I just want all the portable dungeon crawlers. Give me more first person, Wizardry/Dungeon Master style goodness and I will eat that business up. Maybe I should pick up Soul Hackers...

I'm consistently getting Streetpass stuff for Super Mario 3D Land but nothing shows up in Streetpass Mii Plaza. Any reason why this is happening?

That person has Streetpass turned on for Super Mario 3D Land and not the Mii Plaza. Edit: Or if this is all the time, maybe your Mii Plaza has Streetpass turned off?

I've gotten like 2 Mii Plaza guys and 4 or 5 Mario 3D Land levels. For all I know all the Mario ones are from the same guy and we ride the same bus or something.

Rexroom posted:Not necessarily. From what I've read, Nintendo requires developers to 1) have registered themselves as a company 2) sign a NDA (which is normal, I guess) and 3) have already released a game on some platform. The last requirement is just to cut off "I R GAEM DEVELOPR 2" newbies, so the people behind Legend of Grimrock could theoretically publish. Although: Grimrock takes it's influences from Dungeon Master rather than Wizardry, with DM having a sense of real-time immediacy with a fully interactive play area, compared to Wizardry's turn-based static game play. However I have reservations how anyone could combine the fully interactive game play with the 3D screen. Still, a Grimrock on the 3DS would certainly be an immediate purchase for me. I'm very much aware of the difference between the two, I was just putting the esoteric nature (for the 3DS) of the genre into perspective. As far as porting goes though I'm not sure what you're worried about. There were actually a few clones for the GBA and pre-3DS that were fine. Mazes of Fate comes to mind. On the GBA it played pretty much as you'd expect by using the L/R buttons to crab walk, and bringing up a cursor to cycle through stuff to interact with for putting stones onto tiles and picking up treasures and searching. When they ported it to the DS they simply had the main action be on the bottom screen, with the top screen having all your map/data/detail art of what you're looking at/etc. You could still pause the game and use the touch screen if you wanted though, and they even had an option for real time movement to have it play like Deathkeep/Ultima Underworld if you wanted too which was pretty impressive as it didn't wreck the balance of the game at all. When doing that you'd just use the touch screen to look around/steer your character like in Dementium, Deep Labyrinth, Fighting Fantasy, etc. I mean it just feels like a genre that would do well on a handheld with two screens for obvious reasons so it surprises me that there aren't more.

Is Liberation Maiden any good? It's on sale and looks fun. Seems very Kid Icarus-esque which can't be a bad thing. I'm a lefty though, so can I customize the controls?

Minidust posted:Have there been any inklings of Doom/Doom II showing up on 3DS? I want the straight-up 1994 graphics (adapted for widescreen like in PC mods), but with a 3D effect. Controls would fine since you couldn't look up and down in those games anyway. They could even throw in a crazy VR/AR control mode where the left/right turning is gyro based. When the DS was hacked a port of Doom was one of the first things out for homebrew. One can only hope 3DS flash carts eventually happen.

It'd be a surprisingly practical realization of some early-'90s Virtual Reality concepts.

I've been reading a bunch of Fire Emblem LPs to figure out what the hullabaloo is over FE:A. Now I want one. And a 3DS XL. And Kid Icarus. My wallet  One question before I drop the dollars though, is there anything else good out there for the system in terms of JRPGs? I really haven't kept up, and it's been a long time since I've even seen one. also I want MH3U despite having it for the WiiU already, wtf is wrong with me

Eruonen posted:How is Code of Princess? I noticed it finally hit EU stores (might have done so a while ago, I haven't looked at the eStore for a while). Code of Princess is a tough one. The game is technically not that great. I mean it LOOKS great but it runs very slowly, with lots of slowdown any time you're doing anything more than standing still. The story is stupid crap but it is a campy stupid crap. The story presentation will very much will scratch the nineties anime itch if you were a fan of stuff like The Slayers or Those who Hunt Elves. I wouldn't spend more than $20 on it though.

So, tell me about the Nyko Power Grip. My biggest question is: do I need to pull off the back panel of the 3DS to use it, or what? I've heard plenty of praise for them, but I hate the idea of possibly losing a piece of my original 3DS in case something happens and I need to return it. Also, how bulky does it make the system? Too much to fit into a standard carrying case?

Got a used game today (Pinball Hall of Fame) and as far as I can tell there is no way to erase the save data. Can that be right? Is it even allowed? I've checked the erase methods in other games and nothing seems to work for this. At least GameStop's return policies are pretty easygoing

Sonic 1 is coming to the eShop as a 3D classics title. It includes faux-CRT visual modes, optional spindashing, save-states and a choice of Mega Drive 1 or Mega Drive 2 sound emulation. That's.. a surprising amount of care.

It's a faithful and slightly buggy remake of a game from 1997 that was kind of old-school even for the time it was made; there are a few new features added in the 3DS version, but it still plays like a game from 20 years ago. I liked it, but I've got a pretty high tolerance for that sort of thing. You do unlock the ability to save anywhere fairly early on in the game, so you can at least avoid losing hours of progress to an unlucky ambush. If you don't mind dungeon crawlers, go for it.

I played Unchained Blades on the PSP and it is not even worth mentioning really with all the other stuff available soon. Personally on the 3DS I'm waiting to play: SMT4 Devil Survivor 2 remake whenever it comes Pokemon Not really too interested in Soul Hackers after taking a closer look at it. I love Atlus RPGs but I don't have a high tolerance for the awkwardness of mid 90s JRPGs anymore. Also need to play EO4 but I don't want to be burnt out by the time SMT rolls around in a couple of months.

I just got an XL and the top screen has rather visible horizontal lines that disappear when I turn 3D on. Now that I know what to look for, I think I can make out the same behavior in the regular unit (though it's much harder to notice, probably on account of the smaller screen). Are those lines "normal," or did I get a lemon?

Those of us who are still waiting for PSO2's English version to release would disagree  I thought they were stopping the 3D classics after they hit their pre-determined limit. I wonder what changed or if Nintendo is sticking to that while allowing other companies to release them if they want.

Nintendo just doesn't want to do more because it's a ton of work to basically recreate an entire game just to add a gimmick that, even if it's cool, didn't affect sales much beyond just selling a VC version would. I'm sure they don't care if other companies want to do it at their own cost.

I haven't bought a new handheld since the Game Boy Colour and have been eyeing a 3DS XL, but mainly because I have an income and want to spend. I'm not really drawn to any particular killer app per se, but I'm interested in: Luigi's Mansion 2 Super Mario 3D Land NSMB2 Starfox 64 3D Ocarina of Time Mario Kart 7 Paper Mario Sticker Star And some DS games like Phoenix Wright, Layton, Ghost Trick Those games combined will cost way more than the system so I'm gonna have to go through a bit of a process of elimination. Totally forgot the 3DS could act as an MP3 player until today as well and I could get some use out of that. Thread, encourage me to spend. Or not.
