Shit console, shit thread. Keep sucking nintendo's cock, marioboy.

Eo4 is good, Rune Factory 4 is good if you're into that sort of thing.
7th Dragon 3 is pretty decent.
Monster Hunters if you want a long grind.
Stella glow is…. I liked it but it has a lot of problems
There's plenty of decent games.

eo4?

oh sorry Etrian Odyssey 4.
Etrian Odyssey Untold 1 is okay too, but it's worse than 4
avoid Untold 2, it's pure garbage with a huge amount of DLC locked content

Etrian Odyssey 5 from the JP demo is fantastic.

Is it best to play those games in order of release, chronological order, anything like that? Or is it like FF where every game is it's own thing?

If you are right handed, Kid Icarus Uprising is damn near the top.
Smash is smash
Either kirby 3ds gmes are great
If you havent play Donkey Knog country returns the port is solid

Phoenix Wright: Duel Destinies if you've played the others, even though it is probably one of the weakest in the series. The 3DS collection of the first three games if you've never played them
Soul Hackers

There's a bit of a connecting story, but it's vague and unconnected.
People say 2 or 3 are the best in the series, Original 1 is really dated and you can tell it's the first game.

I would reccomend going in order, but if you don't care about losing some QoL stuff, 4 is the best place.
Untold 1 is the best way to experience EO1 just avoid story mode

What's wrong with the story mode?

The whole fun of EO games is building your own party.
You're not allowed to do that in story mode, you're forced into a single party for the entire game.

You say that like it's a big deal with CFW.

It isn't but it's a good indicator of the overall product quality.
Which is garbage

Kid Icarus: Uprising

What flaws did you find with Stella Glow?

The fact that even in NG+ with the extra time slots you still can't max out everyone and everything makes me grumpy.

That fucking suicidal Sakura. It's been months since I have played Stella Glow because of that.

Etrian odyssey mystery dungeon
Ace attorney trilogy if you havent gotten to the first three games yet

These I've found are pretty good. And Smash. If you got a N3DS, try out Xenoblade while you're at it. There's also a few indie ports that feel right at home there such as Shantae and the Pirate's Curse and Shovel Knight Ports

Oh, and also Ace Attorney Trilogy if you haven't already gotten around to playing them yet.

That's fucking lame. I'm currently in my NG+ playthrough going for the true ending and I thought I would have enough time to max out everyone.


I know the battle you're talking about. It's the SRPG version of an escort mission. Fucking bullshit.

AoE spells take years to resolve.
And how speed just is the only stat that really matters aside from attack, defense might as well not exist.


I have no clue what he's talking about you have enough time to max everyone and all the part time jobs maxed too.

Any games on the 3DS with similar gameplay to Kamidori Alchemy Meister?

Don't care about the H stuff but I do like the idea of hunting for materials to build better equipment in an SRPG.

THAT'S IT
I'M LEARNING NIPPONESE

...

expanding on this since i got a DS flashcart, what are some absolutely must play games for the DS?
Also what are some racing games for both?

nothing on this fucking handheld interests me outside of it

Looked into getting one of these myself. Will mainly be playing at home. Do I get a DS, an XL or the dual analogue one that seems to have come out?

If you are planning on getting CFW you will need to keep that in mind when selecting the 3DS. The lower the firmware, the easier it becomes.

Kid Icurus Uprising.

Kid Icurus Uprising.

Does Pokemon Bank work if you get it from the (fre)e-shop?

sure, why not.
You can still download stuff from the eshop with an al9h 3DS anyway.

I tried, it won't let me actually use it without paying $7. Well, it's what I expected.

Does anyone know where I could find a good writeup on 3DS RPGs? I'm not familiar with FE, SMT, etc. and the store descriptions don't really explain the systems.


Will I miss out on much if I skipped Apollo Justice?

Also, are the new Professor Layton games any good?

Have fun nignog, entire eShop contents at your fingertips save for DLC, including DSiWare

On a tangent are there H games on 3ds and PSP for that matter

Metal Max 4 is best RPG on the system. Toshin Toshi also good.

