@zool: I've played both, and enjoyed them a lot. The games are radically different from each other in terms of playstyle, though, so it's hard to say which one I prefer for that reason.
Star Rush is one of the better Mario Party's, in my opinion, and is really good as a single player experience. Multiplayer is very fun as well, but Star Rush has many single player modes that are just as fun! I would agree with reviews, and say that it's one of the best single player Mario Party's, and I have played the majority of Mario Party games.
I found Fire & Ice to be really fun, as well. The game is quite short, only took me around 6 hours or so to beat, but the levels themselves are really engaging. I didn't encounter any glitches throughout the entire playthrough. There's only a little replay value; to collect all the collectibles in the game, beat time attacks, etc. If you've played Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, then it's the same gameplay style, but they fixed a lot of the minor annoyances Shattered Crystal had.
So it all really depends on what type of game you want the most. If you want a lot of replay value, single and multiplayer fun, and just a fun party game, then go with Star Rush. If you're more after a fast-paced, single player platformer, then Fire & Ice is the way to go. Hope this helps!
@zool Fire and Ice is a nice little game. It has a great flow and feel of speed like the classics games, but it's very easy and short.
There are no lifes, you just restart at the last checkpoint. I finished it in about 3 hours. May have a better replay value if you like collecting stuff.

Hello, I am interested in getting some RPGs this Christmas, mostly but not exclusively on 3DS, and I was wondering which of the following games (or specific games in a series) are the best purchases:
Final Fantasy
Dragon Quest
Monster Hunter
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Golden Sun
Chrono Trigger
Fantasy Life
Super Mario RPG
Does anyone know when there'll be new titles added to the Nintendo Selects 3DS range in Europe?
Wish we could get Luigi's Mansion and DKCR3D like in NA
@SPMarioSousa95 i know! im also waiting for donkey kong country on selects like they have in the U.S already, just bought luigis mansion 2 yesterday as i couldnt wait any longer for that.
@Jamie1993 i got my daughter that same console except the sun version, its a great machine and a great game, if you like zelda go for link between worlds, its on the selects range now so under 20 pounds, yoshis island is OK but quite an easy game,
Thinking about getting my goddaughter a 2DS for her birthday in May. She'll be 6. I'm moving away in the fall, and I want to treat her before I go. We also just found out that she's going to be a big sister in the late summer, and I don't want her to feel like she's going to be forgotten amongst all of the excitement.
2DS comes with Mario Kart 7 installed, but I'm trying to decide on another game to get for her. Narrowed it down to New Super Mario Bros. 2, Style Savvy: Fashion Forward, and Disney Magical World 2.
I've played enough NSMB games to know what NSMB2 will be like. Anyone have any experience with the other two? Anyone have any other suggestions? She doesn't like Pokemon. She's incredibly smart for her age, so I'm not too worried about games being "above" her. I've got lots of time to make up my mind, but I like to plan ahead.
@LegendOfPokemon Dragon Quest 8 is probably the best entry point in the series for someone that has never played before. So I'd say go with that one.
Just saw your Miiverse question about 3DS... Sorry don't check Miiverse often anymore. But I figured I'd answer you here in the 3DS thread, even though I'm not sure you still come here often. Check your Miiverse messages though, I put my email in there also

@LegendOfPokemon Thanks, Harvest Moon seemed like the obvious choice but wanted to see if anyone had improved on that formula in any way. I'll see if I can pick up New Beginning in CEX or something .
I'd say Rune Factory is a game that's very similar to Harvest Moon(but with combat). I played it a bunch on the DS back in the day. I will say, however, that the combat is very basic and feels slightly unpolished. Fantasy Life is a cutesy game that has no farming, but is pretty fun as a life sim.
