Infendo / An independent perspective

How many of these 3DS games are you considering?

Watch this video on YouTube ↗ Out of upcoming ones, I’d only go with Mario Land 3D, and to a lesser extent, Mario Kart 7 (because I still think the DS version is the best Mario Kart evar.) What about you?

  1. Animal Crossing 3D. Which hasn't even been announced, so, I'm still waiting!

    (I'm also considering Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked, but I already have the excellent DS version, so I'm not sure that extended version will make me buy a 3DS by itself.)

  2. Already have OOT, but definitely getting Starfox 64, Mario Land and Mario Kart 7, unless they somehow codge them up but I highly doubt that!

    Most looking forward to Mario Kart 7… really really hope they remove that awful snaking! Glad they're not carrying on with those silly bikes on the Wii version! 🙂

  3. Ocarina is easily the best 3DS game to date, and I'm really looking forward to Star Fox 64 3D, but again…they're games I've already been playing for more than a decade. And I'm with you on Mario Kart DS, Blake. It's definitely the best of the series, so Mario Kart 3DS has huge shoes to fill.

    Fortunately, there's Super Mario Land 3D. That game looks incredible.

  4. @InvisibleMan

    Do not buy SMT:DS:O. I was looking forward to it very much, and preordered it. It's the DS version. All of the action takes place on the bottom screen, in fact, in large chunks of the game, the top screen is completely blank. It's really only used to sometimes display enemy information. The intro and demon-fusing "videos" are in 3D, but that's it as far as I can tell, and I'm pretty far in.

    Anyway, I'm looking forward to StarFox, Mario, …erm….Dr. Lautrec…

  5. @monkat.. Is it a good game to get if you never played the original though? I like RPG's, so long as they aren't really slow.. (Golden Sun, FFTactics, TWEWY, etc.. I love them) Just curious.

    I'm planning on getting Star Fox (wasn't sure about this for a while, but eh, might as well). Definitely getting Mario 3d Land!

    Mario Kart.. It's fun and all… but the whole point of Mario Kart for me has always been local multiplayer, which is kinda hard when nobody else has a 3ds.. lol Sorry Mario Kart, but just like Super Circuit, and Mario Kart DS… It's just not happening.

  6. I don't know why Nintendo decided to name the Mario Kart title "Mario Kart 7." Really, no one has been keeping count, and I think a more creative title would suit the series. Even "Mario Kart 3D" would be better!

  7. @Hitokori_Ace

    Well, yes. It's a good game if you like SRPGs like FFTactics. There are turn-based battles after matching up though, not just auto-attack. The original was brutal, and the easy mode (added for the remake), well, is a little misleading.

    You can probably pick up a used copy of the DS version for half the price of the 3DS one.

    Oh, and the voice acting that was added….isn't terrible. I've heard plenty worse, and this is certainly on the good side of the spectrum. Even so, though, I had more fun with the story when I was reading it in my head than hearing it aloud.

  8. Out of those:

    I own Ocarina of Time 3D. So not exactly looking forward to it, because I have it. Not so much interested in Star Fox 64 3D. Zero interest in Pokemon Rumble (just like I had no interest in the first one).

    But I have quite a bit of interest in Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7, they look like fantastic games.

    So one I own, two interested in… not bad, that adds up to about half the games shown in the video.

  9. Maybe if we stop buying the stale old remakes they actually come out with some new ones. Read the other comments about how many of us already have played the originals. Do you really have so much money that you can afford to buy the same games again just to play on the 3DS? I'd rather play on the bigger XL screen anyways. Let's band together and demand NEW games for the 3DS. I bought mine at launch, so I paid more and now I deserve them. Yeah, they're giving me some stale old games to make up for the price drop, but I've ALREADY got those!

  10. @ monkat:

    Thanks for the advice! I have seen videos of the game with sound that feature the new character voices, and let me tell you, the new dubbing is NOT a selling point for me! And I don't really like much the idea that this one comes with an "easy" setting… the 8th day feature does make me curious, though…

    @ Hitokiri_Ace:

    Devil Survivor is, in my opinion, the very best Strategy Role-Playing Game on the DS, if not the best SRPG on ANY portable! Besides the very well designed maps, the demon fusion system makes the strategy even deeper than in any SRPG I've ever played.

  11. @monkat & InsisibleMan
    Alrighty, I might just give it a try then!

