hey where can i find a screen protector for the touch screen? wouldnt mind buying one to decrease the amount of scratches my touchscreen gets. I didnt see them at gamestop.

Try searching on amazon for some. I found some ones that go for as cheap as .01. (Minus shipping and handling.). I would have a link, but sadly I am on my phone.

 

[ndayday]

I bought these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004W5LLNY/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

The cloths that come with it are **** though, they do not clean at all and instead shed more than a dog. Have a microfiber cloth ready btw. Also the top screen protector is really hard to get on, the holes for the speakers are literally the same size as the speaker holes so it's a pain to align it.

The bottom screen protector is good though. And if you screw up applying it you have 2 more chances before having to wash them.

 

[theeboredone]

I suck with screen protectors...always end up leaving those air bubbles present.

 

[John2k4]

Get some off eBay. Sooo much cheaper if you get one or two from China that have free shipping and everything.

Assuming you can wait 1-2 weeks for it to arrive. =P

Actually so far my 3DS screen has stayed relatively good, even better than my old Gameboys and DS. Though with the latter, the Pokemon Ranger series did a number to it. lol

 

[John2k4]

Ranger is the reason why I put a screen protector on my DS.

That was some crazy circling to be had. =P



Pokemon Ranger 3DS - If this happens, it would be nice to be able to use the thumbstick to do your circling instead of killing the touchscreen.

Right now I'm playing dream drop distance. Its pretty forgiving on the touch screen. worst I have to do with it is minigames for the dream eaters, but otherwise its not anything super abusive =P

A Mario game (currently) under an 80? This is 2012.

A Mario game (currently) under an 80? This is 2012.

From what I've seen, the scores 80 and under are pretty fair.

It's funny cause Nintendo will make millions off of the game anyway. Minus well sell cardboard with "Mario" written on it.

I miss the multiple IPs that Nintendo put out games for, it's the reason I'm more on the Sony side even when they make poor choices.

 

[Claire Diviner]

Well, in all honesty, I see all the New Super Mario Bros. games as more or less expansions to the original DS title. I mean, the visuals are pretty much the same. The only real difference are the power-ups and stages. I feel the games shouldn't even be called "NEW Super Mario Bros." anymore.

From the reviews I've read this is pretty much the reason why the newest "New" Super Mario Bros game isn't getting the usual 9/10s.

Honestly, game critics review on a four point scale anyway.

Nintendo's always flooded the market with a ****ton of Mario games. Its just easier to notice now that we have the internet and our knowledge of games isn't limited to whatever Target/Walmart/where ever you got games as a kid had stocked at the time.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

This may sound weird, but one of the most useful Dream eaters in Kingdom hearts 3DS is "Komory Bat"

...

Odd, right, since it's Riku's first dream eater. But it casts some nice spells including gravity.

I love e pet concepts of xiii2 and kh

 

[theeboredone]

I don't own a 3DS or anything, but when I do get one eventually, KH will be one of the games I eye most.

But my problem seems to stem mainly from having a pet monster as an ally. I've never been a fan of this, and I'm also just a fan of having Donald and Goofy by your side. If not them, I'd prefer to solo.

Is there a way to not have a dream monster/eater everywhere you go?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

There is a tyrannosaurus rex pet

How could you not want a tyrannosaurus rex

 

[theeboredone]

I just feel like monster pets in general do not add any element to the game. They hardly have any "character" or "depth" to them compared to an ally that can you know...talk, listen, and work with you outside battles.

 

[RespawningJesus]

Is there a way to not have a dream monster/eater everywhere you go?

Yes, you can choose to solo it, and heck, they even have an ability that let's you receive 0 Exp. if you want to do a lvl. 1 only run.

But the Spirits do give you abilities such as Leaf Bracer and Attack Boost, so you may want to show them some love. Also, there are a lot more enemies on screen at once than in previous KH installments, so the Spirits do help with crowd control.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Also there are some really awesome ones. Every time I want a monster and work to get it, I have time to enjoy it. THAN something even cooler comes. Like a friggin' T-Rex.

It would be kind of difficult to fit Donald and Goofy into the game as sidekicks given the story, and the fact you switch between Sora and Riku.

Spoiler

and the fact you RUN into dream versions of them from their past.

But I guess blaming the story for something doesn't make a lot of sense. Because the story could simply have been made to match the mechanics. Or vice versa

 

[finalark]

So I just got Kingdom Hearts 3D. Right now I'm on The Grid. So far I've gotten a sort of "been there, done that" feeling from this game. I'm hoping that will change when I hit up new worlds.

Also, I approve of the addition of a talent tree system. And is it just me, or does this game seem a bit harder than usual?

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

Tales of The Abyss is pretty fun. Should have picked it up earlier or back when it was on the PS2.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Club Nintendo removed the item I wanted as a reward for the gold nunchuk...

Dang it. I don't have the gold wiimote, so the gold nunchuk is worthless.

All my points are worthless now, since there is nothing I want.

 

[finalark]

All my points are worthless now, since there is nothing I want.

That's pretty much how I feel. I hold onto the hope that one day they'll put up games I actually care about that you can buy with your points.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

The most hilarious thing ever

* The gold controller will simply be gold in color and will not contain any actual precious metals.

 

[Luigitoilet]

The most hilarious thing ever

That's moderately funny!

Man, feels like Luigi's Mansion 2 is taking forever to get here.

Luigi's Mansion is delayed til Q1 '13

Paper Mario coming 11/11

Sweet, that saves me some money this month.

 

[ndayday]

Why is Freakyforms so amazing.

I know it's for little kids but it's surprisingly fun.

Who likes teaser sites?

Who likes teaser sites that accidentally give hints before they're supposed too?

Siliconera article

I am now eagerly awaiting next sunday

Posting this here since I imagine this game would be for this console.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Probably a sequel to The World Ends With You, or something related to it. At least that's what the techno music and the count down is hinting at.

Seriously though, I loved TWEWY, and if this is a sequel (and it's extremely likely to be one given the elements shown) I will so hop on that train. I'm guessing with the success of TWEWY (not sure just how successful it was) paired with increased interest in the characters thanks to Kingdom Hearts 3D, it isn't surprising that they'd make a TWEWY follow-up.

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

In case we needed anymore evidence that the site is going to show TWEWY something, the url on the teaser site has the word "subaseka." It's likely that it's just a shortening of he japanese title of TWEWY, which is Subarashiki kono Sekai (It's a Wonderful Life).

Wonder if they'll using new characters or settings. Also if the game is in a new setting, would that mean different rules for the Reapers Game, and possibly different gameplay all together...

 

[Luigitoilet]

I hate this kind of stuff. do we really need a teaser for an announcement?

 

[Host Change]

^Curiosity gets people talking. And more hype and suspense is a good thing for them...

 

[Lythium]

New TWEWY game?

YES, PLEASE.

 

[Rutger]

I saw this last night, very hyped.

Need to see more first, we don't know what it really yet.

I might want to replay TWEWY again.

"A total of 901d 19h 24m have passed"

I forgot this game kept track of that.

 

[RespawningJesus]

A new TWEWY game? Yes please. But I predict a new cast of main characters.

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

I wouldn't mind that at all.

Hey, guys, some unfortunate news:

http://kotaku.com/5936628/report-nintendo-power-shutting-down

After 24 years, Nintendo Power will be no more. I also posted this in the Wii/Wii U thread for those who don't frequent this one with John2k4's permission.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

New Super Mario Bros 2 has the most awesome art I've seen in a mario game yet.

And even better, dry goombas and dry pirahna plants!
