Mario Tennis: Power Tour for the GBA was one of my favorite games on the GBA it was amazing, this game sucks.  Only reason I got it was because I found it for $20 and I still feel cheated...  They took out all the RPG elements and made it so the clothes you wear make you better, they took out the story mode and just put in a Tournament mode, and the mechanics are a step down, because they took out the special shots that you unlock every time you beat an opponent.  Also the online is pretty boring.  It feels so rushed, I wish they actually put some work into it like they did with Power Tour.

That's probably because it was rushed. However, I feel as though most Mario sports titles aren't all that amazing in the first place. Minus the rare change in the formula.

You really need to play Power Tour on the GBA, if you find a cheap copy grab it, or you could emulate it.  I promise you'll like it.

So far, etrian odyssey, smtIV, and tale of the abyss are spot on with my taste.

Theatrythm sounds like a good choice. Also, yeah I jsut got zero's last reward on vita. What a great game!

Bravely Default sounds good too

Am I a hipster or a self-proclaimed one? I'm not sure. Perhaps you have a quote, but 99% of the time I don't even tell the truth anyway.

Is this a joke or not? tbh, when we saw it at e3 last year...it kinda looked fun <_<

Not buying another monster hunter until it's on vita. I refuse to use or pay for that massive money sink piece of plastic

I'm not going to read through the whole thread because there have been plenty of threads just like this one, so I assume I know what games have been mentioned...
Give Kid Icarus a chance; many complain about the controls, but refuse to play the game for more than thirty minutes...
The controls become quite natural with time...
I would also recommend Pushmo...
If you didn't play Donkey Kong Country Returns on Wii, you should definitely try it on 3DS...
Just know it provides a serious challenge...

I'm not familiar with this phrase?  What does it mean?

Animal Crossing. I've been playing the series since the first and this is the best version I've played since that one and in many ways, it's superior. I have trouble putting it down because there is just so much to do.
