I think you just got unlucky. Call Nintendo direct and I'm sure they'll replace it ASAP for you and maybe you'll get a free game out of it or something.

Amazon? Hahaha. Look up any electronics on amazon and click the 1 star reviews they are all DOA or hosed up products. That happens with electronics, hate to say. Sit happens dude. Return it.

Lol amazon being too high and mighty to sell loving Gameboys.

Sorry I don't have any pictures to laugh at, it's already back in the box.

Thank you to everyone who said to call Nintendo, they were very polite and I was able to schedule a repair in under 5 minutes. Now I just have to wait 3 more weeks :/

From the company that brought you the Wii and a completely different console called the Wii U.

To be fair though, can you imagine the jokes if they did call it the Super Wii?

That's pretty much exactly what it is. It feels weird at first, but I got used to it really quickly and now have no trouble with extremely precise aiming in Snake Eater.

Snake Eater doesn't run any better on the N3DS, does it? I had heard the framerate on it is garbage, and I assume they will never actually patch it to take advantage of the extra cores, but the new system has twice the RAM so maybe it performs slightly better? Maybe? :pray:

Even though they system has 2x ram, the game doesn't know that and will use the normal 3ds ram amount. It would need to be patched for the extra cores and ram.

The framerate is acceptable, but not garbage. Except for the demo -- the demo's of an earlier build and the framerate is complete garbage there.

So annoyed that I found a few unredeemed Club Nintendo codes from a few random Wii games, but they are listed as 'expired' and give no coins now. Ugh, I just wanted to get some more coins to get one last item, as the 75 coins I got can't get poo poo.

Is it a new game that was released after January 20th? If yes, then no coins are given.

It gives you coins but probably not the 300 needed for gold.

Twinbee, Xevious just repeats itself. There is no end to Xevious.

Edit: Oh wait, 3D Classics, this is the Famicom one, Twinbee doesn't end either really. But Twinbee is still better than Xevious.

How many are having issues? I noticed a post or two about it in the past page, but it seemed 3-4 days ago people were also posting that it had no issue with glasses. Is it just something maybe screwed up by the style/shape of the glasses and/or lighting conditions with them?

I wear glasses and every now and then it flickers and goes visibly wonky, but it's really infrequent and doesn't bother me at all because I'm too busy being all "holy poo poo 3d is amazing I love living in the future!!"

I wear both nerd-o buddy holly frames and thin frames, does't really seem to make much difference.

Well let's see if anyone has these in stock yet.

Oh
(same results for the red model)

I went through just about every store in a hundred mile radius online, and then offhand I was like "oh hey let's check Walmart" and they were all out of stock except for one store that's kind of central that turned out to have something like 7 in the display case when I went in the next morning. No idea how they managed to not sell out.

Oh. hey, got home to find a Club Nintendo gift: the original soundtrack for Link Between Worlds. Pretty beautiful package, two discs, sheets for some of the melodies (so we can play them ourselves), and a pretty long note, sort of a Making Of from the composer (Ryo Nagamatsu). Overall, pretty satisfied. Better than some golf balls for sure.

Thanks to the goon who offered me a Kid Icarus download code. I'd take it but I like having things physical. :)

I looked on Amazon and the prices are insane for Uprising. Did they do a limited print with the game or something ?

The 3DS XL had this problem for me when I wore glasses. In order for the 3D effect to work for me I had to turn the 3D effect to so low that it may as well have been off. After I got corrective surgery the problem went away entirely and full power works fine for me. So it does seem to be something to do with lenses.

Wal-Mart said they were out of stock in my area but when I went there they had 4 in stock. Scored one of the sweet red ones.
