Playing Triforce Heroes made me want to play Zela again. So now I'm playing Minish Cap after years having it just seat there on my 3DS.

Minish Cap is in my top three 2-D Zeldas. It edged Link's Awakening off that list.

Minish Cap... on 3DS? Was that one of those Ambassador games or something? I thought GBA games were only on Wii U VC.

Playing Triforce Heroes with my kids made them want to finish Four Swords with me, which in turn made my 6 year old want to play and complete the original Zelda I got for him on VC so I'd buy him Link's Awakening. He might get there once he learns not to walk directly into enemies and their projectiles, so I guess I'll be buying Link's Awakening sometime in 2018.

Wow, don't gently caress up in the Stella Glow demo. I overextended and it put me back an entire fight and weird tuning thing.

Demo is pretty neat, though. Anyone with thoughts on the game?

My Hyrule New 3DS showed today, too. Still a little annoyed that the logo is upside down, but it's still really sharp.

I'm gonna be buying a used 3ds at some point soon, either from amazon used or nintendo's certified pre-owned, or should I just get a New (new or used) 3ds (the "new" console, not a new old 3ds), does it make a big difference?

I can wait for a sale too I guess, but if there isn't one soon where is the best place to pick it up? I'd really only want the "new" 3ds if its a huge improvement or lots of future games require it or its worth the money or whatever, thanks!

Get the "new". It uses facial recognition to stabilize the 3D effect according to the position of your eyes. It also has a built in nub that emulates a circle pad pro. There's only like 2 games that require the new cpu, but several games see improved performance, including Majoras Mask, Smash Bros, and Monster Hunter 4.

Oh, and Jones was there too.

Get a 3DS

Somebody with actual photoshop could probably do a better job...

My 3DS is basically the only thing that got me through a severe dental abcess, waiting for the dentists to open, the fact the browser is actually useable now, due to the extra CPU, also made a difference when I couldn't be bothered to move to get my laptop and needed to look up the number.

Also it loads MH super fast and makes all my friends jealous.

Get a NEW. The old is basically a full life cycle prototype for the NEW. It is worth it.

Okay cool. Is there a good place to get it, it seems nintendo's refurbish program doesn't have NEW, otherwise i'll get a (new or used?) off amazon.

What plug type is the charger? I'll need to get one right? Does knockoff chargers matter?

It's a proprietary plug on the 3ds itself. Knockoffs are probably fine. They come in both wall socket and USB varieties

e: VVV Yeah, that, too. It's not like the charger is expensive.

Homebrew stuff has become a bit muddled when Nintendo fixed the browser/Youtube exploits, so most people are confused now on how to install the Homebrew Channel for region-free gaming, SNES emulation, or "speeding up" older 3DS games on the Nu3DS. Someone on reddit made a good flow chart to explain the current situation:

Buy the official one, if the extra $2-$3 will break the bank for you then you have bigger problems to worry about than video games.

NEWT THE MOON

Just watched this half hour vid of YoKai Watch, and I gotta say I'm liking the scale of the game a lot in terms of exploration. Battle seemed a bit more interesting. There does seem to be quite a bit more strategy in team rotation than I figured at first blush or from playing the demo. There's fusion in here, there's dungeons with areas to revisit once you level up your watch.

Did you play the demo? It doesn't feel like a Pokemon ripoff at all unless you're just seeing kid + yokais fighting and that's all. Nothing wrong with not liking it though, it's definitely not for everyone and taste is strange like that. Kinda like me not caring about TFH at all and thinking it looks incredibly dull.
