Apparently places got a huge shipment of them yesterday, so there's a chance there's about 5 or 6 sitting in your local Walmart.

Oh poo poo, I didn't know that. I was gonna try to hold out for a Majora's Mask one popping up somewhere, but gently caress it, I've waited long enough. Thanks!

Speaking of things to jam into the game slot: If I plan to basically never buy a physical game, is there a thing I can buy to plug that hole that's made for the NN3DSXL?

I mean I could jam some white bread in there I guess.

Real talk buy a supercard dstwo, load some awesome ds games on there and never look back. If I didn't have physical carts, it's what I'd do.

The main draw of a DSTWO for someone with a new 3DS is the ability to play SNES and GBA games, I'd imagine. I want one solely to play All-Stars and Earthbound on the go.

No, WPA is fine. WEP is garbage and the fact that the original DS only supported it was a massive joke.

Does it support WPA2 with AES? Because right now it is giving me an error saying that the security settings isn't supported.

Yes, the n3DS works with WPA2 with AES. It does not support TKIP.

However, it will not connect to my Verizon Hotspot (Galaxy Note 3) It doesn't matter if I'm running WPA2 or even an open network, the n3DS can see it, but it can't connect to the internet. I've never had this issue with any other device. It works fine on PS4 and XBONE.

A $5 eShop game called Excave came out yesterday. It's basically an action roguelike, surprisingly good looking/fun.

You can't really defend ripping your own cards for convenience/bag space when 90% of things are on the eShop (around zero percent for the Old DS) and there's no 3DS homebrew.

I left all my old DS poo poo back at home and I'd love to have it all in one place, but this Supercard seems like the only possible answer considering DS is non-existent on the eShop. I just want to play Dragon Quest games before DQ Heroes comes out :(

You could be using the Gateway to buy imported games and ripping them to play on your 3DS. And then there are 3DS emulators.

Discovered a cool new feature today. If I open the screen all the way or shake my N3DS,...it turns off.

Use a Gateway, setup EMUNAND and then reboot into EMUNAND. Will be on 9.5 while you're system is still on the older version and let you do the transfer.

I bought the 3DS because the whimsical games are really what I want a console for.

See, I won't have access to my PC for at least a few months, and I was thinking of getting the New 3DS cause everyone is raving about it being a great console, but I'm not into "whimsical" games and I'm scared that it might be a bad purchase for me.

I can a see a few 3ds games that might interest me (platforming Mario games, Mario Golf, maybe Kid Icarus) but I mostly play Shooting Games, Sports Games, Racing Games, online Survival type games and Arcade/Twitch games usually.

Would the 3ds be worth it for someone that has no interest in Zelda, Monster Hunter, Pokemon or any of the bonafide "must have" games on the system? I'd consider myself a very casual gamer, I don't tend to play for more than a couple of hours at a time/per day

Listen, there's nothing wrong with those games, I just don't find them fun. I owned every single Nintendo handheld until the flip gba, but then I grew up, got less into gaming and now I just enjoy mindless garbage that passes the time when I'm bored. I feel bad cause I miss the Big N, but it seems as though the world of gaming has just passed me by :(

Spend your money on like 12 bottles of Mountain Dew and some Doritos

But honestly, probably not. You like games made for people who like the same type of game and Nintendo games are for fun™

Vita has some bad shooters, and rogue legacy, binding of Isaac, and crap like that. Might be a better fit for your bad game tastes. More bro console then 3ds despite it also being super anime. But honestly no handheld seems like a good choice based on your preferences.

How's fire Emblem strike you? It's mission based and can be as light or heavy strategy as you want. Might be the one thing 3ds has for you.

I recently bought a Nintendo Club code for a game off of eBay. The seller sent me the code and it asking me to promptly leave positive feedback after I've downloaded it. I decided to check his feedback and the majority of the positive feedback is from people who also bought Nintendo Club codes. Any chance this seller is using not-so-legit coins to get these codes?
