Nintendo 3DS

[Dodongo]

Is anyone else playing a lot of revelations? Raid Mode is really fun, especially if you can play it locally.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

I play that a lot. Raid mode alone probably consumes most of my time when I have free time.

 

[RespawningJesus]

I play a lot of Raid mode myself. I S ranked everything on every difficulty, so I'm pretty much done with Revelations, but I will help out anyone who may need assistance with it.

 

[Disfunkshunal]

Nintendo direct conference tomorrow http://m.ign.com/articles/1219123 BE THERE

 

[Zankoku]

6AM? I guess I get to watch this just before work :D

 

[GwJ]

I've seen enough of these conferences to realize that whatever it is, I can wait for a report later.

 

[Hax]

so far i have:

OOT 3D: 10/10, not much to be said here
SF64 3D: 7.5/10, was obligated to buy it cause it was one of my favorite games as a kid but it hasn't aged well. worth $20, not $40
MK7: 9/10, does everything i could have asked for for a 3d, portable mario kart. online play is great. i just miss the old snaking system

definitely gonna pick up mario land 3d and snake eater 3d soon. how are RE: mercenaries and revelations? heard mercenaries sucks

Avoid RE: Mercenaries like the plague. You can't delete your saved data and it's basically worth $10 instead of the normal $50 price tag.

 

[RespawningJesus]

Pretty much Mercenaries was made to give the development team of Revelations a better idea on how the 3DS works. In fact, Revelations was in development before Mercenaries.

So get Revelations, since it is worth full price and more.

Also, I just got Snake Eater 3D (without a pre-order,) and pre-ordered Kid Icarus. I think I'll be good with my 3DS collection now.

 

[Fuelbi]

Egh, I'm still not good with my collection of 3DS games. So far I have:

Sonic Generations
Starfox 64 3D
Super Mario 3D Land
Pushmo
3D Classics Excitebike
3D Classics Kirby's Adventure
Kirby's Dreamland
Super Mario Bros
LoZ: Four Swords

And I still have to get MK7, Kid Icarus Uprising, maybe the new Kingdom Hearts, maybe Snake Eater, Luigi's Mansion 2, and some other ones I can't remember

The 3DS's library is really starting to shape up pretty well if I say so with all the new releases

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Mercenaries I feel if you liked Resident Evil 5's version you will like this game and also if you enjoy killing Ganado and Majini.

 

[---]

I just pre-ordered Uprising.

Now I play the waiting game...

 

[Brickbox]

All these good games make me wish I had more time and $

 

[---]

I just got the console version of Sonic Generations. So far I think both it and the 3DS version are equally good and are both worth getting.

 

[Dodongo]

Rolling Western is out on the eShop!

 

[RespawningJesus]

Get pumped up for Kid Icarus: Uprising! Sakurai explains the game.

EDIT: Also, Snake Eater 3DS ain't too bad. The game translates well onto the 3DS, and the frame-rate is in tip-top form. My only complaint is that the lip motions are a bit choppy, but that is understandable. Other than that, its the same Snake Eater we all know and love.

PS: Easy is EASY, even without the EZ Gun. Which is perfect for those not familiar with the MGS series, or for those who just want to enjoy themselves, or those who don't have too much time on their hands. Play Normal or above for a challenge. (Normal is a much better way to experience the game in my opinion.)

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Finished watching. I like the amount or strategy this game will require. I can see myself putting hours and hours of time into this game. It is perfect actually because when I go out to sea and have nothing to do I'll have this game to play with.

I am having a hard time with the snake eater controls...is it better with the 3DS double analog pad attachment?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I think I'm going to enjoy Kid Icarus Uprising

 

[Dodongo]

Well I've only played the demo (I'm actually picking up the retail version after work today), but the circle pad made the controls go from adequate to stellar.

RE: R plays well enough without a circle pad, but MGS3 really needs one for the best experience.

