since the gba and ds were so much improved after 1,5 year, i'll wait

so finally read this whole thread. .great to see the little sketiscism at the beginning, the early adapters, the the first failure, slowly growing liberary, nothing in 2012, and than suddenly the breakthrough in 2013, a great library, the 3ds xl... only weird thing that i was 6 months after prediction in buying the revamped version;)

Bit dissapointed with mario kart 7,.. the meta structure of wiiu's 8 is in place, and som nice circuits (return, like the cruiseship), but the feeling is weird....

but question: my 3ds discovered someone via streetspass, and i can play against 'her'o9n my 3ds.. but what/who am i actually racing.. an ai profile based on her competence?

Some 3ds news. Mimi now has tamdochi life which is kind of weird but fun. How i know? She was kin enough to send me here welcome editoon. Just made me and my daughter. Wub.

Finished 1 player tour of mario tennis. Too easy. Going to the net still almost always works. As it did with mario power tennis on the gba. Which i'm now redoscpvering pn the wiiu vortual console. Only on the last mario galaxy themed court this tactic doesn't work. But then you'll follow the power zones. In a way it becomes guitar hero at that point.

Got nsmb2 for cheap. Lots of commercials here now about the coins race. We'll see

Funcking hell.. Didn't see this in a shop until now, but bought it now there is a first timers in smash bros sale.. 30% off...
Most exiting onrails shooter i've seen, and the eurogamer review suggest there is a lot of depth too

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012- ... ing-review

Only thing which i kinda of a problem is that i'm left handed, and thos forces me to use the stylus in the right hand... Until now i hust was a bot awkward (first two chapters) but it does slow my reaction time considarably

Sale details.. Tomodachi too https://www.nintendo.co.uk/News/2014/Au ... 11184.html

Kid Icarus on the 3DS is easily in my top 5 games of all time list. I have such fond memories of playing it on the lunch break of a job I absolutely hated at the time and I couldn't wait to play it each day.

Two new 3DS models. Double shoulder buttons, an extra thumbstick, main buttons coloured in the Super Famicom style, an inbuilt NFC connector, takes Micro SD cards rather than SD cards, has supposedly better and less blurry 3D, improved battery life and will have model-exclusive games including a port of Xenoblade Chronicles. Out October in Japan, but we'll be waiting until 2015 apparently.

I can't believe they would split the market like that. You can't even just get that controller thingy for the old 3DS, since this new one has a faster CPU as well for which non-backwards compatible games are already being made. I am not buying a new 3DS, they can fuck right off.

Been playing Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, which I got for Christmas but haven't opened until last week(!).

Oh my. Easily one of the best single-player-orientated games I've played during the last decade, and instantly in my top 10, or top 5, games ever. So I strongly recommend that to anyone with a 3DS, particularly if you liked A Link to the Past, as it's a ALTTP on steroids. Good steroids. Best Zelda adventure since Majora's Mask.

I received a surprise in the post from Russell - Luigi's Mansion. Goodness, I forgot how much joy there was in sticking Luigi in a haunted house. I loved the GC one - this is just as charming. Just pure wonderfun.

I'd be tempted to get a DS based on your post alone (you know, if I hadn't already been massively tempted)

Now to find some monies!

Yesterdays Nintendo Direct announcements

http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/every ... 1100-5076/

Obviously the main one is Majora's Mask 3DS :-)

Quote:
Everything Interesting From Today's Nintendo Direct
by Patrick Klepek on November 5, 2014

Majora's Mask 3DS is finally coming, and a bunch of games have both specific and vague release dates.

Once a moon, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata must find the nearest camera and beginning talking into it. The result is published as a Nintendo Direct. There was one today, and lo, it came with some news.

Nintendo's publishing a long rumored remake (update?) of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask on 3DS. It's coming next spring, and the company alluded to some gameplay changes to make it more accessible but didn't outline them.

Codename S.T.E.A.M., the latest strategy game from the developers of Advance Wars, is headed to 3DS next spring, as well.

In terms of Wii U, it was mostly trailers and vague release dates. Nintendo did promise Kirby and the Rainbow Curse for next February, but Splatoon's coming sometime in the "second quarter," and Xenoblade Chronicles X is "2015." Both Splatoon and Xenoblade Chronicles X sound like prime candidates for games to be delayed much later into 2015, but we'll have to wait and see.

On Wii U's Virtual Console, Duck Hunt's coming with Wii remote support.

