MinionOfCthulhu posted:Between Fire Emblem and Etrian Odyssey February is a good month for 3DS owners who enjoy punishingly hard RPGs. Playing Fire Emblem so soon after getting free of Xcom Battered Wife Syndrome felt like having a parfait on a Sunday picnic. Not getting obliterated because the bad guy was on screen and I wasn't in cover was downright confusing.

I'll represent the flip-side of that coin and say that, while I'm salty that the 3DS XL came out so close to when I got my normal, my Zelda 3DS is the most beautiful collector's edition I've ever seen and I think it'd look gaudy as an XL. The normal 3DS reminds me alot of the GBA Micro with how sleek it is. And also how they both hurt my hands to use.

Holy poo poo whoever is forcing all these 3DS games to use polygons needs to be found and stopped. That game is likely to cause injury when viewed in 3D.

Constable Lemon posted:One thing about the screenshots is that Yoshi and the enemies have kind of ugly looking 3D models that look weird compared to the art of the levels. I wish that they were sprites or otherwise flat instead, and looked closer to fitting in with the environments. It doesn't help that Yoshi is taking up like a 1/5th of the screen making the game look like all those lovely Portable Version from years gone by.

Atlas Hugged posted:There's a Penny Arcade from a year or more back where Gabe says something about judging who is happier, the guy with one $40 game or the guy with forty $1 games. Having not played a lot of $1 games, it felt like a fair point. Now that I've experienced the breadth of mobile gaming, I'll stick to $40 games with actual studios and budgets behind them. The Gamestop I go to has Steam wallet codes set up right next to the 3DS section and every time I feel slightly tempted to get Kid Icarus or Fire Emblem I see the Steam cards and feel utterly goddamn foolish for spending $40 on a game. I did see yesterday that Animal Crossing is going to be $35. If it wasn't just a preview box I probably would have bought it.

Can anyone compare the new Mario & Luigi game to the Paper Marios? I typically enjoy M&Ls but can't stand the sheer amount of dialogue and text scrolling in Paper Marios, and I think that might be a decent litmus test for all the "ignore the reviews it's still a good game" stuff. I think someone said it was basically a clone of BiS? That would be a good thing.

The 3D effect makes aliasing such a huge problem for me. In 2D it's just an ugly distraction that you can eventually get accommodated to. In 3D I've had it cause actual pain.

I don't like arguments that assume customers are ridiculously dumb, but Nintendo does realize that the words "3DS" are printed on every single game that's been made for it, right? On the spline, on the cover, sometimes within the actual friggin title? Why would you name the player of such things something explicitly *not* "3DS"?Saoshyant posted:Who is this for? Four year olds. Without an ounce of exaggeration. Doesn't the 3DS still come with a Ages 8 & Up warning or something because of the 3D effect? Nintendo got to hook em while they young. It even looks like the screens are behind a foot of rubber.

There's only one Fat Heihachi themed pokemon, and that means it is the best. Also I vaguely remember biker Wartortles from the cartoon? Come on.

So I was browsing Gamestop's site and found this: http://www.gamestop.com/nintendo-3ds/consoles/3ds-system-black-gold-recharged-refurbished/107542?loc=bestsellers They are taking old 3DSes and refurbishing them into Zelda collector's edition clones.  It's sorta cool but also very very Gamestop.

Man, I'm browsing the eShop for the first time in ages and see a video for Mario 3D World and get momentarily excited and then video is all "Only On Wii U." Why the heck is a Wii U game named "3D World"? Someone at Nintendo just thrives on confusing the gently caress out of people.

Cyra posted:Not that this makes it better, but what they're doing is aping from when there was Mario Land on the Game Boy and Super Mario World on the SNES. Now it's like, Mario 3D Land on the handheld and Mario 3D World on the console. See what they're going for there? I understand what you are saying but I'm also pretty sure Super Mario World didn't randomly have the word Gameboy in it. I can't help but think this is Nintendo thinking that the problem people have with the NSMB games is the name.

Well I think I'm ready to strike Bravely Default off the list. I knew nothing about the game and just kind of assumed it was something other than Square's typical DS chibi Final Fantasy ugly. And that VA did no favors. Kirby too seemed kind of lame to be using messy rear end polygons. Hasn't that series kind of had a penchant for looking unique? VVV If their development process for the game was literally write down all the Zelda conventions and then not do them they could make the game a strict 3-heart run. kater fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Oct 1, 2013 |

Ursine Asylum posted:I feel like it's like the touchscreen was for the DS, only worse. You had the split of games where some were created with it in mind as a control scheme, some that had the touchscreen tacked on as a halfassed afterthought, and some that either just gave a quick optional nod to it or ignored it completely. The new Pokemon game doesn't use 3D for it's overworld, probably the majority of the game; and the performance of the 3D battling parts turns to poo poo with it enabled. Which is the most  thing ever because if there is one game that would define a Nintendo handheld it's Pokemon and it doesn't even loving use the namesake.

What was the final verdict on Kid Icarus being rear end to control? I've got just a normal 3DS and my wrists are so hosed up that just playing it normal is at times uncomfortable. Should I just avoid Kid Icarus completely? Toys R Us is doing a buy one get one 40% off being the reason I'm asking. Their stock is limited and still really expensive, but there's got to be something I can buy with Pokemon.

Hanks Lust Cafe posted:So I'm kind of into the 2DS etch-a-sketchy design, and I'm wondering if there any 3DS titles where the 3D is considered to be essential. Like, I'd imagine Mutant Mudds is a lot less fun without the depth effect, so I probably wouldn't bother with that. The 3DS Classics line turns from lovely games with cool 3D effects into just lovely games.

Autosaves would gently caress with the save scumming Pokemon basically begs you to do. And offering multiple save files would violate their profit motivated prime directive. And yeah, the 3DS is laughably ghetto piece of tech. I can't believe this thing is two years old already, how long until the next one?

gently caress 3D, totally. The 3DS isn't the most capable thing in the world, and every jaggy turns into a goddamn eye-dagger in 3D mode. Pokemon is just a hilarious example because not only is the 3D effect incredibly minimal and only present for half the game, but it totally washes out the color and destroys performance.
