Yeah, I just researched it. I didn't realize it retailed for the same as the normal system. So people are paying $200+ for some paint.

The system itself is $200 though. The MM system doesn't cost extra or anything unless you're buying from scalpers.

Well I was assuming most of us had a Pi by now. But, it's $60 bucks for unlimited street passes. Also you get a Pi out of it to do 1,000,000 other things with.

Also, its the least complicated thing ever. Copy files to SD Card, plug SD card in -> Unlimited StreetPasses.

I would advise caution if you have some wrist issues with large hands and are thinking about picking up MH4U. I would definitely look into picking up an attachable grip like this. When playing MH4U naked, I notice that my wrist start getting cranky if I play for a long time. And I have a tendency to flare up my tendonitis every now and then. So take that as you will.

I have small hands and games that require the stylus like Ace Attorney really hurt my wrists trying to balance the XL and play. However, the grip seems a bit excessive as I just learn the button shortcuts after a while to avoid stylus play. I'm watching this and yeah monster hunter seems pretty cool. I liked the demo and I enjoy cats.

I'm kinda considering this since I always wanted a Pi to stream plex to a SD TV. This would give me two good reasons to get one.

There's no image yet for the rPi2, and the B+ requires a small tweak right now. Get the B. Or wait a week until he releases a working image with/for the Pi2.

It isn't really the stylus use, but rather you will be using the L and R buttons a lot. I don't know maybe I am holding my system wrong or something. Either way I think the grip is going to be awesome.

Someone wanted pictures of a Decalgirl skin on a New 3DS, so here you go.

I generally botched this. My plan was to trim the decals so they did not cover any part of the hinge (the matte plastic parts, basically.) Thankfully, the backside decal is already cut in this fashion. I was too lazy to stop at a hobby store on my way home from school and buy a balsa wood razor, so I tried using a regular double-sided razor refill from my bathroom.

Yeah these things are beyond paper thin (the razor, not the decal,) bend really easily, and I basically hosed it up a little bit by carving a very unstraight line across the top. It's nearly invisible in the picture, but in person, on a scale from 1 to 10 (where 1 is "completely unnoticeable" and 10 is "glued case cutouts onto the top of my N3DS to store game cartridges") it's about a 4. It just looks like a light scratch, thankfully. I use awesome razor blades and cut myself in the process, suffering for fashion as it were.



The back I hosed up a lil just by removing it halfway on and reapplying it, which the instructions tell you pretty much not to do, since it may stretch the decal. I stretched it a little bit, but the only place where it's noticeable is along the bottom -- who cares.



However it now feels way better in the hand compared to that awful glossy slick poo poo Nintendo made the N3DS shell out of. However, instead of being a fingerprint (and grime) magnet, it's now a skin oil magnet (I got the matte finish.) You can already see the oil on the backside decal, from where I picked the drat thing up one time and brought it into my room to take this picture.

The overall quality of the decal itself is great, but the print could be a smidge better. Of course, this could be the fault of the guy who created this skin, but if you look really closely (in person,) the Hylian crest is ever so slightly blurry.

It's also not a 1:1 copy of the real faceplate. The creator cleverly (or forcibly) made the "text" below the emblem wider than it is on the faceplate in using a custom Hylian font in Photoshop, but literally no one will notice this ever.

Cool so people were freaking the hell out over a decal on a new system. I thought the game came with it so I at least understood why people would want it (to save $40) but it was just over a gold system, once again.

Yep... I don't feel like any amount of leveling is going to make a huge difference. It feels like it might be near impossible without spending 9k gold on removing a pokemon. I guess I'm going to blow my gold and try it.

That's because you forgot to turn off the touch panel on the back. That thing's a magnet that catches things going through.

I hope they synchronize the two platforms and the home console is basically a docking station that lets you play big screen versions of games. Because what I'm learning is that portability is really great for Monster Hunter but so is playing it on a big screen with a real controller.

The next Nintendo platform will unify the handheld and home consoles into one thing, like a mix between a Wii U/3DS/Vita. You'll be able to play all games at home on a television or on the controller's 720p screen. The internet capabilities will still be lacking, and there will be no voice chat.

It will launch with Mario Kart 9, Pokemon Black The Third and a $5 port of the original Super Mario Bros. on the new and improved eShop.

It will be called the Wii 3, for some reason.

e: No 3D.