Folks, I was wondering if the 3DS had some sort of hidden gem as far as strategy games are concerned.

I seriously need my Advance Wars fix and Nintendo has not delivered. Yes I know Fire Emblem is there but it does not quite scratch the itch that Days of Ruin did.

I'm not looking to get CFW. Which one should I get.

what kind of games do you like OP? If you want variety, you are much better off with a psp, ds lite or vita.

Yo-Kai Watch 1-3 are pretty good if you speak nip.

If you skip AJ and just go into DD after the third game, you would miss the introduction of Apollo as a character, his ability, and Tracy and her magic panties Also how Phoenix got disbarred before DD. DD reintroduces these so it isn't that big of a deal. I was never a big fan of the game, but you can skip it if you want or come back to it.
I couldn't tell you, I just started the diabolical box on the DS.

2DS if you want to save money, though the positions of the buttons don't look very comfortable. I wouldn't go with the O3DS, which I have, since it has a worse battery life and a smaller screen size compared to the 3DS XL. The newest and the most expensive is the New 3DS XL, this adds a c-stick and is supposed to have higher performance than the previous models It is the only one that can play Xenoblade. So it comes down to what you which one sounds like a better deal.

Here I thought it was just Holla Forums.

Seems like I should get the new 3ds XL so I don't get shafted with incompatibility on any new releases.

What exactly is the appeal of that series? Is it just like pokemon?

Just know that other then Xenoblade there's only like 2-3 other New 3DS exclusive titles.

Pls respond.

Well if you're looking for something in the days of ruin vein. There's nothing.

Thanks, I may just skip it then until I can find a physical copy or a flashcart

i also have a launch 3ds. I can make a full lap around it with my 3 inner fingers and i play by holding it with my fingertips plus it heats up a lot on heavier games like monster hunter. The upside being the portability that i enjoy but i should've expected the nintendo kikes to shit out a bad console and then release an ok version like with the gamegoys, and now while i can do it i won't get a new 3ds out of principle

Little Battlers eXperience

What?

what did he mean by this Holla Forums?

Yes, because everyone who sages threads is Holla Forums

How the hell did you get that from his post? Are you a shill or just plain retarded?

What suicidal Sakuya mission? The only mission that has any challenge to it is the fight against the angels and you can't use anyone to sing. And it's not even the main mission just trying to complete the subs correctly.

The official Pokemon Bank doesn't work without paying, but there's a free alternative you can use on CFW.

Get Ace Combat Assault Horizons.
Don't be fooled by the name, it's a remake of Ace Combat 2. Very solid.

Ace Attorney Trilogy is dogshit. It's a retranslation of lower quality than the original (which is shocking considering the typos in case 3 of JFA) and significantly fewer frames of animation for many of the poses and actions. If you can, play the original DS versions. Emulate them if you must. Trilogy is only acceptable as an absolute last resort. Don't skip Apollo Justice, it's important.
Game series goes in this order:
Ace Attorney > Justice for All > Trials and Tribulations > Apollo Justice > Ace Attorney Investigations > Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Path > Dual Destinies. There's a spinoff where you play as Phoenix's ancient ancestor, but that was neither localized nor fantranslated.

The incredibly jewish DLC is only the tip of the iceberg with that steaming pile of dogshit.

That's pretty cool, thanks for pointing it out.


The DS version is the same as the one that was ported to iOS, right? It's a pity Trilogy is bad, I was hoping to replay it without having to break out my old dying iPod. At least they're not difficult to play on an emulator.

Do you know where Ace Attorney x Professor Layton falls in that timeline? I'd think it's at the end, but you never know.

Its not so much BAD as it is a bit poorly done. Its nice to have all three together in one combo, but the other user is right. Trilogy should be a last resort if you can't get the DS games by themselves.

No. iOS version is missing animations, music, and has several localization errors. Trilogy is a 3DS port of the iOS version. The only good version in English is the original DS versions, and since both Apollo and the Investigations games are DS-only anyway, you might as well bite the bullet and pick up a flashcart for like 10 bucks if you don't own the carts. (Or emulate them on PC or mobile)

I had played the first 3 on the DS, I had assumed they did the easy route and just ported the games from the DS into the 3DS version, I didn't think it was a full retranslation. I'll make sure to not recommend the 3DS trilogy then in the future.
I always thought of it as just another PW game, other than what I posted before I don't really remember anything else that was crucial to the overarching plot. Do you mean how it is the beginning of the Dark Age of the law or the Jurist System?

