Title: Poll: Got 3DS?
Post by: knightmere on April 17, 2011, 12:52:58 PM
I got mine already and am pretty impressed ,the 3D is a pretty cool feature. I'll admit the launch games aren't necessary AAA, but thats how system launches usually go.

I have owned a 3DS since launch [effectively making my DSi obsolete], however I haven't bought any of the launch titles. I have a nice black silicone case on it, 2 screen protectors, 4 extra stylii, & a small game case that holds up to 6 which makes Shigeru Miyamoto proud. I understand a slim version will most likely come out but that isn't gonna happen for atleast another year or 2 guys.

The system has loads of potential, and with the announcement of Super Mario & Ocarina of Time redux I'm glad I bought it  ;D ;D

I have Super Street Fighter 4, Pilot Wings & Ridge Racer.  The only game i regret buying is Pilot Wings and only because there is just not enough content to warrant a $40 purchase.  The game can be beaten completely in less than 10 hours.  Super Street Fighter 4 is a very good port with online versus and the added 3D Dynamic Vew is awesome.  Ridge Racer has the best 3D effect of the 3 games IMO.  The sense of speed with 3D on is amazing and there is a good amount single player content.  I don't plan on purchasing anymore launch titles however. I'll wait for Zelda, Resident Evil, etc.

Got it, its a lot of fun. I love the ability to play street fighter on the go, but the non-animated backgrounds are a bummer :/

Got it, with Ridge racer, asphaly and S.Street fighter IV.
Waiting for Steel Diver, not yet released in Europe  >:(

Don't have one yet (there are no games I want to play out for it yet), but I certainly plan to get one down the line.

Still waiting on this: Jill and Wesker Gameplay Trailer - Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/jill-and-resident-evil/712296)
Title: Re: Poll: Got 3DS?
Post by: Munchy on May 04, 2011, 07:08:39 PM
Not yet. I just know Nintendo is chomping at the bit to put out a revision 3DS with better everything plus a microwave oven, so I'm waiting for that.

Also waiting for better games. Resident Evil: Revelations, Mega Man Legends 3, and that rumored Contra, to be specific. A Castlevania would definitely seal the deal, and goddamnit why isn't Sega making some kind of Panzer Dragoon for this? With the Starfox remake it seems like an absolute no brainer. I'd be happy with ports of the Saturn games.

Post by: Pesmerga on October 28, 2011, 08:17:10 PM
I got it day one, but man, with all that's happened since then (price drop, highly potential forthcoming redesign with built in second stick, etc. ) I don't think I've ever had this much buyer's remorse for getting a system at launch.
Title: Re: Poll: Got 3DS?
Post by: Neobelmont on October 28, 2011, 08:53:43 PM
No I have not got one yet and my dad does not want me to get anymore systems ut I can work something out hopefully

and there are a few game I want to get like kid icarus, the new fire emblem, and without a doubt professor Layton Vs Phoenix Wright since I have never played any of them this seems like a perfect time to try both at the same time (two for one special).
Title: Re: Poll: Got 3DS?
Post by: KaZudra on October 28, 2011, 09:03:41 PM
Hell yeah!
There way many more games other than castlevania, got mine at price drop.

Only complaint is that there really isn't that many games out for it yet, but I'll get my fix soon with Shinobi, Sonic generations, and Mario Land 3d

I had to buy one on the day that OoT 3D came out.  I did 2 100% regular game + master quest playthroughs, but haven't really touched it since except to DL my ambassador gifts.

Megaman

Megaman
Simon Belmont
Banjo-Kazooie

Three characters to make Smash Bros. Perfect!

Megaman I can see as Simon without a doubt but the problem is most people do not know who Simon is and even if he does deserve a spot it feels like it is impossible for him to get in. Simon just can not get in normally something big would have to happen like  the whole castlevania community were to join in and make it happen and it sucks too because if Simon was repersented in a very good way the popularity of castlevania would skyrocket just look at Pit almost no one knew him heck no one knew what fire emblem was at looked what happened I bet you if the chance came if it was between some random character vs Simon he would get left in the dust even if popularity matters (or not). It seems Simon has some kind of stigma or something which is sad and even if he is a perfect match for the smash universe. It just seems like some unatural force keeps him and the series back(also do not say the k word please). If only people would give him a chance. We all know he fits more than others why can't people not see it.

Also on an other note I want Lilina from fire emblem just because she would wreck zelda and also because she is really cute  :-[.

This is from the american standpoint, the japanese audience has a really good chance to know who simon is much like no one knew who Marth was until the remake of the game.

Post by: knightmere on October 29, 2011, 12:00:00 PM
I still have my 3DS but the last game I bought was Zelda.  The lack of games has been very depressing as well as the poor eshop support.  Hopefully after this holliday season the 3DS will (finally) start to pick up.

