I have a 3DS/DS - general discussion.

We don't seem to have a proper one of these so, if nobody minds?

Anyway, I've been playing NES remix 3DS all weekend. 30 euro delivered off eBay , feels worth it. Not the same value as the Wii U version, but very good all the same.

Was given the gift of MH4U this morning! \o/

Virtue's Last Reward is currently ....... €9.99 on the eshop.
Think I might buy that seeing as it's £17 on amazon

Anyone got any recommendations for games like Hotel Dusk, Ghost Trick etc? I heard 999 is pretty good.

999 is brilliant. A lot of reading, but well worth trying to get all the endings!

It was never released in Europe though so you'll need to import it from the US

Indeed, finished the welcome centre and then hit by the pay to play thing, still its not bad but i think box boy is probably worth the money instead.

I'm surprised they didn't hold the new Pullbox off as a mobile game. I know it doesn't feature any established characters but it would be perfect for mobile platforms.

Mr E

Not much of a freebie.... 5 tutorial levels.

Playtime Plaza is €4.99
Sculpture Square is €2.99
Fortress of Fun is €2.99
NES Expo is €2.99

€14 individually, or €9.99 for the bundle.

Nintendo are the only publisher who release complete surprises like this. No build up, no 6 months of trailers, no previews... just SURPRISE!
They did it last year with the NES Remix games too.

Cheers, always a big fan of freebies.

Check out the Japanese trailer, which shows off some of the new mechanics (including full 3d rotating levels and action levels)

Anyone that would think such a thing would obviously lying, probably to try to justify the purchase of a CDi.

Haven't played 999, but have heard good things. Have only played the sequel, Virtue's Last Reward (Which is a 3DS game, 999 is a DS game) which was excellent.

(Assuming by 999 you are referring to "9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors")

Virtues Last Reward is either currently on sale (ending today, around about now-ish) or going on sale around about now-ish on the eShop, for an accidentally serendipitous price of €9.99 if memory serves. Could be £9.99, which would put it up around €13 but don't try to steal this moment from me with your "facts"!

Codename steam is finally out tomorrow, feels like its been ages.

Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate is nothing like the console versions of Arkham Origins. It's 2.5D, something akin to Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate (bonus points for two games with triple depth names there!)

It's nothing great, but it's enjoyable enough while it lasts.

Lord TSC

Thanks for the advice lads. Can't really afford to get all three in case I don't like one and am stuck with them all :P So I'm gonna try and order OoT and give it a whirl.

Majoras mask can be pretty overwhelming to a newcomer.

Yeah, I read briefly about the whole time travelling mechanic, and while I'm sure it makes sense once you get going, it looks quite daunting for a newcomer to the series

Noticed Batman Blackgate is going really cheap on Amazon? Enjoyed the console versions, but the reviews look dodgy?

Also, anyone play Kingdom Hearts 3D? Loved the older PS games so really tempted to grab it too.

Ordered a cyber gadget grip a while ago from Japan for the new 3DS & just got it today and my god the difference is sublime. So so good ! The comfort!

Phantom Hourglass had a few annoyances - the controls took some getting used to, the repetition of the central dungeon you had to keep returning to (albeit alleviated by shortcuts as your repertoire expanded), and that annoying f'ing boat that kept chasing you... - but it had so many little touches to use every aspect of the console in as many different ways as they could think of. The first time you close the lid to impress information from the top screen onto your map on the lower screen I accidentally let out a tiny giggle.

My mic was broken though, so I never got passed the bit in Spirit Tracks where you get the pipes

I liked them, but they probably are the weakest Zelda games.

I can't stand the 3D Zeldo's.

I finished Link between worlds last week though, it was great.

CastorTroy

Actually it's Zelda Spellman followed by Zelda Williams.

It's probably due to me not playing it until the GBA version long after having played Ocarina.

Ninestein FTW!

Banjo

What? Is your number 1 the Zelda from Terrahawks? You're doing it wrong!

CastorTroy

To be really controversial now, I'll repeat what I said previously that Link to the Past isn't even in my top 5 Zeldas.

Definitely don't start with any of the 3D Zeldas. They all have the problem of taking a couple of hours to hook you and really click. I'd advise one getting some of the 2D Zeldas from the virtual console first, Link's Awakening or A Link to the Past are definitely the best two to start with.

Boo Hiss!
Difference of opinion!
Down with this sort of thing!
Careful now....

I'd start with OoT, its nice and linear, there's plenty of non spoiler guides to help with bits you might be stuck in and its a simply fantastic game.
And the 3DS is a amazing update to the amazing original, with most if not all of the downsides of the original met and corrected.
Twilight Princess is a simple one too, and available for the Wii, so it'll play on the WiiU as well. Its a greatest hits of the series and very easy to get through, a great primer to the franchise tbh.
