Anyone else with STEAM reach chapter 11? I can't quite figure out what it wants me to do and I'm loving terrible at missions like this. It's the one where the abomination is trying to reach a goal and you have to slow it down for 10 turns. My unit on the right side has like 20 grenadiers fall on him while my other units are running around doing a whole lot of nothing.

noirstronaut posted:Does anyone else actually understand resolution between DS mode and 3DS mode? Basically, Shantae is on the eShop, the 3DS Virtual Console. However, it can be played in DS Mode as well and I'm wondering what the differences, in visual quality, would be. Those are different games. Shantae for GBC is a 3DS game via the VC. Shantae: RIsky's Revenge is a DSiWare game that runs in DS mode. Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is a 3DS eShop game that runs in 3DS mode. There's a 3DS VERSION of Risky's Revenge coming out soon, to make things more confusing for weird people who can't read.

If GBC one, playing at native resolution makes for an incredibly tiny screen, even on an XL, so don't do that and just play it blown up, it's slightly blurred by you can't tell. If DSi one, you can play on either resolution just fine, the full screen is again, a little blurry, but it's barely noticeable and the game's so colourful that you'll only see it if you're looking for it.

Does the N/3DS use more battery power when the 3D is on? It very much seems that way. I can solve Daily Puzzles for like 4 hours on Layton with the 3D off and still have half a charge, or I can turn the 3D on just a little bit for the main story of the same game and 2 hours will take half my bars. Buh?

ChaosArgate posted:Yes, the system uses more power when 3D is on. Also, keep in mind there is now power throttle to the 3D switch; whether it's on weak or strong, it'll drain the same since the system renders the image twice regardless of 3D angle.

As an addendum, eye-tracking doesn't seem to put much (if any) additional strain on the battery.

After having my Nintendo DS stolen in late 2009 (  ) I finally got back into Nintendo handhelds with a New 3DSXL  I picked up two games to start: Theatrhythm Curtain Call, and Link Between Worlds. Were there any major DS games I missed in 2010 and beyond that are worth picking up? I might snag a flash cart for the DS, since that won't ban my console.

Ghost Trick: Great, great puzzle/visual novel/adventure game by the guy who wrote the Ace Attorney series. Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Speaking of which. This actually just got a translation patch so it's kind of a different animal, but it still owns and is one of the best titles in the franchise. I guess kind of useless if you haven't played the previous games yet though. Radiant Historia: Really unique and somewhat cleverly designed time-travel JRPG by Atlus.

Apply nail polish remover directly to the superglue and it will dissolve and loosen the bond.

I really want to like the Ace Attorney games but I feel like I always do everything wrong. Its bad enough I'd probably have to just play the game with Gamefaqs open; may as well just watch a lets play at that point.

Maybe I just dreamt it. Anyway, is Power of Illusions good? I have a $5 Amazon gift card and that can make the game $3. However, if I can find someone who wants to buy this gift card for $5 flat, I can get Pirate's Curse for 33% off.

Did they add that feature to the Trilogy remake? Phoenix v. Layton also lets you save anytime but you have to be really incredibly stupid to mess up in that one.

Nate RFB posted:I think you have this a little backwards. You could always save at any time in any DS/3DS Ace Attorney game with the exception of Layton vs. Wright where you can only save at checkpoints. Huh, I could have sworn I saved in the middle of the last trial in Layton v. Wright but I guess it was a mid-trial checkpoint. I also feel very stupid because I know in at least one of the original Phoenix trilogy I failed a case and had to do the whole thing over, so either I didn't know I could save at any time or I chose not to save. :\

The problem with Ace attorney is that you have to understand Ace Attorney logic to get anywhere sometimes. You may know the murderer's finger is inside the vase in evidence, but you need to figure out which inconsequential question/press combo will lead the judge to talk about how in his day they wore onions on their belts so that Edgeworth bumps into the vase and shatters it. It's possible I just hate adventure games.

I never really felt bad when I looked something up for an AA game because it almost always made me go "WHAT? Bullshit!!" when I saw the answer. They're still fun games.

Monkey Fracas posted:I never really felt bad when I looked something up for an AA game because it almost always made me go "WHAT? Bullshit!!" when I saw the answer. Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy is doing this to me. There was a puzzle about a gift entrapped in ice and the goal was to get it out. It gave you how much ice a certain amount of warm water melted and when you do the math, the answer is like 500 or something, but they only give you 2 digits to write your answer. I looked up the answer and it was zero. You can just leave it out by the fire to let it melt. It's bullshit because 95% of the puzzles are equally ridiculous and implausible situations, but the answer can be worked out, so there's no good indication of what direction you need to go in any given puzzle. It's constantly like "Is this a trick, or one of the real ones?"
