Topic: 3DS Recommendations Thread

Hello guys,

As you can see in the Topic i cant decied wich game i should buy.
First i was looking for a Harvest Moon as i loved Friends Of Mineral Town a lot. But the 3ds Harvest Moons doesnt seem to be good and Story of Season is not available in EU.

Now i was looking for Alternative. Is the Farming part in a Rune Factory as good as Harvest Moon? How is the Housing in the 3 Games.
I would be happy if you could help me to find out wich i should pick up.

@Link1309

I haven't gotten very far in Rune Factory 4 (I was looking for a more strictly farm experience myself so I put it down and got Story of Seasons) but the farming itself isn't much different. You can choose whether to focus more on the farming or the adventure elements (though you will eventually have to take care of those type of tasks to advance the story forward).

Is Friends of Mineral Town the only Harvest Moon game you played? Because my first one was Harvest Moon DS and I absolutely loved it. I'd totally recommend that one if you're looking for a more traditional BokuMono experience since EU doesn't have Story of Seasons yet (sorry about that btw :-/) .

Thank you for your help. According to what I heard so far--including online search I did a moment ago--"Super Mario 3D Land" is an independent game that got nothing to do with any other Mario game released on the console (including Wii and Wii U) besides 2ds, 3ds and new 3ds. I hope I am not mistaken on that one. If that's the case, then I think this is a must buy for me. I played Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, and I love them so much. So this game should be my cup of tea.

Using new 3ds xl now. The manual says when the console being charged for too many times, it's recommended to unscrew the back.case for battery pack replacement. Usually how long can my current battery pack last before it's time to change a new one? Thanks.

I used mine for 3 years and 4000 hours before I started noticing a slight drop off in charge. I also never shut my system off and used maxed brightness and 3d full on all the time.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Did you usually unplug the charger from the 3ds when the console is 100% charged?

Nope, I would charge it while I was sleeping so it was one there for hours afterwards.

Sometimes I am like that too. I charge my devices, such as mobile phone, when I sleep. Seems that most devices nowadays, including game consoles, should be fine even when they were being charged when full of electricity. Are you using the original 3ds, or the "New 3DS XL" like the one I'm using? I noticed something strange but hard to describe what I noticed.

@svic All I was quoting was from my old XL model I got pretty much at launch. I just recently upgraded though to the new XL. That has already had to be repaired but it seems to work just fine now.

Can anyone recomend me a good RPG game?
Especially one like Earthbound

For 3ds only

There's Citizens of Earth on the eshop that's a homage to Earthbound you could try.

@arronishere:

There is one game, which I believe to be RPG, that really attracts me. It's Fire Emblem Awakening. Is that a turn based RPG like Final Fantasy?

It is a turn based RPG but not like Final Fantasy, it's Strategy RPG so a bit different. There's a demo available for it so you can give a try before hand.

Ok

@komengancol: How much did you end up paying?

Copies are going for around $40 on Ebay. You can also get it for under $50 on Amazon. I guess Nintendo must have printed more copies of the game? It was going for $60+ not too long ago.

I doubt it, the demand probably went down shortly after the announced Majora's Mask. Still for a game 4years old that's quite good concerering it most likely sold more then a million.

Sticker Star, lol

Kind of new to 3ds, which should be the next game?

I bought a 2ds for my daughter to christmas and had the chance of a buy 3 games pay for 2 at a store. Picked up Animal Crossing and Pokemon Ruby for my daughter, and the 3rd game I decided to choose for myself, to try out if the 3ds has good games at all. I choosed Fire Emblem Awakening, since it has got so good comments here from nintendolife and I'm also interested in RPG's anyway.

So after the announcement of New 3ds and MH4U, I decided to pick up the console for myself, I've been digging down to 200 Hrs till finally geting bored of MH.
Since I enjoyed Fire Emblem that much, I also decided to buy some Fire Emblem Amiibos and to get Code Name STEAM, now I'm almost done with that game aswell.
Super Smash Bros and NSMB2 I got aswell. And ALBW + MH3U I got through the Club Nintendo Winter campaign.

Since there is quite a while till the next good 3ds games comes out.

Which game from the older ones should now be my next? Don't want to miss out on anything great

I'm tending to Kid Icarus Uprising, bcuz of the good comments from nintendolife community (Would be a new franschise to me, and a new great experience if ofc appealing),
and to Bravely Default (But bcuz of all negative comments of endless grinding, I doubt the game is that great to deal with both titles Bravely Default and Second, then I might just wait for Second to come out). Although I enjoy RPGs, been playing Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii and Golden Sun for GBA back in the days for example. Or maybe should another great RPG for 3ds be the next? Any suggestions?

For my daugther, for our next vacationtrip, I guess I'll be geting Luigis Mansion 2 (Never had a Gamecube, but the graphics looks nice and the game seems to get well praised here on this community, also will be a new gaming experience to me if I try it out). Have been considering Kirby or Pokemon X/Y although.

Thanks in advance!