Post by: BullockDS on October 29, 2011, 07:28:14 PM
I bought my 3DS at launch. Big mistake; the only games I've got are Super Street Fighter IV and Ocarina of Time 3D. Nintendo should've waited a bit later than March to release the 3DS. Upcoming titles look promising, however, such as Super Mario 3DLand, Luigi's Mansion 2, and the possibility of Majora's Mask 3D (*crosses fingers*), so hopefully, I'll be getting more use outta my 3DS than just music and Four Swords Anniversary Edition.
Title: Re: Poll: Got 3DS?
Post by: CastleToastM on October 30, 2011, 08:45:57 AM
I don't really have any games for mine. I don't even touch or use it.

Why the hell do I have this blue brick again?

Oh, right, the mario 3D land game. It think that's what I'm waiting for.

Perhaps.

I want to see a new 2D castlevania for it.
Title: Re: Poll: Got 3DS?
Post by: KaZudra on October 30, 2011, 08:10:18 PM
What I wait for:
Sonic Generations 3DS
Super Mario Land 3D
Shinobi
CRUSH3D
Luigi's Mansion 2
Mario Kart 7
Animal Crossing 3d FTW!
Majora's Mask 3DS
New Star Fox (crosses fingers)
MGS3 Naked Simple

...and a few more I can't think of at this moment...
Title: Re: Poll: Got 3DS?
Post by: knightmere on October 31, 2011, 11:48:42 AM
RE: Revelations looks like it has some potential as well.  I was going to get MGS:3 but now that the HD collection is coming to PS3 in two weeks, I'm just going to get that instead.
Title: Re: Poll: Got 3DS?
Post by: shelverton. on October 31, 2011, 07:41:56 PM

Super Mario 3D Land is the first game I REALLY want. So I may very well pick up a 3DS before this year is over. Other than that I don't know what to get for it. Ocarina of Time maybe, but it's not that interesting to me, especially not now that Skyward Sword is around the corner. Maybe after I'm done with that. I need to take quite long breaks between Zelda games. They're fun but also oddly exhausting to me.
Title: Re: Poll: Got 3DS?
Post by: uzo on November 03, 2011, 11:40:36 AM
I got a 3DS at launch and I'm totally regretting it.

I was promised awesome new titles, and the return of an astounding series dead for 11 years on a cliff hanger. Now I have no reaosn to have it, since nothing worth while came out on it that isn't A) a port ive already played or B) DSiWare (love Shantae DS).
Title: Re: Poll: Got 3DS?
Post by: Husky on November 03, 2011, 01:29:19 PM
Geez I feel like a minority here, I bought it for a portable Street Fighter, got DOA Dimensions, and Zelda, but I also like the fact that nintendo as been kind enough to give early adaptors some freebies for our troubles, I also had a couple of games that I didn't care for to much too, so I see both sides.
 
 Hey atleast we have some stuff coming out, after the little wait, Starting this month I'll get Mario and Shinob I'll wait for RE and MGS. :) so 7 games makes it worth it to me, hell I have less than that for my Neo Pocket and I was happy. :P

Im waiting for a castlevania to come out for it

Funny I was just about to start a discussion about 3ds castlevania since I am currently playing zelda and having a blast. I am disappointed that the N64 castlevania will NEVER make it to the 3ds because the developers were never happy with those 2 titles and even said they should never have been a part of the series. This gives little to no hope of us ever seeing that happen. I must be one of the few who actually finished and enjoyed castlevania on the N64 because I only hear bad about it.

On the other hand I would love to see a new castlevania title on the 3ds that actually takes full advantage of the system and plays like all of the other hand held castlevania games from the previous 2 generations of hand helds. I played all of the GBA and DS games and love them except OOE that game was not fun at all compared to the other 2 on the DS. The difficulty seemed drastically increased next to the other games which was hard to get used to but a welcome change from the others which were a bit easy. But I did not like the way items were handled or the glyph system mostly glyphs that kinda made the game suck all on it's own for me.

So yes I own a 3ds and like the rest of us here I am waiting to see what happens with the castlevania series. I am nervous because I have been let down a lot by the series recently the exception being the hand held titles but OOE started pushing those to the edge as well.

I am also interested in the dragon quest series the mana series and a few others. I think I will pick up street fighter 4 and starfox 64 3d as well since those are some great launch titles to have in my collection. I still like pulling starfox out and playing it on my 64 from time to time it should be amazing in 3d.

What are some other games you guys think would be good on this system?

Also who else thinks nintendo hand helds are built like a brick shithouse? I was really impressed by the quality of the 3ds very solid and everything is very responsive and precise I really love it.

