Topic: General 3DS Games Topic

@gcunit lol. Those dang vouchers from last year did me in

The 3ds eshop is having a huge atlus sale. I dont even know where to start honestly. Etrian games, persona games, SMT games. I might grab one of them. Which of the SMT games should I try out for next years 5 release?

Or just any suggestions in general for those games

@NintendoByNature
If it's on sale, you have to grab yourself SMT 4 apocalypse and SMT Strange Journey - my favourite in the series.
Granted I haven't played a lot of SMT yet, the Persona Q games are also kinda fun but get boring real fast.

@NintendoByNature I’ll second SMT IV Apocalypse. I’m 50hrs in, and absolutely love it.

We had that Atlus sale in the EU last month or so. I picked up Persona Q and Etrian Odyssey Nexus as well. Kind of regret not getting Radiant Historia too. But I haven’t touched anything but SMT IV Apocalypse so far. Fabulous game.

@NintendoByNature Etrian Odyssey IV is absolutely the place to start for the EO series.

For SMT... IV: Apocalypse is more polished and beginner-friendly, but SMT IV will probably be tonally closer to SMT V. I say grab both games, if possible.

@Ralizah @Krull @Nephestinus thanks everyone. With those 3 recs I might just have to go with apocalypse.

This reminds me, I still need to play through Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology....I've heard the original DS game was one of the better JRPGs on the system.

Just finished my second playthrough of FE:Awakening after I beat it for the first time a couple years ago. What a great game this is!

@Tyranexx I'd recommend Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology for sure! It's a great JRPG with a unique combat system and has some top notch voice acting to boot. You certainly can't go wrong with 50% off.

I started my first Mario & Luigi game this evening. It's the Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions remake. I'm only about 90 minutes in and already enjoying myself! The combat is a bit on the easy side for me (so far anyway), but the writing, premise, and characters are all top-notch. Fawful's speech pattern is quite entertaining, as is Peach's new...explosive dialogue. XD

@Cynas Actually, I already own the game. The mention of that Atlas sale jogged my memory that RH:PC is still waiting patiently in the wings for me to boot it up. XD Glad to read it's definitely worth the time!

@Tyranexx I still need to play superstar saga myself( I have it on wii u vc tho)

@NintendoByNature I considered getting it on the Wii U VC as it would have been cheaper overall, but I also wanted the game in physical format and didn't mind giving the Bowser's Minions portion a try. Though I've read that it's best to balance out playing the latter of where you're at in the story vs. all at once. People seem to either love or hate the added content.

I continued my progress of Fantasy Life 3DS on New model as i have finished the game on Old model.
I have realized Fantasy Life save data was outside the cart as it has DLC that installed on 1 3DS machine.
I started over again on New 3DS machine and it was 6 years ago i have finished Fantasy Life on Old 3DS machine.

Well, I'm replaying Monster Hunter Stories. I got a few hours in and stopped before.

One thing confuses me, though: why do they speak the made up MH language in Stories 1, whereas they're very clearly speaking in English in the trailer for Stories 2? Very weird.

@Ralizah Voice acting in videogames is always a matter of budget

I've found that trailers aren't always reflective of the final product. Though I suppose MHS 2, as mentioned above, may have more of a budget this time around. Are there any stats out there online that disclose how many copies Monster Hunter Stories sold worldwide? Especially now that its popularity has temporarily went up after the announcement of its sequel. Kinda glad I picked it up when I did as I'm sure the price has went up a bit now with the demand. I think I paid about $25 USD for a new copy off of Amazon.

So, with a new Warioware game coming to the Switch, I thought it was high time to finally play my copy of Warioware Gold on the 3DS. And...

...it's a lot of fun! This format still works out really well. While the games themselves are stupidly simple, they remain engaging thanks to the speed at which you have to complete them, and there's an addictive arcade quality to completing missions, achieving new high scores in individual sections, etc.

Just pray that they ditch the awful handwriting/kanji reproduction microgames in the new one, because, good god, those are stupidly annoying.

WarioWare Gold really is worth it IMO, even if one has played many of the previous iterations of the series. Not only is it a worthy "Best Of" collection, but on top of that it also ships with a version of the "Gamer" mode from Game & Wario.

@Ralizah @Tyranexx I never got WarioWare Gold but I've been thinking of getting it from the eShop. I've played some of the WarioWare games (specifically Mega Microgames, Touched, and Twisted) and they're pretty fun. The other game I'd like to get is Kirby: Planet Robobot, I heard it's pretty much the best one out of all the Kirby games from the past decade. Been kind of in a 3DS mood lately, especially after revisiting Animal Crossing: New Leaf!
