morcant posted:Well hell, that's even better! Thanks for the info. From the 3DS thread, it seems the optimal strategy is buying 3x 35 dollar cards and 1x 20 dollar card for 100 dollars even. Take the 15 dollar gift card you get, and use it to buy a 20 dollar card. 145 Nintendo Funny Money for 101 dollars. And if you have reward coupons with Best Buy, you can use those too. I ended up getting 145 for 96 bucks. Pretty nice. Or it would be, if I could actually use those to buy games

deafmute posted:If you link your NNID between your 3ds and Wii U the balance is shared between the 2. If you spent $100 or more at Best Buy you get a $15 gift card. You could get 2 $50 eShop cards($80) and a $35 one($28) for $108 total then get a $15 gift card back. I think the best way to take advantage of the deal is to get three $35 cards ($28 each) and one $20 ($16 each) card. It'll put you right at $100 and qualify you for the $15 gift card, which you could then go back into the store and use to grab another $20 card. Edit: Beaten, should have refreshed before posting.

Or if they are low on $35 cards you can also do a 50 + 35 + (2x20) which gives the same amount.

Bought Mario Tennis earlier and I just realized the cool features that were unlocked by linking to the N64 won't be available, not unless Nintendo does some work to link the 3DS and Wii U when the eventual N64 version comes out and we all know they won't.  Same goes for Mario Golf of course.

They've shifted the American servers to Japan for twelve hours to accommodate a sudden massive surge in Japanese demand. It's not that America is an afterthought, it's that Japan is going to spend a billion dollars on Pokemon bullshit in the next twelve hours and they need all their resources serving that market. Sometimes America gets lucky, sometimes Japan. Very occasionally Europe. Today is a Japan day. Roll with it.

The West Coast and Hawaii aren't going to fare much better. It's 1AM to 1PM on the West coast and 11pm to 11am in Hawaii. At least in theory you could buy a bunch of things and let it sit overnight. They really are just focusing on Japan. If they cared about high demand or serving everyone fairly it would be staggered and not Japan 12 hours then the rest of the world 12 hours. It's just got to be this unified Nintendo Network that is the issue. The US eShop servers would have to be reconfigured entirely unless for some reason they also have all the Japanese games stored on them and can change the region on them at will. The website even specifically mentions the creation of Nintendo Network IDs being the issue. They may have enough server space to run the eShop (Pokemon XY issues cleared up in an hour,) but now everything worldwide authenticates through the one service, including the new Pokebank App, which has to reconnect constantly because only one box at a time can be transferred from the old games.

Dehry posted:US and Europe are offline at the same time, but going down at 9PM is better than 1PM. Unless something has changed, thanks to Nintendo of Europe's decision to base themselves in Germany AND their over-conservative implementation of the loving insane German laws to do with the internet, it means that you can't look at any info about / download any content related to games with a rating higher than PEGI 12 (I think you can download PEGI 12 games still right?) so it really depends on what it is you are trying to do.

RMZXAnarchy posted:I thought they took down Pokemon Bank in Japan though? Yep - nowhere is getting an amazing deal out of this (though it does seem that the west coast of the US and Australia are getting the worst deal) - if it weren't for the fact this is a Japanese company, and Nintendo at that, I'd assume this was a colossal fuckup that would be leading to heads rolling but I can't imagine there will be any fall-out. ookiimarukochan fucked around with this message at 10:58 on Dec 28, 2013 |

I think what he means is that there used to be ridiculous restriction that prevented people from downloading any games rated 18+ from the eShop unless it was between 1 AM - 6 PM or so, but I don't think it lasted that long and was ditched a few months back.

The situation was that you couldn't download PEGI 18 rated games (not PEGI 12 as you remember, which would've been silly, even by German standards) in Nintendo's network services (ie. 3DS and Wii U) except during the night. This changed when German authorities of watsdatname-agency were satisfied enough by Nintendo's built-in parental controls to give Nintendo a go-ahead to sell stuff freely without time restrictions. So there.

Kurtofan posted:How's Super Little Acorns 3D turbo? It's pretty cheap right now on the Eshop. It's a fun little platformer. You normally can't die (hitting an enemy turns you green and slows you down) so the goal is speed running more than just getting through the level and there is a time to beat for each. There is normal mode and turbo where everything is sped up so it's not bad for replays since turbo has its own set of acorns to earn. Dressing up your squirrel in silly clothes is a nice touch - mine is in a suit, sunglasses, black bowler hat and has a rainbow rope to swing from. I wouldn't say it's a must buy or anything but you can certainly do much worse.

If you've played SSF4 on any other console/PC, it's basically like that. Plays the same, looks a little worse but not noticeably so. And of course you're using the 3DS's buttons + L and R, so.

From what I can tell the AR gimmick stuff is just a side thing that'll they add more puzzles to over time with spotpass. I think there's some legit Chibi Robo stuff in there, but Chibi Robo has done so many things across the series I'm not totally sure what "legit Chibi robo stuff" is anymore. Other than something I want to do, anyway.

greatn posted:How does Child robot play anyway? What kind of games are they? In the second game you are in a park and have to attract visitors by planting flowers and hiring toys to make attractions for your park like benches, fountains, etc. There are also smog monsters you have to fight that will try and kill your flowers. This game wasn't as good as the first one. I don't know what the third one is like because it never got localised, but from the screenshots and videos it looked like it went back to the style of the first one.
