Official 3DS Thread?

I did a search but it doesn't look like a 3DS thread took place here...

Anyway I got one for my stay in Japan, to play Monster Hunter with friends. I just wish it was region free, because there are many games I want to play but can't... Fire Emblem in particular, and I want to check out Shin Megami Tensei

I did get Super Mario 3D Land.. fuck that game is the hardest Mario game I've played! I don't know why but I just have trouble lining up my jumps, and one thing I don't like is how long it takes for Mario to gather speed for bigger jumps. Kind of wish I got Luigi's Mansion 2 or NSMB2 instead...

I actually like the 3D, except it's really annoying that when you barely move the thing, you lose the 3D effect. This is especially troublesome because it's a handheld - the screen moves when your hands do.

Anyway those are my quick thoughts.. let's see if we can get something going... sales wise, the 3DS is actually outpacing the DS which is pretty damn amazing. 30 million worldwide!

yeah i like the system,i should have knew Nintendo would have the 3DS XL later on and way more cheaper..

i bought into the hype when they were first released & paid 200 dollars at EB GAMES just for the regular Version then like 4 months later the Larger screen released

the 3D effect issue you're talking about is the worse for StarFox 3D,i had to turn it off for the Boss Battles,but overall.....being a kid i couldn't even beat it on Nintendo 64 & a few months ago i decided to give it a go on the 3DS and wow....what a fun game,kinda makes you sad Starfox 2 3D isn't out...so glad i beat it,Now I'm on to Zelda which i didn't beat on Nintendo 64.....i just remember my bro playing it hours on end & already seeing the ending so i didn't care to play it after that.

It's easier to stay in the 3d sweet spot with the XL. Both my wife and I have an XL. She mainly sticks with Tetris Axis, Mario Kart 7, and all the DS brain games.

I bought my XL and Luigi's Mansion 2 to take advantage of their free game offer. I chose Super Mario Land 3D, and I agree that is a tough Mario, especially in the 2nd half of the game. I was a bit disappointed at the assists that were provided. If you keep dying in a level, after so many attempts, you have the option of grabbing the invincibility/raccoon tail to make finishing the level easier. If you still can't make it, you get a P-wing which warps you to the end. Fortunately, the 2nd half doesn't give you any of that crap.

Fire Emblem is my favourite DS title, so far. I've finished the game on normal and hard, but insane is too brutal for me.

My most recent purchase was Lego City Undercover. I would rate it as average. It's like a kiddy version of GTA and Sleeping Dogs. The load times are a fucking bitch.

Monster Hunter is fucking hard, especially when you can't read anything

Anyone have advice for when to start doing multiplayer quests? We have tried the first 1 or 2, and can't seem to do much damage to the beasts... how much do we need to upgrade our weapons?

I got New Leaf. It's pretty fun and I like how you can change the shop closing time since I play at night.

I hope you sold it to get an XL. Countless hours have been logged on my 3DS. It'll probably double with Animal Crossing.

Animal Crossing is ridiculously awesome. There is so much to do in the game. I've been concentrating on making money to expand my house, as I'm getting a lot of stuff, to decorate and furnish it, from the various residents.

Did anyone go to the Animal Crossing Meet-Up, at Landsdowne Mall, this weekend? I had to work, so I missed it. I'm going to try and make it next weekend. It'll be a good opportunity to get more Streetpasses for the Mii Plaza, as well

It was an XL.. I bought it to play Monster Hunter... but because I am in Japan, I had to get the Japanese version... MH didn't quite capture me the way I thought it might (plus having to translate everything sucks) so I just got rid of it. I also bought Super Mario 3D Land, but like most of the new portable Mario games, it lacked soul. I just wasn't into it... So instead of trying a bunch of Japanese games, I just sold it. I doubt I'll buy a US version, but who knows. The 3D effect is really cool, I just hate how the slightest movement fucks you up

Extremely tempted to get one...

Here in Japan I seldom see people with PSPs or Vitas.

Seems like the majority of students here play 3DS and the more I see it the more I want one. Animal crossing is crazy popular.

just picked up projectxzone.. not a big fan of strategy games but the combat and crossover characters were enough for me to get into it


also another reason i bought this, keep in mind, this is a liscenced game, with all characters being loaned to another developer, once that liscence expires, this game will be off shelves within a year or 2

I can't get enough Animal Crossing. I've finally played some of the mini-games on the island, and got enough medals for Club Tortimer.

Regarding Re-Tail, how the hell does that place survive? They buy all the shit I have to sell them, and they take no cut from the flea market. Cyrus can modify furniture, but it's pocket change compared to millions of bells I've received from Reese.

It's a hard game to explain because there ain't many games like it. I would say it's like harvest moon but less emphasis on making profit and more of town building. There are many things you can do in the game and you are not forced to do any of it. It's just a fun chill game that you play for 10-20 mins a day but the replay value is high so it'll still be fun months in.

Big public events, like the PNE should be good for Streetpassing. If there's any video game-related thing happening, that'll be sure to attract a lot of people with a 3DS. I got 50+ passes when I went to the Final Fantasy concert at the VSO.

EDIT: Also, this is, probably, going to be a massive streetpassing opportunity:

Shoppers Drug Mart is having a Senior's Day on Thursday. Get your parents or grandparents to pick it up an XL for $160 after discount. They can keep the gift card for their help .
