Why didn't you already have one? The DS had good games, and emulating them is shit compared to playing on a real DS. Why doesn't someone make DS/3DS clones that hook up to your computer so you can play DS or 3DS roms on it? It doesn't even need to have external storage or a built-in emulator, just make it a combined controller and display device for usage by the emulators themselves. No legal hassle, unless the look of the device or dual screens + bottom touchscreen is in itself patented or something.

One thing Nintendo unintentionally I'm sure did to curb piracy is make touchscreen controls. They're awful to emulate with a controller/mouse combo unless you're a mutant with three arms. Too bad they left the front door off the hinges on the actual consoles.

>just make it a combined controller and display device for usage by the emulators themselves. No legal hassle, unless the look of the device or dual screens + bottom touchscreen is in itself patented or something.

Display devices tend to be expensive, generally people looking to emulate are also looking to save money, Do you think you could convince them to buy what will likely be $30-$50 device for it when a flashcart does the same? You'd also need to have a way for the emulator/device to detect the touchscreen accurately and each emulator would have a different entirely retarded way of doing it. I believe several companies have tried to patent a "clamshell" folding device but I don't know if any of them were granted the patent or had to defend it. I doubt it would be an issue if they were produced in China though.

To be fair, it's not like any good games use the touch screen for more than basic menus other than the first Akumajou Dracula on the DS (for the stupid seals to finish boss fights) and the Sekaiju no MeiQ games for drawing maps.

Quite a few games also used it for inventory management. I just dislike having to put down a controller to deal with a menu/inventory/etc with a mouse to the point I don't use my PC for emulating DS games because of it.

I think the 3DS has had far more games with the touchscreen actually integrated into the gameplay in both good and bad ways, obviously rather than tacking on an always visible map/menu/character portrait because

That is still just using a controller with a mouse replacement. Unless you're suggesting the controller be spliced onto the touchscreen in which case that is still $50+~ of hardware.

>>13911295

Try to sign back in to your NNID on your SYSnand. If that doesn't work contact Nintendo. Apparently it is an issue caused from formats or, in this case, how it's detecting it.

Not so much that they're irreplaceable but that there was more thought put into what the second screen should do and how they worked. Taking double the time to do something because of all the clickthrough/context menus, even on the touchscreen, instead of thinking how the touchscreen could have more direct shit on screen was extremely common on the DS.

The later Pokemon games on the DS and 3DS actually did it pretty well, even though the buttons were an alternative using the stylus was just faster than cycling through everything to get where you needed.

The SMT 3DS games did it decently enough literally clicking twice got you to 95% of the shit you needed to get to.

3DS games in general actually started using the second screen as an extension of the main screen/control shortcuts rather than just

The World Ends With You used it for battle, movement, menus, and even a mini game. And it was a really fun game. It also required closing the DS to defeat one of the pig noise. I can't imagine trying to play on an emulator, since you also have to use the dpad to control the top screen during battle.

I'll have to disagree here, fumbling to take out a stylus and put it back destroys any saved time in navigation there.

No, it wasn't, it was a godawful mess that used the D-Pad/top screen battles as an excuse to justify not using real buttons for the combat down below. It could've been decent if you could have controlled the game properly, but the touch screen controls made it utter shit.

I can understand that but I tend to hold the stylus while I play rather than going back and forth. I think they probably should have forgone the stylus entirely and made a touchscreen designed for fingers but that's expensive and less precise.

I faced a similar problem when I had to fix my analog stick.

Find a local, friendly wristwatch repairman. they should have plenty of tools to work with tiny mechanisms.

One here in Hueland opened mine for free, even cleaned all the grease that creeped inside the analog stick. I gave him 10 BR dollars anyways, couldn't find a small enough screwdriver anywhere and he had to operate with delicate shit.

Be wary that the shoulder buttons have some kind of flat, paper thin, plastic wires that if folded will break your L or R button for good.

You seriously have shit taste, man. 3D Land may not have been the best, but the whole NSMB series is garbage compared to every other 2d Mario game.

piracy numbers are tracked in general. If a game is pirated extensively it's still considered interest. interest is considered in the event a game is profitable enough to warrant a sequel, they can guess "conversion to paying customer" numbers off of this as well In the case of censored release (((localizers))) don't care about boycotts, the reeeetards buy enough for them to be profitable without people "taking a firm stance" and a pirated copy is still a cucked copy delivered to US/EU shores. Import the original or just don't play it. That is the only thing that will make anybody take notice.

