Supercar Gautier posted:NNIDs were added to the 3DS in 2013, and that made it a lot easier on Nintendo's end to do manual remote transfers. If your original system predated that and never had an NNID attached to it, there's probably still not anything they can do. Really? Thanks for the info. My original system was from late 2011, but I made purchases on it up until 2013. Would accessing the e-shop generate an NNID, or is that something I would've had to do manually? If not, it still sucks, but I feel better knowing that it's a technical problem and not Nintendo giving me the runaround.

Just a heads-up: amazon uk have stock of the MM 3ds XL - http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Nintendo-Zelda-Majoras-Mask/dp/B00SFMM0BW/ref=zg_bs_635623031_8 Direct from amazon, though they're still doing a bit of scalping. Still, it's better than paying some random prat £275+.

Yeah that post was obviously meant for PAL crowds, but just so you know, the European Majora's N3DS comes with the game, so the price is not that bad.

Yeah, a standard 3ds XL with no games is £180 (~$275) in the UK, so the MM one isn't too bad at all - even with amazon slapping an extra £15 onto the MSRP.

togetic posted:Anyone who's had Nintendo do a manual system transfer, what are the magic words that got them to pay attention to you? My housemate had to call and have Nintendo transfer stuff and all it took was about 20 minutes stuck on hold and then 15 minutes talking to a rep who just told him "okay, the transfer will be done in 24-72 hours, please don't buy anything off the eshop til then" This was NOA though, perhaps its different elsewhere in the world.

I think your problem was this was a couple years ago before 3ds had NNID. So really there's nothing you can do, they don't have the data on what your system was, and neither do you since I doubt you have your serial number. In fact whoever bought that system probably has registered their own NNID to it by now and those games belong to shim.

So right now I have an (old) 3DS XL, that I basically gave to my wife. It is the Zelda edition that came with ALBW installed. I want to buy the New 3DS XL, but is there any way to transfer Zelda from the old system to the new one, but leave the saves for Pokemon/Animal Crossing (which are my wife's games basically and I don't want her save files). Or are the save files for Pokemon X / Animal Crossing on the game card, and not the SD card, and I don't have to worry about that and can just do a System Transfer?

KennyMan666 posted:Apart from portability and Smash Run being a lot more fun than Smash Tour, what would these actually be? Better Classic Mode and less bullshit challenges (only one challenge on 3DS is what I'd call bullshit, and you've already mentioned it), easier to get custom moves, and a more personalized experience: You can have your favorite palette swap as the default and you can customize the controls the way you please, and I can say that all the records I've done on 3DS Smash are my own records. The single-player experience becomes better overall than the Wii U version because of this (which has resulted in me playing Smash on 3DS way way more than Smash on Wii U). I also think that the way the C-Stick is used on the 3DS version (if you're using the n3DS models) when you're battling is better than on the Wii U. The only things I miss in 3DS Smash that is on Wii U Smash is Event Mode and Crazy Orders, but Events can be very frustrating and Crazy Orders, whle having it's own perks like being endurance-based, isn't as enjoyable to me as 3DS Classic Mode (the mode it resembles the most) and at times feels like a bare-bones version of it.

RE: Smash guy I think I actually prefer Wii U Classic mode. Agree with you on challenges, though - 8 Lucina Cruel KOs, seriously? And of course that's unhammerable. But I've found custom move unlocking to be faster on Wii U, not in the least thanks to Crazy Orders that lets you aim for certain character's moves and certainly has felt like the best way to unlock just about everything. I imported all my custom characters from 3DS though so I could play with my moves before unlocking them. Agreeing a little on colours, I liked that on 3DS, though it's not that hard to hit Y a few times when you pick your character (and that gets saved with the customization if you have custom charactes so there's that), but Wii U has control customization as well, you just have to select your control profile every time (which have certainly annoyed me). And the records thing sounds like a weird issue to have, but if you share the Wii U with other people I guess it might be a thing. So yeah. All in all I liked the single player content on U better. Crazy Orders, oh yeah.

I heard someone mention I shouldn't leave my 3DS plugged in, is that accurate? It seems most electronics after being fully charged just automatically stop charging without my intervention. All those stories of exploded devices are when that mechanism fails from what I understand. It would be nice not to have to baby it.

Why the gently caress is Ocarina of Time 3DS $50 used (45 if you're a pro member!) at GameStop? Pretty sure I bought this game for < $30 on eShop a few months ago, and I know it's less than fifty on there. Do GameStop think that's the only way to buy the game anymore and they have the last copies in existence?

Martytoof posted:How big are 3DS games on average? If I have a 32GB MicroSD card, should last me a while, assuming I have zero interest in actually owning physical carts? Average, probably around 500 - 600MB. A handful of games break the 1GB mark, but not many. As long as you don't buy like every 3DS game there is that's made available digitally, 32GB should be plenty.

If you're looking to get a new microSD card for your New 3DS, it looks like today would be the day to do it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=lp_10330159011_gbsl_ulm_l-1_7582_36544756?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Cn%3A10330159011&ie=UTF8&node=10330159011 PNY is not a brand that's known to have issues with 3DSes in the past, is it? I know people have said things about Sandisk although I've never had a problem with them personally.

Either way, don't buy from GameStop, just stick to Amazon and the eShop and you'll be much happier for it.

OOT's not the easiest game to find these days. I think it may have only gotten the one print run, and there's a lot more 3DSes now than when it was released. edit: Amazon: $80 new, from $67.90 used.

Mario Land 3D - cart and box Shin Megami Tensei 4 - cart and box w/soundtrack if I can find it $175 shipped? Seems fair considering. Louisgod@somethingawful.com or pm if intetested.

They frequently would say they couldn't find my house, they'd leave packages in weird locations, then they claimed to have delivered my 3DS but it never arrived. UPS told me it wasn't their responsibility and to talk to Nintendo. Nintendo told me it wasn't their responsibility and to talk to the repair place (the shipper). Finally got a cool guy at the repair place on the phone. He said its Nintendo's responsibility and he's contact their Nintendo rep for me. Nintendo called me within the hour and apologized for the situation, told me my first call to them wasn't handled properly, and shipped me a replacement (refurb blue) 3DS in two days. I really liked my black DS and the new 3DS coming in black is the biggest driving force for me wanting one. After that mess up I didn't give any business to UPS until Christmas time and I had no other choice. They left a $150 coffee machine on the porch steps in the rain instead of dropping it on the porch steps with a roof over them that is visible from the uncovered steps... UPS is dead to me. That's my overly long, cautionary tale about UPS in the 3DS thread. I hope your return goes smoothly!

Does the 3DS stand that comes with the physical version of Kid Icarus even work with an XL? They're cheap enough on eBay, but I forgot that they were made when the tiny original 3DS was the only one out. Haven't actually played KI:U, but considering it as a Club Nintendo reward. Not sure how valid a frame of reference this is, but I found the controls in Metroid Prime Hunters quite uncomfortable, enough so that I quit the game about halfway through.
