Nintendo 3DS

[Opium]

I'm excited about Paper Mario 3D. If it's anything like the rest of the series, then it's sure to be a blast.

[okey]

Besides a new Harvest Moon coming out in June suddenly things are looking a bit quiet on 3DS?

Dunno if to pick up Mario Kart or not though. Not interested in Kid Icarus and the Metal Gear Solid demo was pants.

Mario Tennis is coming out pretty soon!

...

...maybe E3 will bring some good stuff.

You're wrong. You are interested in Kid Icarus.

And MGS3D is pretty awesome if you have a Circle Pad Pro (which I don't - but I'm working on it).

FYI, the Mario Kart 7 patch is available. Check the eShop for the download.

It's probably a little old, but I found this today and thought it was pretty relevant.

[Naner]

... That doesn't come off, does it?


Anyway, I had issues with my R button today. Seems to be much better after blew on the button cartridge-style.

Hope for his sake it does lol.

Anyone else surprised that a new Advance Wars hasn't been hinted at yet? I'm hoping for something at E3 though. Think I'm going to hunt down some DS games that I missed out on whilst wait for something that grabs my attention.

Advance Wars is made by Intelligent Systems, who was making Fire Emblem: Awakening until now. I'd say they'll start working on an Advance Wars now.

Does no one else see that horrid face? Just curious.

And MGS3D is pretty awesome if you have a Circle Pad Pro (which I don't - but I'm working on it).

You know, I'm trying my hardest to stay away from that devil, but I may have to concede defeat. Regardless, I have already finished Snake Eater 3D, and I was impressed with how the 3D effects translated into the cutscenes and environments.

[Naner]

Oh yeah. From the little I've played of the game so far... All I can say is that it's amazingly immersive.

Mario Tennis Open is a pretty fun game; something the 3DS has lacked since launch is a quick pick-up-and-play title (except for maybe Pilotwings Resort and maybe RE: Mercenaries), and MTO fills this niche pretty perfectly. You can easily get a few games in during those idle few minutes between real-life events without having to commit a great deal of time into playing (Yes, MGS3D and KIU; you're both awesome but I sometimes don't have time to play fifteen minutes or more at the time.) and the 3DS is all the better for it now.

Of course, I'm getting frustrated. Diddy Kong's kicking my ass in the Banana Cup singles semi-final. Tricky characters tend to have the rule of the roost until they actually play a competent Speed type, and Diddy's filling that role just nicely right now.

I don't own it so I'm not trying to speak in its defense, but what about Mario Kart 7? Isn't that a pick up and play, quick fix kind of game?

Depends. If you just want to settle down for a few time trials or single races then you can fit it around other stuff, but to sit down and play a whole GP and make progress takes time.

You can quicksave during every game in a MTO tournament; you can't save in the middle of a game (you just get punted back to the start of the game in progress) but even if you just have five minutes to spare you can get a quick game in and still make progress on the tournament.

[HYRUL3]

Ah. I understand now. I liked in Mario Kart 7 the quick race feature, it was fun on the ride to school. Wow that was ages ago.

I'm hearing rumors whispered of a new Castlevania for 3DS to be announced when Konami takes the stage at E3. Could it be?
