Ooh I wonder if they'll knock 20% off of it via the Gamercard thing.

They do! Although it's the last thing to be applied (sale price applies first), so it'd be $6 off instead of $8.

I went to a Toys R Us not too long ago and I saw a copy of Xenoblade Chronicles 3D at $20 because it was an opened return. I assume they did it because the person buying it didn't have a New 3DS. I'd check around your Toys R Us's to see if this is a common thing.

Best but sale lasts through Saturday, but I dunno if they're closed for the fourth. I'm getting it tomorrow, and yes it's $24 after GCU.

So, I am totally digging the streetpass stuff. Probably old hat for most of you in here, but I just went out to a birthday dinner and had 7 people visit and got stupid giddy about it.

I saw that rabbit mention something about a game bundle, but I can't find it on the eshop (or anything I'm looking for it seems - that place is a mess). Any tips on what to search for?

You buy it directly from the streetpass app next to the other games.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D is on sale for $30, were there any problems with it (re: being a console port to a portable system)? Kinda wanna pick it up and see what all the fuss is about. Need something to play on my New 3DS that'll tide me over until Youkai Watch comes out.

I was considering picking up that Xeno game with the new 3DS. I'm not a huge RPG head but definitely enjoy stuff like Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy, Tactics, Star Wars RPGs, etc. I hated Final Fantasy 13. Is this game for me?

Yes.

(depending on what you hated about Final Fantasy 13, there's like a 1-in-20 chance that the specific thing you hated may show up in Xeno3DS, cause they're both JRPG's)

Xenoblade is a lot more like FF12 than FF13 although as a personal preference I will always prefer how FF12 did it and I know no one agrees

Got a Nu3DS finally, and I'm super impressed with how well it handles the suspend mode. My previous one of these was DS Lite, and it would run the battery down within hours if you didn't shut it off completely. This one seems more like the PSP in that you can leave it in sleep mode almost indefinitely.

Try talking to the salesrabbit about one of the games, then ask it about the price. You should get offered the bundle at that point from what I remember if it's the first series of streetpass games. If it's the second series (the fishing and zombie ones), I had tell it that I wanted to buy the games and then I got offered the newest pair of games together at a loyalty discount. Hope that's helpful!

I agree! The combat system is why I quit Xenoblade. I just couldn't get into it, and I gave it about 30 hours of a chance. Meanwhile I loved FF12.

It uses the wifi and does other stuff in sleep mode, so you can leave it for like a week, tops, but yeah, it is better than the DS in that regard

I don't know what was wrong with your DS's, but I distinctly recall closing the lid halfway through a round of Tetris DS, leaving the system in my purse for three days, and then finishing the round of Tetris afterwards.

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.
Yeah I dunno what kinda DSes you had, but I can leave my DS lite in sleep mode for weeks. The 3DS manages maybe two days with Streetpass on.

$33.45 and $22.25 AUD respectively. Vooks.net is a good source for checking when eShop sales occur in Australia and what the discounts are.

I wouldn't say that's the case, in my experience with wifi enabled and no games running in sleep mode I got about 3 days before the system turned off from a full charge.

Edit: Just remembered that was my 2DS, haven't tested my N3DSXL.

Keeping wireless on might be a factor, I have mine off at all times because I'm basically in a Streetpass desert.

Yeah I'm testing it with wireless off. Two days, charge indicator still at full!
Also I just realized the reason the top half looks so "industrial" is because you're supposed to put faceplates on. Without them it looks like some miniature military laptop or something, love it.

Thanks for explaining that, I wasn't going far enough in the sale before backing out.

Man, so whoever suggested those DecalGirl skins, thank you AND gently caress you. That was some intense, painstaking decal action (and gently caress that top screen decal), but it looks beautiful now. Plus it had the added bonus of giving the system some grip since I got a matte decal.