Oh, well even more reason to replay them properly now. Do you know a good place to buy a flashcart online that ships to NA?

modchipsdirect ships directly from the US and I can vouch for them since I've ordered from them before.
I personally use modchipsdirect.com/r4i-3ds-r4ds-wood.html , though it uses a microSD for storage (not included) and only plays DS games. I use it on my n3DS so I don't actually need the card to do anything else. Some other options give you emulation and shit if you need it.

If you order from them and use a credit/debit card, be sure to notify your bank/CC company beforehand because it's still technically an international purchase and they'll probably block it. Happened to me and I had to wait an extra two days because of the weekend to get it sorted. Also, the cart I mentioned comes with a USB microSD reader, but only use it if you have no other way to read it; it's a worthless chink piece of shit.


The gimmick mechanic they added is A SHIT, but you can ignore it after the first few missions so yeah I'd agree with this assessment.

I guess that's the price you pay to make sure it actually arrives in one piece… good price on the card though. While you're here, what size microSD would you recommend?

Shipping was only 5 bucks for me, not sure why it's so expensive for you. Size depends on how many DS games you actually want. I grabbed a 32GB because it was on sale, and I'll probably never fill it. Only reason to get anything bigger is if you're a madman and want to just dump the fullset onto the card.

I'm in Canada, so it goes straight to the international rate, which is $12. I'll probably go for 32, I went with that for the SD for 3DS games and it seems like a good size.

Well that explains the shipping cost. Still better than waiting ~6 months for it to ship from China, though.
I use a 64 for 3DS games because they're XBOX HUEG compared to original DS games, though now that I think of it I wonder if I can set up my CFW on the second SD as well and hotswap them for even more space.

Probably not worth the effort though, thanks to jewtendo and their fucking backplate design.

looking for lewd themes to put on my 3ds

There's a chart floating around that I don't have, obvious good ones are the 3 Castlevanias, Rhythm Tengoku, Space Invaders Extreme.

Ace Attorney series if you're into that genre
Castlevanias as said
Pokemon BlazeBlack 2/Volt White 2
SMT: Strange Journey
Etrian Odyssey series
Dragon Quest IX if you can handle 8-4's cancerous localization
Dragon Quest V with the same caveat as before, though the PS2 version is better and has a faithful fantranslation
The Dark Spire if you're into hardcore dungeon crawlers
Dragonball Kai Ultimate Butoden for fitan games (not in English)
Tales of Innocence (fan translation)
Trauma Center 1 and 2
The World Ends with You

That should be a decent list to get you started

the 2nd and third mario and luigi
with FBI you can inject the first

Ocarina and Majora's remakes were pretty decent, if you haven't played those games before.


A very nice top down shooter, specially multiplayer. Made by Hiroshi Iuchi (Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga) so you know there's gonna be something interesting.


It looks nice, it plays nice. Touch hotkeys make the game hilariously broken.


Nice 2D action game with many combat moves, combos and parries. Encourages prefect runs and score attacks.


Although it runs poorly on 3DS, this series of games deserves attention. It's a very good platformer with nice mechanics. Check the other games on the series as well (Japan released for the DS, get a flashcart!)


A nice way mercenaries game on the go. It isn't as satisfying as the one on RE4, but it's pretty fun nonetheless for a portable


Not a game, but a synthetizer with many, many options and very good sound. It's fun as fuck to fiddle with it and you can get nice stuff done with it. (vid related)


Train your brain, fags!

...

Damn, that's really informative.

Utterly barbaric

...

Back to plebbit with you


VLR and ZTD are good (well, ZTD is better on the Vita). Also the new Kirby game is comfy

Might be referring to the first post shillpost phenomenon.

literally all you had to do was google "eo4 3ds".

the spoonfeeding nowadays…
