What games should I legally acquire for it? I had the various DS/3DS Zelda’s, most of the pokemans up to Black, Bravely Default, The World Ends With You (which i never completed because I was bad at fighting on two screens at once), and Contact (which I never completed because it was made by Suda51). I’m leaning towards steali getting some of the later pokemans because I 100%'d Cassette Beasts and I crave more creature collecting, but is there any other good stuff?
Rune Factory 4 is my favorite game in the genre. If you like Stardew Valley, it’s one of the many games that inspired it. And in my opinion it’s miles better. Not throwing shade, I like Stardew Valley, but it just can’t compare imo
Unfortunately Harvest Moon and its spin offs prominently feature my greatest enemy, schedules, so I’ll be giving it a miss.
Ahh, that’s entirely fair, they can get pretty intense in that sense. Personally that’s a big part of the appeal for me, I love the balance of trying to budget my time and figure out where everybody’s gonna be and when they’ll be there and all. All to follow through on my evil supervillain scheme of becoming everyone’s best friend by handing out gifts to every single person in town every single day while also being the world’s greatest farmer and monster slayer.
So, I fully understand your decision
A bunch of recommendations:
- Mario Kart DS CTGP-Nitro (custom track mod)
- Mario Kart 7 CTGP-7 (Custom track mod)
- Animal Crossing Wild World (Cozy game)
- Animal Crossing New Leaf (Cozy game)
- Mario & Luigi Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr’s Journey (Fun hybrid-combat jrpg)
- Metroid Prime Hunters
- Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate [Circle pad pro required]
- Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (Best in series IMO) [Circle pad pro required]
- Monster Hunter Stories (spinoff pokemon-like)
- Sonic Rush
- Sonic Rush Adventure
- New Super Mario Bros
- New Super Mario Bros 2
- Super Mario 3D Land
- Rhythm Heaven Megamix
- Star Fox 64 3DS
- Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy
Ask away about any of them if you have questions
if you’ve never played Shovel Knight, I personally consider the 3DS version to be the definitive version, 1:1 pixel art to screen resolution with great 3D and easy weapon swapping on the bottom screen
“now, where do I know the name level-5 from…”
Dark Cloud
Dark Chronicle
Rogue Galaxy
Oh yeah, that’s some good pedigree. Definitely gonna give them a whirl.
Maybe try Tomodachi Life! From all the YT gameplays that I’ve seen, it’s a really fun game. Just don’t grind it for 3 hours, though.
