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:

I was worried about the framerate but it's fine. It's a little low, but it's consistent and the game stays responsive so I stopped noticing almost immediately.

Had this happen to me. Same reason too, cause of the snow and all. UPS came through today though and I got my N3DS.

Hoping yours comes in tomorrow.

At the very least there's a very real possibility of finding your package with the delivery guy's frozen hand still clutching it, so you won't be able to say you didn't get your pound of flesh in compensation.

02/18/2015 5:49 P.M. An emergency situation or severe weather condition has delayed delivery.
02/18/2015 4:54 P.M. Severe weather conditions have delayed delivery. / Your delivery has been rescheduled for the next business day

And it was overnighted early on the 16th from one state away :argh:

All we got was like, an inch of snow and some ice. Do couriers completely shut down for the winter in the northeast or something?

Given the massive cult following behind the "Rainfall" games, I'd actually be quite surprised if we don't see a newXL Special Edition out in the US/PAL regions.

I still feel pretty sure there'll be a Xenoblade XL released in North America. It'd be weird to miss that opportunity with the first New-exclusive game.

When you want a screenshot, hit the home button, then either go to Miiverse or go to Nintendo 3DS Image Share (in the Home menu), and upload the screenshot.

Have you seen the amount of Skylanders and Disney Infinity toys that gets stuck on most shelves? A soft launch was a really smart idea in the face of that.

They have a ton of sales data that shows the US market was overwhelmingly uninterested in the OG 3DS when faced with both the XL and the 2DS and they didn't think they could get away with introducing two new iterations, so they settled for the one that seemed best suited to the market.

Not on the XL. Only the regular new3DS has interchangeable Faceplates.

Whenever they offer both a small and a large iteration the large one sells way better, so they added the faceplates to the small one as a point of differentiation.

This seems to not take a screen shot at all when I hit home then select twitter. It just looks at what photos I already have.

To do that, they would either have to sell two sizes of faceplates in regions where both models are available, or they'd have to create a different XL design just for the US.

That's a really cool faceplate, and I love me some Xenoblade, but in all honesty... I couldn't go back to a smaller 3DS after using an XL for so long.

I just couldn't. The XL is just so drat nice... Here's hoping they make a Xenoblade special edition XL!
