Probably gonna jump on the other ace attorney games minus the trilogy unless people think they will be ported to switch. Tempted by revelations at 2$ as well...

 

[Lotus]

Putting the super cheap price aside, how good are these Ace Attorney games (the trilogy aside, I bought that already for the Switch)

Dual Destinies have some good cases, along with a pretty boring second one. Spirit of Justice is probably my favorite ace attorney personally.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

I might pick up Apollo Justice just to have it. It was not my favorite when I first played it but at that price I might as well have it for posterity.

 

[rude]

spirit of justice is a steal at that price. I think it's the best AA game aside from GAA.

Apollo Justice is generally solid, Duel Destinies is the weakest but still some great highs and Spirit of Justice is my favourite in the series.

 

[Diarrhea Day-Lewis]

Literally said damn at like all those prices. Gonna get all the AA games for sure, maybe MH3 and 4 for old times sake

Do we know if post eshop closure if the transfer function between systems will remain?

Spirit of Justice and Dual Destinies are really good in my opinion. Apollo Justice was kind of a snooze-fest. At least its overlong final case was, which is most of what I remember.

 

[Qwark]

Which of these AA games are only available on 3DS (not counting mobile ports)?

I need to buy a 3ds soon. I have no interest in 2ds so I'm going to hunt one down and not get ripped off.

 

[Xterrian]

$5 for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is a got damn steal. Easily one of the best mh games. No clue how active the online is, but even just doing the village stuff you'll get dozens of hours worth of content.

As a note, Dual Destinies also has dlc that will dissapear when the eshop goes down, where you defend a whale from murder.

 

[Liam Allen-Miller]

I know everyone viscerally hated the whole "you can't delete your save data" thing and the original $40 price tag for The Mercenaries 3D, but if you're even remotely a fan of RE4/5/6-style Mercenaries I really think you should give it a go at this price. It's by far my most played 3DS game and it's a truly excellent portable version of RE5 Mercenaries with new content and features (also includes two RE4 maps). It has a little non-narrative campaign mode to help you through some levels with easier difficulty before tossing you into the full fat experience, with nine unique maps overall and eight characters (each with an unlockable second costume/equipment loadout) making it also the most content-rich Mercenaries experience. Just a joy of a game.

Already own all of them. Capcom was really on a roll on the 3DS - get these games for that price.

 

[DaleCooper]

Slightly off topic, but will there be something similar for EU perhaps?

I'll add that in a sec. Spirit of Justice mentions it has DLC on its banner, but Dual Destinies doesn't for whatever reason.

 

[Lowblood]

Bleh, those prices are even lower than the prior sale in December. Could've saved another $5 or so. I've been playing all the Atlus stuff.

Any reason to get both MH4 and Generations? Or is the latter an improved version of the former?

Will have to see if the AA DLC is also on sale, doesn't seem like you can check from the web pages.

Apollo Justice gets a pretty mixed reaction, with case 3 (of 4) generally thought of as one of the worst cases in the entire franchise. I do like the game overall, but it's hard to deny that case 3's reputation is unearned. People definitely have thoughts about how Phoenix is characterized in this game. Apollo and his assistant have a very different dynamic than Phoenix and Maya.

Dual Destinies is kind of a soft reboot to try to bring things closer to the original trilogy. Phoenix is more like his old self, but Apollo kind of gets the short end of the stick (YMMV depending on how you feel about Apollo). Because of the localization practices, the game's prosecutor does come off as a major weeb (YMMV if that's amusing or not). Case 2 also suffers quite a bit because of the localization practices of these games.

Spirit of Justice definitely goes in on nostalgia for fans of the original trilogy, but it also has some very strong cases. Case 2, Case 3, and especially Case 5 are all cases I think very highly of. I do think this game's prosecutor is the weakest in the series. The DLC case tries to cash in on nostalgia for the original trilogy.

 

[No Depth]

How far must one play into the AA games before access to DLC purchase is avail?

Also for FE games?

 

[Faiyaz]

If you don't steal one of the top 3 Ace Attorney games (Spirit of Justice) for that price, what is even the point?

I'm wondering the same, psprices says ace attorney games haven't gone on sale on the 3ds for a while though

Interesting. Oh, and this is a case where like, it doesn't matter if you skip an entry (like if I only cared about Spirit of Justice), or is it a pretty clear trilogy?

I mean I guess for the super cheap price, if I were to buy one of them, I may as well get all, but I'm just curious.

