Well, that seems to be the main difference between my DS Lite and a 3DS, so wouldn't want to spend that much money on a feature I won't even use.
NaomiMinette
Yeah, but some games are exclusive to the 3DS, so I don't even think of it as a DS Lite when I don't use the 3D effects.
Shohei Ohtani
You know what I hate about the 3D, though?

I'm just playing, and someone walks by.

The first thing they do. . . *plop* turn off the 3D effect ;~;.

I was just saying that chances are, I won't be able to join any kartparties because of my timezone. (and my body clock)
Rantai seems to be able to manage to join though.

I DO post on the Mario Kart 7 thread, you know :?
Shohei Ohtani
For most Kartparties, I just feel random impulses to scream it into modhelp. I generally do it at like, 5-8PM :>
Soaprman
I've tried a few times but never had any luck. I think my schedule isn't aligning with anyone else's very well these days! Why can't everyone live in my timezone and have my schedule? Argh! Who came up with the idea to give people the ability to not be on my schedule anyway? I'm going to sue that motherfucker into oblivion.

It's been exactly one year since the Nintendo 3DS system launched across North America on March 27, 2011. In that time, millions of people like you have discovered the fun of Nintendo 3DS.

To help celebrate this special anniversary, a surprise visitor is waiting to greet you in StreetPass Mii Plaza.

His face will be familiar to Nintendo fans, and you’ll see that he’s dressed for the occasion!

Slightly disappointed after finding out who Europe and Japan got...meh
NaomiMinette
Lemme guess... We get Reggie while they get... uhh... whoever runs Nintendo there.
Soaprman
Yep, it's Reggie. But it's special shiny golden Reggie with kung-fu action Kid Icarus promotion.

So I bought Resident Evil Revelations. It's quite fun, and the Raid Mode is excellent.

The only gripe I have is that the subbers were CLEARLY asleep or didn't know English very well; spelling errors, incorrect grammar, words are dropped entirely from the sub, when everything up to said points has followed dialogue.

But, minor things.
NaomiMinette
Any highlights on Kid Icarus: Uprising's good points?
Haneii
Kyaaaaaaaa~ There are remixed tracks from TWEWY (actually I only watched a clip with "Calling"...had to stop myelf) in KH3D.

Ruined the OP for myself...I teared up. This is so unfair >_<
Shohei Ohtani
I haven't played it, but people are all "omgomgomg" because of multiplayer and something about "I CAN FEEL THE NOSTALGIA" or something (even though most people never played the original until after Pit was announced for brawl .-.)

The game is super addicting because of its "Fiend's Cauldron" difficulty feature, it makes you want to replay levels multiple times for greater challenges and prizes. The achievements are definitely an incentive to try different challenges because you get power up rewards and sometimes even new weapons. Everyday we get a new weapon crystal from Lady Pauletena via spot pass and some are really awesome! The voice acting is cheesy, but fun, its like having nonstop cut scenes without slowing down the game and action. The multiplayer is great and there is always hearts (cash) and secret reward given out after every match. There's soo much more to it than i can explain and I'm barely halfway through the main game!

I'm aware that you can raise the difficulty level, and I know the action is probably hectic on the highest difficulty and probably multiplayer, but I mean like... do we get to use power-ups found on the field/sky, if any, for both single- and multi-player? If not, I'm still not convinced.

Power ups? As in the "spell" like things you see in the Multiplayer preview video? You get to use those in Land Battles in both single and multiplayer. As for sky battles, you can only use one *clear screen* skill. Each Power up has levels and amount of uses, but also means bigger blocks. (You get a grid and you place what power ups you want to use, like a puzzle)

Stat upgrades depend on weapons (includes hp boost, def boost, speed boost, status attack, etc), and those can be played around with via weapon fusion.

Wanna point out that power ups and weapons you earn in multiplayer can be used in single player and vice versa.
xerxes_oli
Of course some Powers are block from multiplayer matches since they would give an unfair advantage but most are usable, the 3 on 3 are super fun and balanced since even if you have the strongest weapon in the whole team, if you die they lose tons of health, you can be the biggest weakness, it really takes a lot of thinking, which is actually fun.
NaomiMinette
*sigh* They should've released a demo in the eShop...
Irisu_old
Downloaded the Resident evil revelations demo~ hopefully going to get kid icarus :)
Azure_Kite
Got Kid Icarus now, I'm up to chapter 16 but damn, the amount of Fourth Wall obliteration is hilarious. The dialogue in the Story mode is light and humourous, and it's made me laugh quite a few times. And I rarely laugh in real life.

G FORCES, IN MY FAAAAAAAAACE.

So, here's the list of online games I own, if ever anyone wishes to play with me or something.

