Oh yes thank you for the age clarification. Those extra years are how she pulled off the impossible lmao.

[mikey]

^the fact that she's 20 OBVIOUSLY means she can chop through bone with a single swing of an axe.

[Maelstrom]

It was really sharp, ok?

Hey hey, the PMD games are on the eshop now! If you haven't played them yet, go do it.

[mikey]

oh which ones

[Nebbles]

Red/Blue Rescue Team, and Explorers of Sky.

[mikey]

oh how much better is sky than time/darkness
like if time/darkness was a 5, and my threshold (zelda games) are 8, and PSMD was a 9, how much is sky

Sky isn't on VC in Europe, but the Rescue Teams have been on there for months. And they be a better fit for 3DS...

They aren't quite available yet, but they will be at 11 AM CST this Thursday.

I think I know what I'll be streaming this weekend

[SlowPokemon]

Nice! Of course, since I have two of them in working condition, the only one I'll be thinking about getting is RRT eventually. GBA games look so nice on Wii U.

I'm really biased to Sky, as it's my favorite, but Sky did add in a nice amount of content from Time/Darkness. There's a whole Shaymin storyline, added stories, dungeons, etc. So you get a good amount of new stuff to do.

sky is better than time/darkness hands down. i personally like it better than PSMD too but that is a personal preference and may be nostalgia talking

also god i wish i had a wii u

I was wondering this same thing myself. Thanks guys.

I'm wondering if it's worth it to get one? As in, what is the purpose of a 2DS?

It makes a great doorstop.

In its defense, I have a 2DS and if anyone was gonna be skeptical about it at its release, it was me. I would go one step further than what Slow said:

If your reason for not having a 3DS is because they're too expensive, the 2DS is for you.

I would say that if the 3D feature is omittable for you, the 2DS is for you. The system is solid (more indestructible as Noc said though not invincible obviously), resolution is often better, it's cheaper, and it may seem like a small thing, but it just fits in your hands so well. I love the triggers especially. 3DS triggers feel so delicate.

Explorers of Sky has a good 15-20 extra hours at least compared to Time and Darkness and it is (in my opinion) probably the best PMD game. The problem is, you've got to get through all of the stuff that's the same as TD before you can really experience the new.
