I prefer the look of the DS version, especially on a DSI XL. The DS version has a grittier feel, combat grid looks better (closer together) and is zoomed in a bit (bigger sprites) But the 3DS version has some nice improvements, like the map and the way you push objects around. Ive played both the DS and 3DS versions of Radiant Historia.
I’m glad Daemon X Machina is getting a sequel. The first game was cool. Fingers crossed this is a “Switch 2” game, 60fps higher resolution and more effects.
@HammerGalladeBro That’s a great idea! Nintendo should hire you for box art ideas. The inside art of Switch game boxes has been such a pleasant surprise this generation. With the loss of printed manuals and manuals on carts like on DS , 3DS and Wii U, the inside art almost makes up for it. If a Switch game doesn’t have inside art, I go digital.
@Jayenkai the GBA Mario VS DK game had an option for “GBA mode” and “GB Player mode”. The “GBA mode” had bright graphics and the “GB player mode” had darker graphics. Only Nintendo game I’ve seen that has this option.
@LavaTwilight no sarcasm here! I enjoy video game fun facts, especially when related to Box Art Brawls. I didn’t mean to put any pressure on you to find video game fun facts. If you have a fun fact to share that’s awesome. If you don’t have any fun facts to share, you are still awesome!
@LavaTwilight what a super cool fun fact! Merci beaucoup! Maybe you can give a Fun Fact every week on the Box Art Brawls articles. That would be awesome.
A classic brawl this week! I’m really curious now about other regions of the world like South America, Africa, Russia and what box art did they choose in those regions. Much fun these articles.
@Ogbert Yah you got it! Would be cool information to see. All the previous Box Art Brawl articles are available I believe. Good luck if you change your mind.
@Ogbert yes I saw your ideas in the first comment and I think they are good.
What I’m saying is for you to do the research and post comments with your research. So you need to add context to the numbers.
@Ogbert I suggest you provide a comment which details the improvements you think are necessary. It would be a great addition to Uncle Franklin’s totals. It would also probably be my second favourite comment on Box Art Brawl articles.
I can’t remember if Mario & Luigi games have been in Box Art Brawl before, but I hope they cover all of them. Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga remake was great on the 3DS. I’m sure Nintendo could do an awesome port for the Switch.
I’ve been slacking on this game. Got about half way through. Fun game with a horrible name. They should have called it “Strategy of the Triangle”. Still a bad name but sounds a touch better.
