Make that a new Fire Emblem too.

...and was that a new Square Enix IP just now?

...and a Kid Icarus anime.


My life is currently bears and Jojos and everything is great.

Personally I was hoping for a Saturday morning cartoon.

The new games revealed in the press conference seem pretty cool.

Also, it seems the second analog will run off an AAA battery.

\Too bad the 3DS has region locking/

I was seriously wondering about that too...I mean, people still use AAA batteries...?!

You don't have enough unnecessary gadgets, methinks. I think I have a D-cell something or other lying around, too.

I guess all I can really say is it isn't exactly what I'd expect out of a $4.4M game

It doesn't even have mouth animations

What? They could have at least added an extra battery slot for a second 3DS battery.

My TV remote uses them!

My Roku remote uses them, and I think it's retarded. AAs would fit just fine.

Personally I‘m glad they are AAA. I have dozens of them in my house that serve no use at all while I‘m always struggling to find working AA ones that are not already being used by something else.

Costco provides me with so many batteries in one case that I never have to really worry about batteries.

Just... why can't they plug it in? I don't think it would drain the 3DS' batteries that much. It's embarassing, really.

If they did that it could affect battery benchmarks. If it uses a battery I have a feeling it could have some other purpose.

Better be a damn good purpose if it's gonna need a whole AAA battery just for it.

Apparently, 3DS sales have increased by 206% since the price drop.

Now how many of those announced games do you think will actually come stateside? I'm betting we never see fire emblem, bravely default, either monster hunter, or the other anime styled games.

Some RPG's better come here because those are pretty much the only games that I play.

I have to admit it is pretty hard to get excited about Fire Emblem after what happened with Heroes of Light and Shadow...  Soon as they announce a U.S. release, then I'll be jumping off the walls and stuff.

I could easily see Monster Hunter Tri-G skipping us, but I would certainly hope that 4, being a full sequel, would make the cut.  Yay for stradle-stabbing wyverns!

Also on DeviantArt, Rumble, DLive.tv, and the Fediverse (@freespeechextremist.com and @bae.st)

4 will come out. I'm more than certain, due to it being a big game, with a big reputation. They wouldn't risk it just making it for a single region.

I just wish Fire Emblem would go back to 2D. Somehow it was much more visually impressive.

What I'd love, would be if they made a Fire Emblem game (I don't care if it's a spinoff for the sake of not pissing off the purists) with the depth and amazing gameplay of a strategy game, ala the Shogun: Total War series. I'd love to lead an army into battle and pick tactics on the fly like that. And get to strategize and send ninja to kill my adversaries while managing my conquering tactics.

It looks dull as dirt. But if it's appropriately responsive and comfortable, that's all I need from it right now.

What are those back triggers for?

Those 2 in the back will probably "overwrite" the standard 3DS L and R shoulder buttons, as it looks like a pain to reach with this thing attached. And I'd guess that smaller shoulder button is R3. Like a GC controller.

But this is just speculation for now, until we get proper info.

If the back ones "overwirte" the normal ones, why is there a front one on the side that extends and why is the normal L button left available?
