That's already a skin anyway. The regular N3DS only has swappable exteriors, not interiors.

I got an email back and I'm calling in the morning. The actual repair center will be closed though so who knows what the phone man/lady will be able to do. At this point I'm tempted to get a used system and have them transfer licenses. When I get the new 3ds back in a year I'll just sell it.

drat, that sucks. Would you mind reporting back what they tell you? I will probably have to do the same song and dance. PM me so it doesn't clog up the thread or maybe what you post might help someone else.

Tuck your pinky between your middle and ring fingers. Or buy a grip.

How are you holding it that you're constantly turning it off accidentally? I've never done that and I can't imagine what weird position my hand would have to be in to put my fingers near the power button.

That does look nice, but I'd much prefer an XL. Maybe if I had a regular 3DS XL I'd prefer the smaller new one, but I don't, so I don't.

Is there anyone interested in buying a cyber grip for the new non-XL 3ds? Bought one that was supposed to be for the XL but was sent a non-XL version.

I spilled tea on my 3dsxl and now the top screen is kinda bad and super purple-tinted, it's still under warranty but I imagine I'd still have to pay for a repair since, y'know, I spilled tea on it. Am I best off sending it in to Nintendo, trying to fix it myself, or just calling it quits paperboy style?

The power button is pretty much right where my finger rests against it at the bottom and it's on the curved part so it's super easy to hit it when I'm pressing down on the shoulder buttons.

It's true. I do it all the time. It's a poo poo placement for that button, and it pisses me off every time. It should have been on the top half somewhere. A major, stupid flaw.

I haven't accidently turned off my 3ds once. I think you should all get soft, delicate, girly hands like me.

I turned mine off accidentally a few times somehow but the New 3DSs button layout is much better in that regard

You think Mega Gengar is bad, just wait until the final boss.

Mega Gengar I somehow beat, only things I bought were a Moves+5 and Mega Start and that time I think I didn't even need those extra moves. Spent some time capturing most EX Pokémons, idk if they helped much when I took down Mega Gengar.

Only Pokémen I have left to catch now are Blaziken, Raikou and Xerneas and they're all cunts. loving 1% catchability rate (though with a bit of luck in the fight - that is, 4 seconds remaining at victory - I can at least get 21% catchability rate on Raikou which is good enough to just try again and again for).

I have S ranks on all the main stages, but I still need to catch Xerneas, Yvetal and Mewtwo.

The new3ds XL has a backplate that is easily replaceable and the top cover looks easy to replace too (just gotta take out the four little stickers hiding the screws). I don't see why some manufacturer can't make replacements for these for the XL. Though honestly I'd probably just buy matte black.

Again, that SNES thing is just a 3rd-party skin, not an official thing. I think the point was that it only works well with the colored buttons, which the XL doesn't have.

Are you using a bad emulator? I'm using CATSFC and I haven't run into many problems. Granted, I'm only playing All-Stars, Dream Course, Earthbound, and Link to the Past.

Woah, I didn't even know you could use a different emulator than the one built into the DSTwo.
