Any goon favorites for a case of some kind?

I splurged a bit and bought this one:

Looks ridiculously nice, though. Otherwise the hori dura flex seems to be a popular option.

I have this one because it's cute and I, too, am cute. Also it has two pockets - one for the 3DS XL itself, and one that can easily fit one of these game cases and a USB charge cable.

I'm finding it hard to locate a new (small) 3ds case, it seems like nobody has made any yet. I have my eye this one but it doesn't come out until March 6th.

Being serious both the Vita and 3DS are great systems. Although, this comes with the caveat that you enjoy all the niche weeaboo games that come out on Vita. I personally like and enjoy stupid poo poo like Neptunia, Conception 2, and Akiba's Trip. I'm actually bummed because my Hyperdevotion Noire LE was supposed to show up today and it didn't. I'm assuming it'll be here Monday with my htoL#NiQ LE. So ymmv on how useful or fun the vita is for you.

I already feel embarrassed by the amount of anime poo poo on the 3DS so if I could vote to make the vita illegal I would.

Also if I never played the original Majora's Mask would I love the remake? I'm guessing everyone complaining is just being a nerd and reminding us all they liked a dark purple game about being dead or whatever even way back when they were 11.

Yes, you'll like the Majora's Mask remake, unless you just plain wouldn't like Majora's Mask anyway. It has a lot of improvements and the bulk of the complaints are "it's different" rather than "it's worse."

Let me put it this way; Missing a ring in the 3D version is something you might actually recover from. Missing one in the N64 version is a complete race-ender because you'll spend far too much time trying to circle around into the one you missed.

And no, no it didn't.

There is a scene in the first season where he is literally playing Call of Duty as well. So his role in Advanced Warfare is extra ironic or something. Also he doesn't say he HAS a Vita, he says he has "a system at home" and that he should get a Vita "for car rides". :v:

IIRC Sony gave them a poo poo ton of money for product placement, but in the script there were always scenes where Frank is playing a video game so it's OK. The "is that a PS Vita?" line is the only time it's really cringeworthy and obvious. I'm pretty sure he never actually says he has a PlayStation 3(tm) and I just rewatched the first two seasons. There's just a couple times he plays one and you can see it's obviously a PS3 controller.

I just hope there's an upcoming scene where he slowly strangles someone to death over an Amiibo.

Navigating the OS and launching games is so much faster on the n3DS than the Vita. It's easier to pick up and go on the 3DS than the Vita. Subjectively, I'd say 3DS has more good games. You can't get anything like *.Mario.* games, Phoenix Wright, or other Nintendo classics on Vita. There's no substitute. I just sold this Vita for $270 on eBay: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3699474

If you've got a large amount of disposable income, you shouldn't waste your time asking for advice on which console to buy. It costs $400 for both. I've spent that much on drinks and sushi in a single date. Only poors buy and stick to one console. [Disclosure: Am currently a poor, awaiting visit from job fairy.] Buy both and you can enjoy Hotline Miami AND Super Mario 3D Land; Killzone Mercenary AND Monster Hunter 4; Persona 4 AND Bravely Default.

I actually kind of think calling it the New 3DS is a bit of marketing genius, the point of which is getting people to talk about literally "the new 3ds" to which someone will respond "but that's old" etc. It's a much better name than Wii U for example.

If Wii U was called the New Gamecube people would at least have known it was a new system.

On the other hand it doesn't give any indication as to what new features it offers or if it's just a Gameboy Pocket kind of thing, and also when googling it you'll find a bunch of results for a brand new "old" 3ds.

I just realized that it's very likely Nintendo went with "New" 3DS because of the confusion caused by naming the successor to the Wii the Wii U. We need a name that says, this is NOT just an accessory for the 3DS! It's an all new vers-- got it! Good job, Nintendo.

You can turn on a dime underwater. You just have to stop for a second and you can swim around like you were on the surface. They give you enough time that stopping for a second won't screw you over. Also if you just use L to fix the camera it should follow you. The second you use the right thumb nipple, the camera will cease to follow you at all until you press L again. The right stick functionality definitely feels like it was hacked in at the last minute for the N3DS.
