Saturday!
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D
You remember everything you’ve so far learned (so, for example, if you learn the secret password to the clubhouse of the kids in town, you’ll have it from that moment forward) but you don’t get to keep stuff like the cash in your wallet or your ammo (deku nuts, arrows, bombs, etc). *BUT* you do keep stuff like equipment upgrades (larger wallets, larger bomb bags) and you keep the receipt from your last trip to the bank. So if you left 200 in there, you’ve got 200 at the beginning of the three strange days.
Always get a receipt.
While half of it feels very much like a Zelda game, the other half of it feels like nothing I’ve ever played before. It’s Groundhog Day: The Game. It’s, seriously, the best game to come out for the 3DS in the last year or so.
So… what are you playing?

Hey, I’m begnning my weekend! by checking out a new commenting (dys?)functionality.Report
aargh – gotta futz with some futzables – but I do think y’all will like the new options once they’re actually selectable…Report
Btw… I never noticed before how… well, cruddy… the site looks on Safari compared to other browsers… font-rendering-wise… gonna have to look into thatReport
What kind of rendering problems? Just idle curiosity. Firefox and Safari look almost identical on my Mac, but of course I’m forcing my own choice of fonts and (to some extent) sizes on things. I’ve also taken steps to force both to use the native sub-pixel anti-aliasing instead of anything else.Report
One of the downsides to getting the phone swapped out is that I have lost all of my progress on the Flow Free game (featured in the image on the post). I was probably about 2/3 the way through mastering it.
Every game should have a premium feature that will use Google Drive (or Dropbox) to save your progress across devices.
Android app developers are really pretty cruddy about monetization. There are a lot of cases where “If they added this feature, I would pay for it” when I don’t think it would actually be too terribly difficult to add it. I am driven especially crazy when I would pay money to make ads and nags go away, and I can’t.Report
some small chance that this commenting subscription attempt will kind of work one way or another more or less maybeReport
Hmmm well where do I go if I auto-subscribe to this post and then check mange my subs?Report
dammit I can’t believe the problem was that simple… OK… I think the thing works after all… sorry about polluting your thread, Jaybird. Would you like me to delete these comments?Report
Not at all. Just play Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask.Report
I never played Majora’s Mask, but it sounds like a similar mechanic was borrowed by Half-Minute Hero. Like the name suggests, you only have 30 seconds to stop the bad guy from ending the world. Time is paused in towns and you can reset at various points of the gameplay and you have to figure out how to complete each mission within the allotted time.Report
I played a dating sim with the same conceit. Except it was “go back in time and relive your high school career” — and try not to get hit by a bus in the first year…Report
