My 3DS XL thread - come join the fun!

[Himu]

Yes they are all rpgs but the two games you cap over the most are rpgs so I dont get your point.

[Tasty]

Just making an idle observation, it's hard to keep track of the series if you're not already a big fan.

[Don Flamenco]

Thought I read the other day that the 3DS would be getting some further price cuts?  I can't seem to find anything on it now.

How much battery life should I expect at full brightness/no energy saver, full volume with DS games? 

[demi]

The only price cut was for the regular 3DS that I know of. Battery life is pretty good in my opinion, and I have it full brightness / no energy saver / full volume / 3DS game / wiggle your pinky toe / jack off with one hand while rubbing your head and patting your stomach

[Tasty]

The XL has a pretty good battery IMO but I've never measured it. I almost always can get a full days' gaming session in with med/full brightness and Wi-Fi on so the OS can constantly poll which of my friends are online.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I get about 5-6 hours with everything cranked up.

[Himu]

Lol @ "pretty good battery". Its battery is shit.

[demi]

You have us convinced

[Tasty]

Lol @ "pretty good battery". Its battery is shit.

The XL's? I haven't had it die on me yet.

[Himu]

I should probably get the shell thing for charging.

[Tasty]

Yeah, the cradle is great. $20 is bleh though. Still glad I bought it.

[Human Snorenado]

looks fun, but they've definitely missed an opportunity to include waluigi here, and that doesn't please me.

Holy shit... Oscar and I are in complete agreement on something.  Welp, time to drink some drano or something.

Waluigi was THE EVERLIVING SHIT in Mario Tennis on the 64.  His net game was god tier, for sure.

[Tasty]

I find it odd you people have played the Mario and his Shitty Friends sports games when I haven't. Y'all have bigger inner Ninthings than me.

No, it just means you suck at being a Nintard.  Mario Tennis 64 is a classic.

I grew up with Nintendo games when they were half-way decent, not sure wtf your excuse is

[Himu]

Lol

We all grew up with nintendo. We all played Mario kart, tennis, and golf.

Haha, most likely when you were playing Mario Tennis I was playing Link to the Past.

back when those sports games atleast were made with an effort. Loved the rpg elements in both tennis and golf.

[Tasty]

I'm pretty sure Mario Tennis on 3DS is by the same developers.

[Tasty]

I'm 99% sure I still play more Nintendo games than you.  Fantardism isn't defined so much by the games you do or don't play, but rather why.

I'm 100% sure you have. Going back and playing is much more difficult than just eating whatever they put out as it comes out.

But going back also has the benefits of knowing which ones were just a product of hype/dry spells and not worth playing.

[Himu]

goddamn I miss weekend virtua tennis and mario tennis sessions with friends. it's not the same without local mp so I don't even bother with mario tennis anymore. I remember the gc one and my friends and I were all over that shit.

[Tasty]

Andy, I'm not sure you understood anything I said there at all.

Probably.

I still find it funny you guys nostalgia over Mario Tennis, all things considered.

[Himu]

We're not nostalgia'ing we're just saying Tennis owned.

[Tasty]

Edit- Can't read.

[bork]

(Image removed from quote.)

I'm pretty sure Mario Tennis on 3DS is by the same developers.

...And it doesn't have the same RPG mode that the GBC games did. 

Just reading through this last page...what kind of N-fan are you, Andrex?  It's like you're the biggest diehard Nintendo fan whose never played any Nintendo games.

[Tasty]

Only would someone on the Bore call me a diehard Nintendo fan.

I play what I like. Sports games never interested me and the Mario brand alone (or any brand, actually -- still haven't bought a Pokemon spinoff since Snap) has never been enough to sell me on a game.

[Huff]

Never owned anything but a nintendo device sounds pretty diehard to me

[bork]

I don't watch sports and can't stand sim sports games (golf being the exception with Mario/Hot Shots/Outlaw Golf), but arcade-style sports games are awesome.  Can't hate on stuff like Double Dribble, Tecmo Bowl, Punch-Out!!, NBA Jam, Virtua Tennis, Mario Tennis, Beach Spikers, Outlaw Volleyball, Baseball Stars 1/2/2020, Windjammers, Neo Turf Masters, Dunk Dreams, etc.

LAWL.

[Tasty]

You know, I've never played Punch Out either. Huh.

[bork]

WTF

[Raban]

Leper Andrex.

EDIT: I have a feeling Andrex still gives Nintendo the time of day because he hasn't experienced their proper highs that allow one to see how far they've fallen.

Feel free to name a Nintendo game as good as LttP or SMG.

Is it really that hard to just go and try games? I never touched an NES until I was 18 years old, and not only did I have a bunch of fun seeking out and playing classics from that system, but learned a lot about the history of games and game design.

