The newer revision switch has vastly improved battery life too.

There is still one possible physical 3DS game coming out, but there hasn't been any news since last year's E3.  quote:Limited Run Games will release a limited run physical Atooi Collection for 3DS via the Limited Run Games online store, the company announced during its E3 2019 press conference. A release date was not announced. I tweeted at Atooi's official account asking if this was still in the works but got no answer.

Well, I got a reply. https://twitter.com/barry_bonsai/status/1235225777102360582?s=19 There will be at least one more physical 3DS release.

If I wanted to play New Leaf, does it matter if I buy the original, the Nintendo Select, or the Select Welcome Amiibo? Or will I just be prompted for an update if I purchase the original?

There's a big Atlus sale going on the EU eshop. Rather quietly, though, doesn't seem to have been announced or advertised anywhere. In particular, Radiant Historia (which I just bought) and SMT4:A are both only 6€.

One of the used games I recently picked up from GameStop, and seemingly only this cart, thinks it's been ejected if the cart is bumped even slightly, which is problematic for an RPG. Has anyone had a similar issue / knows anything that could help with it?

These push guards are made to prevent the 3DS cartridge from ejecting when in your pocket. It might help. Looks pricey since they haven't been in production for a few years now.

That's a pretty weird problem to have. I'd probably be a bit unhappy to have a cart like that, but since the 3DS is effectively EOL I would also just homebrew it (which you should do anyways) and use GodMode9 to dump the cartridge to a .cia, then use FBI to install the .cia to your SD card. If you have any saves on the cartridge you care about, you can use Checkpoint to backup the saves from cartridge and install them on your SD card as well. All three of those utilities are installed if you follow the homebrew guide. As a general point, while Nintendo hasn't said anything about the 3DS or Wii U eShop closures, I expect them to happen some day. Also, titles are being delisted from those shops now, including some DSiWare. Meanwhile the homebrew methods are mature are will eventually become necessary to safeguard and preserve your collection.

It's just the one game too. I took a Q-Tip and some rubbing alcohol to the pins to no avail, but I'm not entirely sure I reached them. I was always planning on CFWing but just haven't had cause to yet.SeANMcBAY posted:Homebrew it and install games to an sd card. Somehow I missed that this was a thing you could do with a homebrewed 3ds. But the game in question is a Pokemon game and there's a non-zero chance I'll want to connect to Pokemon bank at some point, and having it installed to an SD card feels like the kind of thing they'd catch. Is it? And is there any way to get the save back on the original cartridge?

I can't definitely answer that, but Pokémon hacking is pretty common and a cursory search shows that people don't have too much trouble getting even hacked Pokémon into the bank. Which, you're not even trying to do that, you're just use a legitimate copy of Pokémon that was installed via homebrew. Yes, you can use Checkpoint to restore a save to cartridge.

Wii/DS online only ended because they were running on Gamespy servers. I can see Wii U/3DS lasting a long time. They only ended selling games on Wii a year or two ago. PS3's PSN is still up and PS5 is right around the corner.

PS3's PSN is still up and PS5 is right around the corner. Something to be aware of is that, at least in the case of Sony, there aren't any "PS3/PSP/Vita servers" sitting off in their own room somewhere away from the others. It's all the same infrastructure and networking, there's nothing to actually "turn off". The closest to it is the cloud storage holding the actual game installers, and there's zero reason to wipe those.

Running the Wii U/3DS eShop isn't done for charity. Nintendo will close them when the costs of maintaining them outweighs the revenue they bring in. Even if they don't run on dedicated servers, there's still a clear allotment of cloud infrastructure and CDN traffic that's billed under Wii U and 3DS platform support, so they know exactly how much those cost to maintain. There's other forcing functions like changes in commerce or privacy laws requiring changes to the shop itself, and Nintendo deciding it's better to close the shop than push out a system update. Beyond that, individual titles may delist as licensing terms expire. Maybe the current (Switch) eShop allows for redownloading of delisted titles, but I'm not sure that "the license is to the console, not to the user" approach of the Wii U/3DS works here. Sony still runs PSN for the PS3/Vita because the PS4 has no backwards compatibility and there's still OK revenue on the PS3 and Vita to make that viable. They've already discontinued PSN support for the PSP.

As long as we get a heads-up then I'm fine. I can think easy of a half-dozen 3DS games I want to buy before it's too late.

It looks like it's a solved issue for the DS families, but like the PS4 and XB1 are going to be non-functional once the servers that host the necessary downloads for disk based games go down.

I have a new 3ds (with face plates) and a 2ds. I need to pick up a new 3ds xl before they get too expensive, and then mod the 2ds for GBA games. And grab the last 6 or so 3ds games I don’t own and wish I did. They are all capable of having the batteries replaced right?

The only one that’s a bit of a hassle is the 2DS XL because you have motherboard wires to deal with and a battery sticky pad. But it’s still easy

Atlus puts their 3DS games on sale all the time, I don't check regularly anymore but it happens every couple months at a minumum. I think Nintendo will keep the 3DS servers up longer than they did for Wii/DS because it was the first system of theirs that let you buy digital copies of retail games, so the store functionality has way more value than the likes of WiiWare and DSiWare.

SeANMcBAY posted:Earthbound and Mother 3 are absolutely worth playing. Only the early game in EB is a bit grindy imo. I’ve played modern RPGs that I’ve found to be much worse in that regard. If you grind Ness up to level 12 on Sharks before you fight the first boss you will be ahead of the curve for the rest of the game, but not enough to make it not challenging.

They'll be worth maybe $10 more than release MSRP. Video games are a bad investment. The only games that'll be worth anything are games that are legit rare or weirdo games with low print runs. Zelda games are common as gently caress and most of the kids today who will be nostalgic for 3DS in a decade will flock to the hundreds of cheap opend copies of Zelda games. And who knows how much the next generation will care about physical media when grown. That said, there's plenty of weirdo DS games with low print runs and values are starting to go up. That's a fun portable to collect for. Detective No. 27 fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Mar 10, 2020 |

Word of warning if you haven't played a Mario Maker before, all of the same kinda floaty, slippery physics, they're not like the original games. I couldn't get the hang of it.
