Topic: 3DS Recommendations Thread

Would anyone here recommend Attack on Titan for 3DS? It's on sale currently on eShop.

Thanks in advance.

I've heard it's not very good. Haven't played it myself though.

Hey guys.

Right I have two weeks until Monster hunter is out and want a cheap game i literally have about 5 pound in my bank is there anything on sale at the moment I could get worth recommending. I know steam world dig is highly rated maybe steam world heist?

^Heist and Dig are more than £5 though. You'd be better off going for a VC game or too like Super Mario Bros. 3, Zelda, 3D Gunstar Heroes , Mega Man 2 etc or some cheap and cheerful indies like Gunman Clive, Might Switch Force 2, Toki Tori and The Legend of Dark Witch.

Since My Nintendo updated it's discounted games on the rewards section a couple of days ago, there are a few 3DS games I wouldn't mind getting some opinions on if you guys don't mind. I've only owned a New 3DS XL since October 2015 so I'm trying to catch up on a backlog of as many 3DS games as I possibly can.

Yoshi's New Island - I've only played Yoshi's Island on the GBA/Wii U VC, but I'm curious to try this one out. I'm only 10 platinum points away from redeeming a discount for it

Mario Party: Island Tour - I've never played any handheld versions of MP games so again I'm curious to try this one out. I've seen a little gameplay, but not enough to sway me one way or another.

Kid Icarus: Uprising - I've never played a Kid Icarus game, but I like to try this one out.

Are any of these games worth hoarding up platinum coins for between now and September 1st to redeem discounts for buying/playing?

@SuperLuigiTime

I have Kid Icarus, I feel its a good game. But its control scheme is the "love it or hate it" kind - The retail version even came with a stand to make it easier for the player to play.

I haven't played much of either Uprising or New Island, so I can't really give my opinion on those games.

However, I'm a pretty big fan of MP, and having played most of the MP games, Island Tour really disappointed me. I found the boards themselves to be too luck-based, which ruined a lot of the fun for me. The minigames were pretty good though. If you really want to try a handheld MP, I would recommend getting Mario Party DS instead. It's been out for quite a while, but I've played MP DS for many hours, and have never gotten bored with it; I got bored with Island Tour within a couple hours. The MP DS minigames are really fun, as well!

@Blue_Blur Thanks, I may give Mario Party DS a try first then, I have that game and Mario Party Advance saved on my wishlist on the Wii U eShop. I just couldn't decide between one of those two or Island Tour to play first.

@NintenMOE

Anything else you wanted to mention about the games you bought/any other recommendations?

@Ultimategamer132 I just played a round of Mario golf. Now I'm about to dive into some Pokemon Alpha Saphire. I'll be going out tomorrow to grab the other games I wanted but didn't find.

I played a little bit of MH3U on the Wii U, when I had one, and I'm interested in picking up one of the games on the 3DS.

Would people recommend 4 or Generations?

@VoodooTrumpet It seems like it will be a bit easier to get into then 4U. Story wise it won't matter at all.

Is there a standard release of Senran kagura 2 in America or only the Double D edition? (Planning to import it to own a copy in every region)

My brother just bought a N3dsXL and we were wondering other than Animal Crossing what other great multiplayer games are there we can play over wifi?

@Pokefanmum82
Wow, thank you very much, I had forgotten about Triple Force Heroes.

Didn't even know Luigi's Mansion had multiplayer.
Thanks again.

no problem.....oh and Kirby Planet Robobot has a multiplayer mode called Kirby Quest or something like that. And it's a really fun game to boot

So Monster Hunter Generations just came out, and I was wondering if I should get it, since I've heard good things about it. (I haven't played any Monster Hunter games before.) However, my local Gamestop has Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate for $25 preowned. Is it worth it to get Generations or save a bit by getting 4U?

@LegendOfPokemon Both are good games but I think a lot of people would agree that 4U is the deeper and slightly better game. However if you have never played a Monster Hunter game then Generations is easier to get into and learn.

@Spoony_Tech @LegendOfPokemon @VoodooTrumpet

I loved Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. The game made great strides to move the series forward with verticality and new weapons, removing underwater battles which many disliked, lots of new monsters, etc. And the intros when you first discover a monster, how there's a blazing roar of the monster in the cut scene which morphs right into gameplay... was spectacular.

However, I have to go with Generations here. For some unknown reason, they decided against keeping those awesome intros they used in the last game which is really disappointing. And ditched any sort of story to get you hooked. But that aside, the game is just better all around. More interesting and diverse locations, infinite improvements to remove the aggravations and annoyances of the series like holding A to keep gathering, sending items back to item box once during a quest, attacks during mounts don't knock player off but actually now contribute, a much better and deeper Palico system, more balancing like oils for Sword and Shield and special nectars for Insect Glaive, hunting styles which play to evasion tequniques without needing the evasion skillset or verticality without a glaive...

I could go on and on about the improvements in MH Generations. Adding friends directly from the lobby, pressing button after a successful hunt to skip camera showcase and skip directly to carving to save time (which will come in handy for those 8-12 carve monsters)... it's simply incredible how much they improved the game. I think it would be hard to go back to previous entries now having played Generations and getting a taste of all these conveniences and refinements.

Also, Ludroth is back, Lagiacrus is back, Niblesnarf is back, etc etc. lots of beloved monsters that were MIA in MH4U. And the new monsters are fantastic!
