My 7 year old ('almost 8' he would say) enjoys mostly mario kart 3ds & mario tennis. Everything in the mario line is ok (although luigi mansion is in english and has lots of text).

Not really - no working flashcards and there has only recently been the announcement of homebrew and stuff for it working correctly *but* it relies on an exploit in an old game that used to be in the bargain bins for about 50p but is now going for crazy money "cubic ninja"

Wrong.

If anything she's too old. As with anything, you get better with experience, you don't suddenly become good just because you're older. (And also when young, you don't tend to not like stuff because you're not good at it anyway. Well, unless certain discouragements are offered.)


Going along with that have a read of the link here : viewtopic.php?p=844433#p844433 about someone who started gaming with their 4 year old

My 11 year old son has a 3ds and is fine with pretty much any game (he also plays on the Wii U and Xbox (360 and One). I don't think there will be many games on the 3DS that an 11 year old won't be able to play because they are too hard...

I like the look of that Woah Dave. I hadn't heard of it before.

In other news... I've been playing Shovelknight for the past few days. It's excellent.

I'm thinking of upgrading my 3DS to the new 3DS. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have the standard version as I want to keep it mobile and I'm not bothered about the XL version.

I can probably find this out, but does anyone know I it comes with an SD card?

Also, will any DS charger work with it? I will need one to transfer my stuff over so will an original DS charger work with it?

Are there any games that anyone can think of that only work on a 3DS equipped with two analogue sticks?

You mean the New 3DS with the nubbin, or the old 3DS with a Circle Pro adaptor? Pretty sure none of them require the latter, but Monster Hunter 4 needs the former.

Aren't games that need them compatible with both the new nubbin and the old add on?

I think you may be thinking of Xenoblade Chronicles. Monster hunter 4 should work with a regular 3DS, although some say it's nearly unplayable without the Circle Pad Pro.

And is that because the game doesn't recognise the D-psd input, or that it just doesn't give the required finesse?

I'm asking for my little brother.

He's undecided whether to buy DS or WiiU.

If buying a DS he wants to get a dual analogue one as he's worried the other models will become obsolete in terms of future games if dual analogue control becomes the norm.

But they are apparently close to £200, for which he figures he could get a WiiU.

He has no 3DS at present,many of course there is the future prospect of Nintendo not continuing to concentrate on development of the WiiU.

I don't know the details of Monster Hunter 4, just that the Circle Pad Pro isn't required as such, but comes very recommended as the game was designed for it, and without you have to control the camera using a digital direction pad on the touchscreen, which sounds awful. The Circle Pad Pro is very cheap, though.

The real problem is the increased power of the New 3DS, which is the real reason games like Xenoblade Chronicles are not backwards compatible. Whether developers or Nintendo itself will abandon the old 3DS is anyone's guess at the moment. I haven't heard of any other games requiring the New 3DS, but I have not been paying much attention either.

As an aside, the 3D apparently works a lot better on the New one due to some sort of head tracking voodoo.

The Wii U is a whole different kettle of problems. It is now rumored that Nintendo will abandon it in favor of mobile games, maybe as early as next year.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that most people never buy add-ons, so there are probably very few people out there with the Circle Pad Pro. Which means that any developer deciding to require a dual-analogue set up might as well make it exclusively for the New 3DS and take advantage of the extra oomph. So the Circle Pad Pro should probably be ignored when deciding which console to get.

I think the rumours of its death have been greatly exaggerated. If you can pick the 32GB up for under £200 like I did then it's well worth every penny with the library it currently has, and there's still Zelda U and the new Starfox game to come out.

Does anyone have any notion/remembrance of a game for DS (I think it was DS rather than 3DS), where you basically had to program your own micro games? It may have had something to do with Wario, or I may have completely made that up. It basically presented you with simple game mechanics then you had to build the playable micro game out of the set commands and actions.

I'm sure I didn't just dream this, but it seems such a fuzzy memory that there is a small chance I may have.

I picked that up in Toys R Us this week for just £4.99. I don't know if that's a good price or not but it was less than a fiver so it was ok with me.

Yeah, you can do exactly that as long as it's going back in the same console.

Although if it's a 64gb or bigger card, it's a little fiddly, because you need to format it in FAT32, and neither the 3DS console or Windows will let you do this for cards bigger than 32gb. You need to grab a 3rd party tool. I think I used this and it worked fine.

Edit: Oh wait you're using a 16gb card. You can format it with a PC or with the 3DS itself easily enough then.

Someone tried the project x zone demo. It is quite gun. A light weight pseudo phone emblem mash of Japan animeren characters and Phoenix Wright
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016- ... e=comments


Not sure i will be enjoying it for a whole game though.


Finally put a 32 gb card in it and filled it partly with nice little games from the eshop. Finally giving retro city rampage a good crack.

I played and completed the first Project X Zone and it took about 60 hours to do. It was good, interesting and sometimes funny but it did drag a little towards the end. I'll probably buy the second only because Ryo from Shenmue is in it.

He doesn't but apparently he does keep asking if anyone has seen any sailors. I've seen a screenshot of someone chastising him because of it.

the 3ds version of sf4 is heavily discounted by the way, so now fits on my 3ds 32gb SD card.. it's 8 euros (6 pounds?) at the moment

so, the snes has arrived on the 3ds e-shop.. but only for the new 3ds (the nintendo direct video citing that the button layout is similar)... mario world, earthbound as first games...

Is this true?

People really need to do their research about these sort of things. The problem isn't emulating the SNES's CPU. It's emulating the rest of the system, like its PPU, which is the problem. Why could the DS do it to an extent? Because it has 2D hardware, improved from the GBA, to offload PPU processing. It's not exactly capable of all that the SNES's PPU could do (like offset-per-tile or tile priorities), but close enough. The 3DS in 3DS mode lacks any sort of 2D hardware, so it either has to do it all by software-rendering (which o3DS can't do at 60fps), or use textured polygons via the GPU, which lacks necessary capabilities to mimic what an SNES would display and is pretty problematic when scanline manipulation comes into play with all BGs, causing a rough estimate of up to 2.66 million polygons per second needed to render in a worst-case scenario with most games running in Mode 1 (3 BGs).



furthermore, meteoroid prime is aimed at the new 3ds too, looks quite great..

Downloaded the demo of hyrule warriors legends, fun, but seems a bit samey after ten mins, should i start discovering deeper layers?

new kirby

by the way.. i saw that advance dual strike is now available for the WiiU shop virtual console... can some explain why they don't put that on the 3ds e shop.. the 3ds can play ds games, so why not? (i have the game already.. should start playing it again)
