Terraria on 3DS, Yay or Nay?

[ZetaFunction]

An hour before the Nintendo Direct I looked it up and apparently in early 2016, Terraria for 3DS is getting released. When I seen the Direct, it confirmed it. But... I'm personally torn. I play the XBOX 360 version, and it's missing a lot of stuff from the PC version; the 3DS will have even less from what it looks like. I'd love to get it and try it, but I personally don't know if it'll be worth it.

Do you play Terraria, and if so, do you think the 3DS version is something to look forward to, or just another remake that's far behind on updates?

Personally, I would've rather had Minecraft on the 3DS but thanks the Microsoft that'll probably never happen, so Terraria is the next best thing.

 

[Pheenic]

Well its coming for the wii u too so that will probably have more content

but thanks the Microsoft that'll probably never happen

I honestly love that Nintendo fans (well I guess just people in general now that I think about it, not just Nintendo fans) have legitimate reasons to say these kinds of things about Microsoft *cough*Banjo-Kazooie*cough*

Anyway, it doesn't particularly seem like the type of game that would play well on a system like the 3DS. :/

Any Terraria is good Terraria. I own it on every console it's on currently, and I'll most likely get it for 3DS as well.

i think they mentioned nintendo stuff being added.. forgot what else. but it might just be the nintendo costumes etc that are already ingame idk. they update a lot tho always so... i guess it all depends how good the controls are, it works on phones, tablets and other consoles so i guess this will be ok too. can't imagine playing this anywhere but my laptop, too much going on everywhere, but i mean seems to work for lots of people. i'm sure it'll be fine.

also this video and most on youtube is a few months old when they were still figuring out the controls and making it work. it'll look better by release ^^
i'll probably try it out if there's a demo.

To be honest I'm happy playing the PC version of it, but it's nice that the option to play it on 3DS will be there. Might pick it up depending on the price tag, but I'll probably want to know how much is cut from it.

Yeah. It really ticked me off when I first heard that and I stopped playing Minecraft for a month or two. And I'm even more angry how they still haven't released the next TU. Mojang needs to re-prioritize its goals, and soon before they lose more fans.

That's what I'm scared about. Games with irritating controls drive me away, and if this becomes one of them, I'm gonna be severely disappointed. From what it looked like though, it seems to have the ability to customize the controls, so there's always hope.
And they better not turn the Nintendo stuff into DLC... ugh they probably will.

If I could I'd play the PC version too; but my laptop goes glitchy and crashes and is just a pain with any downloaded games (games off disks work so I honestly have no clue) so I'm stuck playing XBOX 360 or 3DS/DS games when it comes to this. I'm really hoping it's not priced crazy high and has very little content in it, because they'll probably do that.

Wait is Terraria a copy of Minecraft
Idek but it looks cool

 

[Stalfos]

I'm glad that more people get the chance to discover Terraria which is tons better than Minecraft imo. I just hope the 3DS is powerful enough to pull it off.

I'm happy with the one I got on my Vita so I don't have any need to get this version.

 

[RainCrossing]

why are they doing this? This is kind of stupid. I play on the iPad, but oh well.

to introduce terraria to a new audience and make connections with nintendo as well. why not anyway, it's almost anywhere else .. some people only have 3ds or wanna have it everywhere

no, you do mining and crafting but its not really the same. it's fun tho.

Another concern of mine is lag. It might be one of the first 3DS games with considerable lag.

imagine minecraft made in 2d with similar pixelly graphics, but everything is completely changed/revamped. Like for example, in terraria you make torches with gel and wood: you get gel from killing slimes and wood from trees (you don't need to make wood into sticks like in minecraft)
Also Terraria is more adventure themed, since there's no 'creative mode' or anything like it like in Minecraft, but you can exchange items between worlds/characters, so it's very hard to explain unless you try it.

im not too worried about the controls tho. it seems similar to the ones on other mobile devices which seem to work fine and i'm sure they are fine-tuning it for the 3ds, so you can play comfortably. you do have lots of buttons to help with controls.
i don't think the nintendo stuff will cost. more like bonus content that is already in the game to make it more attractive for nintendo customers..(like shovel knight has playstation exclusive bosses there etc) the nintendo costumes are already in other versions for a while so they'll be in it for sure ^^and probably some other stuff. they are making lots of updates and fixes all the time anyway. i think i read its not starting at 1.3 too but will update there eventually, but not sure, that might change as well. still a while till it comes out.

so this is coming to the eshop in a few days..

I love Terraria, but I don't understand how people can play on consoles. To me, Terraria is a game I will only ever be able to play on PC. However, it might not be so bad with the touch screen...

 

[RainbowCherry]

I don't think it's a good idea. The PC and consoles are good enough, imo. You really need a big space, especially against the bosses. You know that half of the Twins that shoots lasers? If I didn't have Vamp Knives and was that close to him, I wouldn't be able to dodge anything. This is more personal, but phones are even worse.

In other words, I think the screen will be too small. I'm used to the console versions though, so I don't really know how it would work on a smaller device.

 

[shunishu]

idk, lots of people have no problem playing it on mobile devices and the 3ds might even make controls easier due to buttons, double screen etc..
(it's a bit expensive tho, with 19,99€ for digital, hope they have a discount at release..)

nintendo uploaded the launch trailer for terraria on 3ds without music, like more than 12 hours ago and still havent fixed it :O how fail can you get..
also only 360p.. are they trying to sabotage the launch?

edit: they removed the video and uploaded the proper one now.. took them long enough to fix..

 

[uwuzumakii]

I LOVE Terraria. I got it back in 2013 and I have nearly 2,000 hours logged on my Steam account for it. After seeing what happened with the Xbox, PS4, and so on, it seems to loose more and more stuff, but get replaced by weird things like Lepus and Ocram. I'd be distraught to see it on the 3DS.

 

[shunishu]

did anyone get it already? i saw someone stream it on twitch the other day, it seemed ok. if i get it, i probably wait, till it goes on sale for 4,99 or so tho.. ^^;