>wouldn't they also be tracking the uncensor patches being used as well though

(((localizers))) do not care about uncensor patches because they will censor regardless of how many people don't want a censored copy. If they make money they can keep cucking releases for foreign markets. Particularly the moralpirates thinking they're doing the "good" thing buying a (((localized))) copy to uncensor a digital copy do nothing but give them money to cuck more shit and make more uncensor patches required in the future.

If you want to stop censored releases from being released there is one thing you can do. Do not buy them, do not pirate them, don't get a copy from your friend and "uncensor" it really it should be called a restoration patch. Buy an original copy from the original dev/publisher and struggle through it while you learn the language. You could also voice your opinion to the Nip devs but they generally don't care too much about foreign markets although this is changing. A point could be made for buying used if you REALLY can't be bothered but again, that shows interest and continues a cycle.

The "buy it if it's a good release" model also doesn't work. That is how NISA still exists. Every few years they do one game that is, against all odds, actually passable. Using that success they get to cuck more games while people read complete faggots defend them because of their once per decade nonshit release.

Was easy as fuck for me. It had the benefit of being easier than A9LH on my O3DS since I didn't have to risk downgrading again to get that one file or whatever. Back then I bought a N3DS and just installed A9LH on that since I wanted the SNES VC, right stick, and exclusives anyway. Going from rxTools to B9S was just as simple and stress-free as going from stock to A9LH on the N3DS.

As for homebrew not being made, I'd like to make something just to see if I could, but after Hello World I'm just not sure what I would want to make. There's not anything I'd be interested in attempting to port, and I'm not a game dev either. That's probably the mentality for everyone else too. Almost everything people would want to do with it has been done, so now they're all focusing on Switch, Anemone, and TWL. That's my guess.

If you want A9LH, I'm not sure what you can do about that besides try the Wayback Machine. I don't really remember how that worked, myself. Anyway, you can make it so your EmuNAND is your new SysNAND and get rid of the old EmuNAND setup. B9S is just as safe as A9LH, and AGB/TWL games won't have to be installed twice anymore.

If you're using Emunand through menuhax, the guide tells you to uninstall it but doesn't tell you how to actually do it.

There should be a menuhax manager app in your homebrew channel, if not, search for it online. It can fully unninstall it with no problems.

Don't worry, soundhax is better and should work fine if you're using a menuhax compatible sysnand version like 9.2.0

I'm guessing they were referring to the R4 knockoffs. They will stop working exactly one year from manufacture or use, I forget which but supposedly they would still work through TWLoader or some such thing. If it actually was a fake R4 that stopped working from the deathswitch it is entirely possible that they only broke them on 3DS systems. It's equally likely that you may have been mistaken or retarded about the state of it's functioning.

Well I'm not having much luck with used. I only saw one selling around here at a reasonable price on craigslist, but the seller said he sold it a while back. I could try ebay, but I'd prefer looking at the system before buying it. Nearest swap meet just had XLs.

Buying used means some kid probably got peanut butter inside of it anyway. (That happened to a laptop my brother bought. The outside was scratched but otherwise clean, while the inside was covered everywhere in something orange and sticky. It wasn't a leaking battery, but I'm honestly surprised it didn't damage any electrical components.) That's part of the reason I clean anything I buy used.

A few new mechanics in world is unforgivable trash and turn the game into baby mode but the rest of the game is pretty decent.

Hacking any version of the 3DS at 11.3 or below is probably the "easiest" for most people solely because it doesn't require a flashcart but any FW of 3DS 11.6 is current can be hacked using certain flashcarts+NTRBoot.

If you're doing a new install there isn't much of a point to use AL9H over B9S. B9S is what is currently supported and updated for the foreseeable future setup of either one takes around the same amount of time, same difficulty. I understand not updating an already AL9Hed 3DS because currently there isn't much of a benefit but if you're doing it on a new 3DS anyway there isn't any reason to use an older method.

Four shoulder buttons in general make it more likely the buttons come off during travel since it is a handheld. The clamshell design is protecting the screens/buttons from extra wear. That is also why shoulder buttons tend to need to be replaced earlier vs other parts.

As for your question though, I haven't tried and probably won't try, but DLC works flawlessly in the second one, although I got that one as .cia, since it was before freeshop.

That's not exactly what I meant. You can download DLC in .cia format, just look around 3DSISO or something to see if you can find it.

