Nintendo 3DS

[Host Change]

Very old news.

3DS' problem right now is that there is hardly anything worthwhile for it. Hopefully this will be fixed sooner than later.

I agree. I only own one 3DS game right now, and that's kind of for a reason. While I could buy other games, there's nothing worthwhile out yet. The handheld is amazing, but there is a lack of titles to back it up. I guess I'll be using it for StarFox and Netflix only for a while...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm watching one of the Nintendo Videos from that free app

It's the most boring video ever but the 3D makes the thing look really awesome

 

[Host Change]

If I had more things to do on the system and 5 or so really good games, I don't think I would ever watch those lol... The 3D does make them look cool though.

 

[OmegaXXII]

What brain?

And fine then

Haha, quoted and confirmed?

Seriously, I can't wait for Dragon Quest Rocket Rocket Slime that's due sometime during the Winter, also any other RPG recommendation like Fire Emblem would be splendid.

I heard a WarioWare 3DS and Yoshi 3DS are rumored to come out as well.

 

[UberMario]

But another mario land hopefully means no bowser.

Boom-Boom is going to have his first appearance since Super Mario Bros. 3, odds are Bowser will be in it

I'd love to see this happen. Despite what many fans might say, Yoshi's Island DS was a really good sequal that only suffered from having an average soundtrack.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Mario Land shouldn't have Bowser in it.

The Mario Land series' enemy is suppose to be Tatanga/ Wario. NOT Bowser

They should have named it something else

 

[Zankoku]

I thought Tatanga's only major role was to attempt to take over Sarasaland.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I thought Tatanga's only major role was to attempt to take over Sarasaland.

He is the primary boss in Mario Land, and the second to last boss in Mario Land 2

The point is, he's been a major villain in the entire Mario Land series. Until now.

 

[Zankoku]

Does Wario Land's prefix not count, then?

 

[UberMario]

I thought Tatanga's only major role was to attempt to take over Sarasaland.

He was hired by Wario to distract Mario while Wario took Mario's castle. (Yes, Mario's. Apparently, he was awarded one for saving the princess or something)

He was also a major boss in SML2.

Does Wario Land's prefix not count, then?

Wario Land was supposed to be a one-off title, from my understanding, but became so popular that he went on to have his own series. Mario also makes a cameo in SML3:WL, and the plot revolves mostly around Wario wanting to build his own castle, since he couldn't have Mario's.

Do you guys typically have problems with 3DS battery life? I just got mine a week ago, and I've noticed that the battery hasn't been lasting very long. :/

Is there anything I could do that would significantly help this, or does the 3DS just not last nearly as long as any of Nintendo's other handhelds?

 

[theeboredone]

How long is it going? Are using the 3D slider to max settings or is it off?

Yeah, the battery life goes down pretty quickly when you use the third screen. There are little addon things you can buy that will increase the battery life to 20 hours or so. Cost $25-ish, last time I checked.

Just as a reminder here is the link to Nintendo's official stream concerning a Nintendo 3DS announcement today.

[Ryu Shimazu]

Starfox 3DS

My comments.

Lacking what I hoped. Beat the game, get 15 medals on one mode, everythings unlocked. Worth 20imo, but extremely fun. Too bad it's kinda lacking in content.

Monster Hunter 3G for the 3DS however...mmm.

 

[Host Change]

How long is it going? Are using the 3D slider to max settings or is it off?

I usually have the 3D slider at half. I haven't kept close track of the exact time but it seems to die fast off high charge. Doesn't seem to last more than 4 hours if I was to guess. Tomorrow I'll pay closer attention.

 

[theeboredone]

Well, I do believe you get 5 hours tops from the 3D being on. Might also depend on your brightness setting.

In any case, my internet is being lame...someone tell me the big news about this Nintendo conference when it's done.

 

[Disfunkshunal]

FE sequel was just confirmed.

 

[OmegaXXII]

Fire Emblem 13 has been officially confirmed just now from the stream I provided.

Happy day indeed!! ^_^

 

[Zankoku]

Bravely Default confirmed! Best game name I've ever seen from Japan in a while lol

 

[Wave⁂]

**** ALL THAT, MIKU HATSUNE GAME

oh man, Nintendo guys are geniuses, and not in a sarcastic way

 

[Host Change]

Oh ok, that would make sense with why I haven't had great battery life. I have my brightness at whatever it is factory default, so I might as well have to check that and see how that helps. I typically don't have my handhelds on the highest brightness setting but I didn't even think about that.

I'm going to have to go look that up right now...

 

[OmegaXXII]

Also, Monster Hunter 3, if anyone cares, is releasing December 10th this year... in Japan at least

 

[Zankoku]

And then Capcom announced Monster Hunter 4.

 

[Wave⁂]

MH3 will probably be out in NA in like 2013

 

[OmegaXXII]

MH3 will probably be out in NA in like 2013

That seems to be the case, hopefully it will be announced sooner, sometime next year?

 

[theeboredone]

So we got FE, MH...any talk about the 3DS Analog stick?

 

[Mr. Johan]

No mention of the analog stick, I think.

FE became my favorite franchise after playing Shadow Dragon and Path of Radiance, so I'm very excited that a new FE is on the way. Hopefully, it's not a remake or a continuation of a saga; set it someplace entirely new.

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

Gachaman!

Awesome stuff.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Every time Nintendo releases a new Mario game and changes something I fear I'm not going to like it, but I usually do in the end.

Still, another New Super Mario Bros. based on Mario 2 or 3 would be glorious

You're in luck my friend, for those who didn't know, Nintendo held a conferance last night in Japan/yesterday, and guess what? Fire Emblem 13 got officially confirmed for the 3DS, that right, a new FE game, by the looks of things it seems that that will be the case because it looks like Fire Emblem 3DS will not be associated with any existing story. It will be brand new. Which is actually pretty good, here are some screenshot below:

Caution: Spoiler Below:

Spoiler

It seems that Krom/Chrome will yield a Falchion as his weapon of choice.

It appears that his name of the hero is "Chrome/Krom" which is pretty interesting indeed, I am indeed going to get this game along with a "pink" 3DS that will soon release as well.

 

[Rutger]

I am happy.

Just need NoA to be willing to localize it.

 

[Host Change]

Do you guys have any luck with StreetPass? I've only ever picked up one guy ever, and seem to get him every time I go to my math class now. It was a cool idea in theory, but I don't think it works all that well... Of course I've had my DS for a week, but idk.

I actually got interested in the two games on the StreetPass Plaza and I'd prefer to do some of that stuff legit rather than spend tokens.

 

[Zankoku]

I got like a billion Streetpasses at Genesis 2.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

3DS getting some good stuff.

MH has me pumped. Hope it gets localized... x.x

 

[OmegaXXII]

Also for those of you interested in Mario Kart 7, 2 new people got confirmed as well.

Lakitu and Metal Mario confirmed

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5bb-Fz5HPk

Spoiler

Lakitu finally playable.

Metal Mario confirmed! DS Waluigi Pinball confirmed!

Wingless blue shell! The FAIRER of the blue shells is back

Leaf

Trick System Returns, New First-Person, and Motion-Controlled Mode

I really am hyped for this game as well aside from FE 3DS.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm confused about Metal Mario. I hear conflicting reports that it's an item or a character

 

[Wave⁂]

Please please please have a double dash mode

 

[Deleted member]

Waluigi Pinball is back!
