Topic: 3DS eShop Recommendations thread

Tax amount is really huge and its preventing me downloading and purchasing items from the store

Is Zen Pinball as crusty looking when you play it as it looks in the eShop previews? It looks like it could be really fun but it's pretty grainy.

@Dankykong: Wow, they still have those old nasty videos up. That's not what it looks like at all. With 3d on I honestly feel it's the way pinball should be played but keep in mind the frame rate is only 30 fps so if you're use to 60 it may take some time to get use to.

There's a few games I've seen in there for years with those kinds of quality video and it makes me unsure. But good to know it's not that bad. I can deal with 30fps since it looks to be decent quality and fun.

@Dankykong: Oh and I should add it helps to have an XL. Otherwise it maybe too small to enjoy.

Yep that's what I have!

Azure Striker Gunvolt was pretty fun with good graphics and unique gameplay for a 2D action game. It's on sale now in the US for $9.99, and I recommend it.

I'm looking to get some eshop games besides the obvious VC games which are Super Metroid, Earthbound and DKC along with the obvious Pokemon Blue....man there's so many VC games that I might want.

I want to buy out some Eshop games though. Like I got Azure Striker, Pushmo, Crashmo and Rusty's Real Deal Baseball. I did have Steel Diver Sub Wars but I didn't like the game that much. Got any gems worth investing for me?

@Socar: Id suggest art of balance: touch, nano assault EX and color zen. three little gems in my opinion =]

@Socar: Mutant Mudds (also has a sequel of sorts that just came out), Xeodrifter (Metroidvania from the same dev as Mudds)... Shovel Knight if you haven't played it. Legend of Dark Witch 1 & 2 (2D action platformers). These are all 2D side scrollers actually.

Hi,

Next week, I'll have enough Platinum Points from My Nintendo to get something! I don't have a smartphone, so the process has been really slow (60 Points a week from weekly Miiverse Sign-Ins and Visits to the eShop). Question is: which should I get?

-Zelda Picross (exp. 10/2016)
-WarioWare: Touched (exp. 7/2016)

I'm leaning more toward WarioWare. While I think I'd enjoy Zelda more (I LOVE Picross & Zelda), there won't be enough time before July to earn enough Platinum Points to get WarioWare if I got Picross first (unless I got a smartphone). Don't get me wrong, I'll definitely enjoy WarioWare if I do choose that (the original is one of my favorite GBA games of all time). It's just I know I'll have enough time to earn 1,000 more points before October to also get Zelda. At the same time, I could also buy WarioWare on a cartridge for decently cheap.

All the same, which do you think I should pick?

[UPDATE]: Thanks to a few contributors here, I found other ways to get coins, potentially earning at least 120 points a week instead of 60. Doing the math, I could conceivably get Zelda first and then WarioWare in late June. Still, which do you recommend?

^You can get 120 coins a week by signing onto My Nintendo (click on the coin on the front page), Nintendo.co.uk, Eshop and Miiverse which gives you 30 coins each.

I'd go for Zelda since it's My Nintendo only and if you were that fussed about WarioWare you would have gotten it already as it's been out for over 10+ years now.

I was thinking about getting the Ace Attorney Trilogy, since it's on sale now, but I've never tried the series. My fear is that it's too much story and not enough gameplay, although from what I've seen on Youtube it seems intriguing.
Anyone that has played the series can give me an advice?

The game's fantastic. Imo the "not gameplay" isn't fair as it has you constantly thinking about contraditcions with what you know and what's going on and how to link evidence to a case and the steps involved in it. It's not sit back and press the A button to the next screen type of point-and-click/interactive novel game but if you prefer platformers, action etc games I can see why alot of people are put off on it as it's a game that is largely played it with words.

@jump
Thanks, I think I'll buy it after all. €14,99 for a trilogy of games is a bargain!

I may also jump on that trilogy. I've only played the first and it would be refreshing to play it again someday.

Also there's a demo of one of other Ace Attorney games (I think Duel Destiny?) you can try which can give you an idea of what it's like before you buy the Trilogy but the Trilogy is the best place to start though.

@jump I didn't know that, I'll download it as soon as possible. Thanks!