 

[Deleted member]

Has anyone here tried or plans to try Dillon's Rolling Western? It looks really cool, but I want some opinions.

Nintendo with dat 3DS swag.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Even more for Kid Icurus. I will go with Dark Team.

 

[RespawningJesus]

Yeah. The controls are a little odd without the Circle Pad. I highly recommend it for Snake Eater. Pretty much the only real reason to ever get a Circle Pad, since RE has decent controls without it, and that Kid Icarus won't even use it unless you are a lefty such as myself.

Apparently the game boasts 20 hours for a skilled player, so you'll be playing it for quite some time.

 

[Brickbox]

Anyone have Sakura samurai and know how long of a game that might be?

 

[Supreme Dirt]

I have it, haven't beaten it because I've been busy (Brawl- stuff).

I do definitely recommend it though, seems like it has some length to it.

 

[@TKbreezy]

aight I might go pick up Snake Eater + the pad today.

I already paid off all my kid icarus tho. let the waiting game commence.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Time goes by fast. Shoot, look how fast 2012 is taking off. I feel we won't be waiting long.

 

[F8AL]

I want Paper Mario. D:

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I want to get Dillion's rolling western and shante's risky revenge from the eshop thing.

I've never used those point things before. I'll figure it out, but I dislike how you can't do direct payments rather than putting money into an account

 

[Dodongo]

You can do direct payments (if you're in the US)

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

You can do direct payments (if you're in the US)

No, I checked. You can use a credit card to directly put money into and account. The problem with that is it only has set prices of $5, $10, $20, etc. and games don't cost sums like that.

I'd have cents or even dollars left in the account to rot, which is a waste of money

There's an option near the bottom that says "amount to pay" or something like that. Say I bought Dillon's Rolling Western today (and I did and that game is amazing. Best eShop game right besides Pushmo and is way worth the purchase) and I had .04$ in my account. I pushed the option to let me add 9.95$ to the account so I can make 9.99$ that the game costs. There is the option to add money to your account that matches the exact amount the game costs.

If you don't live in the US, which I guess you don't, then I guess that option isn't available for you, but it is for me

I found it, It's available in the purchase game screen. I thought you had to add funds from the "Add funds" option in the menu

Bought Dillion's Rolling Western

So I just saw the review from IGN for this game.

I love how terribly misinformed their review about this game was. They complained that the enemies would disappear and reappear again from the minimap of the level, when they only disappear because they go out of the line of sight of a watch tower built. They complained that the enemies would disappear off the map even though it was kinda obvious that there's some sort of "fog of war" or something from the lighted up and shaded up areas of the map. They also complained that the game had no sunsetting effect for the night where they say it's day time one second and then suddenly it's night time. That's complete bull**** because you get like an entire 5 minutes of sunset or something before you actually transition into night.

It's so hilarious how the two major complaints about the game was stuff they didn't even bother to investigate more on. It seriously seems like the people at IGN got like 5 minutes with the game and then decided on the verdict without any further gameplay of the game.

But then this IS IGN we're talking about after all. They never know **** about what they're talking about.

I personally thought that DRW is a great game. The gameplay is fun, the combat mechanics are neat, etc. with my only complaint about the game being the long daytime hours with not much to do besides roll around the map to mine ores and find those flowers for the night time. Asides from that, DRW is a great game and I seriously want to see a second game being made for this. Even Dillon seems like a great new IP character created and if you ask me he has a lot of promise for further games. His concept is cool and the industry needs more cowboy spaghetti western stuff games

 

[F8AL]

You seem surprised Fuelbi, why is that?

IGN sucks.

I honestly didn't think they were that terrible.

And how they became this popular is beyond me

Both IGN and Gamespot sucks. I usually check metacritic before buying a game.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

I was going to say in terms of rating I avoid IGN due to their bad terms of rating games which did people go to to get a good rating and fair reviews for games.

 

[Wave⁂]

A bit off topic, but I usually check gameplay videos and sites like RPS.
