What is your Favorite 3ds Game?

[mynooka]

My favorite so far is close but it's between Mario Kart 7 and ACNL.

Behind that are Fantasy Life and Pokemon Y. Distant third would be Super Mario 3D Land.

I still have 3 incredible (or so I've heard) games I own but haven't played yet.
Ocarina of Time 3D
Wind Waker 3D
and Fire Emblem: Awakening

...so I expect my rankings to change when I get around to those lol

 

[Cress]

Wind Waker 3D

You mean HD?

 

[Sherra]

Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Super Smash Bros. 3D, Pokemon Y, and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire.

Monster Hunter 4 and Majora's Mask I'm not even going to consider. They're way too new and I still have 'new game' hype that will obviously skew my opinion, so I don't feel either deserve to be stated as a favorite yet. Majora's Mask is also one of the 2 Zelda games I've never played at all, so, yea, I can't say it's my favorite based on the original either.

Umm "Monster Hunter 4" has been out for a year and a half now, I hardly consider that "new"...

 

[AuroraHarford]

my favourite games are Pokemon Omega Ruby and Super Mario Bros! at the minute im addicted to pokemon, im working really ahrd to fill my Hoenn Dex!
but when i just want to chill and play a game, i put mario in and i love it!
My boyfriend bought me Professor Layton as well for christmas so i sometimes just relax and play that, its awesome!!

 

[Hyoshido]

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is slowly becoming my favorite now, Otherwise Smash brothers and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire are other great mentions!!!

I haven't played AC properly for like, months.

Yeah, but unless you have a Japanese 3DS, good luck playing that version. I'm sure anyone would know they mean MH4U. If you wanna be nitpicky about things, you should also point out they referred to Monster Hunter Tri as Monster Hunter 3. :^)


For me I'd have to say Kirby: Triple Deluxe and ACNL, though I haven't played either in a while.
And Tales of the Abyss.

I'm not nitpicky, MH4 and MH4U are two completely different games.

MH3 and MH tri are basically the same thing, just people call them by different titles. And on the same topic, I can understand people calling Majora's Mask 3DS just Majora's Mask, without the 3DS suffix, because there is a game called Majora's Mask on the 3DS, and there is a game called MH3/MH tri, it's just how you prefer to pronounce it. The problem with calling MH4U "MhH4" is, unlike how MM3DS/MM and Mh3/MH tri are the same game, no matter what you call then, there's no two different games for both titles - unlike with Monster Hunter 4, and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, there is a game on the 3DS called Monster Hunter 4, and there is one called Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. If there was no game called Monster Hunter 4, then yes, valid point, but the problem is that there is a game called Monster Hunter 4, so referring to Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate as Monster Hunter 4 is referring to a totally different game.

MH4 is a game that only got released in Japan. MH4U is the game that got released in the west, and a localized version of the Japanese "sequel" to MH4, called Monster Hunter 4G. There is no game called "Monster Hunter 4" released in the west without a Japanese import - it's an entirely different game to Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Monster Hunter 4 has less monsters, less areas, no G rank (which is a huge part of the game), no Dondruma Town, no 4th gen monster subspecies, heck even some of the weapon controls are completely different in MH4 than they are in MH4U/G. It's got similar features to MH4U, but they're not the same.

Calling MH4U "MH4" is like calling Pokemon Emerald "Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire", or X and Y "Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire" - they're completely different games, just because they're similar doesn't mean they're the same or that I shouldn't "nitpick" because they are referring to a completely different game in the series.

Wow, did I trigger you or something? I was half-joking with what I said.

My point was basically: when they say "Monster Hunter 4", you know they're talking about MH4U since that's the only version of the game released in the west.

To explain with a changed version of your given example: the western versions of Pokemon Red and Blue are radically different from the Japanese counterparts (R/B, not R/G). Your reaction above is like jumping into a conversation about the Gen 1 games, telling people to clarify whether they mean the original Japanese Red and Blue or the localized versions.

And by your standards of having to differentiate between MH4 and MH4U, it's surprising you don't feel the same way about MM and MM3D (the "3D" being an official part of the title). There's a long list of changes in quests, some items function differently from the N64 version, the Clock Town layout has been changed, the Song of Double Time's functionality is entirely different, there's now a fishing mini-game, you need magic in order to swim fast... You see my point.

 

[spCrossing]

Majora's Mask 3D and Smash 4 3DS.

 

[LaurenPuzzle]

Animal crossing new leaf and Pokemon omega ruby!

 

[Klinkguin]

I can't list all my Pokemon games so I'll just say Pokemon in general. I'm also really getting into Fantasy Life, it's such a relaxing game to play and it's so much like Dragon Quest 9 it's untrue. I always used to play ACNL. After about 700 hours of it I got bored and I haven't played it once this year xD

 

[Keitara]

varies from time to time, but probably... urgh hard to say! Maybe Fire Emblem: Awakening or ACNL

 

[jdc1569]

Pokemon X!

If you read my post you'd see why I explained I'm not bothered by it being called "MM3DS", this thread is about your favorite 3DS game, there is only one game called MM on the 3ds, so obviously I know they're talking about the 3DS version of the game because this is a 3DS thread, and there isn't another game called "MM" on the 3DS - it's on the N64...
Unlike MH4U and MH4, both this games are on the 3DS, and both are totally different games.

And only one MH4 was released in the west.

Glad we worked that out.

It doesn't matter whether or not only one was released in the west, there's still two different games called MH4 and MH4U/G on the 3DS.
The thread is for your "favorite 3DS game" not your "favorite English 3DS game". Someone could very well have a Japanese 3DS, and only own MH4, not MH4G, or the English equivalent, thus MH4 may very well be their favorite 3DS game - which is a fair point, because in MH4, the insect glaive is a lot more powerful than it is in MH4G/U, and the lack of G-rank in 4 makes guild quests a lot more playable, because they're essentially G-rank equivalent weapons in a non G-rank game, where as in 4G/U guild quest weapons are basically useless because they're easily overshadowed by G-rank weapons. We don't know if the person has a Japanese 3DS or not, so calling MH4U "MH4" is still calling it a completely different game, whether or not you want to argue "only one got released in the west", because no one knows what region 3DS someone has, and this thread isn't exclusive to English only games. Tao clearly said they liked "Monster Hunter 4" but couldn't judge it because it hadn't been out for that long, which is wrong, because MH4 has been out for ~a year and a half. For all I know, they could own a Japanese 3DS (but I know they don't, which is why I questioned it, because they were referring to a totally different game).

If MH4 was the Japanese equivalent to MH4U then it'd be fine to make that comparison, but it isn't, and there are many different features between the two games, so they're different, and not the same game.
