Will the 3DS ever have a library as good as the DS or GBA?
It already does.They're just not getting localized.
>>253314281
I just can't fathom how the DQ games haven't been localized yet.
I thought the series has done well in the West
>>253314502
it had something to do with the DQ8 release here i think, there was a lot of asshurt surrounding it.
Fire Emblem Awakening, best FE yet
Super Mario 3D Land
Pokemon X and Y
Kid Icarus Uprising
Bravely Default
Donkey Kong Country Returns in 3D with better controls and no waggle
Kirby Triple Deluxe
Luigi's Mansion 2..... Luigi's Mansion got a fucking sequel
Animal Crossing, definitive version of the game
Best handheld Mario Kart, bested only by MK8
Pushmo and Crashmo
Shovel Knight on the go

>>253314719
>Fire Emblem Awakening, best FE yet
>>253314719
Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.
2D Zelda is back with no handholding
>>253314502
No one else can either. Especially since Nintendo said they will do all the work for SquareEnix. They're just sitting on the games and won't localize them. Yet they took the risk on localizing a totally untested new IP with Bravely Default....
>>253314719
>best FE yet
Can we please not start this?
>>253314719
I'll bite
FE:A is not the best FE
I'd still put MK DS before MK7
That list isn't enough to compete against ds/gba
Theres just too much good stuff in the ds/gba libraries
>>253314281
I'm pretty upset because I'd probably buy all of those.
>>253314867
As much as the new Zelda was a vast improvement over the crap that was Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks, it isn't true 2D Zelda. Its a 3D game with an isometric view, just like the DS games.
>>253314281
I can't read nipnong but are any of those a DQ joker sequel?
>>253313980
its already got a pretty respectable library
>>253313980
It can't. Its 3D capabilities (polygons, not the screen) are too advanced, the resolution too high and its 2D features missing. The 3DS is a mobile console, not a handheld. The GBA and DS meanwhile were massively "underpowered" in comparison to the consoles of the time and the GBA had 2D capabilities. These "limitations" contribute massively to the quality of a library, because they force pubs and devs to actively create "unique" games that work on a handheld. Keep your GBA and DS while it's still working. It won't get better than that on the handheld front
>>253314826
It introduced the pair up/dual fighting mechanic which is going to be a series mainstay, and the relationship and children/breeding stuff gave the game so much more depth than previous entries

You mean it replaced rescue, a punishing feature, to a casualized buffing up mechanic which is simply used to hit harder without consequences.

>>253313980
Nope. New hand held will come before it get's anywhere close to that status. I don't think the 3ds was ever meant to rival the ds, it's just another extension.

Is it really? I mean, I love it, but I would think X and Y would have that distinction.
>>253315376

Not even close
>>253314719
Is Luigi's Mansion 2 good? I borrowed Luigi's Mansion from a friend as a kid and loved that shit. Have regretted not buying it when it was cheap way back when for years.
>>253315425
Best game? You mean best RPG on the system?
>>253315592
X/Y is a must buy because its the only real 3D pokemon at the moment, but from what I've read a lot of fans of the series rank it pretty low amongst the other games.

Pokemon X/Y were the shittiest pokemon games yet. Short as fuck with lame pokemon and a faggot ass fairy type. Pokemon has degenerated into a shitty autist EV's paradise with complete losers sperging over spreads and "competitive" online "battling". It's fucking pathetic.
>>253315825
Bravely Default could have held that title if it didn't fall apart halfway through. The best RPG right now is either Rune Factory 4 or SMT IV.
>>253316035
No. This was just the gen you realized Pokemon was rehashing the same game with minor UI tweaks and 'new Pokemon'. And you decided you had enough.
I did it with Diamond/Pearl. You did it with X/Y. Congrats.
>>253315587
It wasn't an extension though because it has exclusive games, it was supposed to be a successor to the DS
>>253316035

