All about the Nintendo 3ds non xl.

Funnily enough I just bought one on ebay yesterday and am going to sell my old one. Didnt realise how fantastic my timing was to jump back in!

@Suketoudara I think this is the second time I've made the effort to log in just to specifically like a post reply you've done to anti-matter

Fantastic news. Amazing game ^^

Finally completed everything I wanted to in fantasy life… am hero rank on all gathering and crafting lives + merc life. Loved the 120+ hours I’ve spent with the game but I’m gonna need to break away from it for the rest of the holiday season even if the new DLC has just dropped.

I’m now juggling diddy Kong racing (approaching the final boss in adventure mode on my analogue 3D) and have dipped my toes into Pokemon ZA to be pleasantly surprised at how fun it is, which will be my two core games for the rest of the break.

Elsewhere my wife and I are playing For The King 2 whilst enjoying every moment with our 1.5 weeks old baby daughter <3

I’ve also got snowboard kids 1 in the rafters to inject a little xmas cheer for the next few days!

Happy gaming (and holidays!) all xx

This has been my game of the year , so I’m very excited to jump back into this after just maxing out all of the crafting gathering and mercenary lives last week. Merry Xmas all!

Had my eye on this. Will give it a whirl soon. Thanks for the review, I enjoyed it

My analogue 3D arrived! This weekend has been:
Diddy Kong Racing - now fighting for the third amulet in adventure mode and having a fantastic time

Fantasy life - end game grind to fight a boss with rare drops to allow me to achieve hero rank in the last two lives, at which point I will take a break from the game to play others as this has had me in a headlock since August

Happy gaming everyone!

@Eduard_Brenton “greetings fellow video games enthusiasts” has now been read enough times by me over the years that it’s actually giving me a warm and fuzzy feeling close to “hello lovely peeeeeople” when I read it every Saturday

Making more progress on ZA. Fun so far but haven’t sunk enough in to fully open up yet.

This is mainly cos I’m still distracted heavily by the fantastic fantasy life i post game on switch 2. I’ve now almost got hero rank in every gathering and crafting class after a big session the last two nights. The goal is to have hero rank in gathering and crafting and mercenary and then take a break and catch up on some other games so I’m in a great place for the DLC this December.

I have DKB, sunderfolk, FE engage and Tony hawk 3+4 waiting in the rafters too…!

Happy gaming all! X

@Pillowpants honestly… most people I speak to have the same reaction (and hours) as you do… so don’t worry, I’m the problem 😅😛

@Pillowpants as someone who had never played a persona game before and started on P5R, and completed it this year, I couldn’t agree more that it was too long (despite being incredible).

The game for me took 200 hours (I did a lot of tinkering to get the strongest personas for the final boss and took me generally a while to get my head around the mechanics!) and honestly I just think a shorter experience would not have dampened it. I could not believe that I had still not finished the story and had done 200 hours at my final save!

Have put down my 100 hours+ fantasy life i save (achieved hero rank on all gathering and crafting classes + mercenary class, just now trying to beat the final hero quests which for the most part have been ok, bar trying to find a few very rare drop mats from treasure grove!) and am now taking a detour to Kalos to revisit Lumiose city 10 years after my first adventure there. I’m not that far in yet but I think i will enjoy. Should a game from the highest grossing media franchise be a bit better than what’s on display? Yes. Is it still fun and am I enjoying the story & gameplay mechanics regardless? Yes.

Happy gaming all x

Looking forward to picking it up tomorrow. For all those who are playing, I hope you enjoy it too.

@topsekret

Question:
Did your response make me laugh out loud

Answer:
Yes it did 😂

@DennyCrane I’ve been reading this site since 2014 and Im pretty sure your comment here is the coolest comment I’ve ever read. Amazing.

@topsekret has antimatter rebranded as topsekret?

This is so much earlier than I expected! Amazing news. Have adored this game and am nearing the end, with all my lives except the crafting classes on hero. Looks like I need to get them to hero rank too by December to get ready for this!

@NotASockPuppet @NotASockPuppet the first thing you literally said to him was “What a load of nonsense speech.” How would you feel if you received that? I wouldn’t feel too great… by the way the person responded, it’s clear they didn’t feel great about it…

I agree it’s too expensive, I am also a fanboy (like yourself, or you wouldn’t be on this site so regularly), im just tired of entitled gamers like you thinking people can’t have an alternative opinion to yours without being dubbed a fanboy or just being told their wrong so bluntly.

