I'm gonna have Dream Team
in my hands next week. For what it's worth, out of the M&L saga I've only played Partners in Time and I loved that game. Also the only two other mario rpgs I've played are SMRPG (which I also loved) and Paper Mario (which bored me and so I stopped around Chapter / World 3). Here's hoping I enjoy M&L 4 as much as 2.
Bros.
I strongly suggest you to get the other two entries, they're incredible quality and way better than POT (which is a good game, but SS and BIS are something else)
I'm glad that some people got so much out of it. I hope that the series continues, but hopefully the next game is not 40 hours and they pare down the tutorials.
I think there is a good game buried under there, I just didn't have the patience for it when it offered so little over the last 3 games. As great as BiS and SS were, I had to force myself through the last couple hours and those were half the length.
Thanks for posting the positive detailed write-up though. I would hate to be the sole voice advocating against buying the game.
The other two are much better games, but PiT is really short and has the most satisfying iteration of the battle system, so I could see someone liking it the best out of all 3.

Thanks for all the words about Dream Team. I am just having a hard time fathoming a 50+ hour-long Mario RPG. Is there a lot of padding ie. grinding and dialogue? Or just a particularly long quest like Dragon Quest 7?
I really really am enjoying Dream team. Didn't really find it handholdy either, not really sure why it gets that hate. I mean they do explain most things once but then it's done and the dialogue is fun.
I'm at the last dungeon and really loved it.

I think I probably played somewhere around 25-30 hours
believe I've almost finished Mount Pajamaja
Anyway, it's just a long game. It didn't feel padded to me, just long. You can skip the tutorials, so don't worry about getting bogged down with dialogue. The dialogue is often funny and enjoyable to read anyway. The music and atmosphere is great and often beautiful.

bad gameplay lol
I got the silver XL that comes with Dream Team, and I still didn't want to play it. Like, I played a couple hours of it? Didn't really enjoy it though, and probably won't ever go back to it unless I'm terribly, terribly bored.

I burned my 3ds bottom screen. Here to inform it is slightly blemished (clouding / bubbling about the size of a cig cherry) but still fully functional.
I know, I'm an idiot and need to quit smoking.

So I just recently upgraded to the XL and I'm now totally into the eshop games.
Got myself Color 3D and Crashmo. Now I'm looking onto my list and can't decide for one or two more games:
SteamWorld Dig (i think i have it on steam already :/)
Mighty Switch Force 1 / 2 (which one to get?)
Liberation Maiden
HarmoKnight (Is it worth the 15?)
GAF please help me decide!

HarmoKnight is pretty good. It's a rhythm platformer, and the music and 3D effects are prettttty neat. I'd have recommended Steamworld Dig but you already have that on Steam so no need to double dip when there's new stuff on offer here.
Ye, that's why I hesitate with Steamworld Dig.
HarmoKnight had a pretty nice demo, but the price is turning me off to buy it instantly
Magicpaint

Yeah the price is definitely a little steep given the content on offer.
Thats what I'm talking about
Anything else one might pick up, besides the games the topic and me already mentioned?

I love Gunman Clive and it's just £2. Great visual style, music and decent sense of challenge. Also Attack of the Friday Monsters is a very charming experience, although there's not much "gameplay" to it.

I am wondering if anyone else thinks Code of Princess is under-apreciated. I was glad to see a lot of in depth talk about builds etc on gamefaqs; this is a good indication of how good a game is IMO. There seems to be the outlines of an online play comunity with character tiers etc...
Having played it, I am suprised I did not hear a lot more of it before. Very fun.

I just impulsively bought a 3DS and was looking for a neogaf thread for it and this is the best I could find... I got it because I was dying to play Mario 64 on a mobile device and so far I have enjoyed playing it a lot. I was skimming Amazon for a cheap game. I have been itching to play a Spider Man game. Is the first Amazing Spider Man at least somewhat fun or is it total trash? Thinking of picking it up for 8 bucks.
Any other must haves are welcome, thanks!

Its MUCH better than the second one atleast but still nothing to brag about. Everything about the game is the same as the console counterparts minus the obvious graphics downgrade and it not being open world. combat, story and etc are all still in tact
Theres a demo on the eshop, try it out

Oh cool, didnt know about the demo, thanks!

No, sorry. That would be SMTIV.
that's the weirdest Kid Icarus Uprising spelling I've ever seen!

