What have you been playing on your comfy 3DS?

Last summer and played and finished Dragon quest 8 and loved it, it was my first dq game. Which should I play next? I own iv-ix

dsiware strategy game

Yo-kai Watch 3.
One of the best RPGs on the 3DS imo. So much content in it.

3, 4, and 5 are classics. 4 and 5 are a little more structured.

Planes

Of course it's worth it, there's an entire library of great exclusive games available on it for free and you can even emulate older systems. It's great if you're into portable gaming. The other poster is right that New 3DS XL is the best one.

Finished hotel dusk after starting it almost 8 years ago.Now playing my 5 years old TWEWY save and also started DQV.
On 3DS just SMT IV but not that far.

Shouldn't you just get the definitive version of TWEWY on Switch at this point?

I haven’t touched my 3DS in a few months. I really need to go finish Fire Emblem Awakening before Three Houses comes out. I bought MH4U when it was $8 on the eshop and never played it, then got into MHW and came back around to MHGU on the Switch. I feel like I missed out not play MH4U.

Not too much, GU uses a lot of 4U's maps and 4U is kind of lacking in features.

Just finished Persona Q2. Didn't like the first one and, big shocker, didn't much care for this one either.

Probably gonna move onto Bowsers Inside Story.
One of these days I'll get around to Xenoblade Chronicles, but I want to finish 2's Torna expansion first, and that's gonna take a while.

Ah, Torna is a long game? That's good to know. I just bought it but mainly for the code for the XB2 expansion pass, since I'm still working on that game. I was worried that despite the lower price it'd be really short because companies like to do that thing where they severely overcharge for DLC compared to the amount of content you get.

Right at the tail end of Luigi's Mansion. Pretty fun game, glad that I finally got it and Dark Moon

I know you didn't want help, but you have to go to Goron City next

Can you play it without playing the other two? I've been considering it for a while but I have so many games to play.

Someone just casually dropped a link to DQ8 at the end of one of these threads and I didn't see anyone notice it so I figured I'd pass it on.

Is this patched with the orchestral music and/or uncensored content?

It seems to be, yeah. The one thing I don't know if it's the English dub or undub so I was hoping somebody else could test it for me before I download it because I'd prefer to play it dubbed.

chrono trigger with twilight menu

recently i also realized this console can play all of the mainline pokemon games in its entirety from the GB era to the 3DS era. shit's baller.

I want to restart and replay Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon, but I'm indecisive and can't decide on a main duo.

You pick two characters from this list? I say Riolu and Fennekin.

how comfy is Xenoblade on the 3DS, user?

is there a cheap way to get a non-XL new 3ds?

They can't be the same type, but yeah 2 of those guys.

I keep wanting to play Soul Hackers but then find something else to play. However, I just started playing the Professor Layton series. Thankfully, the DS games are still really cheap.

Oracle of Seasons for the first time. I only had Ages as a kid and Seasons feels like a romhack.

Good grief man, why buy the DS games at this point? You're literally missing out on the DLC because you can't connect to the internet, but you can get it with a modified ROM.

Persona Q2 and Mario and Luigi BIS

I don't remember 999's puzzles ever being that hard. VLR was certainly a bitch though, and I haven't played ZTD so I can't comment on that.

As much as it’s memed navis tips always guide you in the right direction just play sarias song and click talk to navi.
After the forest temple she says something like ‘death mountain looks pretty ominous, we should check it out’.

Honestly with how she's constantly screaming at you I'm not sure how he could have possibly gotten lost.

Considering how much the Switch port neutered the battle system, it’s probably for the best that he sticks with the DS version of TWEWY.

>how comfy is Xenoblade on the 3DS, user?
Pretty comfy once you get into it, but there’s a lot of subsystems in the game to figure out that can make it seem daunting at first. I still haven’t fully worked out how Affinity works and am stuck on finding the items for that one Kneecap Rock Colony 6 quest to get the portable gem reactor.

Depends on where you live, as far as I know the regular N3DS wasn't released in the US. I have to say though, I've tried both and I'm glad I went with the XL, it's more comfortable to hold (especially with one of those $5 plastic grip accessories from China) and I prefer the bigger screens, even if they are more pixelated due to the resolution.

I was actually not sure if the Switch version was worth playing so I was hoping someone would answer that for me. Good to know then.

It was, but not like a standard wide release of just the base console. There were a bunch of limited deal theme bundles and shit.

