Ouendan, one of the few classics of this gen. Too bad EBA had so many awful songs on it.

Will suck cocks for Ouendan 3DS.

How is Ghost Recon? It looks like one of those PSP games that I typically ignore. However, the slim pickings mean that I'll have to give GR a good look.

Ridge Racer 3D: Yup, it's the same Ridge Racer that Namco has essentially been re-packaging for over six years now. I think it does look a bit better than the PSP RRs, but not by too much. The car design has changed to be more muscle car-like, but the mechanics are still the same, and it has a good sense of speed. You can now use multiple nitrous at the same time, just like in RR6 and RR7. Soundtrack seems pretty nice. The in-car first-person view is not available. WTF? This is a RR staple and the only view that the original arcade version offered back in 1993. It's weird not having it available. The 3D effect in this game bothered my eyes a bit; had to turn it down for it to be tolerable. First impression is that this is more of the same, but that just means it's a solid arcade racer. You know exactly what to expect.

I'll be getting a 3DS on Wednesday I think. Trading in my DSi, Gameboy Micro, and a few games – should make my purchase to be only around 100 bucks.

Getting SSF4 and Pilotwings I think.

semi-co-sign

DS games on the the 3DS look worse than I expected them too. It's pretty blurry and butty, plus the DSi had larger screens. If you don't care about image quality, the games play and perform like they did on the DS. But yeah, the DSi is still the best way to play DS games.

also, yeah, the AR stuff is really, really neat. One of the games you unlock (stupid that you unlock mini-games, btw) is like a golf game where you physically move the system around a structure to aim the cue. Another has you fishing on your desk with the DS as your fishing rod. Even the simple shooting game requires you to move around to hit specific targets.

I don't know if you're supposed to play those in 3D but I had to turn it off because I was constantly moving the unit around. Hopefully Pilotwings shows off the 3D more because just based on the various features in the menu, it's not doing much for me. The 'sweet spot' is smaller than I thought and I didn't realize you had to hold it far away from your face. The 3DS is telling me I've been incorrectly playing portable games all these years, so maybe that's a good thing. I was holding older systems too close to my face and was getting face cancer or something.

And fuck the mii maker. I did it three times and it makes a Mii version of Jason Schwartzman. I'm getting a nosejob on wednesday.

I just tried Miles Edgeworth on the 3DS. It looked a little grainy, but completely fine. Will be ditching my Japanese DSi next time I go to Japan.

Nah, Samurai Warriors looks better, but there's definitely more going on in Orochi 2. I'm just glad that Chronicles' quality is good. It doesn't feel like a half-assed port and I'm glad they added to it.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #1036 on:** March 27, 2011, 08:56:48 PM »

30 fps + same shitty lod models as psp musou games + worse character draw distance + lower res = worse than orochi 2, senor. better presentation in sw chronicles, though.

Nintendo was sneaky smart with the 3DS. The combination of StreetPass and the pedometer makes me want to have it with me at all times. I went out to Best Buy and Gamestop and just walked around this evening. Already a better exercise system than WiiFit.

I stand by it looking better. Not sure about the draw distance but I can believe it. Still looks better overall though IMO.

When I look at what I have, it's a Capcom fighter, Ridge Racer, a turn-based strategy game, and a Musou title. Eerily similar to the PSP launch!

No, sorry. SSF4 is the better game. And the 3DS version having online play automatically makes it the best portable fighting game ever made.

cool breeze · « **Reply #1047 on:** March 27, 2011, 11:29:47 PM »

The 3D effect in Pilotwings is pretty incredible at first, but when I start to play naturally (the right side is tilted back) it gets all screwy. Maybe that's something that can be fixed in the the next revision. And my eyes kinda hurt after playing a bit. Maybe it's something you adjust to, I dunno, I'm not going to continue on the off chance that twenty-odd years of physical development are to be proven wrong by a children's play thing. 3D Slider: POWER DUNK. OK.

anyway, Pilotwings is probably a pass. It's the same character and charmless island from the wii games and it hides all the content through bullshit rules. Like, free flight is limited to 2 minutes and they expect you to collect 75 items, meaning you need to start from the same point a dozen or so times to collect all 75 slowly, and there are two more charts under that 75 that I assume are for Evening and Night (unlocked those somewhere around the way.

bork · « **Reply #1048 on:** March 27, 2011, 11:35:16 PM »

It's probably a no-brainer that a 3DS "Lite" in a year or two will address all the 3D issues and have better battery life. But will we care after the NGP is released?

cool breeze · « **Reply #1049 on:** March 27, 2011, 11:45:48 PM »

PSP2 won't have classics like Animal Crossing and a Hey You Pikachu port, so...

Really if they get the 3D working right, I'd be excited. Battery life isn't really an issue for me.

I will say that for a first release product, this thing is very solid. The original GBA and DS were gnarly but this is very nice. It's a lot of small things, like how nice all the buttons (and d-pad) feel. The circle pad is great and is way better than any of the PSP ones. The touch screen feels more solid and less awkward to use my thumb on. It has a nice weight to it. There is some awkward placement of inputs and weird design quirks, but yeah, it's nice for Nintendo.

edit: a message popped up in Pilotwings saying I unlocked a new collectible item (balloons)

did Rare make this game?

cool breeze · « **Reply #1050 on:** March 28, 2011, 12:55:48 AM »

Nintendo still doesn't get it when it comes to online functionality. Yay, FINALLY one friend code for every game. Great. Except that it means jack shit when you can't contact someone on your friends or invite to play a game with you. It's distinguished mentally-challenged.

But I was able to find Enk in SSF4 and play some matches with him, which already makes SSF4 3D's online system 1000 times better than TvC's!

Any complaints pertaining to the 3DS OS these days will be met with: Wait for May's Update™ (they're slowly claiming the exclusivity of the waiting meme since the year of the PS3 has yet again been delayed) since Iwata dropped some hints about some of those features during one of his laughs.

Heh, you got the same games that I did, Lyte! I haven't really had much time to play with the 3DS yet, just messed around with Super Street Fighter 4 3D Edition. Having trouble doing certain moves, and I don't want to gunk up my touch screen by doing the combinations on the bottom. Still a solid package overall. What's with having to enable 60FPS on the menu tho? That's kind of an odd thing, why isn't it on by default? I would have never known about that if I didn't read it here.

I got that $25 credit thing too (they'll probably revoke it once I return the system) and it says it's good until 6/30/2011. I wonder if more games will be available, like DoA in May or Zelda in June.

as for best game to show off to non-game people, um, the AR-cards and stuff are really cool but they don't show off the 3D effect well. I messed around with all that stuff before I played Pilotwings and that was the first time I really noticed the 3D.

The AR-card stuff feels off because not everything is 3D, if that makes sense. The hideously low resolution images from the camera form the backdrop for these polygons on screen and they 'stick out' even when the slider is off.

it comes with a few of them. A bunch are just of Nintendo characters that you can pose and move around.

The one important one is has a few mini-games where you interact with 3D objects as if they were really there (like moving the 3DS around a 3D dragon to shoot its weak spots.)
