Also can't play it if you don't have a Wii pro classic controller.

Even if you happen to have a perfectly good Wii U pro controller sitting on your shelf...

Hehe, we're having this conversation in two threads now. :) Well, we would be, but I won't reply twice, just for the sake of the sanity of everyone who has to read my drivel.

I couldn't even get past the first picture in Chibi - the camera on the 3ds really is horrible.
Click to expand...
The mediocre horrible camera on the 3DSXL is the first thing I noticed when my son started going picture crazy after Christmas with his. In a normal-lit room the pictures he took all look like a 480x640 $20 digital camera from 15 years ago.

I bought Chibi for him, but I think I'll pass for myself until I spend more time with it and see if it wows me. It's 4,000+ blocks, so the game isn't exactly light on content.

You do realize this is like complaining that you can't use the Xbox One controller on your Xbox 360 right?

Well more accurately it would be like complaining that the Xbox One has full backwards compatibility but then forces you to use the Kinect or controllers from the 360.

A Link to the Past is also on the Wii Shop Channel. I just finished playing through it a few months ago. I don't understand the fervor over getting games we already have.

Ease of being able to play it anywhere you want in the house without having to carry around a bunch of controllers.

Exactly, I'd love to be able to fire up Link to The Past on my 3DS by now.

But I suppose they wouldnt be Nintendo if they didnt have their "quirks" now would they?

Seems like they had hard enough time just getting Sega Genesis games to run on 3DS.
Click to expand...
I thought Sega was recompiling the games from almost the ground up for their 3DS versions.

If Nintendo could get versions of SNES games on the GBA, there's no real reason they couldn't do the same for the 3DS. I don't quite get why it gets NES games, but then they pull the "console" excuse when it comes to others.

But this is beating a dead horse, and Nintendo will do whatever it wants in the meantime.

 
Yeah, all I/we can do is speculate, and I should say upfront that Nintendo is a total mystery to me.

One thing about the GBA is that it was basically a portable SNES with different screen resolution and an inferior sound chip.  Or at least that's how it's always seemed to me.  The 3DS is kind of its own thing, with a DS-chip built-in (and the DS chip is what they used to run the Ambassador GBA stuff since the DS chip was compatible with GBA code).  If Sega had just been emulating, I wonder if it would have been as hard.  The impression I got was that it was difficult to get Genesis code to run on a 3DS, but you'd think if PSP can emulate Genesis pretty flawlessly, a 3DS should be able to as well.  The PSP never did do SNES very well, but the 3DS is a much faster system.

Anyway, ramble ramble.  I don't actually know anything about any of this, so hopefully that's kept in mind.  :)

I believe M2 wrote a highly optimized emulator, some of it in assembly, in order to work within the confines of the 3DS's hardware limitations. M2 does some of the very best work when it comes to emulation, even beyond what Nintendo has accomplished with for their own Virtual Console stuff.

As far as SNES games on the GBA, are you referring to Super Mario Advance 2? I think that was a rewrite of the Super Mario World (but I could be wrong). Most of their emulation work on the GBA was limited to NES games.

I think all the "emulation difficulties" excuses are just that, excuses.

Nearly any recent electronic device can be made to emulate GBA/SNES/PSX/N64 games without too much of a problem.  Nintendo is just being lazy...  Which is weird in and of itself as if they would just get their act together it would equate to infinitely more revenue for them.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here but actually most of the more popular SNES games were available on GBA(FFV, FFVI, ALttP, SMW etc.).

I think he just meant that rather than emulating said SNES games on GBA, the games were entirely re-written for GBA as far as programming goes. The NES games on GBA, on the other hand, were in fact emulated.

Exactly. I want to give Nintendo my money, but they won't do a little work, or hire people who can. I KNOW the 3DS can emulate these old games. Hell, it should even be able to emulate N64 games, IMO.
 
The new deals for today:

Code of Princess - $19.99 - 33% Off - Ends 1/20

Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan - $19.99 - 33% Off - Ends 1/20

Phineas and Ferb: Quest for Cool Stuff - $19.99 - 33% Off - Permanent Price Drop

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers - $19.99 - 33% Off - Ends 1/20

 
Super Little Acorns 3D Turbo - $1.99 - 75% Off - Ends 1/14

If you have $2 to spare on your eShop account, I would suggest not missing out on this one.  It's hands-down the best 3DS-on-the-toilet game. 

 
I wonder if we'll ever see 50-75% percent off sales like on PSN+. Would love to pick up Soul Hackers at that kind of a discount.

Any of these worth picking up for an absolute begginer to those sagas?

It's been forever since I'd played another SMT game, but going into Soul Hackers I didn't feel like I wish missing out on any of the story beats. It appears to be a pretty much self-contained game. The 3DS version is a port of a Japanese-only Saturn game from the late 90s, so some of the gameplay mechanics can feel a little dated/cumbersome. Once you get a grasp on things there's plenty of fun to be had if you're looking for an old school JRPG. A few exceptions aside the English voice acting is very well done.

YES, PHINEAS AND FURB!

(...joking just in case...)

edit: Woops, someone already said that darn it.

Any of those games would be just fine for a newbie to the franchises! They're all self-contained really.

The eShop versions of first Party Nintendo games never really go on sale, right?  I just picked up a XL and want to get some of the must haves (3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Dream Team, Luigi's Mansion).  No point in fruitlessly waiting for a sale on these if I want them digitally, huh?

Yeah I recently sold my physical copies and switched to digital with Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, Pokemon, and Zelda. I don't remember the last time a 1st party Nintendo digital retail game went on sale (if anyone wants to chime in) and like you I don't think it's worth the wait if you are going to be playing the games regularly.

Nope, they generally only put their VC stuff and occasionally their eShop exclusives, but they don't touch the retail stuff. You're fairly safe in that regard.

 
Thanks, that's what I figured.  I was able to get a few of the eShop cards when they were 20% off at Best Buy, so at least whatever I get will be 20% off.  Better than nothing.  (Thinking back, I really should have picked up more of those cards when they were on sale. Got $60 for $48, but I'll burn through that pretty quick it seems.)

 
Yeah, my new policy is just to buy the first-party stuff I want the day it comes out (as long as I'm assured about its quality, which is usually high with Nintendo games anyway) since they never go on sale and I want the eShop versions.

That also means there are some older releases I've missed and still have to buy, like Luigi's Mansion and Super Mario 3D Land, but they're no longer new, and they're full price, so I have no excuse to buy them.

This was my thought process regarding first party titles and the 20% BBY eshop cards. I got 3D Land digitally. I prefer digital and it makes the decision easier when they're on games I know I will replay plus 20% off and no tax if you set location in Delaware.

The UK eShop recently had a flash sale on 1st party Nintendo games. This looked to be in error though.