Gaming is luxury. Things cost money. In 99% of cases, companies will always try and extract as much as they can of they know they have something valuable, like this IP. I get why some people are happy to pay. I am not.

You need a reality check if you think the vocal minority on this site are the ones that are “creating a monster” or even on the other end rejecting how much it costs. Nintendo prices this on the mass market and they know it’s probably going to sell very well or they wouldnt do it. I wish they didn’t, but that is the truth.

I have no issue with your actual point, just please consider that other people deserve respect if they have a differing opinion to yours.

@neogyo preach lol

@NotASockPuppet he’s not giving them the go ahead mate, it’s his opinion, which he is entitled to. Stop telling him his opinion isn’t valid and he’s wrong. I actually agree with your opinion more than his but it’s just annoying you think you have the arrogance to shut him down.

Honestly these Mario galaxy pricing articles are going to be the death of this community

@electrolite77 well said right back at you!

@electrolite77 I’m so relieved you wrote this because if you hadn’t I was going to. It’s such a misguided comment.

I totally understand why people are upset about the price, and I also agree they are over priced, but at the end of the day games are a luxury and the price is indeed subjective. We are a tiny vocal minority and I think people feel more entitled then they should often about this subject, and it’s also very sad to see people throwing their fellow community members under the bus for blindly “defending Nintendo” (which is hilarious to me because you’re on essentially a Nintendo fan site lol, but I digress).

I think this is too much money subjectively to me personally so the game is not worth it. But I am just going to accept that, accept this product isn’t for me and just move on.

I come here to feel joy and talk about video games and enjoy the community but it’s just so exhausting how often the talking point is around how much things cost and/or toxic chat bringing others down. Complain about pricing all you want but please can we do it without it becoming a place people can’t have a differing opinion without being rude?

Again, I share the same opinion about it being overpriced as many of you, I just think some people could benefit from considering the above thought.

For all those who purchase, enjoy it. For those who don’t, fair play for voting with your wallet.

Not much gaming this weekend as am having my kitchen fitted so house is a building site but where I can, continuing my conquest for hero class in all lives in fantasy life i + trying to finish sunderfolk with the wife. Happy gaming all x

Respect to how sega have approached this release as a publisher, but really struggling to understand why joker from persona is in this game lol

@JaxonH thanks for the extra info. Gives me even more incentive to enjoy it on my switch 2!

@JS_Comics thanks very much for the heads up sir. Sadly I’m a pretty die hard physical guy but appreciate this regardless

Morning sports fans.

I’ve had a fantastic week away in Italy to celebrate my 35th (gulp) birthday, which meant lots of gaming:

-I sunk 60 hours into Fantasy Life i, which was the game I bought myself for my birthday/ holiday treat. I rolled credits yesterday and am now chipping away at getting all of the shrines in ginomorsia and maxing all my lives to hero rank. The majority of my lives are on expert. I had the original on 3DS but this one really has grabbed me and I adore it. Looking forward to the DLC and still LOADS left to do in the post game.

-My wife and I have been plugging away in Sunderfolk, which is a tabletop style SRPG in a fantasy setting, you play as an animal character with a specific class which you can choose from. Naturally I’m a giant polar bear tank, lol. The whole campaign is co-op. We are 35 hours in and have been loving it. We are approaching the final act now and the story is picking up. This is a must play for fans of For The King.

-If I have time, the wife and i are going to start DK Bananza, our freshly ordered physical copy has seen no love yet, and we will do co-op from the start. It’s not usually my wife’s type of game but she wants to play as Pauline whilst I’m DK just to experience it.

Happy gaming everyone!

I think I’m gonna hunt down a cheap second hand copy of two, as i was excited by 3 and have always wanted to get into monster hunter more generally. It might be a good easy introduction to the franchise in general.

I wish I was for excited for this but I’m not the biggest Kirby guy. I’m praying if this got the resurrection treatment there is hope for f-zero… that’d be a day one for me

@Whirlwound yeah that’s a dramatic difference. Well, god speed! Hope you unlock mirror mode soon!

@Whirlwound I just finished all GPs with three star and can tell you it was MUCH harder than any other iteration of MK I’ve owned. I enjoyed the challenge but at the same time I’ve been playing MK for 25 years!

@roy130390 well said

@Anti-Matter I was on the fence about buying it, I’m so happy I did. It’s excellent. Hope you are enjoying!

I have FINALLY finished my 200 hour play through of persona 5 royal. Absolutely adored the game and the ending and whilst I will miss being in that world with those characters I feel a sense of relief to have finished it and try something new.

