This was my first ever game on my GBA SP (NES edition) and is still, to this day, is one of the best games I’ve ever played! It’s what got me into Fire Emblem: Fates (after I saw that it was created by the same company of Intelligent Systems so I knew that it was a mark of quality gameplay already) and am overjoyed that it’s FINALLY getting a rerelease on a modern platform (after the 3DS was bypassed but it’s ok,there’s FE and also the DS sequels of Advance Wars such as Dual Strike which are easily available). A must-buy for any self-respecting gamer!

Hitting up Ghostbusters: The Video Game and Spider Man: Edge Of Time...recent movies have put me in a nostalgic mood of late. Oh and Smash Bros as per usual.

I was wondering when this would finally come. The last DSi games I bought were Pucca’s Noodle Rush and Mario’s Cement Factory. I did want to buy Bomberman but frankly it’s too expensive seeing that it’s only a DSI ware and not a full 3DS title. The cost of some of these games are far too high, you’d think they’d be discounted in relation to sales performance or just general economics and dated they are now but no....

I play my 3DS daily and am enjoying getting second hand 3DS games for it still, not to mention DS games too!! And like everyone else said... THE 3DS WILL NEVER DIE!!!

The 40% discount on this in the My Nintendo Rewards is still lingering....the lack of online makes me wonder to just buy a couple of Virtual Console games in the eShop instead...at least there won't be the massive void of online play there... I'll see if my mind changes by Christmastime.....
P. S Oh and a new Advance Wars PLEASE!!!!

I quite like the dynamism of the NA/EU cover but can see how lovely appealing the cherry blossoms are. I bought this game a few months ago (Japan version only) so I should really get back into it. Marvelous little gem🤗

Hmm.... Still undecided on this one... Maybe I'll chuck some quid at it next time it rolls around discounted on the eshop...

Playing my newly-acquired Monster Hunter 3 Tri for the Wii which i just bought for ¥92 (70p) in mint condition😁🎮 Otherwise on the rest on the weekend's menu is Super Street Fighter IV (3DS) and Super Smash Bros (3DS) and Sadame (3DS)

After playing the MH3, MH4, and MHGens. demos on my 3DSXL every now and then, I finally bit the bullet and thought to get stuck in MH properly so just bought this for ¥92 (70p!!!) at a second hand shop in mint-condition for my old Wii...a bargain for such an amazing game!! Once I've gotten the best of it, I may get MH Generations Ultimate for the Switch along with a switch😅🎮

I knew this day would come...this is officially the beginning of the end, once Nintendo announce the discontinuation of 3DS eShops in certain regions then the rest of the world will follow, Japan Europe and the US being the last ones standing.
I very recently transferred my 3DSXL to a New 3DSXL (due to the screen hinge being broken) it took 24 hours (all wireless, NNID and SD transfers as well as all my software) but I have zero regrets and love my 3DS even more😍🎮.
As long as Nintendo continues the online support for 3DS for another 10 years then I'll be happy🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

Just bought it on the eShop (UK) sale last week for around a fiver!! Total bargain since I already have Shin Megami Tensei IV and still think it's one of the best 3DS games ever!! I was trying to choose between Apocalypse and SJ Redux and think I'm pleasantly happy with the choice I made😊

I'm completing my pokédexes across Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, and Alola and making deposits at my Pokémon Bank as i'm collecting and trading away on Pokémon Platinum, White, Y, and Moon

I'm completing my pokédexes across Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, and Alola and making deposits at my Pokémon Bank as i'm collecting and trading away on Pokémon Crystal, Platinum, White, Y, and Moon

Pokémon Crystal that I bought on the 3DS eShop last week. Massive nostalgia boost! 👍🏾

I choose YOU....for dinner!! 🤣 😋

@sikthvash Ditto (lol) It'll probably be something called Pokémon Mace or Lance 🤣 by that time there'll hopefully be a better choice of Switch Lite designs or, even better, an updated Switch (like the Wii U was to the Wii)

....oh,and an updated OS with themes and Streetpass please😌🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

It's as I suspected...the hype on certain welcome points in refreshed game mechanics aren't enough to mask the crappy stale ones. Pokémon Moon was pretty underwhelming overall and I didn't have the heart to undertake Alola again in Ultra so until the 'next' edition/updated version comes out (Pokémon Mace or Pokémon Lance perhaps?😆), I'll be playing my newly bought Pokémon Crystal in the meantime....😜

I've always been a Water-starter user since Pokémon Blue and since I was into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ('Hero' for us 90s gen in the UK), it was a natural choice for me to pick the turtle (and name him Kamehameha😁). But in the anime and merch I always thought the design was overrated but got better with Wartortle and Blastoise🐢. BUT, Totodile is still my fav all-round hence my vote here🐊. Froakie 🐸and Popplio are too simple and that's a bit of a grip I have with the 3DS versions. Oshawott🐚 and Chespin🌰 are just too random to have a good connotation and Piplup🐧 was just a wee too boring to get going on it. Mudkip is prob the most common starter that I harvest egg-wise.

