So I finally beat Yoshi's New Island 100%. Of course, the special stages were exhausting. The game itself is not as good as the original and the music is awful, but there is some interesting level design. Now I can continue playing The Legend of Zelda (1986) for the first time. I am using a guide for the dungeon order and getting the most important items. The NES entries are the only two I had not played and the first game, like the first Final Fantasy and other debuts, has more recurrent elements than I expected. It's a fun experience (with restore points) and a history lesson.
Whew....
I have experienced with 3DS catridge stucked on booting screen after I tapped on the game app icon. It happened to my three 3DS cartridge from all of my 3DS cartridge.
Fortunately, I have solved the problem by deleting their update and extra data file then I redownload their updates from 3DS eshop and when I tapped again their game icon, it created new extra data file and it worked.
Anyway, I played Pokemon Alpha Sapphire and Yokai Watch 2 Bony Spirit for the maintenance.
The game itself is not as good as the original and the music is awful...
The music was the biggest letdown for that game. Its got a charming artstyle and it plays fine, but its abysmal that they chose to make nearly every level's theme be some slightly different version of the same theme. Not sure if I can bring myself to play it again knowing that every song is almost the same.
Just finished A Link Between Worlds again, in Hero mode... It has quite a touching ending now that I've revisited it. It also uses the 3D quite well, with a lot of emphasis on verticality. I used to dislike the item renting mechanic, but now I think its actually not that bad, though I would always end up getting enough rupees in the dungeon I was doing to just buy the next item I needed, I suppose the economy in that game is broken in that way.
Not sure what I'll revisit next, maybe New Super Mario Bros 2? I'd jump to Triforce Heroes, but I have nobody to play with.
Final Stats:
Rupees Found: 15269
Times Defeated: 35
Went to a local used game store, I got Heroes of Ruin, Tom Clancy's Shadow Wars 3D, and Star Fox Guard. Star Fox Guard and Heroes of Ruin are pretty good!
I've heard Heroes of Ruin is a bit of a hidden gem. It's like Diablo/Torchlight/Minecraft Dungeons, with skill trees, stats, and gear. The 3D effect is nice, but it's a bit framerate-y. If only it could take advantage of the New 3DS' extra power... (If I'm not mistaken, a jailbroken 3DS can force this)
I've heard Tom Clancy's is also pretty good, haven't got to it yet.
