See, Sony were actually being clever by not releasing any games for the Vita so that they could show off just how good the battery life is while it's in sleep mode.

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.

On the other hand, try saying "New Wii" out loud

I read somewhere they actually didn't, it was officially NGC and you could even see this on its Broadway chip if you opened it up, that's just what people on the Internet started calling it.

One big question though - is the Vita using a radio while in sleep mode? Pretty sure my 3DS has gone a week with the wifi off.

Stolen by a girl, actually, and it looks like the release date for the DSiXL was about a month after I bought the replacement one.

It's really good if you like that kind of oldschool PC dungeon crawl updated with 1000% more anime.

The only thing about the game that I can truly say I hate is that it's basically required that you use more than one party (you need one for "farming") and it is just annoying.

Are the private tournaments just like the public ones in how they're played? Ok, that's pretty sweet. Is there a thread for that?

You share a code with others so they can join up. Then they have a week or whatever to get a score sent in. You can set all sorts of options like specific characters, holes, courses, items, etc.

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.

The DSiXL is the best of the old DSes. Loud speakers (way louder than even the 3DS XL) a gigantic screen while retaining the nice sharp resolution instead of that blurry mess that is the 3DS screens (yes I understand the resolution issues causing it but I am just making a point why the DSiXL owns).

I am still pissed there's no way for me to transfer Four Swords DSi back to my DSiXL.

The 3DSXL speakers are pretty tinny. The new3DSXL's, however, are goddamn amazing :allears:.

I read a few articles online saying that GameStop was giving $100 trade in credit for a 3DSXL toward a n3DSXL, but the site shows it at $70. Has anyone been able to trade their 3DSXL for $100?

I believe that was towards preordering the N3dsxl. A lot if stores were cool with you doing a system transfer then bringing it in too. Think you missed the boat.

That was a special going on before/right after release. They've dropped it to its normal trade-in value now.

It was a special promo at the n3ds launch. I don't think it's active anymore so $70 is as good as it's going to be.

This is 100% not true for EO4.

I fully completed the game with just a single party (only switching out one character when I got bored with having a Medic).

I had 3 unique parties saved, but each party was only different by 1 or 2 slots. Two full parties would have been nuts.
