For those looking for a grip for their New XL:

http://www.eachmall.com/goods-43600-51876.html

Worth a shot, for me it ended up being just over $7 for shipping to NJ, so I'm gonna try it out and see if it's a flimsy piece of poo poo or actually pretty good. We'll see!

Quoting from the Monster Hunter thread, gonna see how it pans out.

and I thought my mm edition was hosed

And here I was, freaked out that I dropped my MM N3DS down the stairs while it was in it's slim hard case. It's rather amazing, really, how sturdy those things are. The console fits so snugly and has about 15+ games cart worth of cushion that I don't think it even got damaged at all.

I have this. It's awesome but a little short compared to the one in the picture. I think they may have sent me one cut for the old XL. Not a big deal, though.

Does it actually feel like leather or is it that super cheapy "suede" material they make those janky screen wipe cloths out of?

I reviewed the 3DS one for a site awhile ago. It's good.

It's ultrasuede so not real leather, but it doesn't feel like cheap junk. The construction is generally solid. Also works pretty well for cleaning the screen and outer surface.

Welp gently caress it, $17 down the drain. I could've had people scout three 3DS's for that and had some leftover for jerky. :mad:

I've got a bunch of old things to register with Club Nintendo, but I'm in the UK. It says US/Canada only, and there's a UK store... but the offerings on the UK store aren't nearly as nice. Can I register cross-region or is it gonna kick me out and eat my codes if I try?

Finally picked one up. What case are you guys using to keep this baby safe?

PDP makes a "Pull & Go Folio" case that is great... here is a link to their garish NSMB2 version:

http://www.amazon.com/Super-Mario-B...words=3ds+folio

Why it is better than other cases:

1. No chance for metal zipper pulls scratching or rubbing off the finish on your 3DS (the outer cased has a zipper, but your 3DS is inside a velcro pocket)
2. Removable "pocket" sized case for when you want to get coins or whatever
3. Holds 29 games
4. Holds the charger
5. Has space enough space to also house one 3DS 18 card game case (or one regular DS case, but what the gently caress would the point of that be) thus upping your total on hand physical games to 47 games

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

I am loving the poo poo out of my N3DS. Since I never had the system I always figured Fire Emblem: Awakening was a standard JRPG (of which I'm not into that genre) so I downloaded the demo because everyone says how good it is and wow was I wrong. I picked the full version up today and it's amazing. It's like Advance Wars with a fantasy setting, cool story and deeper strategy. Good poo poo.

Wait, this is your first exposure to FE? Have you been living under a rock, son? Wait til you find out that the formula hasn't changed a whole lot from when the series was on the DS, GBA, Wii, Gamecube...

That looks ideal. But I wouldn't recommend WaterField's flashier case. I bought the Vita version of this one: http://www.sfbags.com/products/nintendo-3ds-xl-gear-pouch-pro

IRL, it looked like a hooker's sequin clutch.

This would be nicer if it had some sort of flap with a button or latch to prevent the thing from sliding out.

I know I've seen a lot of people confidently saying "this is what Nintendo thinks" but I just can't recall any statements out of them.

I mean, I'd believe it if there were technical issues but some of the ones people bring up don't seem like massive obstacles. Don't downloadable Wii games on the WiiU function similarly, with an actual Wii chip taking over the system and turning off some console functions?

That's right, but the Wii at least natively had a Home menu. The GBA hardware in the original DS was designed to just run the cartridge from a slot, and then turn off when done so there's at least some work to be done to make it able to call out to the operating system properly.

I read for a few weeks before release about the new 3ds coming out, I hadn't bought a nintendo item since the first wii, I forgot that there always seems to be a shortage of nintendos latest hardware on release day, so on Wednesday, 5 days after release, I looked at the closest Target and Best Buy stores, definitely all sold out. Today, looked at Target's website after work, found out they had some red ones in stock at the San Rafael store in California, went there straight after work and found they one last red one sitting in the case, found the closest electronics guy and said i'd take it, picked up a copy of Pokemon too, Monster Hunter out of stock, guy at register said they only had 2 copies since release WTF. Of course I just realized the DSi charger works for it, but not my old DS, guess it's off to Target to grab the charger and check for Monster Hunter.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
I was out of country on launch day so I've been waiting for my local Gamestop to get more N3DSes in. What do I need to bring to the store in order to do a system transfer? Does the system transfer include saved games? Should I just buy an N3DS from Wal-Mart, do all the transfer stuff at home, and sell my Link Between Worlds XL on Craigslist?

The System Transfer is everything on the console itself, not the SD card. You'll get a prompt to make that switch during the process. If you haven't done so already, replace the SD card in your current 3DS with a micro-SD card. Most come with an adapter for full-size SD slots, and you can just copy/paste the SD card contents onto your PC and then onto the new micro-SD card before slotting it back into your console.
