The Great [Nintendo] Thread

This thread is dedicated to Satoru Iwata. He was a great person and will be missed.

Everyone loves Nintendo, right? One of the things I love playing on my 3DS is the Ace Attorney series.

284830-100805_phoenixwright_01.nphd.jpg

They're visual novels where you search for evidence and defend clients in court as a defense attorney.

The most recent game in the series is a prequel known as Dai Gyakuten Saiban, or The Great Ace Attorney.

However, if you like to play things that are currently released outside of Japan, I recommend trying out The Ace Attorney Trilogy, which contains the first three games, and can be found on the Nintendo 3DS eshop.

Or you could try out the fifth game, Ace Attorney Dual Destinies, which I'm told is mostly standalone in terms of plot, and is also found on the 3DS eshop.

The fourth game, Apollo Justice, is currently only on DS. You'll probably have to order it from somewhere.

There are other games too, but those are the main ones.

If you aren't a fan of the series, no worries, post about the Nintendo games you love to play, and make sure to have fun and be respectful.

    Ace Attorney games are fun and I enjoyed them when I played them

    But it's been over half a decade since my last one and I don't know if I could go back to how god damn stupid they are

    I lost a little momentum but I had no problem getting back on their level after a few months
    Five years though, I don't know if I could do

    But as it is I'm fully invested in this shit once more

    I never played AA5 and probably never will

    If Dai Gyakuten gets localized I'll play it, though

    I was going to post a gif of Phoenix cross-examing a parrot, but couldn't find one.

    However, I did learn that apparently that actually made it into the live action movie.

    Did that ever release outside of Japan?

    Been playing a lot of EarthBound Beginnings lately.

    Is good games, everyone. It's probably my favorite NES game I've played - easily my favorite NES RPG

    It feels so full in a way most NES games aren't

    Great care was taken with it's story, world, and tone and there's a surprising amount of music in the game

    Yes yes I agree

    At the very least it'd be cool if there was an option I could toggle so that they'd never ask me again

    I was so annoyed that I got a Fennekin when I beat Y but the dumb girl named it something dumb so I had to breed it with a Ditto to get an untainted one and then I just let the dumb one go

    I started playing Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. This game might have the best animation I've ever seen. Everything's so fluid and expressive.

    Also, the premise is super intriguing. I'm really digging this so far.

    I saw it on Netflix and added it to my list because how could I not, but I haven't had the courage to actually watch it yet.

    Ghost Trick has an absolutely incredible hook for how a sequel might play out and it's a crime it will never be realized

    I definitely name all the pokemon I actually bother to IV breed/EV train.

    Sometimes I forget the actual name of the pokemon as a result

    It explains I shouldn't be an asshole on the internet at 3am after taking a bunch of sleeping pills, sorry

    Pets are cool though and you should get one (though obviously you would already have if you wanted)

    it's not the study of law that makes you a monster, it's studying for the bar exam later that does it.

    Am I the only one who's super pumped for Yokai Watch?

    I had no idea the game even existed until they announced it was being localized at E3 and now I can't stop watching footage on youtube.

    It's like they took the fun of catching monsters in pokemon and gave it a combat system that looks way more fun. And everything about it looks so damn charming.

    The monsters design in Yokai Watch is super terrible. They all look like Mad Magazine parody pokemon.
