    When the eshop shutdown was coming I was angsting over whether I should buy the Dillon's Rolling Western games. Ultimately I decided no. But now I'm at this very same place wondering if I should hack the 3DS and it would mostly be to try those games. (Because really what else is there??)

    They should just port them to Switch already. But somehow I doubt it will ever happen. The game was left to rot as a 3DS eshop exclusive and will fade to obscurity forever. But at the same time, it was apparently good enough that it got two sequels. Make it make sense.

    The games probably suck (it's tower defense.. come on) but in the back of my mind I'll always be wondering "what if."

      Editing … EX troopers is one I didn't know about. Peak anime. Burning Rangers vibes. But it looks potentially meh upon closer look. It's like a hunting game, with a lobby you navigate between missions. It resembles Phantasy Star Portable 2 except you're limited to guns. So I'd actually still prioritize Dillon.

    Considering hacking my New 3DS XL. If I do I'd have hacked three different handhelds (PSP, Vita, 3DS) and that would be impressive! All that would be left after that is the Switch Lite, lol.

    Just one problem though, I don't know where to get 3DS games? And if I don't know that then it kind of defeats the point..

      Editing … You hacked your Switch right? I was trying to find out if there are any tweaks available that fixes the Switch's problems. I lucked out with the Vita- there are plugins for lowering the brightness (PSP also has one for this) and for removing the lock screen, which are exactly what I wanted. I hear there's even a color saturation mod for the slim model. (Although this was Sony's doing, the mod merely unhides it) I'm not confident about the Switch though because my demands seem to be specific to me. (Oh, come to think of it, I should start with more common wants like button remapping for games. If there is no plugin for that, it's safe to say there won't be one for the other things I want.) But another concern is my save file. My Pokemon save is locked to the system so I wouldn't want to do anything to the system that might compromise my ability to export it later.

    I mean, sure, I did say that I would marry my kid assistant. But that was a joke, man. Sheesh. Now I have to live with that guilt. And play it over again to get the good ending.

    What the hell is this 3DS series that's on sale? Parascientific Escape: Cruise in the Distant Seas...? Received an 8/10 from Nintendo Life?
    https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/3ds-eshop/parascientific_escape_cruise_in_the_distant_seas

    So I played Parascientific Escape 1. It's indie as hell and the anime graphics aren't really that impressive. However, the scriptwriters came up with a tense scenario where psychic girls are trapped on a sinking cruise ship...Wait, this is just a ripoff of Zero Escape. Anyways, it feels cool to play as a geeky, telekinetic psychic who can solve sliding block puzzles hidden inside safes or something.

    Pretty impressive for a $2.50 adventure. Yeah, it's only three hours, but I still enjoyed the hell out of that playthrough.

And I could tell that this was some scrappy indie project. However, I couldn't help laughing at one of the character designs. I mean, there's a dumb rabbit mascot person. She represents some mega-corporation secretly involved in...arms dealing or something.

    ...I still haven't sold my system, btw. Ever since I moved to the Switch, I've really missed my 3DS. 2DS. Whatever. It's got a freaking clamshell design, so that automatically makes it the best portable system ever made.
    We also need more Etrian Odyssey games, dammit.