SMT Strange Journey Deep (JP version of Redux)

Thankfully the game is easy enough that most of the systems don't actually matter all that much. The only roadblock is one boss near the end where you have to know how to play Melia, but as long as you have everyone's ether-based arts leveled you'll still be fine.

It’s a shame, really. The new music and pins are pretty cool but the battle system just isn’t as fun as the DS version.

I'm playing PQ2 and about to fight Kamoshidaman. I'm still on a quest to find every worthy 3DS game. I know I'm missing a few Laytons and Ace Attorney's I think. I'm trying to decide whether 7th Dragon is actually worth it, because I have tried playing that game in the beginning a few times. Just seems like a shitty no effort JRPG. Girls Mode 4 I will delete because it's just Japanese girl hogwash but the soundtrack seems to be good. I'll give Style Savvy a try because I heard it was good here. And I want to patch Maplestory for 3DS but I dunno if that is worth it either.

You speak Japanese?

>Maplestory
People still play that?

Style Savvy is just the English name for Girls Mode, you know.

There was a standalone single player MapleStory game on 3DS. It was Korean only but it got an English patch.

Also, Maplestory 2 just came out like last year. So yes, people do still play it.

Well the one on 3DS is different. It's a single player platformer/action RPG it seems.

Ha, fuck. Well Style Savvy is good then.

Have you played 7th Dragon 2020 on PSP? You should check those out. PSP has a really good emulator on PC so anyone can play it.

What's the deal with Nexus? I haven't been keeping up with Etrian Odyssey in a while. Is it just like every game combined into one or what?

What's a good grip for the 2DSXL?

Playing this right now since it got an English patch earlier this year. It's nice so far, hopefully it reaches insane heights by the end of it. Right now I feel it's copying too many story beats and character traits from the very first game (which I guess is the point). Still, I love how this game focuses only on one character, I was sick of the other 3DS Phoenix Wright games where they had to jump back and forth between so many characters each chapter.

ive only played a little bit of IV and V but yeah its pretty much an amalgamation of the previous games. it has most of the classes and a lot of older dungeons are included in the map it seems like since they reference dif lands and shit

Are they gonna translate the second?

It's the last Etrian Odyssey game for 3DS, basically an 'allstars' game of sorts where you're exploring all sorts of old labyrinths (with new floor layouts and all that stuff, of course) and have a bunch of classes from across all games to choose from. It's an excuse to reuse assets one more time while making one huge awesome game. Also has a few original bits.
youtube.com/watch?v=gIMOQnRsc-Q

Technically spoilers but not really. Sorry to say but it's pretty much just a whole game prequel. DGS2 is where the real meat of the story is. This is part of the reason why Japanese players were extremely disappointed with it when it released since they had no idea when or if the rest of the story was coming.

They're in the middle of it and it should take them less time than DGS1 did according to them.

Shit I wish I knew that before I started. I did find the pacing to be quite slow. Hope the translation comes out soon.

Super Metroid (wall jumping sucks)
Wario Land 4 (quicksaving now makes The Big Board go from infuriating RNG to a complete joke)

How do you get out of there?

Where do you get snes and gba cias that aren't full of shitty romhacks?

Don't use SNES cias, just use the emulator and download SNES roms from any old rom site like you used to.

In my experience the homebrew emulators don't run as well as Nintendo's VC

Bravely Default, and Senran Kagura to destress

For SNES they do. For GBA, yeah, you're better off using cias.

Just gonna bump this. It's not too bad but I feel like it would just enhance it.

I lucked out and found someone selling them used on Amazon Japan for about $60 and paid another $20 after all the shipping and fees from my forwarder added up. They're much worse normally.

This game only exists for people who desperately want to play Mario Maker but don't own a Wii U. It is inferior in every other sense.

Persona Q2
Probably the last good game ever on the 3DS.

Wish I could by decals for mine. But I got sweaty hands.

I'm enjoying the game of the year

Oracle of Ages

It's also the last game ever on the 3DS.

Will the physical edition be super hard to find?

should i play monster hunter on citra ? is online alive in 3ds?

How is Hyrule Warriors on the 3ds is it playable? I only played the original release on the WiiU and I read that you can play Ravio in the 3ds version and I want to try that.

Nah you underestimate how long portables get games. If the vita managed to get games years after it was stopped being produced then the still selling 3ds will also get a few.

