3DS discussion - What have you been playing!? [April]

[Shaibana]

i believe most games are now made for the 3ds, so in a while you wont have any new games to buy becaus you cant play then on the normal DS.. thats just my guess

[Electroshock Therapy]

I mean, was there anything of significance? We went from GBA to a DS, a console with a bunch of cool features including touch screen capabilities. Upgrading to a 3DS seems lame in comparison. The 3D slider is cool, but is that it? I've never owned a regular DS so I'm not sure what the big difference is other than 3D. It just seems somewhat of a pointless gimmick if that's the only thing they did to it.

my sister has a normal DS, and i have a 2DS..
i have seen the 3DS and as far as i know the 3d stuff is more or less the only 'new' thing.
+ the 3ds has that conmunication stuff etc.. that MI-park thing

The screens on 3DS are higher resolution, it has more RAM and a better processor than old DS. The 3DS XL is physically way bigger and brighter too, which is great for old geezers with bad eyes like myself. Also has an analog stick and camera, if anyone cares about that. It's a definite upgrade over the old DS. Evolutionary rather than revolutionary, maybe.

It has the 3D effect and has more power in the system so you can have better graphics and whatnot. It has the one analog stick (though only one). It doesn't really have any other innovations if that's what you mean. It does have some great games on it that would be worth getting the system for, though.

I think I actually didn't play my 3DS at all in January. I've been busy playing other systems when I do play games. Eventually I should get back around to playing Pokemon X and the Bravely Default demo.

Thank you. I didn't realize what all it had to offer. I guess it's like NES to SNES. Mainly for better graphics and bigger storage rather than something revolutionary like, say SNES to N64. Makes sense. (I hope this post makes sense to other people )

The main upgrades are the 3D, which I can't actually use based on poor eyesight. However as the 3DS is the new iteration of the nintendo handheld, you can't play new games on the old consoles.

3DS brings about streetpass, which you can see here http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki/StreetPass. It allows for the communication between 3DS automatically if they are in range to trade data between games. Pretty cool function actually.

A cool function that no one wants to talk about. I made a thread and everything.

January 2014
Steps: 2,697

Senran Kagura Burst 18:55
Pokémon X 15:17
Final Fantasy III 9:58

I play Senran Kagura Burst for the articles. Alright, joking aside, Senran Kagura is a really fun and solid beat'em up. All 12 characters play different from one another and one of the has a JoJo hat. And the plot is pretty good too, anime as smurf, but pretty good.

I played Pokémon off and on when I learned how to make EV reducing berries and working on the Dex.

I started Final Fantasy III at the end of the month.

Well... For what it's worth, I checked my top 5. They were as followed

5. Pokemon Black Version 2 - 39:00

4. Kingdom Hearts 3D - 43:12

3. Animal Crossing: New Leaf - 64:26

2. Pokemon Y - 185:04

1. Fire Emblem Awakening - 225:45

Yeah I LOVE Fire Emblem and I still play it today. Easily one of my most favorite games of all time. I have spent WAY to much time on this damn thing, even going so far as completing the Lunactic game mode XD Lunatic+ though? I'm still working on that sadist hellhole..

[Del Murder]

I hope that's more than just one month's worth...

[Dat Matt]

Can't be. here are only 744 Hours in January and according to the stats red mage coffman played for 557 hours. Either it's total play time, or coffman has a problem. (or just leaves his 3DS open and on)

I finished playing Alundra 2 a couple weeks ago. I had been playing for about 2 or 3 days. I got everything except one last puzzle piece and some stuff I need to play darts to unlock. Before that, I had been playing Crystalis to map out the script so I could get a feel for what a remake would sound like.
