I am not much of a Nintendo guy nowadays, but played a lot of the N64 and especially Mario64 back then at a relatives. I had a WiiU for about a year, mainly for ZombiU which I really loved - I also think the current ports of this game are worse because they lack the Gamepad features.
Now I was ramping up my portable gaming, since having a Vita and starting to use it more I thought of mixing it up a bit and get into more Nintendo franchises finally. So I bought a New 3DS XL, upgraded the SD card and tried out a few demos (holy crap I need that Rhytm Heaven/Paradise game!!). I am quite happy with the system, while also being aware that every modern phone on the market has better hardware ;-) Quite annoyed about the late EU releases, especially with Picross 3D² and Rhytm Heaven, but what can you do...
I then kinda blindly bought those games from the eShop:
Resident Evil: Mercs 3D - long time RE fan, this is a neat game for short sessions.
Zelda: A Link Between Worlds - described below, my first real Zelda I guess.
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam - always was interested in the M&L RPG series.
Hyrule Warriors: Legends
I thought I might get Hyrule Warriors because I am also slowly getting into Musou games (excited for the Berserk game!) and I quite enjoyed the Dynasty Warriors Next demo on the Vita.
So I booted up Hyrule Warriors and what more should I say than that I really love it so far and it's my most played game on the system yet. At first I thought the graphics are crap, but I kinda do not mind them now since the gameplay is really good and satisfying, plus the art redeems it a bit.
I played 3 or 4 story missions and have done some adventure mode missions. I really do love how those adventure missions are presented and that mode might become my go-to mode. I am not always in the clear what to do, especially with the map and ordering other characters, but I have not failed a mission yet. I guess I should not be surprised about the lack of coop on the 3DS, but it would have been nice to have.
Despite it being standard stuff, I actually also enjoy the story so far and want to know more about the characters - having never seriously played a Zelda game until now (ALBW is neat so far, but did not have much time yet), I guess I am missing some of the fan-service KOEI pout into this.
Should I stick to story mode to unlock new characters or try to do this in adventure mode? Are the characters only available in story mode and vice versa? Also WOW does the framerate tank when you enable 3D! So I leave it disabled for sure.
As always with my threads I apologize for my English ;-) Impressions may continue with the other games as well and I am open for suggestions![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
