Has anyone tried that Urban Trial Freestyle game on the eShop? I'd love to play a decent Trials kind of game on a handheld!

Hace posted:I must be really really terrible at Advance Wars because Fire Emblem is leaps and bounds easier for me. I always considered FE to be much harder since I always was worried that if I lost any characters that I'd lose some amazing storyline, whereas with AW, most units were highly disposable and replaceable, so if I lost half of my troops in one fight, it didn't matter too much since I usually got more in the next one and I could always make more. Also you don't lose storyline when a footsoldier dies  .

Yeah and in most of the Advance Wars missions you get factories to build new units so you can win through attrition eventually. Each Advance Wars had it's share of bullshit missions but nothing like the stuff FE has sometimes.

Wasn't every mission in every Advance Wars ever full of nothing but chess piece soulless canon fodder units that you could use however you saw fit as long as you won the battle, with no bearing on anything beyond the ranking you received upon completion?

Pretty much. In fact the game was SO chess like I remember looking up turn by turn guides for the last mission in Dual Strike because unless you did it PERFECTLY you were guaranteed to lose. Also the AI always went for APCs so you could distract it pretty easily.

I really always felt like Advance Wars required a lot more strategy than Fire Emblem. Managing your money, which units to create etc. I like Fire Emblem better overall but I've always thought of it as a lot easier/more simplistic than AW. (Especially once you get into the Hard Campaign modes, those are brutal)

Couldn't find any 3DS footage sadly, here's Giant Bomb's quick look on PS3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weeTyDapPl8 edit- There are some 3D screenshots on the eshop and they look pretty nice, release date 27/06 with a discount price for the first week. .TakaM fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Jun 23, 2013 |

This is the final mission in Dual Strike. Are you sure you don't mean the second to last level or fake-out final level?

Got my screen protector in, Managed to get it on with only one bubble forming that was easy to remove. Now I just need to wait for the case I ordered to come in and I'll be set.

Holy poo poo I just got my first streetpass out in the wild after having this thing for over 2 months. He had a cool glowy skull hat and a poo poo load of puzzle pieces including a bunch of pink ones. I clearly need to figure out where this guy hangs out. Weirdest part: His mii name and my real name are the same.

I work with 3 other folks that have a 3ds. None of them have any new pieces for me, I like to think I'm some kind of Super Hero that goes around spreading all of my rare puzzle pieces.

Or you do get streetpasses, but no one freaking has a white shirt, not even heroes I buy with coins, so everyone gets to the dark room and runs away.

In every DKC game, you can roll off an edge and jump in mid-air to cancel out of it. I think Cranky will ramdomly mention it in DKCR. I know he does at some point in the franchise.

And I also figured out that when you roll with diddy you can just keep rolling by spamming the button. This game is really good so far. I bought it when it shipped but only played for like an hour then got sidetracked. I like that when you die a bunch (happens to me often) you get the option of doing the cheat mode instead of just automatically getting super powers like in 3D land. Yes game I know I've died 8 times on the mine carts but I still want to beat it myself thank you. The graphics and 3d are drat good too. Some of the best I've seen on the 3ds. Glad I have the xl though, I imagine it would be kind of hard to see certain things on a regular 3ds.

DK is actually quite challenging early on too. I sure died a bunch on that level with the wave. Mario Land I didn't start losing lots of lives until the special stages.

I don't know. Even with the uber raccoon suit, you could still die to lava pits, missing jumps, etc.

.TakaM posted:Haven't tried it, but it looks like it might be the new best eshop game. Oh, I didn't read right! I thought it was out already. It definitely looks great, but with graphics like that I could imagine bad frame rates on the 3DS. Hope that's not the case and that there's online track sharing.

Regarding the new streetpass games - do they all have hats which are unique to them? Or if I only buy one of them, will I be able to able to eventually access all the new hats? There's no way I'm spending £15 on all of them, but I might consider getting one of them.

I know there was a system update that hit about 2-3 days ago, I bought/downloaded MMVI, and haven't touched it since. Is there a 3rd streetpass game now?

How do streetpasses work with regards to animal crossing? Does the game have to be the current game being played while your system is in your pocket to get stuff for it? What kind of things do you get?

Well actually, there's a 3rd,4th,5th and 6th! They are all paid DLC with new hats (and costumes I think?). There are also some more puzzle panels for games such as xenoblade and NSMBU, which are free as usual. Doug Dinsdale provided a good description of all the new games in the e-shop thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3518750&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=42#post416618514

What kind of things do you get? You just have to activate StreetPass in AC and then don't need it in your 3DS anymore for StreetPassing. You exchange your houses as model homes with other players, so you can visit their homes and order their furniture.

There's no way I'm spending £15 on all of them, but I might consider getting one of them. Each of the new games has their own achievements like the old Streetpass stuff does, but for each of the new achievements you complete you earn one plaza ticket which can be exchanged for one hat at the ticket exchange (which has four hats available to buy that changes daily). I haven't been through and done the maths, but each game seems to have around 22 achievements and by looking at all the new ???'s listed on the hat select list I could easily see there being 88 new hats (there isn't anything else to use plaza tickets on so I don't see why they would give you more than you can use, and not giving you enough to get all hats would be a dick move). So if you bought only one of the games the only hats you would miss are the ones for buying the other games and you have the chance to get all the other hats, but you'd only be able to get a quarter or so of them.

I am finally able to get a 3DS this week, after waiting 3 months. If it on sale ANYWHERE though? It seems like constantly you can get it somewhere for $20 off. I've checked all the usual suspects, Toys R Us, Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, online and haven't seen any sales, but I'm wondering if these are the kind of sales you only get in a mailer or in a newspaper insert. This is all for the US of course. Also can anyone recommend me an SD card where I'll get the best price. I'll be downloading the vast majority of games I play so I'll want a big one. Finally, will the 3DS automatically register when I link the eShop to my Club Nintendo account? I would like to wait until July before registering it to make sure all those coins go to the next year, but I'll also want to link the eShop right away.

I guess I'm missing the boat on all the Resident Evil hype on 3DS. Playing the demo just felt sluggish and not fun. Gameplay videos show enemies having life bars and other stuff, I guess that's just in Raid mode?
