Before someone gets overzealous, isn't 32gb the biggest a Nu3DS can handle?

Oh cool, that's good to know. :)
I'm not in any risk of filling my 32gb right now, but I'll keep it in mind for the future.

Although the maximum volume size of fat32 is literally 32GB though so the only reason you would buy one larger is that you want to use it for something different later, when 32GB of data will be much less valuable probably.

Get a 32GB card and stop talking about it. The games on 3DS are tiny. Here are some sample sizes. Those all together are 20GB. Majora's Mask is 661MB.

32GB is absolutely fine unless you want to go completely digital, buy every game and refuse to ever delete any.

That's merely as large a FAT32 volume as Microsoft tools will create; this was originally to get people using NTFS for security reasons, but eventually became a way to get people using ExFAT for residuals. The fact that the SD association bought into it with SDXC is bad enough (at least you can use fat32format to fix that). The fact that YOU did without any financial incentive, and are spreading toxically wrong information in a utility thread, is loving appalling.

FAT32 is all the New 3DS speaks. FAT32 is all a ton of consumer electronics speaks. Technically it's all the bootloader for Windows speaks on computers new enough to use UEFI.

But yes, insert "you really only do need 32 GB for your 3DS" :bandwagon: reply here.

I can confirm that formatting a 64GB card as FAT32 will allow it to be seen by an n3DS, it's what I've got in mine right now. (I only had an 8GB and 64GB handy, and didn't feel like screwing more than once). Nintendo just doesn't want people to have to use 3rd party tools to format their poo poo, that's why they say 32GB is the max.

It's plastic, but the part that goes in the dock isn't the faceplate part. There's also a bit of space between the console and the dock itself.

Yeah, it's not a super snug fit or anything. It just kinda rests in there if that makes sense. If you've got a WiiU it's quite similar to the gamepad dock's snugness so there's very little chance of you scratching the surface unless you lack basic control of your hands.

A better way to describe it is that the dock is just really smooth plastic. It fits the same way as replacing a book in a bookshelf is. Honestly your biggest risk of damage is just bumping the charger dock and having it fall off.

Basically don't be a clumsy oaf and you'll be fine.

Lost my 3DS on a plane in france, got a New 3DS today back in the states and took about 5 mins to swap over my NNID even though I don't believe I ever registered the original 3DS. Def not as bad as I was expecting and... well now I wish I had bought more digital games since I lost everything :(

Yes, any attwifi ssid can be a Streetpass relay. It's based on MAC address, so as long as other people have passed it, it's valid.

You could've gotten one of the Louvre carts too and sold it for a million dollars then bought all your games again.

Rune Factory 4 is pretty much the best farm-'em-up since the PS1 and GBA. Story of Seasons promises to be good but A) it's not out yet so might as well wait for reviews and B) it'll be far more focused on the farm and animal stuff and won't really have a combat side.

Fantasy Life is almost the opposite of Harvest Moon and its successors: It's a Level-5 single-player MMO (mostly in a good way and also you can form groups of three with other players) with extensive crafting and character customization. It has no farming, negligible animal stuff and no relationship stuff. You can still HAVE pets and party members but they're mostly allies in combat that improve based on your use of them. Oh yeah, and it's cornered the market on charm.

I'm weighing the same decision maybe, and I just spent 30 minutes playing the first Rune Factory for the DS. Has the game changed a lot since this? Feels like a lot of tedium at this point.

Yes, 1 is rather tedious, 2 is a little better, but the series really came into its own with 3 and 4.

So, I have followed the Spillpass tutorial and got the same components they suggest and I still can't get it to work. Does anyone have any experience with setting one up? The guide is really simple, it literally says to just plug everything in and go so I can't figure out where I messed up. They don't say anything about renaming your router or even if having a security key is a problem so yeah, anyone have any idea?
