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

[Dat Matt]

For those who know of me, I am a huge 3DS fan. As such I love hearing some discussion around the 3DS, especially the huge catalouge it boasts. As such, I suggest we have a monthly discussion thread about the games we've played in the previous month.

To access the list of games you've played, follow these instructions:

1 - Access the Activity Log Icon on your 3DS
2 - Select "Daily Records" menu option
3 - Select the calender icon in at the top of the page to change records from Daily to monthly
4 - Change month the previous month
5 - Select "View As List" at the bottom of the page.


My List for Jan 2014:

Steps - 1380

1 - Pokemon Y

117:12 Hours

2 - Pokemon SoulSilver

53:29 Hours

3 - Pokemon HeartGold

2:58 Hours

4 - Pokemon X

1:43 Hours

5 - System Settings

0:23 Hours

So this has been a huge Pokemon month for me. I've aimed to catch every Pokemon in the game and you can only get some in the previous games. After getting everything with exceptions of the legendaries in Pokemon X, I moved onto the older games. Plowing through them at a rate of knots.


So how does your activity log shape up. What have you been playing in January 2014?



Edit: Now the threads have merged I'm going to add quick links to my monthly update posts if you wanted to jump to a specific month:

Link to February
Link to March

i have played Kid Icarus Uprising this year and i hate it.
the game is very chaotic!
im a person that wants a good story but everything is being told through the action. so im concetrating on fighting the bad guys and get nothing of what they are telling me!

im pretty sure ill be returning this game to the gameshop within a view weeks

ill get my activity logg later :3

116 steps, my 3DS never leaves my house. January was Shin Megami Tensei IV and Crimson Shroud. Two very enjoyable games. February is probably going to be non-stop Bravely Default.

Kid Icarus Uprising... the first game I've seen that has controls so painful they had to ship it with special hardware.

[Shauna]

I've played Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask. I am bad at puzzles.

Also, if I were to check my 3DS activity log, they would be skewed by some massive nerd using it for trading to fuel his Pokemon addictions. So I'll just leave it at that. :3

[Dat Matt]

You're addicted to pokemon Nerd. Speaking of which, you should get bank. Celebi n Junk.

For Kid Icarus, I loved that game. Couldn't finish it for the same reason. I wanted to see what was going on with the story and the back and forth between characters was great. You just can't focus on that during intense action scenes aka the whole game. Control scheme for land combat was hard too. wonder how it shapes up on the XL now I have one...

January 2014
Steps - 2,909
1. Fire Emblem Awakening - 25:04
2. Kingdom Hearts 3D - 16:06
3. Pokemon Y - 0:43

Fire Emblem is very addicting and I play it any chance I get. It's good I was able to beat KH3D as well. It sets the stage for KH3. I only played Pokemon to send my wife a Squirtle.

I'll give my hours when I get home... but I know these are the top 4
Note: I have like... 2 physical 3DS games

Fire Emblem: Awakening
Cave Story
Bravely Default Demo
Pokemon X

Seems like a lot of love for Fire Emblem. Have either of you unlocked the secret missions by reaching S rank relationships?

If you mean the ones where you recruit the children, yes I have unlocked almost all of them. They're pretty fun though not super challenging at this point. I don't use the children very often since my team is already pretty much built, but some of them are hard to pass up since they inherit the skills of their parents. This makes for some deadly combos.

Serina, Cordeilla's child was a one man tank for me. Her abilty to attack again after killing a unit made for a one woman killing machine for me. She literally Solo'd the game for me until the final level.

How do you check monthly activity? I tried but could only find daily.

[Dr Unne]

Daily Records -> Page View -> click the little squares that look like a calendar or a page from a calendar.

It looks between my wife and I, we spent 105:01 in Fire Emblem last year. :o

[Dat Matt]

At the top of the page you click the button that looks like a calender. That changes it from Daily, to weekly, to monthly. If you view by list as well it's easier to review than the graphs.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

It's the only 3DS game I own as the others are regular DS. I have a question. Besides the 3D slider, what was the point of upgrading from a regular DS?

[Shauna]

To play 3DS games that can only play on a 3DS? :3
