I am running out of space on my microSD card (I like all my games digital, so that is why). In order to swap it with a higher capacity one, is it just a matter of buying a bigger card, then copying and pasting the files, or is there any Nintendo voodoo I need to do as well?

Yep, just copy and paste unless did some homebrew malarkey.

If you're staying on the same handheld, all you have to do is copy your old card onto the new one

No, it's just the first thing. It's easy.

As the people above me said, just copy and paste. Just make sure to copy the entire contents without altering/omitting anything, or there will be trouble.

Even if you did homebrew malarkey, just copy everything to a new card exactly as is.

I only mentioned it in case they did emunand/rednand. There are people that still do it. You can't just copy and paste that.

The only thing you might have to consider is if you're switching to a card larger than 32 gb. You'll have to format it to FAT32 beforehand if so.

Don't-own-or-want-a-Switch people, whoever you are: the Switch version of Monster Hunter XX will feature cross-play with the 3DS versions, as well as a 3DS-to-Switch save transfer function. It comes out at the end of August in Japan.

Neither version has been announced for release outside Japan so who even knows if we'll still get the 3DS version.

If they announce it's never going to be translated, you can still be a crazy person and get it since they don't region lock the switch

The chance of them not bringing it west are only slightly above zero and the chance of them not bothering with the 3DS version about the same. The Switch is new and selling well but it can't compete with the 3DS install base just yet and Capcom likes money, even if they're not very good at making it anymore.

The L button on my New 3DSXL is kind of unresponsive. I have to push it a few times to get it to register. Trying to blow into it only helps for a little while. Is this a known issue?

Wake up with the Kin-OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?!
currently on a playthrough of SMTIV (just unlocked my third/fourth terminals after delivering that one demon's head to the horsies)

god drat I forgot how many sidequests they toss at you from all directions, do I want to do some/most of them or can I safely ignore them?

also I probably won't care about what route I end up on unless there are massive gameplay differences because I have too many things to keep track of in my life, i do not wish to add a nebulous alignment system to that list

I can probably just YouTube the different endings before moving on to SMTIVA, eh?

also god this game is so drat good, SMT>persona for sure (though they are both great)

If you want to do the Neutral route, you will need to do the majority of the sidequests. If you're not bothered about a particular route, then you don't. Keep in mind that Neutral route is basically twice as long as either Law/Chaos.

that's a bit lame, is the extra content worth gunning for or can I safely youtube it away?

what a weird format, I guess they want to encourage multiple playthroughs but I hear SMTIVA is already quite samey so no thanks, not gonna play this one again immediately after

As far as I know, Neutral route is basically doing the Law and Chaos route dungeons, on top of having to complete the majority of Tokyo sidequests.

They also announced a second Kunio-kun game: River City: Rival Showdown aka Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari SP aka the River City Ransom 3DS remake that came out at the end of last year. They haven't confirmed a physical release but this one was a full retail game in Japan, unlike Knights of Justice/Nekketsu Mahou which was a smaller eShop game.

Deep Badge Bunny Lore Finally Revealed:


quote:

Since it is the last Game Corner after all, I will answer a real question.

“Are you and the Store Manager the same person?”

(Normal Mode)
Ah-!
*You are curious about that?
Well… You see…

(Store Manager Mode)
Four months after the store opened..
The Store Manager who is shy around people was worried if he could …
operate a store where troubled customers pay money to play…
“Arcade Bunny” was the fictitious personality that his distress brought into being.
Arcade Bunny has a cheerful demeanor as scripted.
When we have hard times I blame it on the Store Manager…
And now the Store Manager will never show himself…
That’s the truth of this store.

(Normal Mode)
Considering this, I’d like you to try and keep an open mind about it!

(Normal Mode)
That’s all I’m going to say about myself!

By the way this was also in that last Badge Bunny message:

Wow! From now on, probably forever-ever it will be Free Play every day!

I think we will do it until the Nintendo 3DS Network Service ends!

Come back and play here on out!

We look forward to you coming again soon!

Considering they're still pumping out games for the 3DS I don't think the Network Service will go down anytime soon. But soon is always subjective I guess.

Stupid question as I'm a idiot and couldn't find a answer.

N2DSXL is preordered and taken care of and I bought a 64GB MicroSD card for it only to remember some of them don't work, is a Sandisk Ultra SDXC UHS-I good to go or do I gotta return this thing?

It's fine. You have to reformat it to FAT32 for the 2DSXL to recognize it.

The ultimate fusion of man and machine.

You can just do it in Windows by right clicking the drive. Nintendo prefer you to use this program:

I'm interplanetary, bitch
Let's go to Mars


Attention dishwasherlove: Windows explicitly will not let you format a drive larger than 32 gigabytes to FAT32 (instead requiring ExFAT or NTFS), and SDFormatter will format it exactly how it was programmed to be formatted at the factory (which for >32GB will not be FAT32 but ExFAT).

ThisIsACoolGuy claims his MicroSD card is 64 GB.

No edition of the 3DS reads ExFAT.

Fat32Format (also available in command line) is bone simple.

Rufus is mostly used for making boot sticks but can also be tweaked to format large USB sticks and memory cards to FAT32 (mostly by unchecking bootable disk and leaving the partition scheme MBR).

Note that you only need to use these for things like SDXC cards in 3DSes or old cameras or something - so, for example, now's good.

You can't just use Windows because FAT32 only officially recognises like 4GB you need a third party programme to format anything bigger than that.

I used Street Pass during the past half-decade or so, but I can understand why a lot of people wouldn't be fond of it.

Really it only became something reliable to look forward to if you either:

- Lived in a big city a few years ago when people still regularly played their 3DS
-Went to some sort of mass media convention.
-Used the relay services once they went up in 2013.

And even then with the last one, a lot of "Normal" relays aren't functional anymore compared to 2013-2015.
