Official Nintendo 3DS Discussion Thread - Specs, Tech, Price? It's all here!

It had Zain, and Geemel, and, uh, its own weakness cycle, and, uh, and you could summon Zero, and, and, you could do the SF techniques with any health.

...ok, yeah, almost nothing original. Honestly, I don't think Xtreme sucks (one of my most replayed games), but since it pretty much does nothing of its own there's not much reason for its existence.

[Hypershell]

Well... a Mega Man game that "sucks" tends to be pretty average/tolerable compared to what else is out there.

However, besides this:

since it pretty much does nothing of its own there's not much reason for its existence.

there is also:

-Excessively high pitched instruments (aka Rockman World 2 syndrome)

-Writing replays into the story.  Seriously?

-The armor does almost nothing.

-Lack of dash access (Start does not work for actual hardware, though I guess it helps in emulation)



Basically anything Xtreme1 did, right or wrong, Xtreme2 did better.  The stages have splashes of originality while still retaining heavy tributes.  The final boss is not lifted from a previous game, nor are the other two "giant" bosses.  The music's better.  The armor's better.  The cutscenes are better.  Dashing is better thanks to easy air-dashing with proper momentum (take that, PS1).  The big tank and the final boss emphasize teamwork between X and Zero.  Later staples of X/Zero/ZX were first presented here (Scramble Change, Shadow Dash, walking/dashing saber attacks, aerial saber projectiles, and even Model OX's OIS buster).  It's the only portable game other than ZX1 to feature playable Zero with Earth Gaizer (pretty sad that a 4-game "Zero series" can't challenge that).  Xtreme1's Mavericks are thrown in for shits and giggles, and Gareth and Berkana pretty much kick the crap out of Zain and Geemel.

Plus, Iris is in it.

-Honestly, they never bothered me.
- I thought it was nice >.>
-True
-To this day, I still don't know how I not only tolerated it, but actually found it comfortable and liked it. Yes, I do mean on a GBC.

Guys, you're thinking in the wrong direction. Why not just;

Megaman Xtreme 3

[xnamkcor]

As long as Lucas voices Zero.

[Align]

But it won't be the same without those stumpy sprites... They looked so cuddly, somehow.

No argument here.  It's just that PB needs an Xt2 remake for the sake of dash-wall-kicking, so that he can be assed to play it.

[Align]

To be honest I think airdashing everywhere might be part of the fun, since it means you're effectively flying 70% of the gameplay.

That's why you learn to command dash off walls.
Assuming the wall is "Forward"

f X  XX

B      XXXXXXXXX

Edit: Just played it for a bit. It seems like you always dash jump off the walls. I'll have to explore more.

[VixyNyan]

Everyone with a 3DS should be getting a notification by now, saying that system update 2.0.0-2 (J/U/E) will be available sometime today. ^^

Go eShop and Internet Browser~

[Hypershell]

I got mine at about 1:30AM last night.  Nintendo is such a tease with this.

In Xtreme1, the leg armor upgrade is an auto-dash-wall-kick (in addition to breaking walls by wall-kicking).

Agreed.  That, and X firing a constant stream of charged shots.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Still no update. It's June 6th. WHERE IS MY SHANTAE DS.

[Solar]

Is it sad I'm trying to update my 3DS every 10 or so minutes?

Posted on: June 06, 2011, 11:33:06 PMWHY DO I FEEL SO EXCITED FOR SOMETHING AS SMALL AS THIS.

[VixyNyan]

I told you to wait at 7AM RPM/EU time because that's when updates show for VC/Ware on Wii. I think it's different in US tho I think, where updates show up later in the evening RPM/EU time. ^^;

btw updating now~ </wii>

Posted on: June 07, 2011, 09:53:36Aw, cute colorful hearts (and sometimes balls) fills up the package/game you are downloading, and turns into a present. Similar to DSiWare. Adorable. ^u^

Posted on: June 07, 2011, 10:05:56 3D episode of Game Center CX, where Arino is playing Excitebike 3D~ And the 3D effect of the actual episode is so beautifully sexcellent~

[OBJECTION MAN]

So at about 1AM EST, the update was available. I got it, and tried to access the eShop. SERVICE UNAVAILABLE.

AUGH.

So I said f this, I'm going to bed. Wake up middle of the night, I figure hell lets get on the eShop. It worked. I got Shantae DS. It is awesome. And I had to force myself to stop to go back to bed. Now I'm zombie mode today.

Vixy... I don't think anyone has said this ever before, but...

You are such a girl!

[VixyNyan]

[20:17] <@VixyNyan> guys, a precaution
[20:17] <@VixyNyan> if you're going to use the 3DS eShop
[20:18] <@VixyNyan> don't use the pre-selected tags or buttons that already are showing
[20:18] <@VixyNyan> use the Search feature and select the type of game you want instead
[20:18] <@VixyNyan> like "3D classics" "Game Boy Color" etc
[20:18] <@VixyNyan> why?
[20:18] <@VixyNyan> because Nintendo are hiding some games

With that, I found some more games I didn't find before. ^^;

[Turian]

With that, I found some more games I didn't find before. ^^;

What games did you find Vixy?

[VixyNyan]

Donkey Kong '94 for starters, and other games that are about to get released within a couple of days.

[Turian]

Yeah, but I just noticed that your favorite game is Rockman World. This means you are looking at the Japanese eshop. Which means your gonna get different games.

[Hypershell]

Point being the front page is what they feel like highlighting, not necessarily the full list of new releases.

[VixyNyan]

There's at least 6 Game Boy VC games on the JP store.

[16:55] <@VixyNyan> ok let's see, Super Mario Land, Downtown Special Kunio-kun (River City Random), Phantasm, Baseball, Hoshi no Kirby, Rockman World
[16:55] <@VixyNyan> Phantasm is a 2D action game by Jaleco, with cool music
[16:55] <@VixyNyan> I saw a video and it looked ok
[16:55] <@VixyNyan> but I will wait for that one
[16:56] <@VixyNyan> might be better games later

And there's going to be 3 more games on June 15th. You can always find out what games will show up a week later by using the Search feature in the eshop.

[Hypershell]

First e-Shop update day after launch for the U.S. folks: Link's Awakening DX is up!

They also have a "Games Shown At E3" category, with free video downloads.  IN FULL 3D!

[Turian]

:uses search feature: I got nothin'. Well, I got whats already there. Does this work on the US eshop too Vix?

[VixyNyan]

Well yea it works, the feature is similar to the "Hardware" category on the Wii shop.

It shows every game for that specific system (GB, GBC, Game Gear, etc). All you need is use only the top choice where you select the system, then press "Search" and it should find all the games in that category.
