I just picked up an xl fire emblem bundle on amazon, but I've never owned a hand held outside my phone and tablet. What's the most recommended place to pick up games for cheap? Amazon? I recently discovered the hilarious prices for ps3 games at pawn shops for like 3-10 dollars, but I didn't see any 3ds games in there

Wondering if anyone could recommend (or not) Pilotwings resort? It keeps catching my eye but I hate to buy it if it's no good.

I got it at launch, but there's barely a game there (not unlike Pilotwings 64), and the 3D probably doesn't hold up compared to newer 3DS games.

Does anyone ever actually use 3D? I've had mine pretty much permanently off since I got mine and whenever I turn it on I say "That's annoying" and shut it off.

Awesome! posted:there's an xl fire emblem bundle? I've been looking to pick up a 3DS XL since Christmas time, and found that one while keeping an eye on prices here in Europe. It's a real pity that I wasn't interested when it first came out, because it's blue and has some really nice art on it. I actually managed to pick up a Blue 3DS XL for £118 today, so I finally managed to pick one up at a price I was looking for. Also, I meant to ask, having looked into Fire Emblem I feel it could be something I'd really enjoy, in fact I ended up buying it alongside the new Zelda game. I was wondering if it had similar gameplay elements to Age of Empires/Age of Mythology for the DS (if anyone played those), as the tactical screen looked kind of like it? AoE and AoM are easily my most played DS games, and I'd love to play more like it.

I used it in Link Between Worlds, 3D Land, Fire Emblem and maybe one or two others but I keep it off 95% of the time. I've seen a decent chunk of people in the thread saying they always have it on though. Link Between Worlds does 3D better than any other game on the system and I think you're missing out if you keep it off.

I don't use it either because I move around a lot and unless you're looking at it at the right perspective, it looks weird and out of focus. I also have a slight astigmatism, but it affects far distances and not near, so I don't know if that has an effect.

vulturesrow posted:I havent tried your scripts yet since I just got the AP working last night but is there any chance you might write in a way to pull the updated MACs from the Google spreadsheet, or is that even necessary? How about a built-in randomizer when it pulls from macs.list? In order: 1. Not easily*, but it's not very necessary either. If you pull the "Extended Prime MACs" list from the google doc, you'll have more MACs than you could reasonably use. Bear in mind, you can pull from any given MAC once every 8 hours per 3DS, and there's about 160 on the EPM page. 2. Built-in randomizer is also difficult to do*, but you can pre-randomize your list. If you have your list of macs, just run 'sort -R macs.list > r_macs.list && mv r_macs.list macs.list'. * The reason the script doesn't have anything fancy like automatic randomization or dynamic MAC pulling is because it was written to run on the minimal version of DD-WRT, which is very tiny and comes without a lot of the basic functionality that a "proper" linux router would have, like curl or perl, and the routers it's mean to work on don't have enough spare storage space to store and run those utilities anyways. Dealing with getting the MACs and pre-randomizing them to taste means that all the script needs to store is "how many macs it has left to iterate through" and "what line of the macs list you're currently on".

3D while commuting to work means nausea. Otherwise it looks pretty good, except in Pokemon where I find the transitions between the full 3D battles to the zero 3D environment about as painless, sleek and well done as playing chopsticks on a grand piano with your balls.

Most games are fine, but games that are "DSi Enhanced" won't work on a 3DS from a different region. There are only a few of those, but that includes the Pokemon Black and White series. I think there's a list of DSi Enhanced games on Wikipedia. Make sure any games you buy aren't on that list.

You could try the Advance Wars DS games I guess since you can build units there (but no buildable buildings and research). You might be tempted to try Civilization Revolution, but you shouldn't since it's a very simplified version and I didn't like it at all. I did get curious myself however if there were any games like it and google gave me Lock's quest which sounds pretty interesting. Never played it though.

Ha! I was disappointed because my husband hadn't ordered the Bravely Default CE on Amazon like he said he would and he was really sorry and said we could get it on eBay or whatever if it came to that. Guess what showed up on my doorstep from Best Buy this morning? He forgot he ordered from them instead.

Just bought Virtue's Last Reward because 9.99GBP is a great price. I don't see myself able to get 999 before May at the earliest, so I was thinking of just skipping it and going through a Let's Play. Anyone got any recommendations of one you have enjoyed that will give me a good enough grounding to get going with VLR afterwards?

So I decided to be a cheap rear end in a top hat and try to buy a refurbished XL from Nintendo, but Nintendo seems to be pretty bad at the whole selling stuff online thing. They don't actually send out order confirmations nor do they process orders when you make them. Now I'm just waiting around wondering if I'm actually going to get charged or not because I have no clue if my order actually exists.

You may want to call them and find out what the gently caress because everytime i've ordered something straight from nintendo I got order confirmations and they processed it relatively fast as long as it wasn't a Club Nintendo reward. Should come up under the name noaorders in your email.
