3DS News Thread

I always appreciated the Rune Factory series, even if I didn't invest.  Sad to think that I may be partly responsible for keeping RF4 from these shores. 

On a lighter note, pirates love piracy so long as they're not the ones being pirated.

Nooooo! I love the Rune Factory games, was really looking forwards to getting that one. Might have to turn my eyes to a US 3DS...

Wow. Time to dust off my American 3DS again, which so far has precisely one game on it - Devilish Brain Training.

EDIT: Downloaded. It took ages.

That's ok, will just import the US version. My 3DS is region free isn't it...

You manged to get yours to use the region free hack Fancy.

Nope, I was being sarcastic.

April 14 sees a collection of the first three Phoenix Wright games released for 3DS.

Only on the Japanese console for the time being

If the Phoenix Wright Trilogy came to Europe, I wouldn't invest. I've beaten them all already and the replay value is not particularly high, in my opinion. However, I would encourage anyone who hasn't experienced the games yet to buy it.

Pass. They've ditched the gorgeous, pixel-perfect sprites in favour of the ugly upscaled artwork (which looks like a Capcom intern badly traced over the sprites with markerpen) in this rerelease, which is a deal breaker to me.

It's instantly noticeable if you watch the trailer here (http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/22/ace-attorney-123-wright-selection-gets-debut-trailer/) in HD.

New update, aparrently: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/news/a546027/nintendo-3ds-update-improves-system-stability.html

Is this the most anime game on the console?

Been hearing good things about that, so much so I might import it from USA for VITA. Instead of waiting for a EU 3DS release.

Unexpected news! Tomodachi Collection is getting localised, according to the Wall Street Journal!

Quote :

The company is now working to decide what can be kept and what needs to be scrapped for its overseas launch of “Tomodachi Collection” — or “Friend Collection” — a 3DS life simulation game in which Miis from consoles can interact with one another and develop via mundane activities, such as exchanging food and clothing.

If I can't marry Hitler and Mugabe and create a little dictator-baby family I'm not interested. (folds arms)

Now going to post it. Also formatted it for clearer reading.

I actually preferred it with the line-breaks by month, but either's good.

Next month will be good for me, also good to see a release date for Mario Golf

I completely missed this. Really hope it makes the transfer. I am tweeting "yes of course you muppets" in spirit.

Prepare yourselves.

I just hope there are less ruddy flowers in this one. Also, more Mega Picross. (Hush, ZJ.)
