The 3DS trilogy is also the first time they've gone back and fixed instances of typos and engrish.

We're never getting Zero Mission, are we

There's a bit of a 3D effect, and the sprites are higher resolution so they aren't just recycled from the DS games. That and being all in one package so you're not swapping carts.

And that's about it. Worthwhile if you want to play the games again, but if you don't have the itch then there's no real point. I thought it was cheap enough that even though I already own the games on DS, I bought it again to play them without looking for the carts. Also having access to the home menu is great.

Thanks! The improved sprites are tempting, but not sure if I'll pick it up.

They're improved in the sense that they're based off the HD iOS assets but with some of the extra animation frames that were missing from the iOS ports for whatever reason. They also used the high-quality arranged music from one of the OSTs, I think.

The best thing about the 3DS Ace Attorney Trilogy is that you can now skip unread text.

I actually just started playing the Trilogy version of the first game. I gave my cart of it to a friend a long time ago so it was nice to play it. That was one reason I bought the Trilogy (to replace my missing copy of AA1), and I suppose just to have a handy copy digital copy of the 3 games in one.

Some music tracks in AA3 are really messed up though, also Grossbergs Macarena reference got changed to a Harlem Shake.

Did they end up patching the Zelda Oracles games so you can access the Advance Shop?

Also if I already own the Ace Attorney trilogy on DS, is the Trilogy collection on 3DS worth it? Any interesting new additions or is it just straight ports?

You can sort of brute force the GBA rings into the game if you understand how the password system works, there are charts for it online.

Alternatively you can use this password generator but it would automatically start you on a Hero's Secret game than a fresh game.

In that same scene, Grossberg's hemorrhoids do the boogie woogie in French, the chicken dance in German, tap dance in Italian, and St. Vitus' Dance ( :stare:

) in Spanish. It very well could be a different scene where the Macarena is brought up, or it could be some weird version thing.

Finding all of this reminded me of how fun it is to look at all of the different Ace Attorney localizations. It's really interesting to see how they translated all of the puns and cultural references in so many different ways.

AA is good, but quality can vary wildly from case to case. Most feel that the second game is weak until the final part, for example. Though personally I feel this is all relative, and even the worst AA case is pretty fun to play through (4-3 excepted because of repeated FMVs).

I thought the mysteries and twists and turns of the actual murders were far more interesting in AA than either Danganronpa, and to be honest I never cared for half of the court mechanics in Danganronpa either (the 2nd didn't make them any better).

I am a bit upset at that WiiU indie thing not also being on the 3DS. Ugh, I bought an Eshop card and I'm just sitting on it now.

What are some decent DLC maps in FE:A, I have the EXP/gold set already, and would like something that either makes it easier to raise relationships, or just isn't end game hard, as I'm still trying to get a few straglers up in levels.

Dakko Dakko (Scram Kitty) is bringing Year Walk to Wii U, and it sounds like they're making an effort with the port, too: http://simogo.com/2015/07/14/year-walk-is-coming-to-wii-u/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uVxwrsFbbQ

quote:

As you can imagine we are beyond excited about this; we�ve been wanting to make something for Nintendo hardware ever since we started Simogo, and the day is finally here.

There�s a lot to say about it, so we�ll jump right into it.
First of all. No, this is not a simple port. We knew that we wouldn�t want to hand Year Walk off to a porting studio, yet we wanted a fresh view on the game to make it feel new, exciting and home on the platform. So we�ve worked together with someone we knew we could trust to do this � our friends Dakko Dakko.

The game has been totally rebuilt for the platform, with the Wii U GamePad tightly integrated into the game. It�s hard to imagine that it was not made for Wii U originally � that�s how home it feels. Without spoiling anything, we�ll share what�s new and why you should be excited (and please have a look at the trailer above to see these features in action!)

� The GamePad Touchscreen
You might have expected that the encyclopedia, the map, and (optional) hints are now always available, you just need to lower your gaze to look at the GamePad screen and they�re there. But, that�s not all we�re using the screen for �

� Note-taking
Now that you have a separate touchscreen with a stylus in front of you at all times, you can take notes and jot down puzzle ideas and solutions without having to resort to a pen and paper. If you have played Year Walk, you know how useful this will be. Not much to say here than that it feels awesome!

� Motion Controls
So � if you�re using the touchscreen to navigate the encyclopedia, the map etc, how do you control the game? With motion controls! And it feels so, so, great.
Yes, we know, motion controls can be a bit scary, and frankly not very good if not done right, so we�re going to explain a bit how it works:

You use the left stick to walk (and it feels pretty good to do so with analog controls!). But, to look around and find things to interact with, you�ll point and move the GamePad with very relaxed and subtle motions. It�s very reminiscent of using the Wii Remote to point at the TV, or mouse controls, but perhaps even more relaxed, as you don�t have to point it towards the TV. You can rest the GamePad neatly in your lap. We�re very proud of this and we think we�ve made some really cool innovations with the motion-based cursor controls.

Unlike the PC-version, which used cursor controls to interact with puzzles and contraptions, we now use custom motion controls for almost every puzzle. For example, if you find something in the forest that you can spin or rotate, you�ll physically rotate the GamePad, with really finely tuned controls. The GamePad rumbles and makes lovely sounds (make sure you have the volume all cranked up on it!), and it just feels amazingly tactile � like you�re actually holding the objects in your hands.

� Languages
Previously, Year Walk have only been available in English. Year Walk for Wii U is the first and only version which you will be able to play in English, French and Spanish, Italian and German.

� + SECRETS!
There�s a bunch of other fun and surprising things that has been changed and added, and we really don�t want to spoil them for you, but we can assure you that some of them will make you smile big time.

So, to be honest, we think that this is the definite and best version of the game.

Oh, and the last (and perhaps best) news is that Year Walk for Wii U is very near completion. We don�t have a firm release date yet, but we�re hoping late summer or early fall.

I'd strike out Trozei and add Mystery Dungeon (most of them, at least).

I just didn't like Trozei. It was one of those games that I only finished because I bought it and didn't have anything else to play.