This is gonna sound like blasphemy, but I think LoZ is a much better game than LttP.

Star Tropics

This too. Dip that note in water.

[Steve Youngblood]

punch-out is a genuine classic.  it's such a great game that the wii version basically just painted a new skin on top of its mechanics and it was still awesome this gen.  infinity blade and sakura samurai both basically copy its formula and embellish it a little.  i don't care if you don't like boxing, it's not a fucking boxing sim.  it's an awesome game and if you don't play it you are a bad person.

Agreed. Mike Tyson's Punch Out! is one of my favorite games of all time. I really should play the Wii version again some time.

[Joe Molotov]

Star Tropics

Yes.

[Raban]

One of the best things about the NES is that the controller has four buttons. You can pick up nearly any game for the system and immediately understand it. This forced designers to make games really intuitive on their face and many developers got a surprising amount of depth out of that simplicity. Case in point: Metal Storm.

Really I don't care that you're being so ignorant towards the origins of Nintendo, Andrex, but it does bother me that you'll happily fabricate any excuse to remain ignorant. Just download an NES emulator and have at it. That, or demonstrate your Nintendo fandom with your wallet and use the Virtual Console. It's all sitting there waiting to be played, and most NES games can be finished in a day if you're persistent.

[Joe Molotov]

Andrex hasn't even played Xenoblade, one of the only games worth owning a Wii for, do you think he's gonna play some NES games?

[Raban]

I foolishly expect effort from all human beings.

Yeah, arcade sports games of the past were a lot of fun, shame they've all but dried up in recent years... closest thing to a "sim" sports game I like are the Genesis NHL games.

[Huff]

I used to go back and play LoZ pretty regularly. Might buy it on 3ds vc.

That's what I've been doing. Until this gen I hadn't played SM64, SMB1, Lost Levels, Castlevania, a whole bunch others. But some things take time.

I probably care the most about the Virtual Console compared to anyone here. I know I have a lot of old games to get through.

[Positive Touch]

you fucking suck as a video game fan. seems like you spend more time arguing about tech companies and their business strategies than actually PLAYING GAMES. probably wouldnt annoy me so much if you were honest about it instead of trying to act like something youre not.

also i would really like to know about the pathology of people who get so invested in businesses that they debate them on the internet. i just cant wrap my mind around it.

[Positive Touch]

i guess its the whole verbal masturbation thing with talking about what they could do, what they shoulda done, what would happen if...

it makes you sound like you know about something when really you know jack shit.



also i live in st louis; the amount of people here that have zero hobbies aside from following the cardinals is insane

[tiesto]

I see sports teams as an extension of hometown pride, so that I can understand just slightly more than being a fan of big businesses.

[Trent Dole]

I'd not mind a XL at this point but not for 200 fucking dollars.

[Tasty]

I feel I've been pretty open about it. I haven't played all the great games ever, but I'm taking my time to play the ones that interest me.

What have I been acting like?

[demi]

I'd not mind a XL at this point but not for 200 fucking dollars.

It's $170 at BB this week. Time to get a second job.

I've had a second job since April last year

[Himu]

hometown pride is also a similar thing.  it's all very distinguished mentally-challenged, but also very hardwired into the human brain, so not much to be done about it.

I am from Houston and Houston sucks. Eat that.

[demi]

Himu on blast

[Himu]

You have a very weird idea of what "on blast" construes. Oscar-san just offered a friendly rebuttal and correction to my statement. That is how adults talk, Demi. Might wanna learn that sometime

[demi]

Himu being passive aggressive

[Raban]

Daisuke Amaya (aka pixel of Cave Story) will release another one of his older games for the 3DS eShop tomorrow, Ikachan.



Click here for the free PC version. It's a nifty little open-world action adventure game where you collect experience to become faster and encounter many cute things. I really love this guy's stuff, so give it a look! demi, feel free to buy this on the 3DS I traded to you so when I inevitably buy it back I can play it

EDIT: It seems it is also coming to DSiware? Maybe I'll just get one of those instead

[Tasty]

IGN riding FE's nuts.

Demo sold me but the vid review made me more excited. Can't wait til Sunday night.

[Shaka Khan]

Already ordered from Amazon. A notice about possible delays from manufacturers got me worried though. Maybe I should just buy it from GS.

[Tasty]

Scoring it from eShop at midnight.

[Don Flamenco]

what's riskier-- going DD with nintendo or unprotected sex with a prostitute

[Shaka Khan]

It looks like the shipments on this are kinda limited. My GS stopped taking preorders and most likely won't secure extra copies for walk-ins. I can't believe I'm saying this but if it takes too long I might pull the trigger on the eShop version.

[demi]

Why? lol. Go play something else in the meantime. People these days...
