The 3D on the New 3DS is really game changing. It used to give me horrible eyestrain to have the 3D on for more than 10 mins. With the New, I can have the 3D on as much as I drat want. It's way more comfortable.

This. Also in stuff like MH4 it makes it easier to gauge distances for projectiles. The 3D in StarFox 64 is amazing, as well.

Probably the two games that have made the best use of it are ALBW and 3D Land, though... the 3D completely changes some areas in ALBW, particularly that rock mine on Death Mountain.

The ports of 20+ year old Sega Super Scalar games legitimately make the best use of the 3D.

Same, except for in Pokemon because the 3D in Pokemon sucks poo poo, but that's because the Pokemon company can't code for poo poo.

Another game that doesn't get enough credit for looking really good in 3D is re:revelations. They even let you crank the 3D up beyond what the slider does

Awesome!

I thought the 3D in MM was pretty bad, honestly. When it worked it was real nice, but more often than not it killed the framerate in a way that Ocarina 3D didn't so I stopped using it. You can test it yourself, go find a rock in Termina Field or something and blow it up with a bomb. There's a pretty obvious frame drop with 3D on that isn't there when it's off.

I read somewhere that the reason the Pokemon games perform like poo poo with the 3D on is that the Pokemon models used in battle scenes are actually really highly detailed so they'll hold up for a while. It takes a long time to model 700 creatures so they want to be able to reuse them for higher-definition games.

They did, it still gets jacked up momentarily under certain lighting conditions though. They've released a few updates that have genuinely improved things.

The difference in usability between the new and old 3DS is huge, for me it went from a borderline unusable gimmick to a completely tolerable gimmick.

You can just turn off the stabilization and then it's the same as the old one.

It is now yes, the 3DS is 4 1/2 years old though.

The 4th gen iPod Touch is a year older and was cheaper than the launch 3DS. It also had a retina display. Looking at an 800x240 display in TYOOL 2015, halved to 400x240 with the 3D effect on, is like having Luigi skullfuck your eyesockets. There are tons of awesome 3DS games, but goddamn is it ugly.

Weighing in on the 3D issue, Yokai Watch was the first game that made me feel like I really enjoyed seeing it in 3D. The attack effects during the special attacks especially looked pretty nice. One thing Level 5 knows how to do well is make things look pretty (too bad their monster design is crap).

Shovel Knight is actually pretty drat great with 3D, too. Particularly the Trouple King's dances... they go from being cute to "holy poo poo." The attention to details with the 3D in it is great... they even upped the bar for Plague of Shadows.

I'm thinking of picking up a New 3DS XL (or whatever it's called) soon, and I'd like to know if it's possible to transfer the NNID and all that stuff from my old 3DS to the new one without having to buy other equipment and/or sending it to Nintendo.

Yeah, you can do it all on your own but you can only transfer locally with both systems present, so don't get rid of your old system until you have your new one.

I was thinking about getting the one with the amiibo shipped over to my house. However, I probably won't have a chance to really dig into it until the weekend if you wanted a review or something. Although, I hope it's long enough to really warrant a purchase. Like Triple Deluxe was really good, but it had all those extra modes and everything. In general, I've always liked the chibi robo series for its charm, but I'm not sure how much of that is going to be communicated in a straight forward platformer. Still, there's some trophies or something with various costumes it seems you can stick chibi robo into and I love platformers. Should be dense enough. I've never really had an issue with value with a nintendo game, but full priced platformers are a pretty hard sell to most people these days. (saying that is probably gonna get someone to remind me of something though)

Well sure, the game is only 30 bucks, but nintendo sold kirby for 35 bucks. Although, now that you got me looking at the list, nintendo does price their weirder titles at 30. like PaD Mario, NES Remix (on 3ds), and Mario Golf. Maybe Mario 3d Land as well, can't tell if that was discounted down to 30 or not.

Could go either way I guess.

I was excited for the new Chibi-Robo game when it looked like it might be a cool Umihara Kawase-style swinging game but the more they show/talk about it the more it seems like it's a laid-back collectathon game that doesn't really demand much in terms of platforming/action.

One Nation, Under God.
The AU/NZ release of Yokai Watch got pushed forward to December 5, which usually wouldn't be worth mentioning if not for the fact that the EU release is still "2016", so PAL people will probably be able to be able to import the AU version if they really want to play it early.

After not enjoying it as much on the WiiU, I re-purchased Shovel Knight on the 3DS, and I gotta say it is the superior experience. It feels so much more responsive and proper. The WiiU version always felt muddy to me, but this plays great!