Probably way easier than Yo-kai Watch 3

I just finished Q2 and smt4 and taking a break from strange journey since bullshit boss(you know the one) is busting my balls so instead I’m going to finish DeSu2

>DeSu2

I might start DeSu over again. I got to like day 5 or 6 on my first play thru.

God I wish I had your RPG stamina. My 3DS RPG backlog is growing because I can never play 2 in a row.

Why is soul hackers so loved
Also explain without spoiling
Definitely recommend them the first ones way better but the second one is great

Grew up autistically playing Pokémon till I got better taste so it’s been ingrained in me

the vita is still getting games in japan even(afaik)

2 is way better than 1

>Why is soul hackers so loved
It's the only 100% true to the classic SMT game on the system, it has awesome music and a cool 90s vibe. It's the most unique SMT you can play on the 3ds. It's not for everyone but that's okay.

Want to get Radiant Historia, but i have a copy of the original i never touched laying around here somewhere

Jesus Christ can anything sink that system for good? Because not even Sony can, apparently.

Fair, but HAS there been anything released since Q2? I don't see a single game on the upcoming list, not even some cheapo eshop game.

where can you get that color scheme for the buttons it looks so much better than the stock n2dsxl?

I have Soul Hackers sealed. I want to play it, but I really ought to complete a play thru of DeSu, or IV or IV Apoc. I get to about 70% and then start a new game.

It's fine if you're playing on New 3DS/2DS; the original 3DS, 3DS XL and 2DS have issues. Same with Fire Emblem Warriors.

iirc it lacks some of the options of the Wii U version, and doesn't let you play random peoples stages.

Soul hackers I’ve heard is fairly short

That's a pretty good line.

Europe.

I just didn't enjoy 1's plot and the characters sucked ass except for a few of the male ones and Mari. 2 drew me in more, the only thing I hated was Ronaldo.
Gameplay wise 2 is generally better as well.

If you haven't touched the original i would suggest just playing Perfect Chronology. While the new character designs aren't as good, the QoL stuff offers a lot of improvements (in typical Atlus fashion). However don't play in Append Mode, since it relegates all the additional content to New Game Plus so you have to play through it twice. The new stuff isn't really worth it to play through the game twice, so just do Perfect Mode where its included in the game as you progress.

Cristiano Ronaldo is in SMT?

Fat Ronaldo

TSUUUUUUUUUUUUU

no it's gay communist ronaldo

Not him but that seems like a really strange option for the game to include. Why would anyone want to play Append Mode in the first place?

I really want a 2DXL but I heard Nintendo did something to prevent the R4 from working.

Playing Flower, Sun, and Rain on an R4. It's a weirdly comfy game and feels like when Suda's humor really started to come into its own. It's kind of incomprehensible if you haven't played The Silver Case, but I'd also imagine that if you had no idea they were connected it'd be fucking crazy when you start seeing the connections.
Also if you play it don't force yourself to do the Lost & Found puzzles, all you get are some extra costumes. Just do the ones that interest you if you want.

Append mode's selling point is being able to experience the game as close as it was to the original DS version, so i would assume it's for fans of the original game.

Redpill me on this one with no Wii U memes. Is it worth playing for the levels made by Nintendo?

Virtual console games

Well the Wikipedia article for the game mentions the connection to that game in the first few sentences so I'd imagine it's not that big of a spoiler.

Always thought it was weird though how they localized that game on DS but not PS2. I wonder if that's just another case of SCEA being dumbfucks.

I never played Super Mario Maker 3ds.

Ahhh, like the classic modes in the EO Untold games. That makes more sense.

>if you haven't played The Silver Case
Completely untrue, the Sumio "thing" is just a nod to SC you don't need SC to understand the overall plot.

Keep in mind append still has all the QoL and balance changes, but lacks the Vault of Time and additional story materials outside NG+

Boutta get a non-XL New 3DS. Should I get based white or based black?

The PS2 was on its way out in 2008/2009 and the DS was king, probably just didn't make much business sense to localize a game from 2001. Plus the DS version has some additional bonus content. I'm surprised no one's taken the DS script and hacked it into the PS2 version yet though.
As for why it didn't get localized back in the early 2000s, 9/11 probably put an end to any plans for that.

user did you forget the entire second half of the game and the 24 Wards and Sayaka Baian's suicide being explicitly mentioned in the guidebook (albeit under slightly differently localized names)

I'm gonna change that dekinai into dekiru with the power of games for little girls. After this I'll try an RPG. I wanted something light on gameplay with plenty of easy reading.

