Zaa Boogie posted:Man, with all these reports I'm reading I'm kinda glad I just walked into a Gamestop and preordered one when I had the chance last week. Same, but I did it a month ahead and paid it down then because I'm always an early adopter. I wanted to get the MM n3ds, but the red one is pretty drat nice on it's own. I'll probably slap a decal on it later, though.

I found a black New XL at a Walmart on my way to work, won't open until tomorrow morning since it's a holiday here. Guess I'll go pick it up then. EBGames.com also had stock for a short while this morning, but now both red and black are out. Seems like they get regular stock online since it was showing as OOS yesterday and then available this morning. Should have just bought online but I figured it would be around for a while. Oops! I wonder if I'm worrying about nothing, and BestBuy/etc will have stock later this week anyway. I'd rather not buy from Walmart but mehh.

Maybe this has been discussed before, if so sorry. Why doesn't Amazon have the new 3DS yet or is it just sold out there? I have gift cards to burn.

I got some practice unscrewing today when my friend came over to get his own 3DS unscrewed. It wasn't too hard, just a bit rough on my fingers prying it open since the stylus didn't seem to do the trick. But I feel confident in my ability. I knew I shouldn't have worried in the first place.

So I saw that system transfer video and it made sense and all that but I just want to make sure: I have the MH4 system with the game preinstalled and way too many games on my old system to fit into the tiny 4GB microSD card. In order to transfer everything and not lose monhun, what would I need to do?

If it's a preinstalled game, when you do the system transfer it's going to combine it with the Nintendo ID you port over. You'll be able to go into the E-Shop to reinstall it. Same thing happened with me when I got a Mario and Luigi 3DS. I was able to redownload it fine even though I never bought it digitally.

Or after transferring/before redownloading monhun? EDIT: I understand I'll be able to redownload my eshop games, but I don't want to lose my saves on my games.

That's up to you. If you do a Limited Wireless transfer it'll move all your saved games over to the 4gb card already in the system and you'll have to redownload any other digital games manually. Your saves will still be there for them. And you can still redownload MH4. If you *did* want to get a bigger card for your New 3DS you'll be transferring files using your computer. You'd do this during the transfer after it's moved over all your licenses and says to have your new card put into the system. That's the way I'm most familiar with since it's what I did.

Copy the data on your current SD card on PC via card reader and copy on a microSD big enough to hold it. The system will ask whether you'll be using the microSD currently in the target system or not (shortly before starting the transfer).

What's loving fascinating about this system transfer stuff is we're presumably a community filled with people who know how to do things like read and use a computer. I can't imagine some know-nothing parent being able to deal with this poo poo.

Anything I should know and what games are good to grab for someone looking for a deep gaming experience? This is my first Nintendo console since the original gameboy. (Virtual Boy never happened.) I've picked up a handful games. My favorites are Super Mario 3D Land and Bravely Default. Also, the Azure Striker GUNVOLT theme is the manliest theme for the 3DS. It will suffice until Space Dandy's glorious pompadour graces the Nintendo universe. IRSmurf fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Feb 16, 2015 |

The hardest part about the system transfer was having to do it an hour before work, forgetting my NNID password, then having my recently downloaded anti-virus decide yahoo mail was not a "safe site" and blocking my access to it. None of that had anything to do with the actual process though.

Yup, as long as the card you'll be using in the end is a microSD. The transfer explains it in rather great detail, so do not fear the transfer, fear the screwing around.

For those looking for systems in their area, make sure you check your local Toys 'R Uses... I just checked mine after all the Gamestops, Targets, Best Buys, and Walmarts were out, and it had them in stock. Bought it online for store pickup and when I showed up they had about 10 of each color sitting on the shelf, plus a promotion for $10 off if you also buy Majora's Mask with it, which I did. Also grabbed a spiffy Power A universal charging kit that has a car charger, a multi-prong cable that's pretty long (6ft) and the standard AC adapter for $15. Not a bad deal at all, if I do say so myself.

How long is MH4 taking to DL from the eShop for the rest of you? I set it downloading and it's been going for an hour with no sign of stopping... I normally get 2.5 MB/sec off stuff like Steam, wondering how lovely Nintendo's servers are right now... considering it's Nintendo, I'm going to assume really lovely.

Red Robin Hood posted:Oh, well... I guess I don't know. Yeah, it doesn't matter what was on the new system when you do the transfer. You'll port over the NNID from the old one and override whatever's on there. Regardless, they do kinda tell you not to put an ID on a new system before you do a transfer.
