I've based my major life decisions on the clout of SA Forums members for the last 15 years. My life is chaos.

Also that mayo dude was definitely not joking. Looks like he deleted his account out of shame. Hopefully he got the answers he needed.

The protector on my top screen has noticeable marks from being pressed against the rim of the bottom screen so that's still a thing even on N3DS. No idea if it would affect the bare screen or not though.

Screen protector is a good idea because of the stylus

Also I'm not sure it's a problem with the n3ds but the older models have an issue with the screens getting scratched when shut because of the parts rubbing against each other

Somehow I scratched my TOP screen rubbing dust off of it. I've learned to live with it because it's like $80 to get out fixed according to Nintendo's site, but it's annoying having it right off center of the screen.

Even worse because I had just bought screen protectors and was just being lazy about applying them.

I both own and played through TWEWY and the only time my DS' bottom screen got scratched was because I lent it to my brother.

i do have one on the bottom screen just for peace of mind during intense scratching but i dont think its really necessary on the top if you are careful with your poo poo. if you like to throw your 3ds in a bag and it maybe gets squished a little then you might want to think about it

My N3DS rubs itself just by being closed. This is like my 4th or 5th 3DS and it's the first one to do this. Some part of the bottom casing is warped in some indistinguishable way that makes the bottom screen's bezel touch the top screen. Or maybe the hinge is crooked or something, I can't figure it out.

:h::h::h:Alhamdulillah-chan:h::h::h:
:shrug: after like four years or so there are maybe some tiny marks on the top screen of my xl. They're also entirely unnoticeable unless the screen is off, and I cannot possibly understand why you would be looking at a 3ds that has been switched off.

It's a relatively inexpensive game system made for children, it isn't going to turn to dust if you don't cover it in skins and protective cases and screen protectors. Also, TWEWY aside, you probably aren't going to carve gouges into the bottom screen unless you have absolutely no control over how much pressure you use with pens. That's like insisting people stock up on thumbsticks because certain people can't not snap them off like some sort of monster.

Golden Sun and Mario Tennis are both developed by Camelot, aren't they? Probably the same composer and that's just his style.

I thought that too, but he actually did the (excellent) music in all of the Dark Souls games, so clearly he's still able to do good music, he just chooses not to for things like recent Tales games? Or he legitimately likes orchestral soup that all sounds the same

I'd point and laugh with you all at this, but at this point all I don't have is a small N3DS :shepface:.

The 3DS, 3DSXL, and N3DSXL were straight upgrades from the previous one, the 2DS is my travel console because the others are fancy special editions.

Pokemon Go kind of made me nostalgic for the days when I played tons of games on my ds lite. So I went out and bought a 3ds xl and loaded up alpha sapphire. I'm making a list of other games to buy and was hoping for some advice since I don't think I should probably ration my spending. I think I'll just buy two more games for now.

I want a fire emblem game. I have extremely fond memories of playing fire emblem games on my ds lite. I am leaning toward starting with Awakenings.

I certainly want a Zelda game.

I will probably pick up a monster hunter game probably generations.

Are there any rpgs that are must haves?

Which Etrian Odyssey if any should I get I enjoyed playing that on my ds.

For Zelda definitely get A Link Between Worlds.

The definitive versions of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are also on 3DS and great choices.

Start with awakening and then get fates: conquest when you finish it. I wouldn't really bother with the other fates versions, but that's up to you.

For zelda:

But the eshop edition of a link to the past is also the definitive version of that game!