DS had a very weak start it was a meme on Yea Forums for having no games the first game that wasn't just another turd and actually used the 3d in a original manner was The world ends with you as far as I remember.

Any games on the 3ds store worth getting?

Grass type is for little bitches and Totodile is best water starter. That should help limit your choices.

Picked up Ultra Sun to quench my Pokemon thirst until Sword and Shield.

I'm liking it more than the original Sun and Moon games.

Liberation Maiden and all of the other Guild01/02 games are super underrated
Mutant Mudds is best played on 3DS because the 3D effect is fucking great in it

my favorite games usually feel well crafted and like a constant flow of new and interesting ideas that really try to challenge you.
Some of my favorite games are Braid, Gorogoa, The Messenger (before it became a metroidvania), Golden Sun (not the most challenging but still), Pokemon Gen 3

I can't recommend picross 3d round 2 enough it is a great puzzle game. The first one for the ds is top notch as well

Honestly, not that great for 3DS games. It shines with GBA and SNES games though.

It would actually make sense if Ronaldo was in SMT, kind of like how it made sense that Dante is in SMT.

Q2 is essentially the final 3DS game to be released. Ever.

To be fair no Touhou game got ported to consoles until the Switch era.

I have both version of Yo-Kai Watch 2, but for whatever reason, I could not get into them. When Blasters was released, I was told to give it a try. I managed to find physical copies of both versions and bought them. Loved that damn game! So when Yo-Kai Watch 3 was released, I wanted to see if I could get into it. Managed to get a physical copy, the only one in my entire city.
Currently over 200+ hours into it and I'm still going. You can play this game for weeks on end and still not get everything. There is so much content, it's unreal.

Why do people say that site is shady? I've literally never had a problem with it. Don't even get any ads because I use three adblockers.

Been playing through the fan-translation of this.
I'm not quite done yet, but so far, it's probably the best of the next-gen Ace Attorney games. It definitely *looks* the best. They play around with the 3D space and have a lot more camera angles and multiple characters on screen than the other games, which really helps the world and characters feel *real*, and I still have yet to see them actually do anything meaningful with it, but just having more than one character on the witness stand at a time feels like a genuine innovation that feels like a genuine innovation and not just a gimmick, like sensing emotion or the reflection pool.

At the same time, I can totally see why they didn't try to localize it officially; there's a lot in the way of Japanese stuff that *HAS* to be Japanese, can can't be "Eat your hamburgers Apollo"ed away

I dunno why they didn't just localize it but keep the Japanese stuff intact, it's not like there's not an audience for that. I mean this is literally the company that made Okami, they should know. But whatever, what's important is that it's translated now.

Hey it's dan green EO man
I still can't name my guilds

The third game has strategies that 2 did not. For instance, in a battle, you have an area with several squares laid out on both sides. And your characters and the enemy can move on those squares. Some attacks only affect one square or several. You can move to avoid attacks, but each Yo-kai has a different time limit where they can move again. This means you may have to move when a boss is about to attack so you don't take damage. But the enemy can do this as well meaning you have to watch them before you attack and if they move, move with them and attack because they have time limits before they can move again as well.
The strategy as well as the story of 3 kept pulling me back in and I am thoroughly hooked.

not having $8 to spend as an adult doesn't sound very fun

>At the same time, I can totally see why they didn't try to localize it officially; there's a lot in the way of Japanese stuff that *HAS* to be Japanese, can can't be "Eat your hamburgers Apollo"ed away
I can't believe the amount of people who think they didn't bring it over because it's too Japanese to localize. All they have to do is handwave it as Phoenix having a Japanese ancestor and that's it it's not an issue. It wasn't brought over because they would have had to fully commit to two games, plus games with Phoenix as a protagonist don't sell as well.

Also, if you're a fan of the multiple people on the witness stand gimmick, play Layton vs Wright if you haven't.

Dragon Quest 5 so far, think i'm near the end. What should i try after it?

not that guy either but 3's battle system uses a 3x3 grid instead of a wheel, so you can put your healers behind tanks. You can also move them around to avoid supers instead of just having to stand there like a bitch and take it

What's up with the name Southern? I don't get that one.

