There's also Azure Striker Gunvolt since that just came out today.

Kid Icarus is also part hack and slash, or something like that.  The point is that it's unique and a good game once you get used to the controls and I still need to get it myself.

If it's anything like Space Harrier or Yoshi's Safari, I'm all for it.  I love mindless rail shooters.

Half of it is Rail Shooter for the first part levels and the other half of levels is the hack and slash or whatever.

I may check it out, then.  Seems right up my alley.

Oh, and any good mindless side-scrolling beat-em-ups?  I've already played the hell out of TMNT Arcade, Turtles in Time, and Streets of Rage 2.

There's Code of Princess, Boobie Ninjas Senran Kagura Burst, 3D Streets of Rage 1, and River City Ransom for brawlers that I can think of.

-EDIT-
Also this game: [link]

I might pick up Code of Birthing Hips Princess if I see it when I'm in town next.

As far as the "hack-and-slash" goes, Code of Princess was my favorite.  Great music, funny dialogue, easy to control.

Yes, Kid Icarus is the best thing ever.  Buy it.

Dunno how you feel about turn-based games but the 3DS is certainly not lacking for them.  I loved Project X Zone, and Fire Emblem Awakening is the best damn game in the series (to be fair, they had me at "your avatar can shack up with a grown Tiki", but the game really is awesome).

Those 2 are tactics RPGs rather than straight Turn based.

That's why I didn't say "RPG", I was trying not to reference a specific genre.  Otherwise we get people bitching about tactical RPGs that aren't tactical enough.  >.>

But both are turn based which makes it confusing.

To the surprise of no one the New 3DS will be region locked, which really still doesn't bother me.

Honestly, after the DS, PSP, and PS3 was region free it really pisses me off.

I imported a [parasitic bomb] load of DS and PSP games. Not so much with the PS3 since everything I know of that I wanted came out here.

I never really had anything Japan exclusive that I wanted, especially since I never got into Ace Attorney.  Is there any Japanese exclusive 3DS games that you wanted?

I'm a huge brawler fan so I wanted to try Senran Kagura, and of course if I liked it, it's sequels. It has 2 I think. I know the first one is out here but I'm not out of budget lockdown so I haven't gotten it yet, or know anyone who has to try it.

If Legends 3 came out I would have likely imported that to play early too. Perhaps Smash 3DS too.

Beyond that there is:
E.X. Troopers
One Piece Unlimited Cruise SP (and there's also a SP2 I think?)

So about 5 potentials there. I'm sure there will be many more not making the oceanic jump too.

If it wasn't for region free I wouldn't have been able to buy Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate Stars. I'm sure they've got a 3DS sequel in the works, whether they've announced it yet or not.

Bleach DS 1&2 were really great too. They didn't come out in the US for a LONG time after their initial release.

I saw my first DS Lite last Saturday.  It had dead pixels on the bottom screen, no stylus, and the hinges were extremely loose.  Though, I will say one thing about it...

Its bottom screen was more touch-responsive.  I could use my fingers on it without a problem.  The 3DS touch screen isn't as responsive and sometimes it won't even register my stylus.  Has anyone else noticed this?  Was it because that DS Lite was old and the touch screen becomes more responsive with age?

My 3DS is super responsive; as are all my DS systems.

Did you try calibrating the touch screen in system settings?

I'll mess with the settings, then.  Haven't done so, yet.  Didn't know that there were settings for the touch screen.

As I mentioned in my post in the thinking thread:



I can smack it or hold the upper left corner to get the backlight to turn back on again but its frustrating to have this break on me.

I hope it can last until the New 3ds comes out.

Curiously enough, its stopped doing that since we got out of Glacier.

I'm still getting a New 3DS when it comes out though. Especially if mine's getting ready to kick the bucket.