OoE is perhaps my most favorite DS game. I loved how they increased the difficulty level. PoR wasn't even fun due to how easy it was.

Also who else thinks nintendo hand helds are built like a brick shithouse? I was really impressed by the quality of the 3ds very solid and everything is very responsive and precise I really love it.

A brick shithouse? I have never heard of that saying before. Do tell me, what the hell is that supposed to mean?

I can only assume that it means something positive, because then in your next statement, you said something positive about the 3DS, which is a nintendo hand held.
Title: Re: Poll: Got 3DS?

A brickihouse can mean solid, remember the song "She's a brick house" (Youtube the song and it's about how good a woman as the singer sees). As for a shit brickhopuse, I digress, I've never heard of it.

Also again I ask, where's the DO NOT WANT BUT LOVE HANDHELDS option? :(

Funny I have a love hate relationship with the N64 Castlevania's, I like playing the games, but the graphics were weird even for the era they came out in (I'm not saying their bad, I just think they were odd to me anyways), the music has some strong tracks(I really like the track where you are assending to the castle keep) and some really weak ones, and the story and character designs were cool, for the most part anyways.

i was impressed with the 3D. However i'm disappointed at the titles thus far. The only noteworthy titles seem to be Super Mario 3D land and LoZ Ocarina of time. I'm still furious they didn't give Starfox 64 3D online play! WHY?! I am lucky enough to partake in the Ambassador program but after the nes games release i've lowered my standards for the GBA games.

maybe with Cv and not turning on the 3D effect at all, but i dont think so...

I have the 3D effect turned off for SML3D because it makes it harder for me to perceive depth correctly.  The game is still fun without the 3D effect turned on.  Would you buy it if the next CV game was a 3DS exclusive?

Supposedly, the 3DS has more power than the DS. From what I know, the point is to have DS games with better graphics than the old DS games.

But really, in the end, all you're buying is more fancy graphics.

I recently downloaded both 3D Classics Twinbee and Kirby's Advendure.  Both are great old school games and the 3D effect breaths new life into them.   I had never played Twinbee before but that game is fun as hell and super addictive.  I'm going to pick up Mario 3D Land soon.

Post by: shelverton. on November 28, 2011, 12:23:27 PM

This question has probably been asked 5 million times already, but anyway:
When playing normal DS games on a 3DS, you must hold start or select or something to make the games look tolerable. My question is; Does this make the game look as good as they do on DSi, or do they still look worse?
Title: Re: Poll: Got 3DS?
Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on November 28, 2011, 02:09:12 PM
Playing normally blurs the games a little because the new screen isn't bigger by a whole-number factor in terms of pixels... but it's not that bad.
Depending on the game, I switch between the two styles.  3D-style games like Spirit Tracks look better with the large screen, while pixel-part games like Castlevania look better with Start+Select.  The games look great, but they look a bit smaller than the DSLite versions.  It's very crisp, but small.
Title: Re: Poll: Got 3DS?
Post by: knightmere on November 29, 2011, 07:44:27 PM
Like Jorge already stated most DS games look fine on the 3DS but a some do tend to look a little blurry.  The problem has been greatly exaggerated on the internets.

Still waiting on more price drops and a redesign. (I don't get people who seem to think waiting for a revision is crazy. Have they not bought Nintendo handhelds before?)

The principle game I want now is RE Revelations, but thankfully my dad bought a 3DS so I'll likely just borrow his to play it.

It annoys me that the GBA Yoshi's Island uses so many Yoshi's Story sound effects. I miss the Super Nintendo originals. It's cool to have a more accessible version of the game though. It was one of my favorite Super Nintendo games. Mario Vs. Donkey Kong is really fun, and so is Wario Land 4. I haven't tried Fire Emblem yet.

Have you guys tried out "Mighty Switch Force" for the 3DS (3DS-Ware)?
It's made by Wayforward and it's a Puzzle Platform game.  Really nice 2D Visuals with 3D "switch" gameplay.
It's only 7 dollars. :D

Mario Land 3D is hella easy, although getting past Bowser in World 8 was a bitch. I cheated and used the P-Wing. But still, if you grew up playing Mario games from the NES through the N64, all the references to the old games are a fun touch, even if the fun only lasts for the first time you play it.

My brother got me Star Fox 64 for the 3DS. It was easy the first time I played it, but I had it on 3DS Mode, which may have been nerfed because I got my ass handed to me on N64 Mode. My Gyroscope may be off-balanced too, because I had issues using it and had to play with just the joystick. Still, fun game and Corneria is gorgeous on the 3DS.

My buddy and I are waiting for Shinobi. I read a review that said Ghost Recon is good, but haven't played it.