It does not matter, except in the sense that you will miss the introduction of appollo, and his gimmick, athena and her gimmick, the 5th game prosecutor, and the setup to appollo missing parents. The rest is specific to the game.

Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice are definitely connected. Apollo Justice is kind of weird in that it's definitely a major game, and introduces some major characters (such as Apollo himself), but a lot of it feels disconnected from the other games in a way that's kind of hard to explain without getting into spoiler territory. The simplest explanation as to why is the people who made Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice were not the same people who made Apollo Justice.

 

[DevilPuncher]

Dual Destinies was a pretty mid AA game, but the DLC case was excellent. I'd highly encourage you all to pick that one up if you can.

You can buy the dlc at the start screen.
For the fire emblems, you need to access the outrealm gate, so the 5th chapter for the 3 of them, (when you get the world map) i think.

I want to buy these but I rather wait for switch port.

They are pretty different games at the end of the day, despite playing 95% similarly. MH4U still has the best sense of story progression of any game in the series and absolutely stellar production values (it is legitimately what would happen if you designed MHW around 3DS hardware) to go with some very, very meaty content. Gen is more of a franchise celebration game with how much they wind up reusing monsters and maps from the entirety of the series, but with all the fourth gen gameplay improvements in tact along with its own unique gimmick with the Hunter Styles, as well as letting you play as your own Palico in Prowler mode. That said, Gen isn't essential as GU on Switch has all of that content and so, so much more, so unless you have a burning need to start your save on Gen and use the save transfer tool to continue on with GU, it's not nearly as essential to get as MH4U would be with the looming closure and the close-to-zero chance of it getting ported elsewhere.

 

[prateeko]

I assume most of these are new record low prices? It's the inability to get DLC/updates after 3DS eShop closure that really is outrageous

 

[Mullet2000]

Mercenaries 3D is actually a very fun game to pick up and play. Highly recommend.

 

[KingDrool]

How's Revelations? 2 bucks good?

 

[ghibli99]

Tempted to pick up the rest of the PW games I don't have, but I did so much damage w/ the Sega/Atlus sale earlier this year... and I've started none of those. LOL

 

[RochHoch]

Don't sleep on Ace Attorney Spirit of Justice. Easily among the best in the series

Oh right, totally forgot Generations was on Switch as well. Would be easier to play it there.

That and 4U's story focus makes it the one I'll grab. I'm sort of delayed on my MH these days (played a LOT of Tri and 3U) so I don't mind taking my time with an older title.

How's Revelations? 2 bucks good?

Click to shrink...

As REs go it's middle of the pack. Decent, and generally worth playing. For $2 and being the only traditional RE on the 3DS makes it an easy grab - I'd only hold off if you'd rather play it elsewhere, as Rev is on everything and plays much better on consoles.

 

[Ganepark32]

Slightly off topic, but will there be something similar for EU perhaps?

Click to shrink...

Nintendo of Europe seems to have all but checked out with regards to the 3DS, especially on the sales front, so I wouldn't hold out hope of them putting these up on the EU store. Sucks as I remember a lot of the JRPGs like the SMT games, Radiant Historia, etc. went on sale before Christmas in NA but didn't over here in the UK/EU.

I'm holding out hope that NoE will pull the finger our eventually and put some decent stuff on sale prior to debit/credit card payments being stopped in 2 months time.

I'll jump on Mercs for $2

Just tried it myself. Dual Destinies automatically starts a new game that requires you to watch the intro up to the point that it gives you control after a few minutes, but then you can save and back out to the title menu to grab the DLC. It's $5.99 for the one DLC episode.

Spirit of Justice forces you to start a new game from the main menu and similarly watch a quick couple minute intro until you get control, save, and back out to the main menu to grab the DLC. There's a $5.99 DLC episode and two $3.99 "What If?" mini episodes.

Spirit of Justice is genuinely awesome and one of the best AA's since the original trilogy, that one's well worth it. Dual Destinies is pretty average and feels particularly held back by not being able to decide if it wants to be a Phoenix, Apollo, or Athena game, but even the mid-tier Ace Attorney games are worth playing, and for its time it definitely had the best presentation of the bunch. Despite a distinctly average batch of cases, the DLC case is a gem.

If I was you, I would definitely play Apollo Justice before SoJ if you can. SoJ might have Phoenix Wright in the name but it is essentially Apollo Justice 2.

Also, AJ and SoJ are great. DD is shit and I kinda regret playing it. Even more after I did it a second time.
