I have a 3DS/DS - general discussion.

Best to ask here I suppose.

Getting back into my DS as of late. Is there any super hidden gems I should be looking out for? Love platformers and the usual interesting puzzle games, not mad into rpg's but I like to give them a go if they are not total time sinks. MetalJesus and the likes have some great guides, but I'm think of games even he wouldn't think of.

Games I picked up over the past couple weeks are:

Chrono Trigger
Combat of Giants, Dragons
Orcs & Elves
Children of Mana
Might & magic (loved this year's ago when I had it on DS, sold it, and took me this long to find it again at a decent price)
Bomberman story
DQ joker 1 & 2
Golden sun
Henry hatsworth
Sonic rush
Kirby mass attack

No bad to restart me gems collection I think

So anything I should really keep an eye out that you loved that maybe no one knows about?

999 was great. Also check out GTA Chinatown Wars, Hotel Dusk, Okamiden....

So many!

My DS collection is mental.
Here's some highlights
Infinite Space
Space Invaders Extreme 1 and 2
Aliens
The Castlevania series
Puzzle Bobble Galaxy (works with my Taito paddle, plugs into GBA port on my older DS machines)
Trackmania Turbo
Soul Bubbles
Nervous Brickdown
Metroid Prime Pinball
Legend of Starfy
And a ton and a half more that I can't remember right now!

I cleared out a whole bunch of my DS/3DS stuff recently. Mainly cos the amount of stuff I had I was never going to play was shocking even me.

I seem to be able to happily trade and sell most of the constituent parts of my collection but my Nintendo stuff is fairly immune, aside from the N64 games which I shifted.
My DS/3DS games will simply grow more numerous, and I will love them all forever!

I would pick it up but it's a bit expensive, I remember when I was looking for it a few years back and it was kind pricey then too.

Thanks for some names of good games guys!
Gonna pick up (well, I have already via Amazon's

Tao's Adventure: Curse of the Demon Seal
Radiant historia
Trackmania
Ghost Trick
Etrian Odyssey (the first one, see if I like it)
Lunar Knights

So now I play the waiting game

Yeah, I have that one too, a crazy compilation of new Retro games with missions and goals to achieve, brilliant.

Alice in Wonderland
Line Rider
And don't forget
Etrian Odyssey and its sequels on DS and 3DS, incredible games.

Fire Emblem Fates SE back on nintendo store, get it while it lasts

All this talk of DS has started a dangerously expensive fire burning in my brain...

I've only had my 3DS for a few months and love it, but i've only been playing 3DS games. Hadn't even given a thought to a bunch of classics i could be playing. Chrono Trigger was released on the DS!? The more i learn the more my wallet will hate me.

I got rid of my 3DS XL for a regular 3DS today. It'll take a while to get used to the smaller screens but I much prefer the feel of it in my hands. Hope I don't regret it

Are we talking XL to New 3DS, yes?
Shouldn't be a problem, it's a beautiful machine, plus there's all the faceplates you can now become obsessed with!
Mines Luigi!

New XL to New smaller 3DS. I'm used to it already and love it. Much more comfortable, for me personally. Can't decide on which faceplates to get!:)

Shadowhearth on the previous page was looking to do the opposite!

MilesMorales1

I wouldn't mind going down a size from XL N3DS to normal sized neither. Just a wee bit smaller.

You see, I LOVE 3ds Small factor. Its really cool small device. Screen wise and how it feels like an expensive kit of hardware with its quality build is amazing. My issue is that its just makes my hand soar very fast. I cant get comfortable for long gaming sessions. 3ds xl has a lot more meat to hold on to making it more ergonomic.

I prefer 3ds smaller screens actually. Its dpi is bigger and stuff looks better. Its just my damn hands.

Looks like it I will have to hold on to my 3ds for a while. I just payed 1000eu in one go to broker for my car insurance. Unless I could swap with someone with money their way, but god.... I dont want to go to adverts.ie again.

MarkY91

Anyone play advance wars dual strike?

That along with pokemon games are the only reason I own a DS.

Im thinking of getting ocarina of time though to see what all the fuss is about

CiDeRmAn

Yeah, it's pretty good.
I do have the most love for the GBA game though, that was just perfect, still have it.

Thanks for that link. Some good prices on there for some good games, a lot of crap too though.

Postage is free when you spend over $40 Canadian dollars.

Got SMT Strange Journey, Chibi Robo Park Patrol, Mega Man X collection and 999.

I need to cut up my credit card!

I have been using VGP for years, they always say the package is a cheap toy so you do not get hit with customs and there free delivery usually arrives in around 8-12 days, there express service is handy as well.

The L trigger on my New 3DS XL has kind of stopped working.
It's kind of like it's stuck at the point of being pressed. There is no spring back on the button it back to it normal r4esting place like the other trigger. It can be pressed but there isn't any real tactile feel to it being pressed. Any idea on how to fix it?

Only owned it less than a year.

MilesMorales1

If you got a receipt or proof of purchase, you might be able to get it swapped/repaired.

Anyone know where one might pick up MH4 for a decent price?

As mentioned above, warranty would be better.
If not an option, there are a ton of videos on youtube and instructables etc.. on Google.
I had to fix my Nephews old 3DS shoulder button a few months ago and it was easy enough.
I tried to fix my old DS Lite hinges a few years ago and just left it as it was way too much hassle. This was nothing in comparison.

Littlewood had it for 20 quid not too long ago.

Bought Link Between Worlds the last day on the eShop and absolutely blown away by it. For me, it's close to what the ideal for 3DS games should be. Their use of perspective and music is incredible. Maybe an hour in, so no spoilers! It's definitely making me play my DS more regularly outside of travelling somewhere!

MilesMorales1

Can't decide if I wanna keep my fire emblem SE pre order now. Mainly cos I doubt I'd play it or even enjoy that much, and 90 odd quid is quite expensive for something to sit on a shelf.

I dug out all boxes of my ds/3ds games today. I had all games in cheap case for 3ds. I play only one game at the time and never need others. So instead of them being in crapy case, decided put them back in boxes and put on my lego technic flatbed truck.

My collection is not impressive one bit, but it's very untraditional Nintendo collection hehe. Zelda games are out of place hehe.