My guess is that since the whole freeshop thing happened after the release of the second game, no one bothered on checking or fixing the first one.

Could I just say that is a little bit sad both from an archival and a "loyalty" stand-point? First, for the archivists and researchers, how do people expect to learn where games come from and where they went if people only bother to remember the "better" version rather than the original with all of it's bugs and problems? Second, from a loyalty stand-point, what's the point of buying a game to support a company if they will release the exact same game a few years later with just a new title, "extra" content, and then only support that version while leaving the buyers of the original in the dust (Since, as you pointed out, it's just the same exact game with more content). I can understand it back before the internet was an easily accessible resource for everyone (Such as with Capcom and SNK's numerous rereleases of fighting games), and/or if the "updated" game offered a different experience than the original, but this is inexcusable in today's world. All they need to do is just send out a patch that changes a few lines of code, offer the new content in the "deluxe version" as DLC for buyers of the original, and everyone is happy. Or, did I just outline one of the base problems with gaming today?

So the 3ds has been kicking around for just a year less then the ds was when it was replaced by the 3ds and what does it have to show for it? A pile of remakes and a tiny library.

I mean I really do feel that the DS has a much bigger and better library then the 3ds.

For example we got 3 castilvania games for the ds but only one really shit game for the 3ds.

What the hell happened? Did nobody want to work with the two screen format anymore or did they just really hate 3d?

the takeaway here is just buy a flash cart and call it a day

Look at what the companies were doing from from '04-'10, and then look at what companies are doing ever since 2011. It has less to do with the state of the machine and more to do with what companies are doing. Remember that the GC is considered a "failure" buy all accounts, yet it still has a massive amount of third-party titles (Even from big name companies). Then look at something like the Wii U, where the only people who are even within earshot of releasing their games for it (Beyond the first year) were where Indies and a few AA publishers.

It's a common thing to do. The only reason you consider this one bad is presumably it is a mostly single player experience so you don't gain anything other than slightly more of the same game. If it was multiplayer and a yearly release would you see it equally as bad? If yes do you play Monster Hunter or anything similar?

>Look at what the companies were doing from from '04-'10, and then look at what companies are doing ever since 2011

There is a very strange cycle where companies will be financially secure because they previously released something amazing but don't know where to go and release the same three games over and over for nearly a decade before people realize it's the same game. At that point the company flounders or starts throwing random shit at the wall to see what sticks.

The entire sixth gen console line.seems like that.

>Atari and 3DO failing completely.

>Sega releasing a technically impressive console with internet connectivity before that was mandatory shit.

>PS2 with it's scattershot peripherals and starting several series that became franchises until they were milked to death

>Microsoft's attempt at the Xbox which was probably the easiest to mod because it was literally a protoSteam Machine (on accident)

>Nintendo with the Gamecube, at launch a very technically powerful console only being weaker than the Xbox, while also releasing several gameboy linking peripherals that were linking their console lines (Gameboy Player, Link cable, etc)

To an extent they all got decent 3rd support and released a healthy number of non-mainstream titles.

Then their successors came out riding the wave of their popularity and we got shit like the Wii, the PS3, the Xbox 360, and Sega dying entirely.

They, for the most part, started focusing entirely on franchises and "cinematic experiences" and stopped releasing weird shit that ended up being good.

You had the console equivalents of the Greatest Generation. Somebody had to be considered the loser and the PS2 outsold everybody else by a massive margin so a lot of people like to ignore the rest.

I think what caused the Gamecube to be considered a "failure" for most people was the lack of online games coming out for it when online multiplayer was the new cool shit to do.

I also believe that this was when Nintendo's family friendly image began working against them. The people who's first console was an N64 were starting to get interested in, for lack of a better term, edgy games that Nintendo wasn't delivering Worldwide.

Can't talk about other games that do this, but in the case of Theatrhythm it was Square's first try at rhythm games. The first game is fundamentally flawed and no amount of DLC could have save it, since the approach was completely safe, with no vision of the future, baby steps, they didn't want to invest a lot on it in the first place. The second one is overall more polished because they learned from the mobile port of the first game, jew tactics and everything than the first one ever was, with new modes, new content, more songs, among other things.

Sure, fuck the people who bought the first one, including myself, but that's just an small price to pay when you actually release better game, and then they even released Theatrhythm Dragon Quest. Buying the first game at the time made you a guinea pig for the following games, doesn't justify how shitty the first game was, but thanks to that the rest of the games are pretty good, specially since you can get them for free now.