The game revolves a lot around the interfacing of eastern and western cultures, and how there can be conflict where two people of almost polar opposite cultures interact. It's a very *Japanese* game in that regard, in that it requires the players know a lot about Japanese culture in a way that nobody except a native-born or ultra-turbo-weeb would know.
And there's a few cases and characters so far where a major point of the case is whether or not a given character can speak Japanese, and the way the translation team got around that was neat, but hardly elegant or professional.

Also the game has actual Sherlock Holmes characters in it, and I'm pretty sure a lot of the decision to localize the game hinged on how much of a headache the Doyle estate would cause Capcom, and whether or not it'd be worth it in the end. Evidence suggests the answer is not.

AAI1 works far better as a standalone game than DGS1, which is pretty much entirely a prologue for DGS2.

The newest one, I would assume.

And if you have any further questions, you should check out the /hbg/ on /vg/, there's guides and shit on there that should help

I think the reason some of them are really easy is because some of the mini-puzzles (like match the sides of this d20) are repeated. If you beat the game, there is some evidence of why they decided to do that from a thematic perspective (and arguably story perspective). Some of the overall room puzzles in ZTD are just as clever and tricky as VLR and 999, but those repeating puzzles aren't terribly engaging. Also, maybe if you already played 999 and VLR, your brain is already kind of used to the solving room puzzles the third time around so it might feel less challenging.

Izuna Legend of the Unemployed Ninja. I got tired of playing the 3DS Mario games since I'm not much of a platformer fan.

I'm thinking of selling my old brick 2DS, since I can probably jack up the price a bit for some clueless retard since it's hacked and getting a 2DS XL. Would it be advisable to sell it first then get the XL or try to get them both on hand at once before I sell it? I was just going to backup all my stuff to put on a new SD card or can I not do that?

>Izuna Legend of the Unemployed Ninja
You're the only other person I know who is aware this game even exists. Never hear anyone talk about it for some reason. Which is weird because she is really hot and this board loves waifus.

Didn't they not localize it because of the use of Sherlock Holmes and how the family of Arthur Conan Doyle was a bunch of dicks about his state of copyright?

If that's the case, do they not care what the fuck Japan does with it at all then?

Most likely. Also nice trips

Copywrite laws are weird.
International copywrite laws are even weirder

Thank god i installed as many games as i could before freeshop got shutdown

I'm slowly rebuilding my 3DS library after a horrible accident.

Trying to build a collection of definitive 3DS titles. Like, if, in 30 years, Nintendo was to make a 3DS Classic Mini, what games would be on it?

This is what I've got so far. (Plus a few games I've been meaning to play through)
The only things I think I'm missing so far are the Bravely games and SM3DL. What am I missing?

Attached: HNI_0002.jpg (320x240, 72K)

Huh.

Every Etrian Odyssey game, obviously.

>Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy+
>Codename STEAM (it's actually pretty good)
>NSMB2 (it's not that great but it's still Mario)

I was thinking about those.
*EVERY* one? I've never actually played them, is there a definitive one or two?

I've never played the EO games, should I play the remakes or the DS originals?

Remakes on Classic mode, though for a first rodeo EOIV should be more welcoming than the remakes

The remakes literally contain the originals inside them so there's no reason not to play them.

RF4.

Put Shovel Knight on there. It's multiplat, sure, but it's a definitive game on any system.

ProjectXZone and ProjectXZone2 are good.
In terms of Nintendo 3DS stuff, probably Pokemon too. You have X/Y, ORAS, SM and USUM.

It was Black Friday 2016. The only day Nintendo decided to have these based models on sale for NA

so NA N3ds's are really rare then? Glad I got ahold of mine then

Been replaying SMTIV. Hoping I don't fuck up the neutral route like I did the first time I played it.

>I really need to go finish Fire Emblem Awakening before Three Houses comes out.
You don't really NEED to do this, it's not like they're connected in plot or anything. And if you're just trying to play the old FEs before a new one you've also got Fates (technically three games) and Echoes waiting for you.

Anyone know where I can get decent themes? Maybe a collection of official themes?

>kotori
based af

I just broke another one

You can get them for that price too at gamestop, white or black. It's where I got mine and it looks brand new.

Back when freeShop worked you could download a big package of official themes, which was actually a really bad idea because it gives you more themes than the 3DS can hold so I had to spend something like 30 minutes deleting the themes one by one until I was under the limit, because they deleted very slowly, and worse I did this a second time on accident once so I had to do the whole thing all over again, though on the bright side there were some themes I hadn't gotten the first time. There's also a couple Splatoon themes which I find odd since Splatoon has never been on 3DS. Some of them are pretty nice themes though. This doesn't really help you, I just wanted to share my story.

