There are not enough words to describe how badly I need this game. I think it's the music more than anything else. The trailer didn't show any combat at all, or really much gameplay outside of the wall-walking aspect.

When the Link to the Past title fanfare kicked in I legit got chills. Nintendo sure knows how to grab my hard earned US dollars.

I've never played any of the Phoenix Wright games, would it be a good idea to start with Dual Destinies?

They've written it to be "beginner friendly" but I highly recommend starting from the first game. Not only is the original trilogy the best, but it will get you up to speed on everything and show you why certain characters are important. DD takes mostly from the fourth game since it's only one year later, so you could also start with that, but it's the weakest of the series in my opinion.

Yes and no. It's modified content from the first case.

My metaphorical point is that DKC3 was on par with what Other M is for Metroid as a "series-killer trash entry" as far as I was concerned.

I wouldn't go that far. DKC2 was better and Kiddy Kong belongs in the dumpster out back, but 3 was still a fun game.

The best introduction is the first Ace Attorney game, since that doesn't just introduce the characters but it forms all their relationships so you'll have a firm understanding of who's who and why. I believe PLvsAA takes place after the third game, though, and since the original trilogy is the best of the lot, it wouldn't hurt to play through all three of them first.

They're still quite easy to get ahold of, and well worth playing. Just don't get the iOS versions, because they're really bad. A lot of the animation is hacked down to one or two simple frames, and the script is rife with errors.

They're also really buggy. Seconding that you should avoid the iOS versions.

With any luck, the triple pack for the 3DS will be coming to America too. I can't wait to buy these games I've played to the point of memorization again! :buddy:

It's using the "HD" sprites, but they aren't janky, two-frame animation abortions any more. With any luck, they'll fix the typos they added too.

All they have to do is start the next Meroid game with the ending of Other M, pan out of a television screen, and then have Samus give a thumbs down to the pitched video game idea.

Then she blows up the planet.

Bravely Deault is half of a fanfuckingtastic RPG.

Ok, I'll give it 2/3s of a fantastic RPG.

The remaining part of the game, however, is pure turdbucket.

This is about how I felt about it. The first or second times I played the same game were great. Heck, I'll even give it the third time and the "false" ending. I've never been more disenchanted by a game I absolutely loved. Everything about it was so incredible until things just looped and looped with increasingly BS boss fight rehashes. :sigh:

I remember receiving Kirby Tilt n' Tumble for the GBC as a kid and being pretty disappointed upon finding out it wasn't a "real" Kirby game. As a Marble Madness clone though, it's not too bad.

Same with me and Kirby's Dream Course. I didn't really care for it, but whether it's "bad" or not is personal preference, I suppose.

If you don't mind reading a lot of exceptionally witty dialog and enjoy catching people in their lies, pick it up. I strongly recommend starting from the beginning, but each game gives you a brief explanation of what you need to know.

What did you guys think of Ace Attorney: Investegations? It threw me off at first but it really got amazing towards the end.

Honestly, I thought the end was one of the weaker parts just because the final boss took so long and had no reason to stay there and indulge you. I liked it, though. It was a good pick-me-up after AJ and the case-specific characters were much better. Kay was a throw-away "I wish I was Maya" sidekick, but she was alright too.

JFA (second one) has an incredible final case and I liked the second too. It's the third case that no one likes.

AJ (the fourth game) is the only one people could really describe as "bad" and that's just because the new cast is junk compared to the original and the plot is full of holes (also its third case is even worse than JFA's). Really, it still plays fine, it's just all aesthetically wrong and ruins everything the first three built.

I went into the series completely blind too. I think that's the best way to do it, because you react to everything the exact same way Phoenix does.

The actual game is nothing like that at all. Bravely Default is amazingly good... until the last several chapters where you just get fed up with the cut and paste and stop playing.

Tomodatchi Life or Fire Emblem Awakening?

Going to pick up something new on the way home from work and I was going to nab Life but the Fire Emblem talk in this thread is making me waver

Fire Emblem is definitely more of a "game" and will keep you engaged longer whenever you're playing. Tomodachi Life gives everything up pretty quickly and is more like a Facebook game where you check in for a few minutes every once in a while to experience the bizarre life of your Miis.

If I were forced to choose, I'd definitely pick Fire Emblem. It has bizarre anime lives and relationships of its own, even if they don't all hail the Virtual Boy.

How about Tomodachi Life?

It's very content light but it's an amusing diversion for a few minutes every day. Think of it more like a Facebook game where you check in to see how your island full of video game characters and famous celebrities is doing then do something else.

For free it's not a bad deal at all.

There's a ton of stuff good about Bravely Default. It's one of my favorite RPGs in recent memory... until you try going for the "true" ending. I can't recommend the first five chapters enough. Just do yourself a favor and settle for the "false" ending.

I still say the best way to play Bravely Default is to just blow up a crystal and get the false ending before "those chapters" have a chance to take their toll. That much of the game is worth every penny and then some. It's just so disappointing they couldn't keep that up.
