Code Name: S.T.E.A.M and Monster Hunter 4U are my top 3DS games for next year, so I'd love some more info about release dates and how they are effected by the New 3DS. If the controls for Code Name: Steam move the gun movement to the c-stick, that pretty much sells me on a New 3DS.
And any Fire Emblem news is welcome. I really need to see how SMT x FE plays, is it SMT with Fire Emblem characters or FE with SMT characters. Hopefully it's an interesting combo of the two styles of gameplay.
@Iggly In my case I didn't want or need any Brachydios gems, but got 5 gems and 3 Palliums while helping a friend in a hour. Then it took me a month and a half to get 2 Nightmarish Maws from Gigginox hunts.
That Captain Falcon looks great, so I know my brother will be happy. I just need some really good Ike and Zero Suit Samus amiibos. I'd definitely think about getting Palutena too.
@ikki5 But but it's the unlimited play version =P. Some people are really hyped for Smash I guess. Wish I had more to give away since some want it more than I do.
@Rosstifer_Z Yeah the controls are giving me some trouble. Playing as Villager since none of the characters I play as are there (Bowser, Ike and Samus).
It's fun though (other than my little brother beating me with Link 5 times).
Not getting one until after Xenoblade comes out and they confirm more exclusives. Otherwise I'd have no reason to upgrade. I've always played MH3U without the second circle pad so that doesn't matter. If it makes a huge difference in Code Name STEAM, then I might think about it sooner.
I like the regular model a little more because of the face plates, but I'd get an XL if there are some special edition ones like the MH4 one coming out in Japan.
@Peach64 All 3 games you named were 3rd party games that basically are on sale after the first month. Bioshock is a year old, Ground Zeroes is a paid demo that never should have cost as much as it did in the first place, and Wolfenstein came out in May this year (at least in the US, if it came out later in EU I apologize lol) so that isn't surprising.
I've only had a WiiU for a month now so I can't say how sales on the eshop for it are, but 3rd Party on the 3DS eshop is similar. Atlus games are on sale for half off every 2-3 weeks, and we just had that sale on Capcom games for both 3DS and WiiU.
Exactly why I didn't think Chrom or Lucina (still kinda disappointed that shes a clone) would be in the game. Robin i'm happy with because they added a magic user. If they were gonna add another FE it needed to one that wasn't a sword user. I think Hector (Thunder Axe), Shinon (Marksman), or maybe Lyon would have been better FE choices over a clone.
Ike and Samus when they release. Zero Suit Samus and Palutena depending on how they look. Edit: And Rosalina! Forgot about my favorite Mario character.
@Tsurii897 I'd bet on Agitha using an umbrella like she has in this picture http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Agitha . If she has that she'll probably use some moves similar to Okuni from the Samurai Warriors games, and have some unique moves mixed in.
@Einherjar Maybe thats true, but it probably has more to do with the fact that in Japan (where it sells the most) handheld gaming is more popular and the 3DS has a larger install base.
Either way I'm glad, since we barely got this one. MH4 came out last September with no western release date, and if not for MH3U selling as well as it did I doubt we would have got MH4U as soon as we are. We got MH3U a year and a half after the Japanese release, and we are getting MH4U in what looks like 6 months (hopefully less) after the Japanese release.
@GuSolarFlare As someone whose played 300 or so hours on 3DS MH3U without a circle pad pro, I can say MH4U should be fine. When I first got the game everything I read said underwater would be a hassle without one, but it never was a problem after my first 2 Lagiacrus.
@Bryon15 Website still says Summer 2014 with no exact release date (last time i check earlier last week), so hopefully we'll hear something about it during July.
@JellySplat Are you talking about a specific manga/anime or just generalizing?
and @PvtOttoBot pervy old dudes are a trope and are for jokes. Before DBZ became a serious fight manga it was mostly comedy in Dragon Ball were the whole master Roshi thing started (and he appears far less in DBZ because its less comedy focused), same goes for Jiraiya that part of his personality is just based on that trope.
I'm still hoping we will hear about Azure Striker Gunvolt soon. It has a Summer 2014 release and I hope there is an update on that soon.
Definitely getting Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 1+2 ,Smash 4 and Alpha Sapphire. Sonic Boom (3DS) and Watch Dogs I'm gonna wait for reviews of from multiple sites before I consider buying them. Captain Toad is just a wait on price point (though I'm still gonna consider if it's $60 as long as the Reviews are good).

Re: Guild Quests Could Change the Way We Enjoy Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
@Einherjar No, MH4 and MH4U are 3DS only.
Re: Guild Quests Could Change the Way We Enjoy Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
@Hy8ogen I'd like a Wii U version but we barely even got a western release for the game, so I can live with it.
@GuSolarFlare Yeah If you use Bowguns or Bow water battles suck. I can't imagine trying to do a G rank Plesioth with either.