>not that guy either but 3's battle system uses a 3x3 grid instead of a wheel, so you can put your healers behind tanks. You can also move them around to avoid supers instead of just having to stand there like a bitch and take it
That sounds a lot like Ni no Kuni DS’ movement grid. How does turn progression work?

Whoa, what? What did they do to Lillie?

The combat is more or less auto, but you still have to move them around to avoid attacks, purify them to remove status ailments, and charge soultimates, so you're not just watching everything happen while you do nothing. There's books that more or less change "natures" so you can make them primarily focus on one kind of action.
There's a fast forward button, but because things happen generally in real time, having it on fast all the time isn't the best idea, since you might want to slow it down to normal to have more time for something

Kid icarus, metroid ,

There's a 3DS version of Atelier Rorona with really cute chibi models but nobody ever talks about it because it's Japan only.

Is there a CIA for the Japanese release? I can't find a clean link.

Play through Metroid again, I want a sequel for the 3ds ;_;

No reason to, if you want portable Atelier then you get a Vita.

Or a Switch.

Your standard black but it’s starting to chip off. Ordered another cheap one from a cheap site, I wonder how it’s going to turn up

Animal Crossing New Leaf, I started a new town shortly after the New Horizons reveal trailer.

Or that. But the Vita has 10 Atelier games and the Switch has 5, and the Vita is cheaper so its just the better Atelier machine right now.

New plates came in, I'm happy. Playing Project Cross Zone 2 and it's pretty good.

What concoction of romhacks you got?

And it was a remake.

>Nintendo never rereleased Virtual Boy games on the eShop
>there's no good working VB emulator on 3DS
What a wasted opportunity

The default black and blue n2ds

How would that fit? The Virtual Boy used VR, not 3D. If anything the Switch would be the place to do that since Switch has VR capability.

Just hack it? Unless you have a tiny sd card and don't want to buy a new one or play a fuckton of non-DSiware DS games there's no point in not doing that

Been thinking of getting a new one since my old one got bricked, is the new 2ds xl good and comfortable? I always wanted the metallic blue one but it's a lot more expensive since the NTSC-U versions were only sold in asia and the 2ds xl is cheaper and looks good.

They're pretty cool, there's a 100 of them and they have two side goals each. Not being able to lookup levels is fucking trash though since all the ones you find randomly are autoplay or instawins

You've NEVER had a Nintendo console before? Man, start with Super Mario Bros. for NES.

a link between worlds. are Phantom hourglass and spirit tracks worth playing?

Spirit Tracks yes, Phantom Hourglass no.

I mean, I had a Dendy when I was little, so I have plaued the NES ones

Phantom Hourglass is okay if you pretend it's not Zelda. Spirit Tracks is just bad, and the duets are borderline impossible with a 3ds mic

Play Super Metroid faggot

Any recommendations for games with elves? I love elves.

I've never played chrono trigger before. Is the DS version on the 3ds a good way to play it?

Ah, in that case play the Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country games, as well as Mario 64. Also you can't play it on your 3DS but download an emulator and play Banjo-Kazooie at some point.

Yeah, it's fine. It even comes with new content that leads into Chrono Cross. Some people don't like the translation but that's mainly nostalgia.

I just started SMT IV a few days ago. It's pretty fun so far

Probably chaos because it sounds more fun. I'm not super far in yet though so I haven't considered it too much

If you can emulate, the SNES version will give you a native 240p image vs a slightly blurry 192p image blown up. The DS version is fine, though the new content isn't anything to write home about.

Which one has the most elves? Also, can you marry elves?

HEY!

I think 4 does, and yes you can marry all the girls and date them in 4 as well. 4 special comes out next month on the switch so if you don't want to play it twice just get 3 (ds game) and play that in the meantime for 4S to come out

>4 special comes out next month on the switch
In Japanese, and without enough extra content to justify buying it over playing the 3DS version.

You can pirate Switch games, you know.

I assume it won't be long before it hits the US since the trailer was in english. But there will probably be a fair amount of QoL improvements that'll make it better (hoping for a nicer RNG)

Yeah, I do.

I have over a hundred hours in my main file of Kid Icarus Uprising, beat it 101%, started a new file now to take a break from EO and only now i've found out you can reflect shots during flight stages by using the barrel roll, what the fuck!

