3DS Games discussion/Collecting thread

[Stormy-X]

Picked up a 3DS last month after my poor trusty DS Phat beeped its last.

Am really loving it, Mario Kart 7 is a true joy!

My friend code is 1203-9954-6417 if you fancy completely destroying a poor useless fool.

So has anyone downloaded Dillon's Rolling Western? It's a game I was looking forward to for a while but the £9 price has put me off. Pullblox was just over a fiver and i've had 30 hours out of that! DRW looks great but is it worth the high price?

Mootown did, he mentions it earlier on this page.

Ah then i'm blind. Cheers!

Yep indeed It's actually really tough to get into, from what I've read once you figure the game out it's supposed to be really good but it's unforgiving at the beginning and there's no real tutorial so you have to roll around trying to work it all out.

It's basically a game of 2 parts - part 1 is setting up the map, mining, activating turrets etc, then part 2 is the defense. Imagine a tower defense game in real time and in 3D. In the Wild west. I dunno if it's worth £9 yet though.

See that sounds pretty cool. I love wild west stuff so it appealed to me, and the balance of strategy and action looked interesting and original, I was all set to pick it up until it came out for £9. I just can't work out whether to drop that on it when Pullblox was £3.60 cheaper and after 30+ hours I still haven't finished it. I don't have a lot of money and want to make sure I get bang for my buck. Damn Nintendo. Kind of annoying as I read it came out for $9.99 in the US, which equates to about £6.50. If it was that price we wouldn't be having this conversation!

*FINALLY * sat down and beat Ganon/dorf in Ocarina to beat it and unlock Master Quest....been right outside his doorstep for months now! I may finally be able to purchase another 3DS game...maybe Star Fox!

I can add my weight to this Rolling Western argument! Hooray!

I've played the first three villages, and I feel like I'm getting there with it, but initially I found it awkward, confusing and was left unimpressed by the lack of explanations as to how it works and what you've to do. It's fairly good fun (albiet samey after extended play), and certainly very accomplished by the standards of downloadable portable gaming, but I'd honestly like a bit more variety for my £9. You'd struggle to hate it, but when you can get something like Ridge Racer 3D or Super Street Fighter IV 3D for roughly the same price, I can only really say that it's an extravagance rather than anything essential, in my opinion.

Planning to pick up Tekken 3D soon. I know it's been getting some bad press, due to it's limited modes, But it has exactly what I wanted from this game. A complete Tekken fighting experience on the Go.

or Maybe it's just the Namco fanboy talking in me.

^ Tekken 6 on PSP is pretty barebones in terms of different modes, but still enjoyable, so I imagine the 3DS game should still be pretty fun.

Tekken Dark Resurrection on PSP was amazing. From what I've seen, I'm not sure the 3DS game will top that for me but I'll still get it anyway, largely for the classic stages that have been included but also because I'd just get it anyway

Looking likely my 3DS has a fault in that I can't get onto the eShop. Unless Nintendo's email reply tells me of a way to fix it, I might have to send it in to repair.

Anyone here know what Nintendo of Europe's repair service is like in terms of service and repair time? Site says I'd have it back between 3 to 7 days, but just was curious.

I just sent my DSI XL off to be fixed, as it rather annoyingly just turned straight off after pressing the power button, when it did decide to come on, all the settings had gone.

So it was sent off, and I have to say that I was very impressed by the service, I posted it on a Friday, I opted to be informed by text how it was coming along, I got one when it had arrived, when the fault was diagnosed, when the repair was finished and when it had been sent back to me, the console arrived back the following Friday.

So for me it was a very good service, the console is working fine, and whether it is a mistake or not, but I was not charged.

mine was doing this a couple of days ago, update the system or reset your router and delete your connection settings then start again, that should sort you out

also replied to all pm's regarding friend requests

I've tried a free Wi-Fi hotspot today (One at Mcdonalds) and still get the same error code. Tried to update, but it said it was up to date. I know it can't be the router because my nephew's 3DS can get onto the eShop with no problems. Things like Spotpass, Internet and Wi-Fo gaming still work on my 3DS, just not the eShop.

Can you remember what error code you got? Mine was and always is 005-5964.

[TheNewMonkey]

mine was the same as that everything worked apart from the eshop, think the code was 007-3003

Is McDonalds one of those 'free wi-fi' hotspots, but you have to register and by the time you've filled out the form you can't be bothered?

Our shopping centre proudly boasts free wi-fi but even after all the registering and faffing, there are continents that move quicker. My 3DS wouldn't connect through it either.

[ALK]

The first time, it connected just fine and dandy without registering. The second time, it had the same eShop error I get at home, but still could spotpass and whatnot.

I've added ToxieDogg, rapidly-greying, Stormy-X and Nautical Rudie to my 3DS friends list! Should have everyone else already, but if not let me know!
