For everyone wondering why MM3DS took four years to make, check out this thread over on NeoGAF for side-by-side comparison screens between the 3DS version and the N64. It basically looks like a whole new game, really. The Chateau Romani pictures are particularity striking. Majora's Mask was almost worth playing for the sheer spectacle alone and this is looking to be the definitive version. The soundtrack was also gorgeous and I really hope they keep it intact.

ChaosArgate posted:The GBA stuff ran in a backassed compatibility mode that disabled everything except the system call to bring the system out of GBA mode So Smash Bros.? Got some questions on system transfers and SD cards and junk. 1. should I do a system transfer then swap SD cards? 2. do we know if there's an upper limit on the size of micro SDs for the New 3DS? 3. any particular brands I should be wary of?

Elite Forces is a good game. Now that the EU wait for Shovel Knight is over (and the game already beaten because yeah that was not long), I'll just sit here and hope for Azure Striker Gunvolt and/or Shantae and the Pirate's Curse every week.

Seagull posted:So Smash Bros.? 1. There's a ton of motion blur. 2. There's no restore points. 3. The system is unable to go into sleep mode. 4. The screen is very dark. Some of the games are fairly unplayable, in my opinion. Like they don't run slowly or anything they just kinda look terrible and I can't stand playing them. There's no way Nintendo could ever get away with selling those games as they are.

What are the odds on Gamestop letting me do a system transfer at the counter during the process of me trading in my 3DSXL for a New 3DS XL in a few months?

So far from walking around today I have 5 street pass people in my ds. I've got a level of fire emblem open so I can't load up the plaza to see what's happening. I took a look and found that there are some street pass relay hubs on my way home. Is it worth spending a minute or two standing around each on my way home? Do people carry their ds's around a lot? is there a point really? If it helps for fire emblem stuff, great. edit: apparently I need to enable it within fire emblem! I don't know if I've done that. How often does the ds do a streetpass 'ping'? I can't imagine the wifi is on all the time. redreader fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Nov 10, 2014 |

I've heard some locations are pretty good about letting you do transfers in-store, but the SD card shenanigans might complicate the process.

Worse comes to worse, I have to set aside an extra $80 or whatever to pay for the console, then trade in the old one after I finish the transfer to use my store credit on other stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if we get New 3DS the same general time frame as Monster Hunter 4.

There've already been others in both 3DS and 3DSXL formats, too. I could've gotten the new one, but I opted for the red Smash Bros. New LL instead. (It was just released on the 9th in Japan, and it should be here hopefully by the end of the week, yay.)

So there aren't any technical reasons why the 3DS can't run GBA well right? Especially if the development is in-house, I'd imagine we'd get a pretty good emulated experience, just as Sony did with their PS1 emulator on PSP. Was the current lovely implementation done in this manner simply because  ?As others said, I admttedly would totally upgrade to a New3DS if it ran GBA and SNES VC and I just bought an XL a few months back. Then I would probably buy the 4DS or whatever we get as the real successor as well. Nintendo knows me too well..

They had the GBA emulator perfected but they couldn't package any roms into it because the website they got them from requested they delete them after 24 hours.

I guess what I meant by my question is that a 3DS has enough horsepower to theoretically run GBA and SNES emus competently, right? I suppose we'll get an answer to this as the homebrew scene continues to mature.

KingSlime posted:I guess what I meant by my question is that a 3DS has enough horsepower to theoretically run GBA and SNES emus competently, right? Depends on your definition of competently. Some of the less demanding games? Sure, but people don't want to just play Super Mario World 1. Emulation is mostly done on the CPU and, as it turns out the 3DS, between its operating system and the Streetpass stuff, doesn't seem to have enough juice to do a whole lot. And, yes, the only flash cart with playable SNES/GBA emulation requires a built-in CPU of its own making. Of course we are talking the old DS, but still, I imagine the VC will expand with the Nu3DS. It's free money.

My roommate and I just went to our local hobunk town's Starbucks the other day with our DS's and loaded up. She got 10, I got 6.  Also, she gets me like 3-4 times a day, and one of our apartment complex neighbors that I almost never get. I'll never understand how this poo poo works.

Smartphones have been commonplace for half a goddamn decade and you come into a thread like you discovered the Wu Tang Secret of playing games on your phone. People don't game on goddamn smart phones because the experience loving sucks if you're using the touch screen controls, and carting a drat controller and mounting hardware makes your phone about as portable as a SNES in the first place so that's no better. Also you could buy like 7 super nintendos for the price you'd pay to do that. Nobody in their right mind considers a smartphone emulator a proper replacement for an actual game system. EDIT: Smartphones are great things which is why pretty much everyone already owns one. They're just not great for playing games on with the exception of games that were specifically designed for smartphones, such as the incredibly popular Angry Birds and etc.

I don't know, I think my GameKlip is kinda slick and pretty portable. I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, but I am saying your opinion is an opinion. Check out this cool video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwjBWDhm9xU Also forum posts shouldn't upset you this much. EDIT: Finally your edit is wrong about smartphones sucking for gaming, here is another video showing how awesome classic games can be on a phone with a controller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYHSxpckmu0 We can go back to talking about 3DS now if you'd like.