You can play it on PC already. No matter what system you choose, the issue is just not having a translation or friends to play with.
>>253316392
I got yellow back then, and never got any successor, because they all grew "too complex". Multiple pokemon? breeding? shinys? What for? All that stuff's just getting in the way of the game.
No, this is not sarcasm, I do believe that the "complexity" of modern Pokemon games makes things needlessly annoying. Sticking with yellow
>>253316307
OH SHIT SON THERES A NEW RUNE FACTORY?
>>253315587
The DS was suppose to be a side system to the Game Boy line. And it sold so much that Nintendo replaced the Game Boy line with it.
The 3DS is selling on par to the original DS. Its the successor to the DS.
>>253316601
Im gonna in Japan, so I'm not worried about that.
>tfw Bravely Default is what Final Fantasy is supposed to be
>>253316707
You're just an extreme in the other end. You want Pokemon to remain exactly the same same as the first game. When the real issue with Pokemon is it needs to evolve away from the stagnant 4 moves per pokemon, rigid turn based mechanics that the first game had.
For fuck sake, even Dragon Quest games have improved beyond past Pokemon. Hell, Dragon Quests battle engine was basically better than Pokemon starting with Dragon Quest III on the NES.
>>253317183
>tfw Bravely Default is what Final Fantasy is supposed to be
So is Suikoden, Dragon Quest, Chrono, Star Ocean, etc. Basically you can say any game that isn't Final Fantasy is doing better than Final Fantasy.
>>253316486
I don't know, it is an upgrade but, it doesn't feel like a true successor, for some reason it feels more like a 1.5 with some more power, and 3d that never really worked for anything. But more than that it doesn't really feel like a new product, it can't link to the console, online is better but still extremely meh, No hd screens, no coherent multi media, still has a shitty camera,ext,ext. And from what it sounds like Nintendo is going to be fixing most of this stuff with the next handheld, which is looking like the true "next big" hand held.

Why does Square-Enix hate handhelds in the west? They give us garbage games like theatrythm, bravely default, FFX/FFX-2 HD, the worst kingdom hearts game and shovelware they publish only.
Meanwhile every DQ remake and DQM game is JP only, type-0 shits on the vita and goes to the xbone and ps4 and most of their old games aren't up on the eshop or psn.
Remember when the DS got literally every DQ and SE developed game localized and PSP had fucking dissidia and crisis core along with almost every SE developed game localized?
>>253318837
>Nintendo game
>go down in price
Maybe $10 in 2 years.
>>253318847
I liked 4 more than Untold, but that's because I really liked 1 and they tweaked it a little bit. Etrian Odyssey is my favorite game series of all, so I would say you really can't go wrong either way.
>>253319116
They're trying to encourage you to learn moon so you can play the games pure and undiluted.
>>253317362
>When the real issue with Pokemon is it needs to evolve away from the stagnant 4 moves per pokemon, rigid turn based mechanics that the first game had.
Just like Chess needs to evolve, using more pieces and a bigger board, right? Or Go, using more colors. The original game's "simplicity" was part of what made it so good. You could strategize, you had to pay attention to which limited move set you use, etc. The only "evolution" Pokemon needed was more balance for moves. Once the competitive players isolated overpowered moves and useless moves, the devs had to adapt that. That is all. More Pokemon, more types, more moves, they dilute the entire concept.
>>253318847
I liked Untold because it held my hand when it came to making a team, 4 was annoying because I had to remake my entire team to beat one fucking boss, and it took A LOT of grinding to get them to the appropriate levels. Both are good though.
>>253318252
>>253317975
Thank you, every fucking thread mentioning Rune Factory 4 involves people whining about how the devs are dead which just further perpetuates the rumor that they are gone when they are not. They are still here and Rune Factory 5 is going to happen. Dunno when but probably sometime in the next two years or so?
>>253319116
Its literally someone in the Square side. Because everyone else has stated they want to support the western release of Dragon Quest. Yuji Horii (Dragon Quest creator), Enix themselves, the western CEO of SquareEnix, Nintendo, the western fans...literally everyone has said they want to see Dragon Quest in the west. Except the Square side which is remaining mute on the subject.
Yet they have the final say on all game releases. Square or Enix.
>>253318847
both
>>253314502
i always assumed it was because of how fucking hard they have been pushing the recent final fantasy that they fear competing with themselves with superior product that will make many lost any interest in final fantasy in favor for dragon quest games
>>253319431
>comparing a turn based RPG to chess
Just stop. And please, Pokemon was heavily inspired by Dragon Quest to start with. But Dragon Quest never limited you to 4 skills per character. And while early games would limit you like wasting turns when you equipped items in battle, they removed that later on. They had the good sense of modifying what needed to be fixed and improving the core battle engine over the years. If you play a Dragon Quest Monsters game now, the monsters can learn hundreds of moves and have tons of customization options.
Pokemon on the other hand has NEVER improved its core battle engine. And you are still limited to the same shitty limitations you were in the first two games.
>>253318847
4 is vastly superior to Untold in my opinion. The skill trees in untold felt so boring, like there was nothing I ever wanted. Compared to 4, where I couldn't wait to level up and get some awesome new skill. It also has AIRSHIPS and the best class.
>>253318847
I like 4 more than Untold but that's probably because of the changes they made between EO1 and Untold. EO1 is still my favorite game so for a newcomer Untold might be pretty good as long as you play on Classic mode.
>>253319885
Sorry but the last DQ I played, DQ9 was unbalanced. Falcon Slash rendered everything else pointless.Even Pokemon red/blue was more balanced

