Charmeleonbrah Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I'm considering getting the 3ds version of FEW because at the moment I do not own a Switch. I'm on the fence about buying a Switch because I'm not too excited for Odyssey and I've beaten BotW on Wii U. There doesnt seem to be much YouTube footage or reviews for the portable version. Anyone play it yet? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaofRenais Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I would say go for the 3DS version since you don't have a switch. I had to buy a new system to be able to play FE W so I went with the Switch, but since you have a New 3DS and don't want any games for Switch other then FE W you might as well save the money for when you do want to buy a Switch.

Ronnie Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 The new 3ds/2ds is worth purchasing for the hardware upgrades alone. Faster load times for games and faster download times are much more convenient. If you play Smash Bros, the added buttons make the game more comfortable to play with the shoulder buttons and nub for smash attacks. The nub really helps with controlling the camera (for games that support that.) I'm waiting to get a Switch to play FE Warriors so I can't comment on the 3DS port. I imagine it'll be like Hyrule Warriors with less on-screen enemies and the obvious neutered graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wissenschaft Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I have the N3DS version. While there are technically less enemies on screen, there are still screen fulls of enemies. The graphics are quite a bit reduced but the game runs really smoothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antilanth Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Absolutely. The only times I've seen slowdown or lag have been during boss intro cutscenes -- more like brief, milliseconds-long blips rather than chugging, but worth mentioning if only because they were still noticeable. As for the number of enemies onscreen, while I'm sure it's lower than the Switch version, I still haven't found myself lacking for crowds of mooks to lay the smackdown on. It feels like a fully-featured game, rather than a sad, runty afterthought. I have no complaints so far. Other than some of the voice acting.

eclipse Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Definitely! It's plenty playable, even if the mini-map's a bit annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wissenschaft Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) I like how I can select what character to switch to on the touch screen. The game runs REALLY smoothly on the N3DS and the load times are fast. Edited October 22, 2017 by wissenschaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