Also, there's so much you can do with DLC if you don't plan it ahead. The new modes that exist in the second one couldn't possibly be implemented through DLC, DLC in that game is ONLY for songs in the first place.

>>14008300

The DS has a much bigger, much varied library because it was cheap to develop on it, and the touch screen and double screen concept was new at the time, so a lot of third party developers tried their hand on it, and you got pretty fantastic games like Ghost Tricks and TWEWY. The 3DS didn't bring anything new you could do with the 3D, it was harder to develop on it and most devs already tried what they could with the DS.

That doesn't mean the 3DS library is small by any means, though, there are plenty of good games, but not as diverse as the DS, since most of the good games are developed by nintendo, there are no third party devs that want to develop for it even now.

>For example we got 3 castilvania games for the ds but only one really shit game for the 3ds

For me, nintendo consoles usually make it harder for other developers to do games on their consoles most of the times with the weird gimmicks they have. It's not like I don't like the gimmicks, a good developer can easily make a really good game with those, but the problem is, nobody tries because it's either too complicated or requires extra hardware for the dev.

>They, for the most part, started focusing entirely on franchises and "cinematic experiences" and stopped releasing weird shit that ended up being good.

Also, this, the "experimental" era is sadly over, no more wacky DS or Wii title, just pandering to cinematic experience faggots with ultra realistic graphics that always looks and plays the same.

>If it was multiplayer and a yearly release would you see it equally as bad?

Yearly release of the exact same game, yes. Yearly releases in the franchise where it's a different game each year, no (At the very least, each CoD game does something different every year despite how similar they may be, even with just the story).

>If yes do you play Monster Hunter or anything similar?

I've only played MH3U. The only other "similar" game I've played to that is Freedom Wars and PSO

>>14008550

>The new modes that exist in the second one couldn't possibly be implemented through DLC

Given the way the game was presented, I thought Curtain Call was just the same game with more songs and characters. If they changed things up and added different modes, then I don't have much of a problem with it (Though I do wish they didn't include all of the songs from the first one, so that there is an incentive for people to own both titles).

>It's not like I don't like the gimmicks, a good developer can easily make a really good game with those, but the problem is, nobody tries because it's either too complicated or requires extra hardware for the dev.

As Nintendo stated themselves, they develop their systems the way they do because they find it to be the most advantageous for themselves. However, this also causes an alienation of third-parties because they're going to go for the system which will bring them the easiest amount of money with the littlest amount of effort, not which systems is the best "thought out" (Which you cannot really criticize them for). Unless Nintendo can get the normalfags to buy third-party games on their systems, third-parties will prioritize making and releasing their games for competitors.

>Also, this, the "experimental" era is sadly over, no more wacky DS or Wii title, just pandering to cinematic experience faggots with ultra realistic graphics that always looks and plays the same.

Could I just say that we're in a time where games are the easier to develop than ever before, with tools and resources that make porting games to platforms a cakewalk? I'm willing to bet you can easily find a lot of experimental games coming out, but you also have to look to find them (Even on platforms you may not care for). Back in the 5th and 6th gen, it was mainly an "experimental" era because developers were finally able to make games actually operate like they envisioned, gaming was still in a niche, and companies basically marketed anything and everything that come out of the warehouse. In the past decade, however, you have most company and games trying to make money by either "going all out" and spending no expense with each release determining whether or not they stay in the black, or putting the littlest amount of effort in as possible and appeal to the LCD. Despite from the publicity you may see, gaming is still very much in an "experimental" phase. However, because everyone is now able to make games, stakes are now higher because of the fact that companies and developers are now competing with almost everyone in the world, not just other publishers.

>Nintendo consoles usually make it harder for other developers to do games on their consoles most of the times with the weird gimmicks they have

I think the gimmicks are only an issue because they don't seem to be well thought out/implemented.

The N64 controller was shaped like the engineer had three hands but now every controller in existence has both a d-pad and at least one analog stick.

The Gamecube was just trying too hard to work the Link cable into it's games, particularly some of it's multiplayer games seeing as the damn thing already had four controller ports there was zero reason to require four $100 handhelds and four $20 Link cables.

The Wii was way too much into motion controls before they were even good motion controls. Then they released an adapter to make it suck less a couple of years into the Wii's life. Even before then too many games tried to utilize them in the worst ways possible.

The DS was a bit floppy at the start because they didn't give any sort of information on it until months before it was released. That's why later DS titles do far better using the second screen.