Since then, Fantasy life i has got me in a headlock. I’ve owned it less than a week and have sunk 30 hours in already. Had the first one on 3ds, which I enjoyed, but this one has got me hook line and sinker.

I’m on holiday and it’s my birthday so happy days, been getting up extra early before my wife to play it haha.

Happy gaming all!

Played the first game and enjoyed it a lot but found the end somewhat deflating and intimidating because the post game content was incredibly hard. It kinda put me off playing the second which I guess is a shame. I wonder whether I should give it another try? A lot of people here really praising it!

@fluggy mate… my thoughts EXACTLY. God speed sir

@HugoGED I can tell you that it IS too difficult if you’re going for 3 stars on everything. Accomplishing 3 stars on all GPs honestly was more effort than my degree. And don’t even get me started on 3 starring knockout tour rally’s… I now have a glimmer of hope 🥹🥹🥹

This weekend is all about:
-Sunderfolk with the mrs. We’ve been loving this game, doing the whole game in coop with two characters each. Highly recommended for anyone looking to scratch that tabletop fantasy rpg itch.
-MKW. Half way through 3 starring every gp in mirror mode. Trying to do one or two a day so I don’t get too frustrated.
-Splatoon 3. Just bought this and slowly but surely going through the story mode.
-MK Wonder. Slowly but surely going through the second world.

I’ve put my 200 hour effort on P5R on hold for now despite being on the precipice of the very end of the game as I’m just in a Nintendo mood rn.

Also, Bananaza will be happening but me and my wife will do it in coop together in a couple of weeks when we are on holiday!

Happy gaming all! X

Excited to try this! And I will once I’m done with splatoon 3 story mode and PS5R.

So nice to have a meaty first party one player experience to dive into on my switch 2.

I did wanna dive into fantasy life sw2 upgrade too, so might not be day one on DKB but will defo pick it up over Summer (physical of course!). Pleased to see it got great reviews and looking forward to feeling that same delight as the first time I played Odyssey. Enjoy all!

This weekend it’s all about:
1 - 3 starring mirror mode on MKW
2 - finishing up the second world in Mario Wonder
3 - finishing the second half of the last palace of P5R (after 195 hours of playtime and a file I started in 2020)

Happy gaming everyone

@Lizuka a 4/10? Come on dude…. I agree with your gripes about it and I get that opinions are subjective but this is not a 4/10 surely… it’s a quality game that failed to hit what should have been a 10/10 mark expectation imo

Edit: just saw your response to a similar question. Ok fair enough. Maybe you should just use everyone else’s scale lol?

@invictus4000 preach. This is exactly how I feel!

@BlaizeV your thoughts sum up exactly how I feel. I love Mario kart and I’m enjoying this game but I just can’t help but feel it’s not lived up to my expectations from a one player/ open world experience specifically. I hope they rectify that in the future, but for what the game costs out the gate it’s frustrating that this will likely be locked behind a paywall or the Nintendo sub.

Regardless, enjoying it and will continue to.

@The_Nintend_Pedant wow mate you must get very hot for stability updates 🥵🥵🥵

MINE HAS ARRIVED LFGGGGGG

@Grim so I will caveat this by saying I play games extremely slowly, but regardless… it’s HEFTY. Also it was my first persona whereas you seem well versed. I reckon you’ll go faster than me. Enjoy mate, it’s an amazing game!

@Grim hey man. As a man that is desperately trying to wrap up P5R before switch 2 hits (I have been playing it since 2020 on and off and am half way through the final palace, pray for me) for the most part the pattern is you can blitz through the palaces in one session and send the calling card and then you return on a second session to fight the boss.

It is a fantastic game, one of the best I’ve ever played, but the royal content has almost killed me lol. its a staggering amount of content and story, I’m 185 hours in!

Apart from that I’m playing link to the past on my GBA, just cleared the first dungeon. Delightful game which has much more in common lore wise with BOTW/ TOTK than I was expecting

Happy gaming ninfriendo fam xx

NEVER ENOUGH QUESTIONS NL!

Cannot wait.

Picking up from my local Currys during lunch break and then immediately taking it on the road with me to Cornwall for my 2nd cousins wedding. I don’t have much time to play it but all good, I’ll get a few hours in and then go hard the weekend after!

We’re almost there guys, see you in MKW 🚗💨

They deserved it imo. Completely spoiled it for me and stole a precious moment from Nintendo. Make an example of them!
