]

Rhythm Thief is a great game that unfortunately was overlooked. And I only played the demo (at the time, I couldn't buy it). I might check it out in its entirety when it goes on sale on eShop.


Anyhow, anyone checking out Fantasy Life? It was one of my most wanted games for years and to finally be able to play it I'm really loving it.

Chose the life of a miner for now

 

[Lythium]

I kinda want to get Fantasy Life, but I'm trying to save money right now.

It looks really fun though.

 

[κomıc]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm glad I worked more hours this past week enough to get an extra game. It is taking me away from Smash Bros which is crazy haha.

 

[LunarWingCloud]

So these are all my 3DS games...

As well as on the system itself:
-Senran Kagura Burst
-Shovel Knight
-Mighty Switch Force!
-Mighty Switch Force! 2
-Liberation Maiden

And of those, I still have to beat Liberation Maiden, Mighty Switch Force 2, Bravely Default, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, and, Ocarina of Time 3D and Etrian Odyssey Untold.

Still got plans to eventually buy Kid Icarus Uprising and Star Fox 64 3D, also Azure Striker Gunvolt.

This 2D fighter is shaping up well (full disclosure: I did a bit of pre-alpha testing, it's really nice!). 3DS stretch goal would be really hype, the controls are second only to divekick in terms of accessibility so I feel like it could be a legit handheld fighter. https://www.kickstarter.com/project...t-rumble-new-2d-fighting-game-for-pc-and-hand

I remember hearing about this one, and mostly good things about it. Heard that it improved a lot so that's a good sign.

Might have to keep my eye out for this one.

 

[Sari]

I'm thinking of getting a 2DS for my birthday (probably won't get it for Christmas due to other somewhat expensive things) so I can play Smash better and I don't have to worry about breaking the top screen . If anyone has a 2DS could you please answer a few questions for me?

1. Does the 2DS have slower loading times than the 3DS?
2. Has anyone ever had any problems with the 2DS (games crashing, not loading, etc.)?

 

[Vinylic.]

The 2D should perform exactly the same as the 3DS, minus the 3D. If there were ever such problems, it should be contacted by nintendo immediately.

 

[takai]

So if anyone is a fan of WayForward and their games, like Shantae or Mighty Switch Force, make sure to tweet or email Nintendo asking for 3DS themes of those games. WayForward told me that if we ask Nintendo, they may do it. I certainly want them to!

 

[RespawningJesus]

So the New 3DS doesn't come with a charger. And the US is only getting the New 3DS XL, and no plans for the New 3DS are being made by the looks of it. Anyone's thoughts on this?

 

[Deleted member]

So the New 3DS doesn't come with a charger.

Would it really cost Nintendo that much more to include it with the New 3DS? I'm sure those who don't own a DSi or any previous 3DS model would appreciate the convenience. If I decide to trade my current 3DS in for a New 3DS XL, then I'll remind myself to not bring my charger.

And the US is only getting the New 3DS XL, and no plans for the New 3DS are being made by the looks of it.

I guess the "old" 3DS XL was more popular than the smaller original 3DS, but not everyone's hands are big (mine are, but still).

 

[IsmaR]

IIRC, special edition 3DS/XL bundles already practiced this. My M&L "Year of Luigi" 3DS XL came with no charger.

Good thing I already had a spare.

 

[Spirst]

Huh, really? That's odd. I have the same one and that came with a charger.

 

[IsmaR]

I remember reading it was a regional thing. A lot of my friends in the UK have told me special editions not coming with chargers was the norm.

 

[RespawningJesus]

Japan has been doing the no charger thing for a long time now. And Europe has had the same deal going on for them. But considerng that the charger is only $10.

I also heard word of how you switch out SD cards in the New 3DS XL: you have to unscrew the back to swap the cards. Da **** Nintendo.

I'm disappointed that we aren't getting the small one. I love the white one with the super famicom buttons, and I love the face plates. I would've settled for the XL if I could get my hands on the Majora's Mask one, but it's sold out. I already have a 3DS, but as of now, I'm not buying a New 3DS for just a black/red XL.

Also yeah, no idea why they made it so you had to get a screw driver to change the SD card lol

Luckily it's not a specific one I hear, but still. A little frustrating.

Yeah, I managed to get my hands on the Monster Hunter 4 New 3DS. No way am I gonna have a fugly looking XL. =P

 

[Creo]

Has anyone been paying attention to the "Legend of Legacy"? The game appears to have been developed by a fairly experienced team (I can't cite names at the moment, but you can check on it), and it looks great. The artistic direction gives off a Bravely Default vibe to me, which I don't mind, the combat is turn-based with the encountering being real-time, the music seems pleasant, etc. I'm not sure if any localization plans are being made, but I'd give it a day one purchase from what I've seen so far. Give it a look if you've any interest.

Edit: Also, I had gotten my hands on a N3DS (Majora's Mask edition) on the day of its announcement. . . Pretty excited about that, considering I still only own the O.G. 3DS at the moment.

 

[RespawningJesus]

Just a friendly reminder, but Club Nintendo is going to be shutting down, so be sure to register all your games now in case you were saving some for platinum for next year.

 

[Chinaux]

Where can I get my hands on a copy of Kid Icarus? That game looks hella fun, but I don't want to pay $50 for it.

3DS games aren't normally $50 ($40 actually). Try buying it used like GameStop if you're worried about price.

Alternately, starting today it's on sale digitally via Nintendo eShop for $24.49 if that helps.

And yes, it's definitely "hella fun".

Doesn't it come with the circle pad? That's the one I'm trying to get my hands on. Unless it's not necessary for the game.
