 In the tradition of the Game Boy Color and DSi before it, the 3DS will be receiving a substantial mid-life upgrade in the form of the imaginatively titled "New 3DS". This version will feature a stronger CPU, a revised design including a much-requested second analog stick, redesigned home menu software, and exclusive games.

I don't go for these kinds of things, but Ayabe is definitely an artist/genius/craftsman and this game (like the //Boku no natsuyasumi// games) is miles ahead of anything like it.

A couple extremely crappy design decisions hold it back from true two-thumbs-up status, but if the words "Matsuno" and/or "experimental mini-RPG" sound at all appealing to you it's well worth checking out --- certainly at the price point and time commitment required (i.e. small).
+    * Felix: Pretty claustrophobic. I get that Matsuno wanted to make a "small" game but this one feels too much like it's at odds with itself. Rather just play FFT another hundred times.
+      * Ni Go Zero Ichi: It's a game about exploring a ruined palace in search of a forbidden artifact, like a medieval-fantasy Indiana Jones, while also trying to emulate the feel of playing a tabletop RPG dungeon-crawling campaign. The claustrophobia is the point.
+    * The_Blueberry_Hill: Yeah, I also dig the cramped dungeon feel, as well as the really nice texture work. The characters and story aren't so interesting. But I enjoyed jumping back in on late nights.

Again, name-dropping old japanese dudes: it's [[people:Yuzo Koshiro]]. I'm really tired of retro pixel anything but the fact that his company [[company:ancient|Ancient]] is making games like this tells me that those guys really just know their limitations, and their audience. I think it's cool.

All the sky sequences are just mind-blowingly awesome. Your best fix for a new Star Fox game in those levels. And graphics are stellar. But those controls. I was even playing on a small 3DS.

The entire game(27mbs?) downloaded wirelessly to his cart in a few seconds and we tackled every stage together. It was amazing. I now think //Kokuga// has the best multiplayer co-op of any smup. The sharing of cards and the deliberate slow shots means we were communicating and working together constantly splitting up enemies. Using your sole revival card to bring your teammate back to life so you can fight the boss together is awesome. I'm convinced the game was designed around co-op and much of the design choices were made to make a better co-op smup.
+    * Isfet: [...] This game is pretty much the very definition of slow burn. it feels like it's always teetering on the edge of becoming "boring" but it never reaches that point and so it's consistently brilliant.\\ hard as hell, though! it requires a part of my brain/game-playing abilities that most developers don't really aim for any more.

The premise (anime schoolgirl mecha pilot = president of Neo Japan) sounds like a natural fit for //Metal Wolf Chaos//-style insanity, but for some godforsaken reason it tries to play the whole thing almost entirely straight. Even a //Castle Shikigami 2//-style non-localization would've been a huge step up in terms of entertainment value.

     * RobotRocker: Nearly everything awful about //[[game:Mario Kart Wii]]// has been consigned to the bin and the game just feels amazing to play. The glider mechanic is a heck of a lot of fun and while the underwater sections don't really hit the spot, they are still better implemented than most games. The track design is actually rather fun and takes advantage of the mechanics instead of dumb "Stunt here" parts of //MK Wii//.\\ All the items seem better balanced and it only seems to give out lightning and [[character:blue_shell|blue shells]] when the pack really separates out. [[company:Retro Studios]] also did a really good job of messing with the retro cup tracks to play better with the game mechanics instead of [[company:Nintendo]] just plonking them in and expect them to work with whatever mechanics they had in //[[game:mario_kart_ds|DS]]/[[mario_kart_wii|Wii]]//.\\ On top of that, Nintendo had the sheer gall to put in an amazing online mode. You don't even need friend codes, you just set up a community, post it on your forum of choice and then just join the community like a PC server when people are online.

-    * Ni Go Zero Ichi: Technically a remake of //Metroid II// for the Game Boy, but the game design and mechanics are so heavily reworked to bring them in line with the //Super Metroid// series standard that it really feels more comparable to //Zero Mission// for the GBA. If you've played any //Metroid// game in the last quarter-century there's little that will surprise you - it's not a //Link Between Worlds//-level revelation - but the handful of iterative tweaks in the design are pretty much all good ideas, even the "melee counter" mechanic which initially triggered PTSD flashbacks to //Other M// (a game whose colossal fuckups this one studiously avoids). You'd never guess it was the first non-atrocious 2D //Metroid// in 13 goddamn years.

     * Ni Go Zero Ichi: How do I describe this? If you're looking for a sequel to the first two Paper Mario games, Sticker Star is a disappointment. If you take it on its own merits, though, devoid of any expectations, it's a pretty neat and surprisingly fun genre-hybrid (RPG + adventure game + Mario World-style level progression) with an unconventional but fairly inspired game economy driven by the constant acquisition and expenditure of stickers - your currency for interacting with the game world. It's also one of the nicest looking and sounding games on the system. There are a couple of unfairly hard puzzles that involve finding invisible blocks (that the game doesn't tell you you need to find).

   ***//Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D//**
     * Ni Go Zero Ichi: Basically a shrunken-down version of the Mercenaries mode from //RE5// (with some //RE4// stages and enemies thrown in), with some different "missions" and a skill/XP mechanic added in for longevity. What it lacks in imagination, it makes up for in the fact that, well, it's a faithful recreation of Mercenaries mode, and that's really all it needs to be addictive as hell. The score-driven, timer-controlled zombieslaughter lends itself particularly well to the brief play sessions and ability to dip in and out characteristic of a handheld format.

Only after clearing the game do you gain access to the Real Super Mario 3D Land, where the levels are (moderately) challenging, the handholding is rescinded, and switching off between Mario and Luigi becomes an available and tactical decision. At that point, it becomes pretty much the best 3D action game on the handheld.
