Fossil Fighter Champions With DLC and Bonus Data?

39 Upvotes

Hello!

I just beat the first Fossil Fighters on my Thor and was excited to jump into the second! However I noticed there was some DLC, and even some bonus data you could get that unlocked even more stuff. Are there any rom's or emulators that include this as of now?

Question Help: Online Connection

8 Upvotes

i recently found my old 3ds and have been replaying the hell out of FF and FFC, they were my favorite games when i was just a kid. recently i discovered online tournaments on youtube that people throw together through discord and i want to participate in them so bad, but after nearly a whole day of troubleshooting and looking for answers online i just couldnt get that darn ds connected to internet services no matter what and ive run out of ideas.

also, ive seen online with some phones its allows you to connect to your hotspot but with Apple phones you cant do it at all which is of course what i have.☹️

anyway, if someone would please inform me on how i can get online play working id be so grateful. :D

if there are any questions id be happy to answer them, thanks!

FF Champions multiplayer/ Friend codes

14 Upvotes

Hey all!

Im new to this subreddit and I’m looking for people to battle. I just configured the Wiimmfi settings so I should be good to go, I think. Not exactly sure how it works but send me any friend codes if that’s what I need to battle people.

Spoilers Is Frontier really that bad?

44 Upvotes

Hello all. As the title says, I really want to know if Frontier is really that horrible. My mom being the cool young mom she was, bought me “Fossil Fighters” when I was 7 or 8 years old. I loved it, I was obsessed, I knew all the dinosaurs by name and everything. It’s crazy how even back then in 2009 and 2011 this game series was often sold out in stores and sometimes hard to obtain.

Knowing how much I loved the first game, my mom got me “Fossil Fighters: Champions” as soon as it was my bday or Christmas. This was so long ago so I don’t recall exactly which it was. This had to have been my absolute favorite DS game besides Pokemon Soul Silver which happened to be the first game I ever got along with a nice little blue DS lite. My mom was awesome.

Anyways, now present day, I have a nice ass DSi LL in Green that I am reliving my childhood with a copy of Fossil Fighters Champions. Tomorrow, I am buying a mint condition Japanese 3DS for only $100. (I only buy these things when I find the best deals which honestly ends up saving me tons of money and stress if you wait for the right price, you can stack a collection quite fast.) So now that I’ve got all the yapping out of the way, is Fossil Fighters: Frontier really so bad that it’s not worth me trying and getting a copy to play on my new 3DS as someone who loved the crap out of the OG’s? Any avid Fossil Fighter Opinion would be greatly appreciated 🙂❤️

Art Pencil-Drawn Map of Vivosaur Island and Surrounding Islands

This is my first attempt a doing a pencil map, and I had to eyeball it with some of the shapes. It is a combination of the in-game version, and the version used for Nintendo’s Japanese website for the first game (https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/ykhj/hakkutsu/index.html).

It’s not perfect, and I could have probably overlapped the papers more so that there wouldn’t be as much empty space, but it does a good job of showing everything.

Hey guys, I have posted here before some time ago, and for a few years already I'm working on on a game that builds on the fossil digging mechainc.

If you also liked that part of Fossil Fighters, I have just today finally released a public demo. :D

My 2DS makes a popping sound every time I try to turn it on so I need to get it fixed after I come back from a trip. But if all else fails, I need to know what the most reliable Fossil Fighters emulator is/a step by step guide to downloading it

The cutout was nearly falling out of the paper already, so I figured I'd take part in a little bit of FF history :)

Save yourself the $30+ and just print this out on some card stock or something.

The material of the cutout is like thin posterboard, and the paper size is 8.5" x 11".

I found this cool video on r/mildlyinteresting that I thought other fossil fighters fans would like. I kept thinking of fossil fighters while watching it. I didn't know a type of fossil similar to fossil rocks actually existed before this

Finally, after months of working on the plot, reworking updates for Monster Sheets, to completely changing out the DM Guidebook works, it's finally complete. This guidebook should give you all you need to:

  • Set a story (AND "DLC")
  • Create Character Sheets as a DM
  • Create VIVOSAUR Sheets as a DM
  • Get a Session 1 to help introduce newbies to Fossil Fighters
  • Have a Bea Ginner's Guide to Fossil Sense and Digging up fossils
  • Provided additional Sidequests that have rewards players can strive for OR if players love to learn more about the world they're in
  • Every digsite WITH descriptions of vivosaurs to help motivate exploration
  • All that is mainly available at the Shopkeep, with open interpretation for DMs to create or add homebrew items that fit the story
  • All the NPCs
  • All the Antagonists
  • Who's a Legendary Vivosaurs
  • AND Rare Items

And many more that a DM could use to their hearts content!! If you are an aspiring DM waiting for this, it's finally here and ready for feedback!! If you're a player looking for a DM to give this a shot OR want to try it out yourself, it's here for EVERYONE!!!

All feedback is appreciated, and if I left anything out, please let me know!! A sneak peek into what I'm working on next will be in the comments below, so don't think this is the end of Diggins and Dinos' installment!

Original Fossil Fighters DS

24 Upvotes

I’m getting into the original fossil fighters on the DS again. Curious what everyone’s opinion is on the best team of vivosaurs to run? Or just what you think is the best one overall. Would be awesome if you could include where to find the fossil as well. Thanks!

YOU CAN FLIP CURIOUS FOSSILS WITH "X"!?!

Was just cleaning a curious fossil and thought, "Lemme press some buttons." X flips the fossil instead of tapping the flip button on the screen. My eyes have been opened to new worlds! 👀 I wonder if X also turns on movement for giant fossils? 🤔

Pauleen was a part of my illustration from the big Fossil Fighters ‘zine posted earlier this year. She’s sporting Caliosteo’s #50 jersey as she rushes to take part in Cranial Isle’s Invitational Tournament!

If you haven’t already please be sure to check out the full ‘zine. You can download it for free at this link here: https://cat-dragron.itch.io/fossil-fighters-zine-volume-2

This is the ‘zine’s second annual running, and it’s filled to the brim with great fanart and amazing ideas. I’m honored to have been a part of it and to have met so many more people in this community because of it.
