The announcement for localization (sorry, Westernization LOL) of Ace Attorney 6 came quite swiftly after the announcement of the Japanese version and since the same can't be said for the Great Ace Attorney, it makes me a little sad. Even if a fan translation came out, I would have to buy a Japanese 3DS to play it, wouldn't I?

@DoctorWily It also appear that some games go on sale on Amazon such as the download code for Yoshi's New Island is only 15.99 right now.

@DoctorWily Some people have amazon gift cards and promo codes so it would be cheaper for them to buy off amazon instead of the eshop.

I just finished the incredibly long fifth and final Turnabout Trial in the first Ace Attorney which brings my total of completed Ace Attorney games to three, the others being Justice For All (Psyche Locks rule!) and Professor Layton Vs. Phoenix Wright (which I would love to see a sequel to, it's such a phenomenal game). If Capcom not localizing the too-Japanese DLC for Dual Destinies is any indication, it proves doubtful for The Great Ace Attorney's localization even though it's one of the only series that is a Day One buy for me.

@Lastar It's not a total loss for me since Project X Zone has the exact same battle system.

@Lastar What do you mean by 'licensed series'? Do you mean it has a tv show?

I've been killed over 500 times in Monster Hunter and I'm still playing. Think I can handle this game?

I love that the handhelds dominate. Think Super Robot Wars BX will be localized? The DS and GBA iterations were.

@Whopper744 Both the Wii U and 3DS versions of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate have the exact same amount of content except, of course, one is in High Definition and the other is in Stereoscopic 3D.

Looks good and it looks deep as in, philosophical.

I have the enhanced GBA version so it's a toss-up to get this one for 3D or play the GBA remaster with updated sprites.

I didn't know Professor Layton was moonlighting as a Monster Hunter storyteller! I don't know why I still wait for an opening to sharpen/take a Mega Potion in the same area as G-rank Yian Garuga. That thing will chase you until you DIE.

Playing the first game was better than my experience at the Disney store. The first game was one of those unlikely surprises where it may look like a kid's game on the surface, but its appeal lies in a solid all-around game. Obsessive collecting of materials? Check. Legitimately challenging action/adventure? Check? Crafting of creative & colourful foods, costumes, and furniture? Triple-check. Did I mention you can dress your Mii up in Disney costumes plus many more creative ensembles than just your standard Streetpass plaza outfits/hats?

Have players been attempting these dual-monster arena quests solo? Have they succeeded?

White Fatalis is DLC-exclusive. I'm so getting that. And no, I'm not looking for a greater challenge than that of the High Rank Furious Rajang, thanks.

@Kaze_Memaryu I loathed FF Tactics DS. I was playing it for a while until I realized, hey this is tedious! So I played something else and would forever tread cautiously near anything that mentioned FF Tactics. Maybe Mercenaries Saga won't be as tedious. I don't understand why these isometric tactics games can't just turn around 45 degrees and be straight up and down like Fire Emblem. You never know which way the cursor will move!

I finished Golden Sun: The Lost Age GBA years ago. It was a big, fun adventure with giant puzzle labyrinths and exciting rpg battles, not to mention some of the finest graphics on GBA. It was one of the very few RPGs I completed and I got the player's guide for it at the time and had a blast. From the makers of Mario Tennis!

A cool new hunting style would make for faster travel underwater and maybe equipping the hunter with jets on their leg armor to add speedier travel. I hope Capcom doesn't ignore underwater battles in future. I was imagining they'd do air battles next time. Underwater creatures are cool. And I can't wait to see Forest & Hills in 3D. I would love to see the Swamp and Jungle as well.

I would love this to happen in Canada, as well. Didn't the UK do something similar for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, as well? Over here, it came out to practically silence... Anyways, I didn't buy Tomodachi Life the first time it went on sale (it was either 32.99 or 27.99) but I'm definitely onboard for a second sale.

I bought Rune Factory 4 thinking it was the last game from Neverland so now I have to get this one, too. I'll wait for the $49.99 price to drop one of these days.

@ShortSleevedNook My jumping-on point for the series was 3 Ultimate and to this day I still prefer it over 4 Ultimate. I would start with either one if I were you. Look at a couple of videos of each game and play the one you prefer.

@Acarie Keep going, don't get discouraged! There is a massively rewarding experience ahead of you. And don't worry when you get killed by a monster the first time. I've gotten killed over 200 times and I completed the game SOLO. It took me two years but I would still play MH3U if I wasn't playing 4U right now. These are not the sort of experiences that can be rushed.

I would like to know if there are performance differences in the game between playing it on the 3DS and the New 3DS XL.

@PlywoodStick It doesn't matter to Nintendo that both versions can fit onto one game card. It's the gimmick.

Funny how there are two versions and yet Best Buy has a pre-order for only one and it's priced $49.99 CAD. I won't be happy if both versions cost $49.99 each. If they do, I'll only be getting Conquest, thanks. Having too much choice is a curse, anyways, not a virtue.

The masses might buy this game for Frozen on the cover, but I will be buying it for the excellent, enjoyable, and addictive game play as well as all the pretty sights and sounds.

I'm excited for this because the first game set a high precedent for the series so I have faith that the developer will stick to the formula. It seems like they kept a lot of the elements of the first game (Daisy's Shop, Chip 'n Dale's factory, 100-Acre Wood, and the café) and gave those a fresh coat of paint while adding new content. My only question is, how many of the costumes will be recycled for this sequel?

