I wouldn't be surprised if they waited until after the WW HD release to put out Majora's Mask 3D. They said they were also making an original 3DS Zelda title and probably don't want to flood the market by releasing Zelda games back to back to back (though I'd buy them all :ohdear:).

Also Miyamoto wasn't talking about a LttP-style game so much as an actual remake of LttP. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

If you don't want to bother with Justice for All or Apollo Justice there are some really good synopses here. Personally I'd recommend playing playing JFA, at least over AJ. While JFA may have the single circus case it's pretty good otherwise and has a fantastic fourth case, while AJ is just plain boring throughout. You don't need to play AJ to play or enjoy Dual Destinies, which is by far the better game.

I'm afraid this has nothing to do with pants, but does anyone know if that 20% off Nintendo eshop cards sale that Best Buy was doing is still going on? I can't find anything on the Best Buy website.

So I bought the regular sized 3DS before the XL came out and now I'm thinking of upgrading. Any suggestions on how I should go about that? I was hoping to trade in my old 3DS for store credit to go to the purchase of an XL, but I also want to be able to do a system transfer before I give it away. Of course, if Best Buy or Target has a really good deal, would it be much of a hassle to sell my old 3DS on Amazon or eBay after I get the XL? And how much credit/money can I expect to get from my old 3DS? I'm in the US if that helps.

(apologies if this would go better in C&D)

I really enjoyed FFIII DS when I played back when it first came out, I think mostly because of the Job System. That gave you a lot of things to try out and play around with, and gave you the ability to tailor your party to your play-style. I also liked how the world kept expanding and opening up, so that once you thought you'd reached the end there was more to explore.

I haven't played it in years though, so I don't know if I'd have the same opinion.

I just got an XL as well, and I've been loving it. Haven't played any of my old DS games on it yet, but I want to see how they look.


Pivo posted:

You can run them at the game's native resolution if you want, I think you have to hold select and start as the game starts up. It looks better IMO.

Oh, that's good to know. I'm pretty sure my old 3DS's screen was slightly smaller than my DS Lite's screen, so it'll be nice to play around with the resolution.

Do they have any plans to make a 2d metroid for the 3ds anytime soon?

Not that I've heard of. The Metroid team went silent after Other M.

Though I doubt the entire franchise would just get discontinued, it's worth noting it's a series way more popular in the West than in Japan. Nintendo probably doesn't really know what to do with it after Other M flopped.

Though I wish, and would love to be proven wrong.

...or a 3D one for that matter. Prime would be awesome on 3ds.

They have it already, it's called Metroid Prime Hunters.

The level design is really nice, but the gameplay is a bit lackluster.

DarkHamsterlord posted:

It's also not fun to play and should be ignored alongside Other M as a game no one should play ever.

I think it's very unfair to compare Hunters to Other M. Hunters didn't ruin anyone's character, and was at worst forgettable.

Rock dude was the best. It's a shame we'll never seen any of the Hunters again, not even in Smash :(

The setting issue makes sense but regardless, if the series has performed consistently and has that built in userbase then it's a no brainer to bring the new iteration over. Throw in a sudden story arch that Phoenix had to return to his home planet of Japan or something.

It's not even Phoenix, it's his ancestor. Just open the story with Nick going "Did I ever tell you about my great grandfather, who went to Japan to practice law?" and they can keep the rest intact.

I beat Kid Icarus: Uprising after getting it on recommendation of this thread and the Smash Bros thread. It's got great gameplay, plus the music and writing is fantastic. Also because I didn't follow this thread too closely I wasn't spoiled that it had more than nine chapters.

gently caress getting all the achievements, though (I'm gonna try anyway :negative:).

TWEWY is one of the few games I actually took the time to 100%, it was so good. It'll never get a sequel though, because it's more profitable to churn out Final Fantasy XLII-12: Lighting Is My Waifu than go back to TWEWY.

I'd love to be proven wrong, though.

I got locked out of 100% completion on TWEWY because of some stupid clothing-related thing. Also Panthera Cantus can go gently caress itself.

"New 3DS" works in Japanese since they're not going to confuse it with "atarashī 3DS." It works just like a regular name should.

They really do need to change it for the English speaking world.

The Smash demo is impressive. loving thing manages to have worse controls than Kid Icarus. The circle pad is so loving bad. And the shoulders. And all the other buttons. Even the start button is a piece of poo poo. I'm not certain the original 3ds was designed to play games on. I'd rather it was 100% touch screen controls than what the game defaults to.

Didn't they say they were releasing a gamecube controller adapter?

you can remap controls in the full game

You all should instead sell me on Chrono Trigger DS. Is it worth the $25 from Amazon? Absolutely loved it on the SNES and I hear the DS version has some quality of life improvements and an arena.

I loved Crono Trigger DS, it's the same great game with a couple new areas to explore (however the related quests mostly involve running back and forth, and aren't important to the plot) which can give you some cool new equipment. The best part is probably the improved translation and a new alternate ending.
