Although, some of these emulators have been around for a while, not everyone is getting total support for their hard work. Development for these emulators takes time. Supporting the creators of mentioned apps by buying the paid versions if you ACTUALLY enjoy the emulator. dq4 mobile is a must, dq5-6 are just as good on ds.ġ.
Tl dr tl dr: Only play mobile version of dq4-6.
dq8 play on Citra upscaled with music patch if you have a good pc, 3ds with music patch if you have cfw (first link), and regular 3ds if you don't. dq7 probably play on 3ds, not really relevant. Play the mobile version of dq4 and if you're not sick of the controls, stick with mobile for dq5-6. Tl dr: play the gbc version of dq1-3 rather than the mobile version. If you have a good pc that's even better because you can then upscale the 3ds version with Citra for the true definitive experience. Skipping to dq8 (dq7 isn't on mobile), here's another point where having put cfw on your 3ds pays off because you're going to want to patch the game to put back in the ps2 soundtrack. Depending on if you like the controls and the prices of the games vs the ds carts, dq5-6 mobile and ds are interchangeable. Unlike every other game, the mobile version here is the definitive one. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about dq3.ĭragon Quest 4 is the first (and only) game you need to play on mobile. Now dq3 you can play on Android/ios, but I don't think the names will line up with the gbc version of dq1-2 (since these 3 games are a closely connected trilogy unlike any other games in the series) so really you want to play the gbc version of dq3 too.
dq1-2 on Android and snes have issues and gbc is better in every way than nes. Alternatively, download MyOldBoy on your android device (might be a gbc emulator on ios too, idk). You can now inject games into the 3ds virtual console. Once you're acquainted, I'd like to introduce you to another of my friends, If you really don't want to do any of this, you are likely to be a bit tired. If it's time, start cooking and take an early meal. Do 15 pushups then 15 abs.ĭo your chores. If you don't like to read, go for a walk. If you don't have a computer, go pick up a book.
Also some really good flash games in Kongregate.ĭid you know you can install a gameboy emulator on most smartphones? I'd suggest My Oldboy (the free version doesn't allow cheat and quicksave but you don't need that, do you?). There is a handful of free or on-sales games on Steam. I'd suggest you start with C, it's better to fully embrace how a computer works. My personnal suggestion : manhwa, they are free and of excellent quality.Ĭonsider an online programming course.
Or you can pick up some webcomics to read. You can go waste a whole afternoon in a blink in tvtropes. If you have a computer with internet, the possibilities are almost endless.
Hell, there's even a Pokemon mod for Minecraft (Pixelmon), fan-made Pokemon MMOs (, , and others), and Smogon university (along with Pokemon Showdown, which allows you to concentrate on PvP battling without having to find, breed, and lvl up mons). You can choose to either play completely new games (Drayano hacks are particularly recommended, as well as Pokemon Uranium) or re-visit the old games with nuzlocke or randomizers or, like in the case of Red++, with bugfixes and new features. If you're interested, there's the r/PokemonROMhacks sub that has a lot of info on this stuff. You can even play them on your phone or tablet, for example I installed My Oldboy on my 8 year-old nephew's tablet and downloaded Pokemon Red++ for him, which is a romhack that fixes bugs in the original game and adds new features. There are tons of games out there to choose from and the quality is incredible, much much better than anything Nintendo will ever make. I just wanted to add some details in this regard. I then discovered the wonderful world of Pokemon romhacks and fan games, which have already been mentioned in the replies, and have never turned back.
When I played Moon I realised how easy and uninspired the series had become over the years. I was like you, a casual fan of the games for many years.
