The Kwanzaa Bot is here to protect me.


Taking advantage of some e-shop sale prices, is 25% off the best I can hope for Ace Attorney trilogy or should I hold out for a better sale at some point?
Also, are the Mighty Switch Force games better played on 3DS or Wii U? Any big differences?

25% is pretty good. And Dual Destinies is like 40%.

Cheapest I've seen them get but who knows.

The Wii U version of the first MSF has HD drawn looking graphics instead of pixel sprites and harder remixes of each level added. The second one is the same on both consoles.

Did anybody post this yet? Someone figured out how to exploit spot pass to get special Miis

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKjWBJK84PM

1) Open Mii Plaza
2) Go to "Settings"
3) Deactivate Street Pass, which will also deactivate Spot Pass
4) Go to your Special Mii and delete them
5) Hit the home button and close out of Mii Plaza completely
6) Open Mii Plaza again
7) Open Settings. Activate Street Pass, and then activate Spot Pass as well.
8) Hit the Home Button, and the Blue Light should go on with a Spot Pass Notification
9) Open notifications, launch software for Mii Plaza
10) Special Mii will show up again as if it's their first time in the Plaza.

For anyone who has code name steam and the fire emblem amiibos, do you only have to scan them once to play as them, or every time you start the game? I know if they die you have to rescan them but othwrwise, do you always have access to them? I don't have a new 3ds and I want to use my friend's n3ds to scan Ike into the game.

I have the Ocarina cart but I'm actually playing through it right now

On my Gold Zelda 3DS :smug:

I'm confused at the high prices though, especially since there's an eshop version. If I had a local buyer lined up for it I would probably buy the eshop version, use the save transfer tool and sell the game honestly. I would rather have 2 new digital games than an old cart.

Also when I go on trips I never bring carts with me at this point, it would be nice to have the cart slot taken up by something that you can't get online like a DS game.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:

If it matters it's only been a single mission that it's been as cramped as that. A lot of your units have a mortar of some kind or deal with explosives but the maps usually take that into consideration. That particular map didn't and was just garbage.

Right but in general people are just not liking the game very much.

I wonder if this means we'll go back to Advance Wars.

Digital doesn't really affect cart prices, surprisingly. You can get Earthbound on Wii U, but its price is $200 now, higher than ever.

Digital versions are only as good as long as the store's online. Carts last forever.

No, you see you might find that box someday, on your dashboard, the carts warped in the sun and you will have no recourse and

Really though, the real appeal of physical cartridges is going to your local game store and digging through their backstock and finding out that they know exactly what a cart is worth because it's really easy to price that out, so you don't walk away with any steals because most of them have eBay stores anyway.

Another reason for the high price of OoT3d is that it is the game that the gateway 3ds uses to work on the new 3ds so the price is being cubic ninja'd.

I scanned Marth and Ike and haven't used them yet and they're always there on the menu now. Normally you have 3 rows of characters (12 total in game) but when you scan one of them a fourth row gets added just for them.

Marth sounds like a ultra ninny so it's great.

The guys that make the Gateway flash card recently put out their first update that supports the New 3DS's that requires the cart for an exploit. The previous exploit for the older systems was for Cubic Ninja which prompted Nintendo to remove the game from the eShop and drive up the price of the physical cart up for its use.

Some exploits use OoT. Others use a game called Cubic Ninja. People buying OoT in order to crack the system are driving up the price of the game. "Cubic Ninja" is being used as a verb because people do that now for some reason, assuming it makes more sense than using existing words to describe the effect of system cracks on market prices.

Is there a Nintendo Store Online thread or some poo poo?

I ordered the cradle on the 9th.
Got a shipping notification on the 12th, but it says "Status: AWAITING_SHIPPING" even though the email says it shipped.
Called Nintendo on the 15th, the guy said it hadn't shipped at all.

Is it normal for it to take this long to ship a package?

If they keep giving me Nier music, they can keep adding to the money pit that is Curtain Call.

That said I thought the "second performance" was done, the last wave of songs was titled "the crescendo" in the system notification. Any word on how long they're gonna keep cranking out tunes?

Did Nintendo kill the eShop games giving coins? I tried the demo that apparently gives 15 coins, and have yet to get any survey 3 weeks later. :(

I should have been more clear I guess. I figured they killed the free game stuff, but I was more curious if I could just buy a cheap older game off the eShop and still get the 10 coins from an eShop purchase, which it appears most people are saying works.

I'll probably just finally pick up Crashmo, since I never ended up picking it up.

I checked the price history on OOT and it has nothing to do with the warez (announced last week) and all to do with the fact that it went out of print mid-December. The prices have been fairly stable since February.
