Title: 3DS-Whats on this thing?
Post by: Rahxephon91 on October 04, 2013, 01:27:47 PM
Well my current and possibly foresable situation has me on the train everyday and in Coffoe shops and whatnot for a few hours every week. So I guess a portable would be a good time killer for this.

I'm never going to play on my phone and Vita's only appeal is playing ports of PS2 games. Not enough for the cost. So I guess the 3DS is my best option. But outside of SMT4 what's really good on the system? Not counting Nintendo games because I don't play them except maybe Pokemon, but I already know that one.

Also what's the best model?

Steamworld Dig is a fantastic little eshop game. A definite get.

I don't think I'm an animal crossing kind of person.

But speaking of Virtual Console, what actually got me thinking about handhelds is while on the train I thought man "I sure would like to play FFVI now". Are there any SNES jrpgs on the 3DS VC like say FF6?

Phoenix Wright is coming out this month and I'm totally stoked, but it's not everyone's thing.

I'll be getting it. Hope they don't refer from the Apollo Justice game since I skipped it.

You're fucked, it has Apollo who is a part of the story, and characters from it. Lol.

If you are a weeaboo and know Japanese then the Vita is GOAT of current handhelds. It's not a PS2 port station.

BEST 3ds games:
SMTIV
EOIV
Soul Hackers
EO Untold: The Millenium Girl

Based on what? Most of what is on Vita is available in America. What did we miss out on?

Did you play it? Was it as good as the other games?

Quite a bit: http://images.4chan.org/vg/src/1381065319554.jpg

It's true that the Vita is getting a lot of localizations, but there are also quite a lot of JP only niche games out atm with a lot more on the way. I think the Vita is a great platform if you're part of the dedicated niche fanbase, and even better if you actually know Japanese.

Yes I played it. I didnt care for it. It was the worst until Edgeworth Investigations came out.

Nintendo 3DS is probably my last Nintendo hardware purchase. I was never much of a handheld gamer, and Pokemon games aren't really that good.

apparently there are only around 70 new pokemons,here's all of the known new pokemon at the moment

it was allright,the overarching plot was the most stupid thing about it... here's a summary in a mocking comic form

This image is a good piece. I'd like to play the Tales remakes.

I do not like AA4 at all, Beezy. I beat the other AA games in a matter of days. It took me weeks to beat AA4.

I liked apollo justice. Maybe not the character, but the game at least. It had a lot to live up to with AA3 though.
Title: Re: 3DS-Whats on this thing?
Post by: Himu on October 06, 2013, 04:38:25 PM
I don't think it even lives up with AA1. The entire circus storyline and stuff really didn't work for me. I also greatly dislike the bracelet and the ending.

Post by: bork on October 06, 2013, 04:48:25 PM
Ace Attorney 1 is still the best.  AA2 is the worst of the original trilogy...I think I still enjoyed Apollo Justice more than that.

I can agree with this after just having finished AA2 again (although I think the third is the best). Outside of the final case, AA2 was either underwhelming or just plain baffling in its logic.

Yes, somehow I was supposed to know that Acro had a blanket on his wheelchair when you never see below his waist until the very end. And that AWFUL ragtime circus music.

my very slow progress in monster hunter as i trundle towards the 20 hour mark is still making my pants tingle.

Oh infect me - filthy virus of power!

Also though - MH4 has hard crashed on me -at least- 5 times, and i swear to god the town mission involving Gerious is bugged - it doesn't show up for 30 minutes every time i fight it.


Still... GOTF? as long as it doesn't cack it's pants in some god awful way - but i can't see it - the fights are glorious. GOTF
