3DS News Thread

This leads my feverish, sleep-deprived, overworked brain to hope that his successor is CUBEBOY!

I'm well up for that Amiibo, as for the game itself, only played the original so far which I loved so can't imagine I won't be having this too.

I really do need to get round to playing at least the first Boxboy . . .

...debatable.

And cue the angry mob pics.!

Balladeer has no Dark soul.

Wait a tick, wait a tick, I've got a good one:

BoxBoy?  More like BolloxBoy!

That genuinely made me.

That feels like a tagline, Balla... except nobody insults BoxBoy! on my watch.

A DoPo, certainly - but I just wanted to express my relief that Picross e7 is coming to Europe before the end of the year. I was beginning to panic.

Phew, no new Picross e within a few months is a sign of the apocalypse I believe.

Why are we all being so mean to Picross e I know it's not the most inspiring series, but it's cheap picross and I always get my worth out of it. Perhaps it's slightly poorly timed with 3D 2 having just come out, but once I've wrapped that up (and I think I'm already over half way) I'll be all over this.

It's the minimal effort put into each new release. Especially given the spartan presentation. I'm a big Picross fan who's given up on the series entirely (free Zelda version aside) because of those two factors.

That's an odd thing to say when Ubi are usually great with their sequels.

Ubisoft games are all the same game, true, but you can't deny they pump lots of effort and dollar in.

I have no doubt that I'll get Picross e7 myself at some point... but at this point it's more of a habit than because I get any genuine surprise pleasure from them anymore. It's like an old jumper that's comfortable but a bit threadbare and you wouldn't necessarily wear it outside the house.

I have a feeling I've said this before at some point.

That's a sight better than Jim Sterling's description of the same.

I was thinking of a certain Ubisoft series

Oooh a guessing game.

What Balla said although I'll still get it because I'm a Picross addict.

The 3DS has just past the PS2 in Japan and now only behind the GameBoy and DS.

The European and North American directs where similar but the Japanese one had a bunch more games like Lady Layton and The Great Attorney (What it looked like).

The 3DS has more legs in it then I thought and for Japan, my post before this tells you what you need to know on why. I hope the games shown like Lady Layton come west for those that want it but when that going to be 2018.

I'm already whilst watching that direct, ohh yeah the 3DS is a thing and Ever Oasis looks cool but I sooner be playing my Switch (buying Switch games) and that's now, not 2018.

I know what you mean - it's difficult to get excited about stuff for a six-year-old console when you've got a six-week-old one to play too (some liberty may have been taken with time frames). Having said that, my oft-mentioned Ever Oasis and Hey! Pikmin are hypeworthy, I'd say.

It's always been the same, be it a Cube + GBA, Wii + DS, Wii U + 3DS and Nintendo have to support both but people only have so much time and money.

Myself I'd sooner buy a console game for £30-50 then a handheld game, but if you bought one or the other you got something different but now with Switch being a hybrid.

It does diminish the special nature of a handheld, not saying I would buy all these games on Switch if they were on Switch as still be too many games but I would be more inclined to.
