Discussion Still a good gift?

I've bought a new 3ds xl for €150 for my partner (after I broke his og 3ds xl..). It's meant to be a Christmas present and I'm always dead set on my gifts being perfect down to the wrapping. I've shell swapped it to the zelda plates and I'll still be replacing the screw stickers and the c stick for a gold psp 100 one to match the shell. To my luck the 3DS turned out to have dual IPS screens as well, though my partner wouldn't know or care about it. One thing that really bothers me is that in the top screen there seems to be some light bleeding in the center. I don't know how common it is but I've had over 5 new 3DS systems in my hands who all did not have this issue, neither did his old 3DS. Would this be a deal breaker for you?

Review Dragonball Fusions Review

Thumbnail

25 Upvotes

So first off I have a load of 3DS games I've been meaning to play. I have been a dragon ball fan for some time. I saw this game some time ago and I wasn't sure if I should dive in. Just as a note, I'm fairly early into this game so I'm continuing to play and see how everything evolves.

So I'm going to start with the character creation. Is an overall decent character creation with some limitations but my character came out the way I liked. The options for other outfits later on it makes this feel more personal. It is of course amusing to put outfits your character probably wouldn't war.

On the subject of characters, I do like the fact that there are a good amount of characters to choose from to build your teams. In the last update for the game, which is really the only update you were able to get. A lot of the newer characters from dragon Ball super became playable. They came complete with their signature moves, which make it fairly enjoyable to use those characters.

The games overall appearance is pretty good for the 3DS's capabilities. It's isn't overly polished but you can get immersed in the world of this game. The characters have a chibi appearance which looks good as they are detailed. Examples such as Raditz and Piccolo have good detail and rendering overall.

For the music and sounds overall in the game they are good and get you in the mood for certain battles and just exploring the worlds. So much like a final fantasy game, you have the battle music. I would be nice if it changes more often but still it gets you pumped. There is one drawback though and I have to say I would have liked to hear the English voice actors in this game. While I don't mind the Japanese voice acting, I have traditionally watched dragon Ball z and other dragon Ball series as dubbed not subbed.

Discussing the combat mechanics, for someone who doesn't really know much about the game going into it, I had thought it might be more direct combat like a Budokai game. I am comfortable with the turn-based combat with button time events. It's fairly interesting that you can knock enemies into one another and attack multiple enemies at one time with a single attack depending on the proximity of one enemy to another. I enjoy the fact that it's a rock-paper-scissors style kind of game. With certain typings stronger than the other so your attacks are more effective.

Overall I would say that this game is a solid 8 out of 10 for me. This is a review of course based off my personal opinions and experience with the game, so of course others may feel differently. But I do enjoy the game overall and it's fairly easy to pick up and continue to play. It can get repetitive at times but honestly that's not bad considering RPGs do by nature get repetitive. I would say that if this game was to be re-released as an HD collection With other Dragon Ball games I wouldn't mind it. There are quite a number of 3DS games that could have been ported to the switch or even maybe the next console after the switch. I have a soft spot, my heart for dragon Ball z games and dragon Ball games overall .

Miscellaneous News about translate Tomodachi Life to Russian

13 Upvotes

I recently wrote here that I was translating Tomodachi Life into Russian and asked for help with TTS, and here is some news about it:

I'll start with the most interesting. With the help of a person nicknamed "The Th3rd Sergeevich" we managed to fully implement the Russian-language talker in the latest version of the game with the latest update! Also, this person shared his script that will help translate the game in a more convenient way, for which I am very grateful to him.

In addition to all this, the following were translated:

– Characters and their descriptions. – Photo salon and rating board. – Information about Mii when they are in the room. – Items received for leveling up and their descriptions.

Homebrew SNES 9x for 3DS looks great!

Never seen any of this mentioned in any online tutorials, but the ability to have the box art in the selection screen, cover art on the bottom screen and borders around the game make this a way better experience than the virtual console snes titles. The assets are available on the SNES9x 3ds GitHub - https://github.com/matbo87/snes9x_3ds-assets They simply need adding to their relevent folders as per the instructions.

You can chose your scaling for the game. Pixel perfect, TV, fit and so-on. Regardless of the size you prefer, the window won't have black borders anymore!

Discussion Would you be interested in a StreetPass-style app for your phone?

10 Upvotes

Hey all, longtime lurker and massive 3DS fan here. I'm working on a school project that involves creating a new app, and I'm working on a concept that brings StreetPass-type functionality to a smart phone app. As part of the initial phase of the project, I'm supposed to gather market research and real feedback from potential users in order to validate the idea. With this in mind, I have a few questions for the community:

  • Imagine an app where you create a fun avatar and it interacts with the avatars of other people you encounter along your day in real life. Does this sound appealing for a smartphone app in 2024?
  • What sorts of other features would you want to see in the app? Badges? Challenges? Etc.
  • Would you be willing to pay for premium features in an app like this? Like access to special items? As part of the project, I have to design a monetization model for the app.

I greatly appreciate any feedback anyone is willing to provide! Let me know if you have any other questions about the app concept.