Touché. As a southpaw, though, I had trouble getting into it.

Is anyone here used gamefly to rent 3DS games? I wanna play so many games but I can't afford to buy them all. Plus the fact that some single player games like Zelda I won't be replaying much, so I can't justify 40 dollars for each of these if I'm only planning on playing them for a couple weeks each.
Edit: I resigned up, I still don't wanna buy OoT 3d knowing its the same game and I own the VC version on the Wii.

Does anyone know if they have an action replay/gameshark/code breaker for the 3DS now? I have been away from the system and all I can find is a power saves thing from AR?
I know not quite a game, but still thought this was the best place.

I am, it improves so much over 3, the graphics are MUCH better, the music also improved alot, the gameplay gets a twist with the summon thing, the dub its still pretty average. overall im having alot of fun with it.
Alright thanks man, the graphics seem so much better than before.

How friendly is SMTIV to new comers to the series?
I'm done with Bravely Default and I'm looking for something else to keep me going for a long time. It's a toss-up between that and the last Zelda game, and as good as the praise of Zelda is, it's still Zelda - feel like I've been there, done that. Can't really think of anything else atm on the 3DS that might interest me unfortunately, seems a bit dry in terms of releases.

In terms of helping you learn how to play, explaining the systems to you, and guiding you into the game -- very much so.
In terms of difficulty -- well, let's just say the first step on a journey is always the hardest.
heh im guessing 2016, the nintendo 3ds is the only thing making alot of cash for nintendo they need to keep it up while the wii u still struggles and that won't change for a while.

Haha, right. I'm up for a challenge though, thanks
So I have some credit left on the eShop after buying FE (loving it). I've been eying the harvest moon gameboy color version, absolutely loved the SNES version back in the day. Anyone played this?
I checked some screens and it seems to be a watered down version so i was hoping to hear from someone who has actually played it.
I also read about shovel knight hitting the store today, which ended up being a bit of a let down cause its not in EU yet, and i can't find an ETA. Looks really good though, wouldn't be surprised if that gets added in this thread eventually.
Thanks in advance, this place is so good for hyping up my 3DS that i've been playing it lots again. But i've got to keep this flow going! The only upcoming release that seems interesting is smash bros 3ds but im really afraid that it won't work in such a small form factor. And doing smash moves with the analog stick on the 3ds... I'm just not sure.
At least there is still Prof. layton i really want to check out, but it's just not the same as counting the weeks for a future release!

Shovel Knight is not out today. It's coming out on June 26th, this Thursday.
I used to stay up really late playing Harvest Moon GBC but it's not all that great. As you suspected it's a watered-down version. If you have the ability to play GBA games on a GBA or DS, FOMT is really the best of all possible HM worlds.
BTW, here's the Shovel Knight OT (no EU release date yet):
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=840815
I don't think BraXzy can update it in good conscience. He hated Kirby and will definitely not be interested in Shovel Knight.

There's two games I wanted for 3DS for over the Summer - Shovel Knight and SMTIV. And I discover they're both nowhere to be seen for Euroland. Thanks for region locking Nintendo, since we're taking steps back why not make your next handheld a slate and a piece of chalk.
SMTIV is confirmed for a Q3 eShop release if that helps. And I want to say they're hoping to bring SK to you guys by the end of summer.
ETA: I like the slate and chalk idea, though. Mario Maker could be on their handheld system that way, too.

Hello,
I am looking to add a couple more games to my 3DS' digital library. I will be moving overseas in a little more than a month and will not likely have access to quality internet services to download more, so I want to create a backlog of games before I go so that I will have a lot to play over a lengthy period of time.
Right now I am playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Tomodachi Life, and Fire Emblem: Awakening. I really like them all and will continue to play them for quite some time, I believe.
I have a number of other games on my 3DS that I have yet to play, because I'm saving them for when I'll be away. That list looks like this:
Pokémon Y
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Inazuma Eleven
Shin Megami Tensei IV
Rusty's Real Deal Baseball
(Not too bad a list, I figure!)
-
The games I am sort of interested in adding are Crimson Shroud and Virtue's Last Reward. Would you recommend these? Also, which others would you recommend? I'm open to all sorts of suggestions, though I generally enjoy Nintendo's first-party titles, the odd JRPG, and maybe even a puzzler or two.
Hope this wasn't too long-winded. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, GAF!
