Topic: 3DS Recommendations Thread

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.

Kid Icarus or Zelda 3D

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!

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.

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.

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?

Akihiko Yoshida on art
Takashi Tokita directing
Job and battle system like FFV
Traditional old school rpgs that's few and far between and cant find on consoles anymore.(

Also finally realized what flying fairy stands for. Its something in game as well to have FF in the games initials

Speaking about Bravely Default, Square Enix said this week(yesterday on twitter I think) that it would take between 60/70 hours to finish the game.

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!

That means we'll all beat it in 30 hours, tops.

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.

Hahahaha true.

Is this your first Ace Combat game?

Well thanks everyone. I'm now hyped For BD:FF! And yeah, god that game looks gorgeous!

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.

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?

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.
