Well here's hoping Soul Calibur V 3D kicks them all straight in the gonads. And I really hope the new Mortal Kombat makes it's way onto the 3DS(Wishful thinking i know) because that would definitly be a day one buy for me without question.
As for DOA...Please tell me the Online matches are almost completely lag free. I won't bother with Tekken 3D, not only does it suffer from the dreaded SSFIV Paper cut out statis people in the background but it's tekken...Which is possibly my most hated fighting around. Robotic and lifeless it tis'
As for lag, I'd say DOAD is around the same as SSFIV3D. Although the online is leagues more enjoyable because you won't run into anyone spamming touch specials, If that's any consolation. There are touch combos, true, but every single possible combo (even little punches and kicks) has one, and you have to scroll through them, so it's virtually impossible for them to be of use outside of training.
As for Soulcalibur, I really hope that series gets a 3DS installment too, but anything but V! Why they felt the need to replace half of the cast is beyond me (yes, I know it's set 17 years in the future to the last one, but it's a very magical series, so there's no reason they find a way to keep many characters young). Whatever is released (or if anything is released), I want guest Link and/or Pit

I have to agree with you on the cast for SC V. I dont know why but figting games always seem that at one point they have to revamp the fighters Capcom did it for SF III MK did it for MK IV. I understand that they dont want to be doing the same old thing but come on when you take out alot of the fan favorites and give us characters that cant even compare to them it makes a horrible game.
As for Link in a SC game just pick up SC II on Gamecube. That game right there is the main reason I picked up the Gamecube.

If you can't have both, I'd go with Kid Icarus. It's a brand new game, built from the ground up for 3DS. Tons of replayability and content. I'd say it's a benchmark 3DS game. Not to say that Zelda isn't, but it's a remake, so if you've played it before go with Kid.
That said, I have both and love them both very much!

Does anyone have CRUSH3D? I tried the demo, it's fun...but Is it that hard or challenging like some reviews say? It's cheap at the moment, like every Sega game but i'm divided between Crush3d and Shifting world. I want some puzzle game :/
I had the PSP version and could never beat it. The later levels, challenge levels, and 100%'s were hard. Though not impossible. I'm not sure how much they changed, but it's perfectly beatable and very fun from what I played.
What did you guys think of Avenging Spirit? I thought it was pretty decent, but in the end i just wasn't quite satisfyed with it. It was defintily fun here and there, very challenging towards the end and had some solid chip tunes, but i dont know....It just didn't quite mesh with me. Man i don't know what it is, but as I get older i find myself getting pickier with games and modern gaming in general....I'm not as a big of a hardcore gamer as many of you dudes are(at least when it comes to most modern stuff)...But at least 'Tetris' gave me a nice portable retro rebound and put a smile on my face.
But ya....even Mr Game & Watch Gallery didn't do much for me. High score based titles don't tickle my Freddy Krueger fancy, but I'll admit i got a nice little kick out of 'Octopus' Still fun after all these years. And while the new Mario based remakes deliver more varied, complex and superior gameplay i feel that they completely lack the charm of the originals.
Metroid II is the only VC left that sparks my interest. And Kirby's Dreamland 2 shall be the next muhahaha I think it's time i lay off the 3DS's VC and 3DSware and actually play some retail games for once.
I felt similarly about G&W Gallery. It was alright, but it just didn't do it for me (although I got a kick out of fire). When I just need to pick up something and play for a few minutes, I'm much more satisfied by Zen Pinball 3D, Alleyway, Kirby's Block Ball, or GB Tetris. G&W Gallery felt like my first (and only) VC purchasing mistake.

Like everyone else has been saying, DOAD is much better than SSFIV3D. They're both fun games, but Street Fighter is a port, and it shows (while DOAD was built for 3DS). Also, SF has everything unlocked from the start (where's the fun in that), and DOAD has a Metroid arena (epic win).
Everyone I know whom has played both prefers DOAD, yet the gaming media seem to have preferred SSFIV (usually putting it just one spot higher on "best of" 3DS lists). Odd...
That's because fighting games aren't meant to be played alone. They're competitive games, and from a purely competitive stance, SSFIV kicks DOA up and down the block. Sure it has less singleplayer content, but find a good group of people you can actually compete with, and it'll last you way longer than any singleplayer ever could.
So can anyone tell me what the big deal about Bravely Default is?