Then why did you say buying?

>101%
Why do games have to lie like this? If you can't count on 100% to be full completion, what can you count on?

Because someone having the ability to pirate on the Switch is up in the air instead of a guarantee like with older systems like the 3DS, so I default to assuming they'll be purchasing their games.

Well, you are correct.

haven't tried it personally, so who knows.

Mario kart 7, sonic boom fire and ice, dragon ball extreme butoden, Senran Kagura Burst, and smash bros for 3ds.

Return of Samus remake. It's okay, but not great. Fighting the same three boss fights over and over again is not fun and they could have just made most of the metroid encounters non respawning mini bosses if they didn't have the means or ability to make them all little more unique. Parrying just sucks as a mechanic that slows down exploration due to how repetitive it is and how the enemies control the flow of the encounter. Lastly, they went overboard with uninspired progression blocks the encourage the worst kind of backtracking and puzzle solving to get missile and energy tank power ups. Everything you get feels more like a key in Resident Evil.

The lack of story and characterization is great as the gameplay is hardly ever intruded upon and the art style isn't overly offensive though it still isn't that great. Given with what they had to work with as far as remakes go, they definitely put effort into trying to make something out of a very dated gameboy game. Like I said, it okay but still not as great as Zero Mission and Super

You ARE aware of the whole hyper-repetitive portion of the later game, right? If you're not able to stomach that, would go with SMT or FE instead since my BD run took me almost 80 hours to get the true ending.

No, I wasn't aware, actually. I've heard nothing but praise.
Is the combat interesting enough to make it bearable?

>Is the combat interesting enough to make it bearable?
Assuming you can get some enjoyment out of experimenting your way into horrifically broken cheese builds, yes. It will also make any completionist stuff for trying to see as much of the story as possible go down a lot smoother.

>Is the combat interesting enough to make it bearable?

Meh, at least grinding can be done in an instant since you can put the game at like 8x speed.

The game does get weird which is something I wasn't used to when I played BD back in the day and I thought it was interesting but now I'm kinda whatever about it, it tried I suppose.

FE Birthright. I don't think i like this game very much but i cant stop playing. Played on casual because dont have much experience with the series and its just too dumb easy to enjoy plus i get anxious about which units i use. Also like half of my army is people on pegasuses with naginatas. Im glad that this game allows you to make an army of horseback exclusives cuz they're always the strongest. Also i hate the baby mechanic and im glad they went away with it.

I finally graduated a few days ago but because of the heat wave where I am I don't even dare turning on my 3DS and damaging it. I plan on playing SMT4A, I started playing it for the first time in late 2017 and because of college and work I never finished it. I'm near the end when Asahi's gets killed by the big snake and I plan on completing the game this summer, as well as FE Echoes and maybe Pokemon Ultra Moon.

>Also i hate the baby mechanic and im glad they went away with it
There are baby units, they're just not connected to the plot at all so you can safely pretend they don't exist. But if you want to 100% complete the game you'll have to get them too.

Bump!

>I'm near the end when Asahi's gets killed by the big snake

I never understood that option, as it removes any last bit of challenge to an already pretty easy game.
Why would anyone play it on auto where you cant die and cant lose?

aaaa fuck, i thought they were gone completely

Really nice. Favourite thing to emulate in it. I use a Virtual Console Injector made by some Argentine from the GBA forums, so games look all official and use Nintendo's emulation. Nintendo is full of shit when they say they didn't like GBA emulation, the only "issues" are no save states and sleep mode, which are non-issues for me.

I recommend you hack the fuck out of that 2DS, pronto, and play whatever the fuck you'd like.

Man, the series is fucked.

Well ok, I'm "near" the end. I know the very last dungeon is long and boring but I'm still more than halfway through the game.

You don't need to finish all of them before Apocalypse. All you need to know is that in the Neutral route Flynn revives Masakado to remove the ceiling over Tokyo. I would just move on to Apocalypse. It's a better game.

Technically EO2 and EO2 Untold are completely different games. The two dungeons share almost no similarities other than the tilesets.

Rule of thumb in Etrian is you gotta keep constantly using skills otherwise you just won't be efficient, get some skills you can use but don't upgrade them so much to the point they start costing more TP and you run out of juice too fast, that's when you get some mastery going, but of course it all depends on the class and what you plan to do with it, not every tool of a class should be used, specialization trumps over jack of all trades