The WiiU had the exact same problem as the Wii but with a second screen/tablet and nobody even bothered with it because, unlike the handheld market, Nintendo has real competition in the home console market.

And now the Switch.

The Switch is not a handheld. It is marketed like a handheld in the US. This will hurt it in the long run. The Gimmick is that it is both a home console and a handheld. That's a shitty gimmick. It's an underpowered tablet.

>>14008673

>Yearly release of the exact same game, yes. Yearly releases in the franchise where it's a different game each year, no (At the very least, each CoD game does something different every year despite how similar they may be, even with just the story).

Do you feel the same way about complete editions of games/GotY releases? It seems sort of like that to me.

>they develop their systems the way they do because they find it to be the most advantageous for themselves

That seems like a walled garden approach which, while it technically works, because

<come to Nintendo for a unique hardware experience with our unique first party releases

also works against them because they miss out on a lot of 3rd party releases. Also, Nintendo gimmicks aren't really the most advantageous for themselves other than they can claim they aren't competing with the PS4/Xbone because the hardware is so "different".

It's a conscious effort to allow them to not have to compete with raw power which, again, works because the bulk of their sales are 1st party releases anyway. Nobody buys a Nintendo console for the 3rd party stuff.

>Could I just say that we're in a time where games are the easier to develop than ever before

easy to develop doesn't necessarily mean good or experimental. The issue currently isn't really resources or porting difficulty. It's that a lot of game devs/publishers are not willing to take the chances they used to.

>In the past decade, however, you have most company and games trying to make money by either "going all out" and spending no expense with each release determining whether or not they stay in the black, or putting the littlest amount of effort in as possible and appeal to the LCD.

Too much "expense" is in marketing the game rather than making the game or spending too much money on graphics and not enough making a fun game. CoD/Madden/Etc is an entirely different beast. They sell the same general amount of games per year or more because their core fanbase is going for the multiplayer which is always most active on the newest game. They can afford to spend millions making and advertising those games because they know how many copies will sell.

Imagine a more niche title like The Legend of Heroes trying to spend millions on advertising. It wouldn't work because they don't ship 20 million copies in a month.

I feel like the advertising hypetrain that has to accompany most titles now is what kills experimental games more than too many games in general.

How do you hype up a turnbased RPG nobody has played? What about a Warioware like game?

>stakes are now higher because of the fact that companies and developers are now competing with almost everyone in the world, not just other publishers.

But they don't compete with good games. They compete with hype and

<INTRODUCING THE NEXT GAME IN THE BIYEARLY FRANCHISE

You don't need to spend millions of dollars to release an experiment with a new genre or create a new IP. That is how you kill your company.

<“Not just limited to games for smartphone or console, but we do have some global titles lined up,” Matsuda replied. “However, regardless of whether they’re for smartphone or console, there’s a difficult element to developing global titles, so we’ll be making them without focusing too much on the ‘global’ aspect.”

<“For example, in the past, when we developed console games with a worldwide premise, we lost our focus, and not only did they end up being games that weren’t for the Japanese, but they ended up being incomplete titles that weren’t even fit for a global audience.”

<Matsuda continues, “On the other hand, there are games like the JRPG we made for the Japanese audience with the proper elements, Bravely Default, which ended up selling well all around the world.”

<“Due to having split [the development mindset] according to regions around the world, we weren’t able to see this clearly up until now, but fans of JRPGs are really spread around the world,” emphasizes Matsuda. “Through the means of various networks, the latest information that is announced in Japan is instantaneously being spread across fans throughout the world. Whether it’s North America, Europe, or South America. There really isn’t much of a gap [in the relay of information].”

<“With that in mind, and all of the collective fans, there’s a sense of mass, which loses the image of a niche market,” continues Matsuda. “For the new games we’ll be developing from this point on, while this may sound a bit extreme, we’ve been talking about making them as heavy JRPGs. I believe that way, we can better focus on our target, which will also bring better results.”

<“If you focus too much on the global aspect, you might lose sight of who you’re actually making the game for,” explains Matsuda. “For example, if you look back at 2013, we’ve had some home console games made for a global audience that struggled.”

<“The development team for Hitman: Absolution really struggled in this regard. They implemented a vast amount of ‘elements for the mass’ instead of for the core fans, as a way to try getting as many new players possible. It was a strategy to gain mass appeal. However, what makes the Hitman series good is its appeal to core gamers, and many fans felt the lack of focus in that regard, which ended up making it struggle in sales.”

