Dehry posted:They could probably do Sonic 2 without much trouble, but the guys doing the mobile phone remakes of the game think Sonic 3 & Knuckles could be a bit troublesome. Also, with the recent shakeup at Sega to focus on mobile and PC, they actually lost contact with the people they were working with to make the ports. I wouldn't be surprised if the Japanese developers have been shifted around as well. There's also the supposed licensing issues of the Sonic 3 music which depending on which video game folklore you listen to was actually produced by Michael Jackson (who went uncredited publicly) and now allegedly owned by his estate. That's always seemed pretty crazy to me, but it is Sega so who fuckin' knows.

Guys, guys. The 3DS shop theme's updated. To the Ocarina of Time store theme  .Incidentally, when are we supposed to get those new Home themes for Majora's Mask, Monster Hunter and Ace Combat? I would've thought they'd be up by now.

3DS Gamestop.com pre-orders have started shipment rollout. If you have UPS Choice you should have gotten an e-mail this morning about the label authorization (if it's being delivered tomorrow), and you'll see a tracking number on Gamestop.com with the order closed now (or very soon).

I spoke with a Best Buy lady over the phone a few days ago, actually, and she said that devices will ship out at 12:01 AM on the 13th, but that it'll take around 24 hours to generate tracking info, so don't expect tracking until the 14th. So, just a heads up.

My N3DS arrived from the Nintendo UK store earlier. My glasses can screw up the super stable 3D occasionally, but when it works, it's amazing. The new stylus is pretty terrible compared to the old 3DS XL one (shorter and thinner), and the front is a bad position for it, but at least it won't be accidentally slipping out. Still need to get fully used to the different grip required, going from the larger system to the smaller one. Have tried out amiibo in SSB3DS, a Grand Prix in MK7 to see how the 3D improves things, and the first cycle in Majora's Mask.

So the old retractable stylus won't fit in the slot? That's too bad, the new stylus was one of the better design choices in the original 3DS.

I got my copy of the Majora's Mask special edition in the post today, the little poster that comes with it is pretty cool, the game itself looks good too, lotta new dialogue I've noticed so far, many is just obvious hints from Tatl. Getting the Bombers Notebook from the Mask Salesman was different too.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:3d land, if you beat it and still want more mario, then do nsmb2 Yeah, but if 3D Land is a Platinum reward and NSMB2 isn't, then if I spend the coins now on 3D Land I may end up with a lovely Platinum reward. Already have DK 3D and don't give a poo poo about any of the physical rewards.

Just assume whatever the platinum reward is will be something you already own, and be pleasantly surprised if it isn't.

Venusy posted:I never had the original 3DS, just the XL (which did not come with a retractable stylus), but comparing against a third party retractable one that I assume should have fitted into it, no. The slot is so thin that only the N3DS stylus can go in there, and I believe the N3DSXL stylus is the same as the N3DS one. Oh man, I loved the 3DS's retractable stylus. I guess I just have to hope that N3DSXL's isn't as tiny as the original DS lite's.

I pre-ordered the bundle with the statue, and found out yesterday it was actually an online order, despite making it in-store. Since it's a holiday weekend where I am, I might not get it until next week. Laaaame.

 DS Lite, DSi, 3DS XL, N3DS regular. As far as I know, the N3DS stylus and the N3DS XL one are the same, but I could be completely wrong. v  v Would compare against my DS Phat as well, but no idea where that is or if I even still have it, but that probably would be the closest thing to compare to.

Was beginning to get nervous that others may have gotten their shipments already. Not going to have time to play it for a bit anyway, just good to know its out there.

The screws are so small that even a correct size #0 Philips won't get a real grip on the screw. They're screwed in extremely tightly and don't come all the way out. Then you have to pry the cover off with your stylus which I'm still stuck on.