Wow... So far so good.. I dunno why they didn't just start off from here in the first place than needing to over-humanise him in the first movie design 🤢. Moreover, there's the modern look from the games incorporated too👍🏾 Game Match Sega🎮

I bought my first ever M&S game a few months ago: "Mario & London at the 2012 London Olympics" for the 3DS so am looking forward to playing that. Otherwise the only 1 great thing I'd say about this installment is the retro games mode. But it's rather lame of SEGA to overlook the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics to deliver an underpar version after such a long wait....

All I can say is game over 🤣🤣🤣

@RareFan That or Wind in The Willows😆 I'll take these evolutions as confirmed rather than rumours thanks. There have already been a few exclusive playable betas around now eg. Pokémon Centre London so at this point so close to the actually game's release date it's not so much a leak as a 'leak'🙄 NL knows this too hence happily splashing this out all over this very page =T

Awesome news!! I was truly gutted of not being able to attend the Pokémon pop-up Centre in London but this makes up for in some way👍🏾 Will pop down to Tokyo later this month.....

FINALLY!! My dream came true! 😍 I've had an original GB, GB Pocket, and GBASP so this was a natural expectancy. I'm first and foremost a handheld gamer so when i recently went over my Game Boy games collection (when i was back home in the UK this summer) i was actually seriously considering getting a GB Micro (here in Japan) for better portability for my GBA games (also because there aren't any on the 3DS eShop😭) but this Analogue Pocket is a wish come true!! To play on the TV is the clincher for me👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Omg...so pumped for this one, I’m absolutely adoring all the British stuff that they’ve put in..brings a tear to my eye🤩so far we’ve seen Cotswolds, Lake District and County Durham inspired locations but I suspect they’ll be some Welsh valleys and some pebbly beaches ahoy too😉
In the meantime, I’m just completing my National Pokédex in Pokémon Y and falling in love with the series again (Pokémon Moon left me a bit cold overall) while I breed mareeps for my Pokémon Bank account....🐑🐑🐑

It's the first Olympics at home Japan has had in the modern video games era so of course they are going to go all out on this one. My personal fav is the retro part😍🎮👍🏾
(on an alternative note: Surfing at the Olympics??? 🤨)

Ahhhh... Missingno... How many times did i catch it on Pokémon Blue on my Game Boy to get l.100 pokémon hehehe😁I remember going to my friend's house to play Pokémon Stadium on his N64 and Missingno then popped up as a Starmie but with incredibly weak defence! 🤣

I first bought Steamworld Heist a while back and was completely overjoyed so I recently bought Steamworld Dig 2 but haven't had time to get into it recently but the little I've played was again, a succulent delight, and one I'll definitely take my time to indulge and savour accordingly. That's how good the gameplay is👌🏾🎮

It's just a precaution of course but to be honest no-one knows how rough the typhoon will be when it passes. The weather has been crazy of late here in Japan. Will you go @Heavyarms55?

Been pumped up all week by all things Pokémon so I'm going off to ranch and reap the lands of Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, and Alola for my Pokémon Bank by hitting up Pokémon Platinum, White, Y, and Moon. Anyone want to add my FC for the Friend Safaris or online matches go for it😊🎮

I’ve been slowly but surely getting excited about Pokémon Sword and Shield so this weekend i’m revisiting Kalos and Alola with a short detour to Unova after stopping by my Pokémon Bank to make a withdrawal then hitting up Pokémon Y and Pokémon Moon as well as Pokémon White. Anyone want to boost up their Friend Safari add me😃

Anything with Slavic humour definitely seems worth a look in😄

Rival Turf seems rather ok considering the year (1992) and judging by the screenshots of the game I can't see much reason to complain.
But as for Karnaj Rally and Virtual Chess 64: 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Lazy design is one thing but producing such visual cowpats is a crime.