As a solo player, 3 Links sound better than 4 b/c there are less characters to manage than Four Swords and it probably reduces slowdown. Also, I'm to understand Link isn't in this game? The three brothers' concept and names are cute. I reconsidered my rejection of this game when I happened upon this article. The more you know... Plus who can resist cosplaying?

I only bought it for one reason: An excuse to wear the Disney Princess costumes. I created a female character just for that. I stayed, however, for the enjoyable Quest-Rewards/Materials-Costumes/Armor/Weapons gameplay. This is Monster Hunter injected with a large dose of Disney heroine, folks. It's not Animal Crossing: Disney World in the slightest. There's no relaxing involved. You're constantly running and travelling across worlds, gathering materials, cooking fantastical-looking foods, and slaying ghosts and boss ghosts to complete quests.

This needed to happen. There's so much to draw upon. The first game had areas based on Alice in Wonderland, Winnie the Pooh, Cinderella, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Aladdin. There are so many possibilities of other Disney films that could be featured in this game! An underwater Little Mermaid area, perhaps? This game is the bomb. So many items to collect and costumes and furniture to fashion. It also features a legitly challenging action-rpg element. For those who couldn't make it to Disneyland and find a trip to the Disney store unsatisfying as I did, this game is the best Disney experience without requiring you to pay too much. A really fun game with beautiful graphics. I hope they fix the slowdown in the overworld with this one as just b/c it's a kids game doesn't mean us grown-up kids don't appreciate a smoother frame rate. I did, however, appreciate that the action challenges were noticeably smoother.

Hey fansub groups, translate these please!

Loner here. If the single-player experience is good, I shall bite.

The themes are alright but it would be even nicer for The Great Ace Attorney to venture West I don't mind eshop-only releases, just give me the game!

You dopes. Hatsune Miku is the new mascot for SEGA now. Bow down to the green-haired goddess' rhythm games or else be forever playing average-at-best blue blur ones.

This looks great. There aren't many traditional RPGs on 3DS and the fact that ATLUS is publishing it means it will go on sale a lot more than any Square Enix-published games... More to the point, the formation gameplay reeks of Final Fantasy VI (you know, the interchangeable party members) and so I'm hyped!

The show's popularity will bolster the game's success whether it's a great game, or not.

@Goob Sonic Boom appears to be a tv show and so SEGA is not ignorant of the show's popularity, never mind that the previous instalment wasn't too great for some people.

My faves were 'Bee & Puppycat', Baman & Piderman', and 'Dinosaur Office' and a couple of the other cartoons.

@TrueWiiMaster Fantasy Life 2 is Fantasy Life 1.5 with a town area

Come on now, this post was not actually an official announcement. It's speculative and based on a ridiculous tweet by an XSEED staffer? Come on! Of course I will reserve the right to have my thoughts hyped when and after an official announcement is made. Otherwise, yes, I would get this game. It's another Level-5 collabo, is it not? I have resolved to look out for anything Level-5 develops.

@Zombie_Barioth This, I did not know, if what you have said is true. Monster Hunter just seems at home on the 3DS. It worked out for the best b/c 3DS got MH and the Vita got some wonderful MH knock-offs. I played MHFU after having played 3U on 3DS and I feel like the stereoscopic 3D effect added dimension (forgive the pun) that now feels like I can't play MH any other way now. It's making me wish for an MHFU 3DS port and you know it's possible now that they've rendered almost all the MHFU monsters in 3D for MH4U plus they're rendering the old villages for MHX, as well b/c I would love to see those areas in 3D.

@Ogbert You won't play MH but you'll play the spinoff? That's like wanting to play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon instead of Pokemon X or Y. To each his own, I guess.

@Donutman Yeah, Monster Hunter is the perfect handheld game that doesn't require you sit through long story sequences and levels. The 50 minute quest format matches handhelds well and like you said, you can do whatever you want, whenever you want: hunt, fish, gather, etc.

It's so interesting to see how these games have evolved. I see influences of phone games and dating sim/visual novels of which older FE titles already have. I don't know why I didn't enjoy Awakening as much. It added the marriage/children aspect from FE4, branching class choices from FE8, the barracks from FE2 and FE12, and even rendered older maps in stereoscopic 3D for DLC, not to mention the sheer amount of content. Maybe I have changed... Nah I think it was that Extra Money/EXP DLC that killed it for me. I was corrupted by my own greed...

Maybe Sony is sad that their original playstation franchise is expanding on their competitor's system? But then again, Nintendo probably NEEDED Monster Hunter. They're going to see this thing through until there's Monster Hunter amiibo (my guess is the amiibo figures will include a Rathalos).

If they release it as a New 3DS exclusive then this will be the game to force me to get one. I'm also surprised ppl are talking about an "MHXG" game but we'll only know for sure if this one only goes up to High Rank quests.

This is great for 3DS owners b/c it looked like we were never going to get another Warriors title since the launch-day release of the first one.

@willdmonky I would actually consider buying Fantasy Life 2 for Android if it came out in English depending on the price, however it appears to have the exact same areas as the first one so I'm not too sure. The version of FL we've got is FL 1.5 and this new one looks like another update. The village area looks reminiscent of other games of the simulation/resource management genre on phones, and may presumably be of higher quality but who knows?

This and other Level-5 games are highly polished, especially compared to Rune Factory 4 and the latest Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons.

I don't mind about Fantasy Life 2 on Android b/c the first game is hefty enough, can be played through 12 long and different ways if you were to complete all tasks in each job, and there's always a possibility for a 3DS port in the future. This title looks great but I'm curious as to how they would name it for English-speaking audiences. Popolocrois just doesn't sound like it has mass appeal.
