Mario Land 2 is fun and straightforward, Wario Land 2 is a bit more complicated but is also pretty much the best game on the Game Boy. If she likes exploring and solving puzzles and replaying the game to find branching paths/treasures/etc go for Wario, but if she just wants to run through levels and jump on things go with Mario.

For someone who's never owned a (non handheld) console, are there any must-have VC games on the eShop that I would have missed out on and will still hold up for a first play-through now?

If they added GBA games then yes  Although Super Mario 2 on the original gameboy was excellent. Try that if you don't need your games to be colourful.

I didn't really have that much of a problem with the whole Drop nonsense in KH3D, although I did hear about it beforehand so I was somewhat prepared for it. I'm infinitely more pissed about the ridiculously tedious way you get new abilities from the not-Pokemon: on average, you need several thousand LP to max out their Link Board, which is where you get all the commands and passive abilities. The problem with this is the fact that LP are retardedly hard to come by naturally: any enemy, regardless of size and strenght, only gives you 1 LP when killed and you're supposed to waste your time and all your Munny on not-Pokemon food and minigame items to get them sufficient amount of LP to max them out. The food also randomly gets eaten by one of the 3 active not-Pokemon, meaning you can't give it to whoever you want unless you take the other 2 out of party, and the minigames take around 30 seconds to complete even if you don't do anything, which is what you'll ultimately end up doing since there's not much of a difference when it comes to LP gotten from playing the games whether you actively try to play the drat things or not. There's also the fact that you need to switch the not-Pokemons to all of their available Dispositions at least once to unlock their Link Board completely, which takes an additional 5-10 minutes per not-Pokemon to do and largely consists of poking at the drat things the right way until you get the right one.

Pretty much all the NES games are good. Rayman is fun. Sonic Triple Trouble on the Gamegear is the peak of classic handheld Sonic (Labyrinth is awful and Blast is some stupid 3D game they did to tie in with Sonic 3D on consoles.) They also have Sonic 1 as a 3D classic.

The only non-handheld console that's supported by 3DS VC is the NES, so I wonder how playable a lot of those games will be to someone who didn't play anything at all during that era. Super Mario Bros. 3 is a safe bet, but even relatively accessible stuff like Zelda and Punch-Out might seem a bit too old-school for some people, I dunno.

Manatee Cannon posted:That does seem like kind of a dumb mechanic. There being an item to stave it off doesn't make it better so much as it makes you wonder why that mechanic is there in the first place if they thought you'd required that. You also collect drop points as each character, and when you drop you are able to spend them on stat bonuses for the other character and free items/commands. It's not completely useless. It actually is beneficial to stay one character longer so you build up more points. Plus, when your drop meter is about to expire you go into bonus mode where every hit to an enemy drops bonus munny/points and you can exploit this by using a Drop-me-not just as it's about to expire. Anyway, the whole point of the mechanic is to make sure you are regularly switching between characters. AzureRequiem posted:Okay I'll hold off on Kingdom Hearts until my 3DS backlog dies down a bit more. One more question, however. I know the Circle Pad Pro works with KH3D, but does it actually improve anything? The CPP lets you control the camera which is really nice. I kinda missed it when it upgraded to an XL and finished up my Critical run on it without the CPP.

So we got four games from the sale--most were for my husband--but one was Mario Golf, which I was going to play. Until we learned that there was only one safe file, and my husband wants to play with him as the main save file. Well poo poo.

I never had any problem with that stuff either.

Anyway, the whole point of the mechanic is to make sure you are regularly switching between characters. It still sounds like it'd be better if that mechanic didn't exist to be honest. Seems like it would be better to either do it like Birth by Sleep and just have you play through one character's story, then the other or else have predetermined switching points. Like every time you finished a level or something like that. Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Jul 24, 2014 |

Unless there's something in the GBA version that's drastically different, you can pretty much just move to the next dungeon once you grab the main treasure. I recently did a play through on the SNES version where I killed the bosses in reverse order, starting with Turtle Rock

I like Kingdom Hearts but it's been a long time since I played one-- I forgot there even WAS a 3DS game. I have the fondest memories of KH2, and I played Birth By Sleep to the completion of one character's storyline but never felt compelled to play through all over again. I'm not really interested in the story so as long as it isn't offensively bad, that's probably not a big pro or con for me -- is the 3DS game fun, though? I always enjoyed the battle system and all the skills and items to max out and collect in those games, and when the environment/enemy/character design was good, it was REALLY good. Is KH3D worth considering? The other 2 games I'm torn between picking up next are Rune Factory 4 and Monster Hunter, for what it's worth.
