It has some added content, as well as a new translation, as the original translation was a little off in places. Some people like the new translation, some don't because it isn't exactly how they remember it, but I thought it was just fine.Is Chrono trigger the same as the SNES one? I mean, I've played it a dozen times as it is.
The DS isn't region locked. It will play games from any game except China and only because it doesn't have a certain chip to display the Chinese characters. The Chinese iQue DS can still play everything though. I KNOW the 3DS is locked though, so only buy it for a region you're going to have good access to games from.I'm in the states for about 2 days for my sisters wedding and I'm thinking about picking up a DS. If I did, I'd have to choose games carefully because the DS is region locked and I won't be able to pick up anything new until I come back to the states again. That being said, if you had to pick 2 or 3 essential DS titles that could keep you occupied for a while, what would they be?
Oh, a 3DS. You need to specify there are different DS systems. DS and 3DS aren't just variations--they're different generations of handheld.I bought a 3Ds XL. Based on the games thee, I picked up link between worlds, Pokemon Y and bravely default. That should do it for a while I guess.
Those would be my recommendations along with Super Mario 3D World.I bought a 3Ds XL. Based on the games thee, I picked up link between worlds, Pokemon Y and bravely default. That should do it for a while I guess.
You mean Super Mario 3D Land?Those would be my recommendations along with Super Mario 3D World.
There a very few "useless" Pokemon unless you are talking competitive battling... and even then it's only because certain types and moves tend to dominate the metagame. For instance, Stealth Rock was killer one generation, so if your Pokmon wasn't strong or at least not weak to Rock, it was basically worthless.Well, I just found out that this month there is a promotion to get a free Pokemon X/Y download code if you bought a DS/3DS and one of 7 select games. Wish I had known that before I paid for Y. On the other hand, I can pick up Mario land 3D and get Pokemon X and have them both. That's kind of a win.
Speaking of pokemon---I havent played a pokemon game since Red/Blue--unless you count the N64 Pokemon stadium. I'm both amused at how much hasn't changed (same basic starting pokemon types, bug-filled starter zone, tentacool infested water) and how much is going way over my head, like the idea of breeding, temperaments, all these little "training" mini games that seem like a grindfest, ect. That being said, It's addicting as hell. I always kind of wonder just how many "useless" pokemon there are floating around at this point. I'm sure there's a metagame list out there that probably lists the majority as not worth training, which always seemed to me to defeat the purpose of a game with such a diverse cast of creatures.
Smogon, one of the big names in competitive pokemon battling, uses a tier list so that all pokemon can be used. Some pokemon are just downright stronger than others, and thus are in a higher tier. So pretty much every pokemon can be used in competitive battling, if one of your favorites is on the weaker end of things, you can always build a team around their tier and not have to worry about someone with all legendaries sweeping your team.Well, I just found out that this month there is a promotion to get a free Pokemon X/Y download code if you bought a DS/3DS and one of 7 select games.
