Wow thanks for all the recommendations so far! Out of curiosity, is it ok to swap out to a second memory card? I just filled up the relatively small one I had before since I wasn't really downloading games. I bought a much bigger one but I can't find a clear answer if it is safe to store all these on a second card particularly if I'm not going to be swapping back and forth until I finish all the games on the first one. I could just download everything to the second card, I guess, but that sounds like a bit of a pain and I'm lazy.

I transferred all my stuff to a larger SD card. It's super easy. Basically just use a computer to copy everything from the original card to your PC desktop, then insert your new card and paste your stuff onto there. Insert the new card into your 3DS and you're done.

Unsure:
Fire Emblem Fates Revelations (Is this DLC? Couldn't find it on the store. I do own Conquest already but it is currently sitting unopened on my shelf)

I believe you have to buy Revelations through Conquest rather than through the eShop. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Probably Not/Need More Info:
Mega Man V (I think I already have this in a couple of compilations)

MMV (Gameboy) is different from MM5 (NES). In MMV you fight Robot Masters named after planets and instead of having charge shot, you get to launch Mega Man's arm to attack, grab distant items, etc. V has never appeared in a compilation as far as I know.

Also, if you have any interest in Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, get it digital because the physical versions are notorious for having a game-corrupting bug. Atlus has the game on sale for $10 every few months, so keep an eye out for a sale unless you're okay paying $20.

Highly recommend Mega Man V (GB) on the 3DS Virtual Console. It's like $5 and it's better than half the NES titles.

Two survivor horror games that are digital-only:
  • Dementium Remastered (DS version is physical but not the 3DS remaster)
  • Silver Falls 3 Down Stars (requires a New 3DS to play)


Here are a few others:
  • Dillon's Rolling Western
  • Nano Assault EX
  • Fire Emblem Fates Revelations (unless you have $800 to spend on FE Fates Special Edition)
  • 3D Classics Kid Icarus
  • 3D Classics Kirby's Adventure

Of note is that this game never goes on slaw on PSN for some reason. I have it on my wishlist just to track to I can make a topic if it does, but not once in the last 8 months plus has it shown up with a markdown. Perpetually $40.

Yeah I actually ended up buying a physical copy of the PS4 version because I refuse to spend more than $20 on anything digital.

I dont normally make comments like this but these ratings are surprising.

Not to me. I nominated it and figured it would score somewhere between 6.5-7.5 because the subtle environmental storytelling is well done and the climax is one of the most memorable from that era.

Rocky in Rocky IV is basically a superhero. He absorbs at least a dozen knockout blows that would kill any man.

Lady D would need a TJF pic and a fodder opponent to win anything.

You have to expect she's weaker than Wesker and Nemesis, who never did much to begin with.

Would Lady D beat Luca Blight? Sure. Would she put up a respectable showing against Lloyd or Ocelot? Unlikely.

Is Fusion really this good? I havent played it yet but its got the best word of mouth behind it.

It's great and has some of the best boss fights in the series. Only downside is that it's pretty linear and compartmentalized compared to the other 2D Metroids.

If I dislike SoulsBorne but love Ninja Gaiden, will I like Nioh?

My main issues with SoulsBorne games are the clunky combat and the unclear objectives. Like in Bloodborne, how the hell was I supposed to know the gatling gun hunter was an optional boss? How was I supposed to know that I needed to get killed by a certain enemy to access the prison area?

Also, how are Nioh's load times on PS4?

SMB1, and this isn't even close. The gameplay and controls are legitimately timeless, and while the formula has improved, SMB1 still holds up as well as any game from that era.

Zelda is virtually unbeatable without a guide.

Metroid has all sorts of issues ranging from the respawn system to navigation headaches.

you can definitely get a lightly used chair worth like $600-$800 on craigslist or fb marketplace for under $200 if you're willing to go that route.

that's what i and many of my friends have done. personally i got a $1300 herman miller aeron chair for $300 from somebody selling their office space to go to work from home permanently. there are usually similar deals available around most large cities.

personally i think it's very worth it to go for a more expensive chair for comfort (and back health). a lot of cheap chairs i've found to be quite uncomfortable after 6-8 hours

Damn, I didn't know those Aeron chairs were that expensive. They had them at my office years ago, and I figured they cost $200 max.

Any good Aeron knockoffs?

Prime 3 is an incredible game, and the common criticisms of it ("linear, mission-based") are laughable on a replay. It slightly changes the structure but keeps the heart of exploration fully intact. The only criticism I see as valid is not having one interconnected world - but honestly it totally works for the game and allows more variety of locations than anything else in the series.

Yeah, traveling by gunship ruined the immersion for me, but other than that I have nothing but love for Prime 3.

andylt posted...
People talking about the Metroid Prime hierarchy like Hunters isn't here outlasting Corruption. I've been warned off of that game by many a Metroid fan!

Hunters is more of a spinoff than an actual Prime game. It wasn't developed by Retro Studios and the main selling point is the multiplayer.
