IRC there hasn't been a streetpass update since firmware 8.x

I set up HomePass on my Windows laptop which was surprisingly easy. I thought it required a dd-wrt router or something. Nope! Now I'm racking up those street/spot passes. Gotta finish some 3D puzzles.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Mirror fate.

Worth my time or massive piece of poo poo? Reviews seem to be mixed. Loves me some Castlevania, but hate lovely games.

If you go into it with absolutely no expectations you might be able to find it to be okay.

Don't play it on the 3DS, though. And certainly don't play the 3DS demo, the demo is atrocious and runs worse than the real game.

I have 780 club nintendo points, a 3DS, and a WiiU. I already have Wonderful 101 so what should I get? Are there any stand out games?

Look on the bright side.



Mario 3D Land and Donkey Kong Country Returns are two other great choices.

Game and Wario is also a good one if you want a fun multiplayer Wii U game that doesn't require more then one game pad.

Only I renamed the supplied .txt file as a .bat file and ran it with an admin command prompt.

If you own a Raspberry Pi there's something called SpillPass, which gets the occasional update:

Apple ear pods are pretty great, they'll run you about $30 usually but I think you can get them on sale from Amazon for $20 sometimes.

The best ear buds you can get that are under 8 bucks:

Bought Phoenix Wright Trilogy on the eshop but just discovered that it's much cheaper on iOS. Same for the 3DS game, which I will keep in mind if I'm not burnt out on the series after finishing these games.

Trilogy on iOS is actually a really bad port. The 3DS version is supposedly much much better.

At least the alignment is proper on yours. I saw a picture of one where the graphic was clearly at least a centimeter off to one side. Talk about something you'd never be able to un-see.

I don't think it's shallow, but rather you don't get very much put of a single play session. There's a lot to do and see and find, but you're meant to play a little bit at a time and there's only so much the game will let you do in a day, like Nintendogs. It's basically Nintenpeople.

Though, if you don't care much about who the characters are or creating your own story, then you can still get a lot out of screenshots/let's plays, I agree.

I ended up not going back to WalMart last night.

But today I saw that Toys R Us price matches fredmeyer.

I can confirm you can get Smash for $20 at TRU right now. Just bring the fred meyer link in.

Also picked up their last copy of Golf for $10. So $70 of games for $30. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Now I have a feeling I will have to buy some amiibo.

On TRU website it states that they price match fred meyer.

I couldn't find a caveat against it and they didn't question it. I just showed them price on my phone and they were fine with it.

Just occured to me I could have picked up those pokegames, too. Maybe I'll wander back.

Are there any tycoon or building games on the 3ds? I'm looking at rollercoaster tycoon 3d but from the looks of it they should have just ported over the original. Thinking about the original has me wanting to build things.

Ahh whoops. Oh well.

In other news, just got my decalgirl skin in. Have to say that the matte is a whole lot nicer to grip on to. Did not really like how the inside skin looked, so just opted to put the outside skin on.

Natsume is localising an A-Train game right now, it should be out soon.

Other than that, you're basically looking at DS games. There are a couple Sim City games that look like shovelware but aren't (one of them is a reskinned SC3000), and a Theme Park remake that I haven't played but is apparently pretty okay. There are also some surprisingly good adaptations of Anno for DS (not that they're tycoon games, but I guess they're vaguely similar), and Japan got a remake of Sim Tower/The Tower.

Japanese is a strange language and has a lot of weird quirks. Pronunciation and phonetics are a couple of them.