Oh lawd, you're both wrong. DQ is just as fucking bad with end game being literally the same fucking thing. They keep the same ultimate weapons and there's nothing new. It's a rehash, both Pokemone and DQ, accept it.

>>253320476
...are you implying Dragon Quest is the 'exact same thing' as the end game to Pokemon?
Wow, you are trying so hard to make your point work.

It's well on its way I'd say. I own about 15 3DS titles and I love each one. Several of those are eshop only titles tough.
>>253320454
EO1 = EO2 =EO3 = EO4 = EOU

And I ended up playing GBA games 90% of the time on my original DS for the first 2 years. Doesn't mean the DS didn't eventually become amazing.
>>253313980
The GBA never had a good library. It had some good games, even great ones but definitely no good library.
I'm not so sure about the DS either, since it was literally a shovelware machine. But of course there also very good games.
If anything I'd say that it's no question that the 3DS will have the best library since we're already going strong. Overall it seems that the releases are much more focused than the GBA or DS releases.
Also, the DS library is the 3DS library, since it's downward compatible.
>>253321326
Hasn't it been like 4 years since the 3DS released?
>>253320559
That's still massively balanced compared to other RPGs though.
>>253321253
There was never, and will never be, an EO4. Fuck them for forcing a platform switch on people. The content of the game does not require the move to the new platform, the new platform is backwards compatible.
>>253321253
this is the correct answer
>>253321491

The content did require the platform switch. Only FOE 3D models were enough for that

Are you literally retarded? Most RPGs don't even have 10 characters to choose from. Let alone 150-500+
And even some of the ones with tons of characters are better than Dragon Quest. Even a game like Suikoden have more balance than fucking Pokemon.
>>253321491

EO4's kind of just okay compared to the old ones though.

Fuck off, the GBA had the best library of games for any handheld outside of the DS.

>>253320942
Um, that kind of actually proves my point. I don't know if you're agreeing with me, being sarcastic, or whatever. What you listed is exactly what you do at the end of every single DQ/Pokemon game.
>>253321868
Got no use for one. I dislike the direction it's taken, dislike the higher quality (compared to the DS) 3D models, putting flashy over substance, dislike its lower battery life, its region lock (don't have a DSi either for that reason). The 3DS is Nintendo's PSP, a useless system that forgot its origin and purpose. As such, I'm not willing to pay $200 for EO4 (got no need for other 3DS games)
Can someone explain to me why the 3DS, and even the Vita library currently feels a bit off right now?
There's something I just feel is lacking, they just don't seem to have as quirky or low budget games this time around.
>>253322101
EO4 came out during the transition period, when plenty of DS games still came out. The majority of EO4s visuals is identical to the 2DS
>>253322390
see >>253315180
The 3DS is too capable for its own good. Developers treat it like a small console, instead of a handheld. It's even more obvious with the Vita and its Vita TV variant
>>253322247
that's some educated opinion right there.
>>253320295
Falcon Slash doesn't work on everything in Dragon Quest IX. Try going up against some of the end game bosses like Psaro or Dhoulmagus and just spamming Falcon Strike. You will get killed.
And still, you have a whole team to support you, unlike in a Pokemon game where you can only use one Pokemon at a time (except in stupid 2vs2 or 3vs3 Battles). As well as being able to learn more than 4 skills on the same character. If anything, the entire point of Pokemon games seems to be about limiting your opitions as much as possible to make the game seem deeper than it is. While Dragon Quest gives you more skills and options to let you experiment and find more than one solution to beating an enemy.
>>253322390
Shovelware developers discovered smathphones, and Japanese games are coming less to the west because they fear they won't sell enough against shitty western games
>>253322356
>putting flashy over substance
In what way are 3DS games lacking substance?
It already has a pretty fucking decent library so far, However it's not the same as with the gba and DS since there's really no good flashcart or emulator for it yet so the avarage individual won't be able to play all the gems in the library because they're expensive as shit, and most people aren't willing to gamble on buying anything else than what's pretty much guaranteed to be good. In the days of GBA and DS I had pretty much tried every game I was the least bit interested in by the means of emulators and flashcarts. As soon as 3ds piracy picks up it will be as revered as gba and DS