We need a 3DS Friend Codes thread, too.

Did you go through the whole game?  I mean, did you unlock the second set of 8 worlds after the first 8?

Enjoying the free GBA games, particularly Mario vs. Donkey Kong. Sad to read the above post about altering the SFX from the SNES version (the greatest game ever). That would seriously annoy me so much that I doubt I'll ever play it.

Got me a second 3DS game finally: Sonic Generations. Picked it up alongside the PS3 game since they offer wildly different levels. Kinda sucks you have to buy two versions to get the full game... Oh well.

Wow, so someone broke into my apartment and stole my DS Lite and all my Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, and DS games. Also, my Gamecube with a Gameboy Advance Player. Looks like All I've got for handhelds now IS my 3DS. I'm usually only at the apartment during school, as it's an hour away from my house with my parents. Police reports have been completed and all that, but I'm not exactly expecting results, as my friends and I checked all the pawn shops and the local Gamestop and found nothing.   :(

I'm most upset about the event-only Pokemon I can't get anymore, and my Castlevania games. Well, and the Gamecube.

At least I've got a lot of games to enjoy on my 3DS now thanks to the Ambassador program.

Wow, that sounds like one dedicated, thieving geek! Either that or perhaps you wronged someone in the past & they're getting their revenge, or you have a rat/traitor in your crew that told a third party that you have a whole bunch of expensive games in your apt. The bright side is, all that which was stolen, can be replaced (albeit with a hefty price, but like Bruce Wayne's dad says in that movie, "why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up again.")

Well, knowing I'd be gone for a while, I deliberately moved the majority of my valuables out of the apartment because I was afraid that something like this might happen. That whole row of apartments is lived in exclusively by college students like myself. Those were the only things I left behind, since I figured any general thief wouldn't want to waste time with a Gamecube, Gameboy Advance games, etc. But no, they trashed the place and took whatever was there, basically. My roommate lost all his PS2 games and his PS2, as well as a few albums he had in our living room. If it was someone I knew, they would have known that I normally keep a $200 bass guitar that's not longer produced, and a $600 amp in my room upstairs, yet there is no sign that they even looked upstairs. If I were a thief, and I knew that those items were in the place I'd broken into, I'd have headed straight there. Those weren't there because they were some of the valuables I had moved, but the point is the thief would have gone upstairs, but they didn't.

But yeah, I'll replace it all in time. I love my games.

I really want 3D Land, but it's hard to justify buying more games when I have so many unfinished ones. I better plow through a few first... That and I usually pick up games when they're on the cheap, and first-party Nintendo games are rarely cheap.

I found something on Google by accident a couple nights ago, it's an onscreen keyboard so far only for tablets, but it has its own scientifically designed (so they claim) layout different from QWERTY. It was made to help text faster with a stylus or finger. Forgot what it's called, but they need to integrate it to the 3DS and DSi, it's even square-ish like the DS's touch screen.

Post by: TheouAegis on May 03, 2012, 01:55:07 PM
Dammit! Since I take my 3DS everywhere and keep it in my pocket, a lot of dust built up and if you don't know, dust is VERY abrasive. So now the top screen has a nice outline of dust scratches that I can't get rid of because they're so deep (I guess I could use abrasive on it). And the touch screen is scratched to shit in the middle. Of course none of them are too noticable when games are actually running (except the top screen because it's so bad). But the scratches are pretty deep. I didn't get a protector like I thought I should and now i'm regretting it bigtime. So I went to the Nintendo site looking for repair info. I figured it would be outside of the warranty due to normal wear. And sure enough, it's not covered. They want $55 to replace the screens. Although for $55 that might not be such a bad deal but I'd have to send it in within a year of purchase. Hope I still have the receipt at home.

Gah. That's one of those things you'd not find out about until it's too late.  >:(

Don't get too excited. I'm a huge fan of the original but the DS port pisses me off. They had to go and ruin the gameplay and controls by enabling customizable upgrades for your vehicles. This makes the character/vehicle defaults all shitty, and you have to be smart about how you spend your upgrades or you may screw yourself over. When I got the game, I couldn't beat the walrus boss the second time through 'cos my hovercraft was floating and slipping all over the place, and was slow to boot...

They also replaced the fun "grab coins and finish the race" mode with a retarded-ass "click and drag coins into a bag!" minigame type piece of bullfuck.

I finally got my hands on MGS:3D and am loving it so far.  The new controls with the CPP are amazing as is the edition of crouch walking.  The Photo Camo feature is fun if not a bit game breaking.  The only problem I have is the frame rate stutters a bit during the cutscenes, but its not bad during actual gameplay.   I've managed to find a few Yoshi Dolls already but I still got a long way to go through the campaign.