Resident Evil - The Mercenaries 3D
Resident Evil - Revelations
Dead or Alive - Dimensions
Super Street Fighter VI
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Starfox 3D

I also have Doctor Lautrec, Super Monkey Ball 3D and Samurai Warriors - Chronicles, but they're Single Player.
Irisu_old
Yeah finally got Kid Icarus (thank god they had a discount...) love the story so far and I'm enjoying the dialogue~

D:< The other people with Kid Icarus haven't added me! (aside from hetalia)
And I wonder if we -need- 6 people to start a game... :X

Why the hell are you guys discussing this hamazing game in this thread? Its hamazingness deserves its own thread you lunatics!

Also Kid Icarus is an amazing game, I've been playing it for a while now and I've enjoyed it. It's slightly annoying for a left hander like myself but you get used to it (you are slightly inaccurate during attacks though)
Azure_Kite
Personally, I haven't had any problem with the control scheme; I know in some reviews some people have been complaining about hand cramps. 89/69/24 Treasure Hunt achievements later, and I can pass some 9.0 intensity levels without issue.

Multiplayer is amazingly fast paced and balanced. I love it just for the sheer fun of it all.
NaomiMinette
Anyone wanna donate? I wanna see for myself, lol.

Finally completed RE: Revelations and what do i get? Multiplayer Cooperation mode xD I wish i had that earlier.

My Conclusion: Nice game but some places are unfair. It isn't scary/creepy after you have enough ammonition. Unnecessary touchscreen bullshit and no real riddles :/. Nice story/twists and action scenes. Many unlockable stuff :D

Bomber34, you get multiplayer Coop after Episode 3 is cleared...

I wonder if we should have a Pushmo topic, or at least some place to keep our custom Pushmos and other things. I just started playing it and this is what I've made:
It's more linear than I'd like. Making good Pushmos is really hard!

Edit: I'll just edit them into the first post I guess.

A pushmo thread may be nice, But yeah, if anyone adds a map here, edit it into the OP.

Other games are nice too. But at the moment is a "meh" console.
NaomiMinette
*handheld

Anyway, so I'm just wondering... How come they're still making DS games?
Soaprman
How come you aren't still making DS games?

For reals, though, probably because the DS is like the PS2 was in that it has a large enough userbase that making games so late in its life and after its successor has come out isn't a terrible idea.
NaomiMinette
Fair enough, but there are so many games (like Pokemon Black 2/White 2) that would've been nice to see on the 3DS, buuuuuuuuut at the same time, I guess they decided to release it as just DS games because of the prequels.

...I DUNNO ANYMORE!

Yeah, pretty sure it's a regular Paper Mario. Super Paper Mario started out good but got more and more boring as it went on. Only the writing kept me going past about the halfway point.

According to the 3DS release date list from GameStop, it said Paper Mario 3DS and Luigi's Mansion 2 will be released on a same date (May 2nd for the North American release). Is that's true or what?

...You still haven't completed that game? Wasn't that game released like more than 5 years ago? Anyway, I've played all of the Paper Mario games. There's canon appearances and references to the previous game(s), but the stories don't tie in with each other. That being said, you probably won't understand a few/some of the references if you haven't played whichever Paper Mario game (one example being a Paper Mario character being referenced in PM:TTYD).

I have August 2, 2012 as both of their release dates... but yeah, as far as I know they're being released on the same day.

I'm sitting for a few weeks, with my accomplishment for completing all of the puzzles! When I went into puzzle swap, I could be accomplished knowing I had to do nothing. . . My playcoins rose above 10 and I felt success.

I'm sure more and more puzzles will come out later this year, so it's kinda endless, really.

You forgot The Thousand Year Door, lol.

Anyway, Super Paper Mario was the worst of the games so far, mostly because it didn't follow the first two games, but also because it was generally repetitive. Probably its story was the only thing that was worth noting.

I completely agree. Being able to play as multiple characters and use new mechanics (e.g. Mario's 3D/sideways mode) were nice, and the storyline was great, but overall the gameplay and battles were just too sub-par...

I've replayed the first two games countless times, but have only played SPM once...

Ugh, all this talk makes me wanna replay the first two games now... (even though I 100%'d the 2nd game like 5 times already)

Good thinking. Paper Mario and Thousand Year Door are both fantastic. Super Paper Mario is, as I and others have said, merely alright. The gameplay isn't much, and the settings get less interesting as the game goes on. The only thing worth seeing it through for is the trademark Mario RPG excellent writing.
NaomiMinette
The storyline in all the Paper Mario games have been (one of) the strong point(s) of the series.

Anyway, I noticed that PM3D's visuals is/will be like a pop-up book. Man I'm gonna have a field day with that game (I'll probably stay in 3D when playing it), especially if the story's awesome.

...Gah! Poot this! *plays Paper Mario (N64) again*

TBH, I see Super Paper Mario much more like a spin-off than a main entry for the reasons stated so far.

A spin-off of a spin-off... Interesting...