>>253322950
The only game I've played where I didn't use the 3d was Rune Factory. Something about it was really off.
Probably not.
I'm sure you've seen the videos that discuss why vita failed. In short, it was due to more powerful technology giving way to more complicated/expensive games and that handhelds work best with cheaply made games instead.
The vita may be an extreme instance, but this effect is still relevant to the 3DS because it is still more powerful than previous handhelds. Even if the 3DS is more modest in its capabilities, it still does full 3D games that require more effort than previous GBA/DS games. It's just a simple matter of fact that GBA and DS games were for the most part very simple and cheap to develop, and thus you had tons of games coming out. Developers could make more games AND they didn't have to play it super-safe due to super high budgets.
again, I'm not saying the 3DS is too bloated, I'm not saying development is over-budgeted, or any of that. But GBA and DS were simpler and cheaper; it's just the nature of things.

What's stupid is SquareEnix claimed they thought Bravely Default was a massive success, despite it not even selling a million copies. They even said they were 'changing the way they were releasing JRPGs' based on how well it did.
Yet they haven't changed a thing. None of their other series have been released. The only things that have been announced are...Theathrythym FF, Kingdom Hearts, FFXIV 2.0 and a Bravely Default Sequel. THANKS FOR THE CHANGE SQUARE!

There's apparently some guy working on a CFW for the 3DS. No Gateway required.
>>253322950

Fuck, really? I thought people were just developing a new gateway firmware that would work on 7.x.
I was so excited when I heard 3ds could play pirated games that I went out and bought a 3DS XL. Even looked at the copyright date to see it was 2012, because I knew it needed old firmware. Turns out you can't just look at the copyright date, and mine came with 6.1 so I couldn't use gateway.
I've been patiently waiting since november for any new developments. Full fledged CFW would be fantastic

This is a recurring theme with all scene forums and such. Are they just pretending to act that way because they don't want to get v& or do they seriously despise piracy even though it's a fucking HACK FORUM?

Wait what? Is that why the sight went down for so long? And who pays to pirate?

Untold is still good, just stay away from story mode, its story spoilers and its terrible characters.
>>253324561
That's not the point. The point is Square will only let Final Fantasy and its spin offs get localized.

The only games I played that actively looked better with it on have so far been ALBW and FE:A for me. It's only used for battles in Pokemon and fucks the framerate sometimes. Every other game I played with it barely makes much of an improvement.
>>253316035
Agreed. And the art design is now a fucking joke. Compared with the early designs which were iconic.
>>253325498
It's owner Stoi(Britbongian) held raffles for money and gave away a Wii and some other crap for the winners. No one actually got the prizes and he took the money for himself.
He also has 1000 dollar goals each month to pay for servers, which is fucking bullshit, since only the torrent files themselves, and not the content are hosted on the site.
Only suckers pay him. He's got a good thing going, but it split the community in two.
>>253314719
>Fire Emblem Awakening, only FE that I've ever played / Only FE that wasn't too hard for me
ftfy
>>253322950
Absolutely not. It KILLS the framerate of many games and even when it doesn't, it only works if you hold it in a fixed position, which doesn't really mesh well when IT'S A FUCKING HANDHELD and you're constantly making small movements that break the 3d effect and turn it into a holographic trading card with double vision.
I gotta admit though, the dungeons in LBW do look cool with 3D on. Still not worth it.