Hey check out my awesome new youtube channel shingi70 where I update weekly on the latest gaming and comic news form a level headed perspective.
So can anyone tell me what the big deal about Bravely Default is?
Dude have you not seen screenshots of it yet? It's freaking gorgeous! And it's obviously a successor to 4 Heroes of Light, which was a great game, and now it'll have more of a focus on story. I've been following the news that's come out lately, it just keeps sounding better and better!
Hmph. RPGs are lacking on my 3DS. I need my Fire Emblem fix.
Also, I would love for you guys to pick up Ace Combat (here we go again...). I have a full written review online at my website. Star Fox ain't got nothin' on this bad boy.
Oh, yeah, did anyone break down and import The Mask of Miracle? Let me know if it's a good game to get when it hits NA shores.

Is this your first Ace Combat game?
Pretty much, yeah. So maaaybe I'll be lying a bit if I would think that veterans of Ace Combat would like it. But I still enjoyed it immensely.
By the way, is it required to know the story of Kingdom Hearts before playing 3D? If it is, then I'll ply my money towards MGS3D.
Metroid, Xenoblade, EarthBound shill
I run a YouTube/Twitch channel for fun. Check me out if you want to!
Please let me know before you send me a FC request, thanks.
Aw Catrap (lol cat rap) is not that bad, I still can't complete it but trying is fun. I feel the same about the DK gb game though for some reason I play Catrap more often than DK.
I think the VC games I play the most are Game and Watch Gallery (I love the modern Octopus music so much) and Mario's Picross... And Tetris if there's nothing else to play.
Zelda and SML 2 are both great too, but if I start to play Zelda again I won't have time for other games
My next purchase will be G&WG2. I have been considering to buy Qix too, anyone has that one?

It's all rather repetitive, and the incentive to get that higher score for me is basically none exsistent, unless there are unlockables! But even then..... And dude, I've made more than just one VC mistake....
Balloon Kid Awful awful contols...
Cat Trap All of the stage's themes which are boring are all the same and the 'One song only' for each character just loops and loops to the point where you feel like your brains are going to explode into King Hippo Pixel dust. Plus the frustration factor is off the charts with this one. I just couldn't be bothered with it.
Mr. Game & Watch Gallery Repetitive, me no like high score driven titles. rawr rawr.
Avenging Spirit The best of the 4, but even then it just didn't quite click with me.
I had the urge to want to give almost every VC game a try but now I'm watching carefully what I buy and i don't want to take risks on something that already doesn't exactly apeal to me(Mario's Picross and Blaster Master for ex). Diving into these games that don't exactly interest me are practically creating more lousy 3DS experiences. I also deleted Shinobi(I'm a Gaiden boy! ) it's a good game and everything, but like 'Fortified Zone' i just don't like either being on my menu. They both completely lack the wow & PiZaZ' factor, polish and charm of lets say Ninja gaiden I & II and Contra for the NES. They're B grade in comparison!
Here's my current 3DS collecion which I'm totaly and most righteously Happy with.
Super Mario Land Kirby's Adventure Zelda: Link's Awakening DX Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge Donkey Kong Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins Gargoyle's Quest Tetris
My VC: Super Mario Land (not the most polished platformer, but still fun, and it's quirks make it worth the price of admition). Super Mario Land 2 (great game. Felt like a portable "World" with some unique themes). Mario's Picross (got it through Club N. ended up enjoying it more than I thought I would. It'll keep you plenty busy, that's for sure). Donkey Kong (loved it. by far the hardest GB platformer I've played, and it has quite a bit of content). G&W Gallery (you know how I feel about it) Alleyway (surprisingly enjoy it. It does nothing spectacular, but it wasn't setting out to do so in the first place) Kirby's Block Ball (this isn't some mediocre block buster with Kirby slapped on it. It's truly a fun game) Kirby's Dream Land (like SML, it's not outstanding, but it's still a fun game Nintendo afficionados need to play) Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge (love it. It's tough, but figuring out the "correct" order in which to do things was rewarding) Shinobi (it's like Mega Man, but with Ninjas. Awesome) Bionic Commando (enjoyed it. It's pretty lengthy for a GB action title, the classic Capcom difficulty is present, and the grappling mechanics were interesting) Gargoyle's Quest (mix tough action platforming with RPG elements. Yes please) Tetris (simple, but addicting) LoZ: Link's Awakening DX (my favorite VC title thus far. A full length Zelda adventure in my pocket for less than $10! What else do you need to know?). Metroid II (love it. the environments can get a little same-y, but it's simply fantastic in every other area).
I might be missing a few (and I'm not going to list the 20 amb games), but I don't think s

Come next week, I will be taking a train from LA to Seattle. I'll have both my 3DS and my DSi XL with me. What games would you recommend to kill some time? I'm thinking about taking along the entire PW series, plus Tales of the Abyss; I need games to take care of me for both trips, since I have to take the train back as well. I don't have much of a backlog, since I took care of most of it, but Rune Factory 3 and Devil Survivor 2 still need finishing.