<“So, as for the AAA titles we’re currently developing for series, we basically want to go back to their roots and focus on the core audience, while working hard on content that can have fans say things like ‘this is the Hitman, we know’. I believe that is the best way for our development studios to display their strengths.”

The Wii's EoL can be considered 2012, they're planning to shut down the Wii shop channel for both the Wii and the WiiU on Jan 31 2019,

While that is a "respectable" amount of uptime for the Wii for normies the WiiU was only launched in 2012 which is a significantly shorter period of time of support.

There will then be hundreds of titles that are no longer available to legally obtain from Nintendo.

13 years of availability for titles you've purchased going by the Wii since that was technically the Wii's eShop is pretty pathetic in comparison to other means of distribution, including other digital methods.

Assuming the Shop channel's longevity that would mean the 3DS eShop would be taken offline in 2024. Not actually that far away.

This is why FreeShop should not be considered an "archive" for anything.

I was seriously considering picking up a 3ds for very cheap. I wanted to original get a DS to play emulators/old nintindo games on. So I can't decide to go DS+flashcart or 3ds without 11.4 firmware. Is there any homebrew that makes it worth it? Are there any 3ds exclusive games that make it worth getting over a ds? Can you dump 3ds and ds games via the 3ds? I saw somewhere there is linux on the 3ds so that makes it somewhat worth it for a mobile terminal for me.

I was playing Mario Kart and the damn thing throw me an error for some reason. Don't remember the error, but what the fuck? First time this have happened since I have CFW. I recently switched for A9LH to B9S so maybe it's that.

You can always get a 3DS with a flashcart. The DS is way more simple to handle.

3dsiso is just a 3ds game piracy site. It has outdated dumps and some of them are decrypted to run on citra.

If you have a 3ds yourself you can decrypt them yourself.

Hey fellas, I've been having a bit of an issue.

A month or so ago, I followed the guide and everything seemed to go off perfectly. I have a n3ds, used soundhax, installed HBlauncher, followed the instructions for luma 3ds and B9s. I installed a couple of games and everything seemed to be working fine.

The other day I tried to install Pokemon Ultra Moon and got a weird error when I tried to run it. I tried re-installing the cia, but the error persisted. After further investigation I've found that I get the same error on every game that uses Extended Ram (Smash Bros, MH, Zelda MM, Pokemon) (pic related was trying to run majoras mask). It seems that it was just coincidence that I didn't notice this when I first hacked my 3ds. I've mostly been playing GBA games, Ever Oasis, and New Super Mario Bros 2, so I never noticed.

I've looked online for answers, but all the suggested solutions I can find are

>it works for me :)

Just wondering if anyone has run into the same issue or knows an easy solution.

I've updated to the latest version of Luma using the luma updater I installed, but hasn't fixed the issue.

My internet isn't all that fast, especially over wifi. It'd take me days to download the game that way.

I use a program called villain3ds on my PC to do the downloading. It also downloads the games from the official servers. I just move the cia to my SD card and install it with FBI.

I'll give it a go, but my gut tells me that it isn't the problem.

You were right anon!

I spent the day downloading majoras mask (since it's only 600mb compared to pokemon's 3gb) and it works perfectly.

You're a lifesaver anon. I'm sorry I doubted you. Merry Christmas you fuck.

What? I've got no more experience with homebrew than the 3ds guide. Is there a better way to install games? It's worked find for me on all of my games bar Majoras Mask and Pokemon.

My wifi is shit, so downloading through freeshop or ciaangel isn't really convenient for large games.

Going on a vacation to a hot third world country to escape winter for a few months.

>>14039994

get some homebrew emulators and ROMs on that shit if its capable of it

SMT IV is long and lengthy

Persona Q is bretty gud

All Etrian Odyssey games are solid

Bravely Default as well (though its big)

Xenoblade should give you a ton of hours though I dunno if can be played on the 2DS (probably not)

Any monster hunter game should give you a ton of hours

Ever Oasis looks decent

Dragon Quest games are good

Fre Emblem Echoes is good

Project X Zone 2 might be okay for you, its a love it or hate it thing

If you have internet, Kid Icarus Uprising is bretty good and will last you a while. Its campaign has an okay length too.

Also 3G's US version added 50 defense you can't remove, making the game ridiculously easier than it should ever be, and while no one's dived into the code, it is commonly believed that the US versions for the other games have had the difficulty toned down as well.