Nah, you just started browsing /v/ and stopped being an ignorant pleb.
Its not so much that Zelda and Final Fantasy have fallen completely from grace, but that we know so much more about vidya, that its harder and harder to get excited about them anymoreJust kidding :3 Final Fantasy has sucked hella dick since they decided to drop gameplay in favour of Grafix. The last good Final Fantasy was 9. Also, 7 and 8 were stupid.

>>253327469
>healthy people - football fans
wat?
>>253322950
I use it in every game except when it completely destroys the framerate (like in XY), the game uses it only during "certain scenes" (also XY), or when using required motion controls.
>>253315050
that's called 2.5D anon
2D gameplay with 3D graphics.
unless you actually think the use of height actually constitutes 3D gameplay, but that's arguable (and exists in explicitly 2D games)
>>253315470
Rescue was a shit mechanic only good for mounted units, i'm glad IS aren't afraid to replace bad mechanics.
>>253318847
Why the fuck would you get Untold?
Its just the first game with a shitty story hamfisted in, and it takes away your ability to make a party of characters you like.
>>253322950
its just not worth it a whole lot of the time, honestly is there any game that utilized the 3d function well?

Whats it like to be so young and ignorant, and yet still so opinionated?
>>253323625
anon, he's not booting up a game.
You're comparing a functionality of GBC that the 3DS has, but to something that the GBC does not have. an Internet connection.
>>253328318
You can play classic mode without any of the new story or premade characters. However, beating the story mode lets you use the two new classes in classic mode.
>>253328442
I don't even know how you would
the wii had very, very few [games] that used the wiimote well though
still worked out fine because the classic/gc controller is still a good scheme
and the same is true for the 3ds I think. Even without the 3D, the control scheme is still good for games. particularly having a decent analog
>>253329113
It's just a damn shame that they decided to chase the 3D gimmick instead of giving us a higher resolution screen and such.
>>253321386
The 3DS's library is literally half ports. Which is ironic, considering that's the primary criticism of the Vita's library.

I swear vegans are the perfect target for 4chan. They've been made fun of so long that it's as tired as anything else on 4chan and they have moral standards.

It has a great atmosphere and fun puzzles. I haven't encountered a lot of games like it so I think it's worth it.

There is absolutely no point to being a vegan.
Give me one good defense for being a vegan.
"I don't want to hurt an animal."
Well you're hurting and killing a plant to eat your food.
"I don't ever want to eat something that came from an animal."
You do realize plants grow out of soil. Which has been fertilized from the waste of animals, right? And eventually somewhere in history, an animal has died somewhere and become part of that soil. There's no way NOT to be eating part of an animal.
>>253329459
>literally

>>253332045
What point are you literally trying to make?
>>253329326
I'd rather have the 3D effect than have better graphics, I don't really care for graphics but I find the 3D effect neat.
>>253332154
That the 3DS's library isn't literally half ports.
>>253332651
And neither is the Vita's.
But the 3DS has a similar amount of ports to the Vita.
>>253322950
I use it for most games. But games that have SSAA when you turn 3d off I'll turn it off except ocarina of time since that has the best 3d
>>253331928
So are you just completely ignorant to how farming works or ...
>>253334673
....or you are. You can make something as 'organic' as you weant. But that doesn't mean that an insect or animal hasn't died on that spot somewhere throughout history.
>>253334868
Wait, you think vegans wouldn't eat something because something died on the spot where it was harvested
That's literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. Sometimes I misuse the word literally , but no, that is by far the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. How did you even come to that conclusion? Am I missing something? I have to be missing something. No one can be THAT stupid and still know how to type.
>>253335387
>Wait, you think vegans wouldn't eat something because something died on the spot where it was harvested
If Vegans won't get something that used animal fertilizers, what makes you think they wouldn't eat something if a whole fucking animal died there?