    @JoTwo
    Ya, it's called having a job, and managing money well. 🙂 Imma buy remakes, thank you. Having them in 3d IS, however much this is argued, worth it to me.

  12. the price drop makes the 3DS attractive, but if nintendo is significantly retooling it, as rumored, i'm worried about compatibility issues going forward…

  13. I am buying these day 1
    Super Mario 3D Land
    Mario Kart 7
    Tales of the Abyss(I never played it before)
    Starfox 64 3D
    Kid Icarus Uprising
    I've been saving up money for nearly the entire year lol

  14. Paper Mario & RE: Revelations are my top two, but I might get Super Mario 3D Land or Mario Kart 7 later on. And if Phoenix Wright vs P. Layton ever comes stateside, I'll get it day one.

  15. Oh, forgot about Tales of the Abyss ( should have read the comments first 8P)

  16. If there's anything that'll get me to buy a 3DS, it'll be Mario Land 3D. Then I'll probably buy Ocarina 3D. Then if there's nothing else I'm dying to play by the time I finish (or get over) both of those, I'm sure well-kept 3DSes with two of the most popular games will be good for 200 bucks or so on ebay.

    At least they seem to realize the Zelda/Mario/RPG crowd contains most of the people who buy games, so maybe they're not spending most of their first-party development manpower on brain quizzes (yet). Wonder how Nintendogs is selling this time around… I gave it to my niece but I think she spent more time with Face Raiders before getting sick of the 3DS.

  17. Out of the ones shown, i'm really looking forward to Pokemon Rumble Blast. However, the titles i'm most anxious for are: Animal Crossing 3D, Harvest Moon: TToTT, Fantasy Life, and Class of Heroes 3DS.

  18. Will be purchasing Star Fox, SM3DL, and Mario Kart 7. Also looking forward to the Beat Trip collection and Sonic Generations for the 3DS. And possibly Spyro too. Devil Survivor looks good but i don't know if it's coming to Australia.

  19. Got Zelda, and planning to buy all four of the others shown. After that, I'm looking forward to Luigi's Mansion 2 and Paper Mario.

  20. I already own Zelda: The Ocarina of Time.

    Games I will be buying either day 1 or as soon as I can:
    Mario Kart 7
    Super Mario 3D Land
    Kid Icarus
    Heroes of Ruin
    Monster Hunter 3DS
    Pokemon Rumble Blast (or Pokemon anything….)
    Dynasty Warriors whatever (Only on the list as Koei Tecmo says they are making one.)

    Games that aren't as immediate on the purchase list but will be bought:
    Shin Megami Tensai: Devil Survivor: Overclocked (Never played the original, or anything in the series, but love SRPGs and figure I will get the newest, latest, greatest one.)
    Resident Evil: Revelations
    Starfox 64 3D
    Paper Mario 3D
    Kid Icarus: Uprising
    Resident Evil
    Mario Party 3D
    Resident Evil: The Mercenaries
    Pheonix Wright vs. Professor Layton (Never played the Pheonix Wright games, but enjoyed Professor Layton.)

    Games that the jury is still out on:
    Final Fantasy: The Four Heroes of Light 2 (The first one was ok. They need to do better for me to bite. Same goes with if they make a new Final Fantasy Tactics. The first was AMAZING and the other two murdered my soul.)

  21. Oh, and (sadly) will most likely buy the new Tekken ASAP just to sent the message to the developers/distributors/whoever that we want content like full 3D movies on the system too.

  22. I'll be picking up Starfox 64 3D, Pokemon Rumble Blast, Super Mario Land 3D, Luigi's Mansion 2, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Resident Evil: Revelations, and Mario Kart 7.

  23. @RisenDevil. Samurai Warriors: Chromicles is a spin off of Dynasty Warriors isn't? I think it even reuses some character models.

  24. @LegendofPaperZelda

    It is a "spin-off" though I use the term loosely. It IS Dynasty Warriors, just with Japanese history as opposed to Chinese. No, it doesn't use the same character models, but it uses the same gameplay mechanics. I already own Samurai Warriors: Chronicles and have put more time into that than any other 3DS game currently. Koei Tecmo did the game justice with lots of additional content and want to see them do the same thing for Dynasty Warriors.

  25. Mario Kart 7 could be huge if they use Street Pass for Ghost Data. If a lot of people get it then I could get infinite replay ability as I could have like a dozen Ghosts to race each day when I get home.