The company briefly touched on its new Amibo initiative, promising Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Yoshi's Woolly World, and Mario Party 10 would all receive support for Amibo.

At the end, Shigeru Miyamoto appeared to announce his Pikmin animated shorts are available on both the 3DS and Wii U eShops. He teased some new games he's working on for Wii U, but nothing was shown.

The entire Nintendo Direct is below:

This is usually it. I'm told to go to a certain part of the map, but I head in that general direction and there's no way through to the marker from any direction. I've probably missed a clue somewhere where I need to pick something up or go and see someone first, but it's always reasonably early on.

Yeah, it's not an uncommon problem. I typically go off exploring before returning to it.

Sometimes that causes me to find the way, othertimes it just gives me a fresh pair of eyes.

The most recent one I was playing was A Link Between Worlds on the 3DS, so I'll probably give it another go.

I would persevere. Zelda didn't really click for me until I got into Ocarina of time on the 3DS. I had the same problems as you but overcame them and when I did, i realised that they're great games. Stick with it.

My main gripe is that most of the Zelda's I've played started off fun but then get very dull for long periods of time (hours and hours) before getting real good as the end nears. My time with Skyward Sword in that thread just about sums up every Zelda game I've played. Mind you, I've still never played the "greatest game of all time"-Zelda. I should do that sometime; maybe when it gets a HD remix or something.

Link Between Worlds is a very good game but it purposefully throws out a lot of the Zelda conventions with the weapon hiring and the ability to do a number of the dungeons and tasks in any order.

I think one of the issues people who did not really play a Zelda game 'early' on is that a lot of those conventions and methods of doing things follow on from one game to another and if you dont understand them then your a bit stuck.

e.g. the way a number of them use darkness / the weapon and item upgrades and what they do & the 'hints' given all tend to be something that when you have played through one and understood it you would understand the 'next' game.

And after posting that i read this :

http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2014/11/06/zeld ... ll-matters

And the first paragraph sorta explains the same thing

Quote:
One of the most frequent criticisms lobbed at the Zelda series is that it’s always just the same game, over and over again - that people who love it were indoctrinated as children and are incapable of seeing it for what it is. I have heard this not just from people on the Internet, who are always ready with their reductive criticisms, but from friends, family, a couple of lovers (related: heated arguments about Zelda in bed are deeply unsexy). It always makes me ball my fists and breathe deeply.

Like most criticism that strikes a nerve, there is an element of truth to it. Zelda is a myth endlessly retold. The same basic story - the pursuit of the Triforce, the vanquishing of evil, the disappearance of a princess - guides them all, shepherding you gently between dungeons, towns and the open road. The same well-worn and well-loved toys are brought out of the attic every time: boomerang, bow, hookshot. The same locations, transformed by time and reinterpretation and technical advancement, keep reappearing. All Zelda games, alongside their many technical and creative innovations (revolutions, even), conform to this template. Except when they don’t.

Also Link is the playable character and Zelda is the princess. Not the other way around!

Yeah, it's not an uncommon problem. I typically go off exploring before returning to it.

Sometimes that causes me to find the way, othertimes it just gives me a fresh pair of eyes.

The most recent one I was playing was A Link Between Worlds on the 3DS, so I'll probably give it another go.

I would, because that's a really good game.

My first LoZ game was Link's Awakening on the Game Boy. Was also the first game I played that was near enough to being a JRPG (although it isn't one). Loved it immediately, how such an absorbing adventure could be crafted with just 4 shades of grey, with so many memorable characters and cleverly devised dungeons. Great story too. Played A Link to the Past not long after on the Super NES and the light world/dark world concept just astounded me.

Have never got on with the NES LoZs, and Skyward Sword I gave up on as it had so much repetitive backtracking, and the motion control were too frustrating to endure.

Just had a thought, Nintendo will have to alter Majora's Mask for the 3DS to make it more accessible to players, as you need to play for at least an hour to reach the first save point(!), which won't be a good idea on a handheld system with a not-exactly-great battery life. The time travel mechanism needs a while for you to get your head around too, along with the all copious mental note-taking you need to do along the way.

I got a New 3DS and it is real nice. The 3D effect even works well enough for me to want to regularly use it.

So what about these Amiibos then? Has anyone thought about collecting them? I think they have the potential to be worth a bit of money in the future.

Sadly they're really shonkily made and don't look great at all. Otherwise I'd getting some myself.

Are they? Admittedly, I've only had a quick look at one in Tesco but it looked alright. Shame that. They could be lovely.
