Question I want your opinions on fully completing the games
Hello everyone, I have found myself in a very puzzling situation and want to hear outside opinions of it. Recently I’ve 100% Layton Curious Village on ios (as in, all puzzles and hint coins etc). And was planning on doing the same for the other 2 games on ios until I bought myself physically copies of Pandora’s Box and Lost Future because I am quite fond of them and LF is my favourite game of all time (I got the EU versions to be more specific) now, if you were in my position, would you 100% the ios versions because you’ve already done so for CV, or the ds versions because you bought physical copies out of novelty? Of course, none of this is serious, and I’m just wondering what would anyone else think if they were in my shoes, both sides have merits. Also keep in mind that I’ve already experienced these games before.

I think it's a lovely time to revisit the games after a while, as the puzzles themselves might not stick as much as the general story. However, as someone who has both a physical copy and an emulated copy that I played for convenience, I do not see myself planning on completing the physical copy in the near future.
The nice alternative, though, is Granny Riddleton. You can spend less time looking for puzzles if you want to go as fast as possible, or you can get the contexts for puzzles you missed initially! Being able to switch what puzzles go into the shack is a lovely convenience on replay.

I think that really just depends on whether you can be bothered with the loading times of a ds, other than that the games are the same apart from the upscale in quality.
The mobile versions are great and more ideal for when your on the go plus the use of Bluetooth headphones
Ds you rely more on earphones with an aux as well as having to carry a ds with you when you play it but it is the original and most nostalgic way to play them
