I finally found a N3DS in stock. Coming from a 3DSXL, I'm a little disappointed in the build quality. The interior plastic used feels less solid and the finish feels rougher. The speaker holes are straight drilled whereas the old holes had a nice curve to them. The gray-black looks real nice though. The exterior has a nice glossiness to it.

It looks like clicky buttons made a comeback which I really appreciate. The last time I remember clicky buttons was the OG DS. The face tracking also works reasonably well with glasses, although I was disappointed that I still get ghosting sometimes.

Overall a decent but not mind-blowing upgrade.

I love Leinster and I couldn't be happier that Jordie Barrett has signed with them on a short term deal.

Pre-orders for the faceplate are up. It comes bundled with the game for £52.

That's the quickest I've ever whippped out my wallet to pay £22 for a piece of red plastic, for a 3DS model I don't own :{

Get Ace Attorney Investigations as well, it's great. Spend a whole game as Edgeworth. It's a lot better than both Justice For All and Apollo Justice.

We only got the first one in America, right? I seem to recall there were two. Anyway good idea.

I thought about Rhythm Heaven but I just got Theatrhythm so I'm gonna hold off on that. As for Picross I don't really like puzzle games because I am a stupid person.

Elite Beat Agents was the poo poo and I can't believe that it didn't destroy my screen. Best part was when you messed up on the missing dad song and the family found out he was gay.

Did EBA have the spinny thing? The normal gameplay is not bad but the force and speed required to spin that thing in Ouendan always made me nervous.

The real screen destroyer on the DS was Harvest Moon though. My wife actually destroyed the screen protector by petting the gently caress out of that loving cow. First and only time compulsively putting screen protectors on everything has paid off.

I'm kind of disappointed at all the graphics slowdowns in DKCR. It happens during big pans in 2D, and in 3D the effect gets kind of "shuddery" a lot, even with facetracking.

Is there any way to remap the controls to be closer to what they were on SNES? I'd really prefer pound to be on a shoulder button and barrel-carry to be back in its rightful spot.

On the Wii version it took a cheat code to enable classic controls, so I'm assuming, "no."

What is the best solution for playing GBA games on the 3DS? DSTwo? I don't want to have to gently caress with firmware.

Should I just get an SP/Micro and an EZ Flash IV?

Nope, you have to beat the game normally first.

If you buy it used, hope there's a cleared game file on there.

The one annoying thing about Master Quest I'd the overworld stuff is all the same so you end up doing that twice to get those dungeons.

Well, I probably won't be buying it then unless I can get it used and know that it already has a cleared game there. I just don't have any desire to play through the normal game first.

The dstwo as been discontinued for a few months and is basically impossible to find new. A dstwo+ is supposedly coming soon, but no one really knows when or what the card will actually be capable of.

Bummer. The dungeon remixes are actually pretty fun and clever, or at least that's my 15+ year old memory of it.

Well that depends, do you think a find-replace on Switches -> Cows and time block puzzles are fun and clever? Because boy howdy did the Master Quest devs love them some time block puzzles.

In that Majora's Mask Iwata Asks thing a while back, Aonuma said something like he was kind of annoyed when Miyamoto asked him to remix the OoT dungeons because he thought they were already perfect

That and hiding switches in invisible/near invisible places. The biggest dick move I can remember is this one room where they put an invisible switch in a trapped box that freezes/damages you when you open it. At no point earlier in the game do you have to hit a treasure box to make anything happen.

Last question of the day from me, M&L Dream Team, what's the consensus on this title? $15 for price matching a Nintendo first party title is almost always a great deal. I know Sticker Star is generally regarded to be trash...

It's good and long, replay value is lacking, haven't looked back after beating. But I bet you can resell it for near or even over 15$ when you are done. Not really a risk. I regret buying it digitally.
