Well this is a WTF way to wake up. I was already asleep. Got thirsty. Noticed phone blinking. "Oh cool maybe Best Buy FINALLY shipped my stuff." Sure was an email from Best Buy stating that the MM LE that they charged me for on Wednesday and has been preparing since then is now delayed until March 17th. Thanks a lot Best Buy.

I was prepared for hell on earth.. but nothing could compare me to slightly turning not one, but two screws to get to this card.. is there any kind of counseling that nintendo offers after that. i legit see me sining up for some kind of benefit because the two screws-gate made me loose my faith in humanity and everything that i believe is real...

On a more positive note, the system transfer went pretty nintendo smooth so I have no complaints. My only question now is that every time I try to calibrate the new Super-Stable 3D I get multiple flashing warning about it is not working probably. Is this going to be a factor in future games, or is it just the fact that I wear glasses it is messing it all up?

There was a 3DS subreddit thread regarding the super stable 3D. It's your glasses.

SDHC, you can technically use SDXC cards provided they are reformatted to FAT32 I believe.

That'd be weird, I wear glasses and mine works fine.

They are small frames, so maybe if you have huge lenses that cover half your face that confuses the system or something

Temperature is below zero out here. Freezing my goddamn rear end off. This store has 3 units, thankfully it's just me and another guy, we decided to take a warmth pact and watch for new blood from a heated vehicle.

I own a Wii U and attaching my Nintendo ID to the system was an exercise in confusion. You do it in settings, the menu item looks like a header rather than an item. You should do that instead of assuming it would be done in the eShop.

This is neat though.

My target was amazingly sane about the whole process, as it turns out. They just handed these out and told us to go warm up for an hour. They got a grand total of 3.

I'm going to try to head to mine before work, but I live in a rural area so I'm likely the only loving person in the entire county that knows that a new model is coming out

I'm waiting for the conversation with the person at the register "do you have the new 3ds"
"yes we have new 3dses"
"no no I mean the NEW 3ds"
"yes they're all new, we don't sell used ones"
"no no no no I me:suicide:

I'm sitting outside my Target now, and unsurprisingly, they don't have anything like this. I'm the first, so if I'm the only, I guess I'll just wait in my car. I know they have two from seeing them already out on Tuesday.

So if you delete your games off the old 3ds does it keep the save files? I want to minimize system transfer time. I can download the game data again later

It'll give you the option if and only if it won't let you make save-data backups the normal ways (extended options on Home menu and in Data Management).

Go make save-data backups for everything first.

ALTERNATELY: It should copy just the saves if you're System Transferring to a card that can't fit the full filesystem. Make backups anyway, because I shouldn't have to explain why you make backups of files you don't want to lose.

I don't know how any of this operates with games like Fantasy Life that save to extra data rather than save data (this is why even the game card saves to SD, by the way).

so my new 3DS is set to arrive on Tuesday, which okay cool, I can live with that, but I just figured out how to look up the MM LE bundle order that I placed around the same time and it's still sitting at "open." Not even an estimate, though on my original order confirmation printout it says "Pre-release ships 12/31/2015." :negative: I know that's just a placeholder but some indication of when this might come around would be nice, jeez.
