Nintendo 3DS Discussion Thread

I'm not surprised since Nintendo Power, the US version I used to get in my tween years, closed down about a year ago. I guess you'll have to print him off a collection of well written online articles and bind them together!

 

I recommend a nice digital magazine I subscribe to Pure Nintendo, it's pretty awesome and the iOS app is very cool

 

That was a very sad time indeed

That was the first gaming mag subscription I owned

 

JCho, did you see they added Samus and Zero Suit Samus to MH4U? It's starting to look more and more like a Nintendo game.

 

Ohhhhhhh yes. I'm hoping Samus' arm cannon will be a weapon too, not just that giant gun that ZS Samus was holding.

I'm guessing the arm cannon will be a light bowgun and the thing ZS was holding will be a heavy bowgun.

Either way, I'm psyched. I'm loving that it's totally getting "Nintendo'd"

Edit: just saw the trailer, had only seen stills prior to now.

And holy hell the special weapon they have for it looks incredible, it's got like 3 different firing modes

 

Bam! Back in the 3DS saddle again.

 

I'll give that a go, sir. Cheers, all.

 

Oooo!

Heard lotsa good things about that one. Personally I've never been into JRPGs, but the demo for that has been sitting on my 3DS for a few weeks. I need to try it

 

I can't wait until shantae 3.

 

Damn it, JCho! Start playing it immediately! It has an excellent combat system, graphics and story narrative! Do IT!

 

But but.... Smash bros and monster hunter

 

Well..... Than make more time!! These games must be played and played well!

 

I'll give Bravely Default a shot... Right after I beat Metroid (Ripley's about to bite the dust!)

 

The New 3DS looks soooooooooooooooo nice.

 

So the New 3DS and its C stick + new buttons work with all games compatible with the circle pad pro. A guy was playing Resident Evil with it and it actually worked pretty damn well

 

Steamworld Dig is easily my favorite handheld game of all time

 

Which Metroid are you playing? Isn't it pretty ancient? (Not that it is a bad thing).

 

The first, through the 3DS Virtual Console. And yeah, it originally came out in '86, I believe. Playing it is always an awesome nostalgia trip (I'm not that old though, my first Metroid was Super Metroid).

The coolest part about it is just how well the game holds up in this day and age. Sure, it's brothers blow it away now, but when looked upon as a sole entity it's pretty damn great.

We can also thank it for creating a genre that has birthed countless masterpieces