So now begins the slow array of forthcoming updates to make the app a proper Mario Kart game😑 They'll come with all the speed of a falling Tetris block at Level 3 but with only a fraction of the satisfaction of a complete line because it's too flipping long!!Why not release the complete game from the off, rather than dangle future content with one hand and sicker-punch and rob us with the other!? (Gold Pass ×cough cough×)🤪

I think someone in marketing got hit by a rogue koopa shell to go ahead with such a foul plan.
£5 as a one-time payment = can work
£5 per month = 🙄🤬🤬🤬

Anyway, the only 2 apps I actually bother with are Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp and Fire Emblem Heroes as they're sufficient for a quick play and when I don't have my 3DSXL at hand and also they earn Nintendo Points (although they're pretty worthless in itself nowadays but that's for another thread...)

Meanwhile, Mario Kart 7 is still selling well with New 2DSXL packages with all the trimmings. I don't like to pay to play unless it's for a proper console🎮

Still wasn't impressed from the 3DS version screenshot.. Hmmm.... 🤔

I'm a wee bit apprehensive of chucking money at Nintendo apps. The only one that's working well money-wise is Super Mario Run and ACPC. Fire Emblem Fates and Dr.Mario World are a bit meh in that respect. But Mario Kart Tour does looks potentially interesting..

@Bass_X0 So did this come to the 3DS in the end then?

@Alucard83 it's just a pimped up Game Boy for the 21st century 🤣

Now I feel a lot better after losing to the arcade of Championship Edition and then later on the Super Street Fighter II arcade on the Sealink ferry to France once upon a time.
Still, cheapness has always been a part of Street Fighter (strong kick slides anyone? 😝)

I remember when the first one came out, I was decidedly unimpressed and despite the fantastic Rik Mayall doing the advert, I still wasn't sold. Then I borrowed it from my friend from school a year later..... Omg, i was blown away!! The simple cover was so misleading, if anything it tripled the whole gaming experience of it. Apart from the name, logo, and sword and shield, the 13 year old me didn't know what great surprises were in store. When the DX cover came out I now thought "Less is more"

It still works.
🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺✌🏾
Also,the Chinese cover of the original blasts the Japanese DX out of the water. The Japan cover must've been the result of a lost drunken bet..🍶

Thought this weekend i’d polish off my Pokédexes by hitting up the Pokemon Bank and play Pokémon Y and Pokémon Moon .Also enjoying a lengthy mission in Steamworld Heist and not taking the online cheapness too seriously in Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition
P.s @Anti-Matter How did you upload pics??😮 Terima kasih!

Just fired it up on my New3DSXL🇯🇵 last month but have still yet to play it.. 😅

Nah, not for me... I'm still enjoying my New 3DSXL far too much and it's better handheld than the Switch Lite in terms of gamer experience. For me, the deal breaker would have to be Streetpass and themes, something that took a while to come to the 3DS in the first place so I can imagine it'll be a while before Nintendo finally wises up and upwards its Switch OS with those.
Also I'm not too taken by the designs🤔. The Pokémon one looks the best but I'm pretty sure they'll wheel out much better colour schemes and designs soon, just look at the varieties of GB, GBASP, and 3DSXL that we've had, and that's not even including region-specific ones.

Biding my time and enjoying the 3DSXL for my portable gaming for now.... 😉🎮

@Heavyarms55 The Zelda one looks rather decent actually... The tokens look pretty awesome too.

I'm confused... It didn't come with a copy of the original Game Boy cartridge... did it?? So why the couply pics? 😑

It was only a matter of time before they did a Sonic The Hedgehog Monopoly. The question is:why did it take so long?? Nothing to do with the upcoming film surely(?) Anyway, it looks good but I'dve still preferred the more traditional format but I guess it works well in the gamer vein.

@gamefreak77 As much as I agree with about Nintendo being stupidly coy about the actual status of the 3DS/2DSXL, it’s not dead yet. The 2DSXLs are still the top handheld seller here in Japan and a lot of games are being ported, be they by update versions or sequels to the Switch. Since the Switch Lite is launching imminently, with the new Pokémon around the corner too, they’re mainly focusing it on small points without addressing the elephant in the room. The interface software of the Switch is still way behind the current one for the 3DS so until they do a decent uphaul with at least everything the 3DS has (themes, folders, streetpass even😅, etc.) then it’s still not the successor.

I reckon it's a Brexit.. You can tell by the mess😆