>>253314281
I need to stop coming here. I'm reminded every day of these games and it makes me want them even more. Fuck you Square.
>>253338249
Ok. The point is that the fertilizers/meat/other animal products come from a place where the animals are mistreated and buying them supports animal abuse.
>>253330851
They're an easy target because they are in majority naive, ignorant morons. In this modern world, a diet free of animal products is doable, if difficult. It's not even impossible to be healthy. But pretending as though it's optimal for health or some sort of singly moral method of survival is pathetically short-sighted and childish. This? Right here?

It's not that great as Luigi's Mansion. The ghosts are plain and boring, it's not one long game instead its cut up into segments (think SM64 kinda which each location having a certain mission.)

Crystal was the only good one. But who cares, both gens are shit compared to DWM which you failed to mention.
>>253341513
Yeah. And another 'tenant' of many Vegans is that they won't eat anything that comes from animals because they are 'sentient beings'. So the idea that they would eat a plant that grew with the aid of a dead animal would repulse them.
>>253331928

>Veganism /?vi???nJz?m/ is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products, particularly in diet, as well as following an associated philosophy that rejects the commodity status of sentient animals.
Thinken about getting a 3ds as i intend to travel a lot this summer and going to USA this whole autumn, and my laptop aint really fun to play games on, so i was thinken about buying a used 3ds from game (120 pounds). Should i go for it? Also if so, recommended me a good selection of games for the trip. I assume you cant use americlap games on a yurop ds
>>253313980
God no. Its the worst Nintendo Handheld yet. Its not even beating the PSP
>>253344834
The 2DS is going for £80 and i'm sure the 3DS won't be too much more expensive new. If you get one, make sure you get A Link Between Worlds, Pokemon X/Y if you're still into that, Fire Emblem and Virtue's Last Reward. I've played all those and they're pretty fucking good.
Recently, i've been playing my Vita more, i love the lack of region lock on it. I can order any weeb ass game from play-asia with free delivery to the UK and play. I've got Soul Sacrifice Delta (best game on Vita imo), Persona 4, Muramasa Rebirth, Dragon's Crown, MGS HD collection, Gravity Rush etc. I've also got FFX HD and a few older Final Fantasy games, along with other PS1 classics like RE2 and 3, and Dino Crisis 1 and 2. All fit on 1 8GB memory card thank god.
>>253346227
16GB memory card, my bad. Also Muramasa Rebirth, Dragon's Crown and Gravity Rush were free on PSN+.

>>253350652
>>253350680
Do we know if it's going to be on the Wii U. I know Horii wants it on a home console and the Wii U is the best system in Japan right now but I don't know how well the PS4 is doing now that it's out. But yeah I just wish Nintendo stood up against SE a bit more. Have the make an official comment about how they want to release it but SE is stopping them from doing it.
>>253349459
>>253350060
Got it for $10 on an Amazon Black Friday sale, this is amazing.
I think someone translated the PSP version of the original but they have yet to hack it. the port is supposed to be pretty good.
>>253351237
Yuji Horii hasn't confirmed anything. And the majority of websites 'confirming' Yuji Horii has said its on a console are wrong. Yuji Horii merely said he 'would like to see it on a large screen'. Which tons of sites retranslated as 'OMG DQXI ON CONSOLES!!!11'
I would like to see DQXI on a console more than anything. But there is just no confirmation yet. And the Wii U hasn't even sold 2 million in Japan while PS4 hasn't even sold 1 million. Compare that to the 3DS which has sold 16 million units in Japan.....its pretty hard to conceive them putting DQXI on a console.
>>253352632
I know. That's why I worded the way I did. I know he wants it on the large screen (which it's kind of obvious he means home console) but I didn't know if there was any confirmation about it.
I could see Horii just putting on the Wii U (since it's the best sell home console right now) just because he haven't had a pure home console Dragon Quest game in almost 10 years and he was always a fan of home consoles. Just happy he seem to feel iOS isn't actually gaming consoles so outside a random port or so it would never actually switch to it.
>>253353304
I'm kinda afraid he might put it on the 3DS, then 'port' it to a home console like Wii U later. or vice versa like he's doing with Dragon Quest X.
But like I said, I'd love to see it on a console. I suppose if it goes to the Wii U (or PS4) first, I'll be content. Even if it goes to 3DS, I'll probably be fine. Since its suppose to be a single player game instead of multiplayer focused like DQIX.
>>253313980
Yes arguably it already does
>>253313980
