Detective No. 27 posted:Last week, I ordered a Japanese New 3DS from ebay which I plan on installing CFW to. But I'm also working on getting a complete 3DS library so I'm a bit of an outlier. You're absolutely not an outlier on ordering 3DS just to install cfw. It's either that, or parents looking for a cheap distraction for the kids.

RadicalTranslation posted:Been playing Hotel Dusk on my 3ds; really solid game. Recommend not taking a large gap between play sessions cause you might miss important info There’s a puzzle that involves tilting the DS so the colors on the screen get all weird and a secret message appears. I’m pretty sure this won’t work on 3DS screens since they don’t have that sucky view angle original DS had. Have you hit that puzzle yet and did it work?

I have always wondered if someone tested that puzzle in every DS, DSi and 3DS model to confirm in which ones it works. Here's one that straight up wouldn't work 100% confirmed: a 2DS, the one with no hinge.

It sucks cuz it won’t really make any logical sense like lid-closing does in those situations but at least you shouldnt be trapped?

"phoenix, there's got to be a contradiction in their testimony!" "So then I was taking a poo poo but we were out of toilet paper" OBJECTION Present > clean underwear. Sigh.

The thing with Layton vs Phoenix is the gimmick is they have 4 witnesses on the stand at once and you have to pit them against each other in addition to the evidence. I found it a bit too much.

Yeah that last case of “Layton shows up and just dumps all the answers on you and solves it for Phoenix” was such a wet fart after the buildup. Like yeah that’s how professor Layton would do it but this isn’t just his game goddamnit.

Phoenix Wright and Layton feel like franchises that should go together like peanut butter and chocolate but it doesn't quite work. Phoenix's entire shtick is a beleaguered underdog bluffing by the seat of his pants until he manages to unravel a murder, while Layton is this polite unruffled gentleman who unveils a mystery that looked supernatural but has a mundane answer 100x dumber than any Phoenix Wright murder solution*. In practise this just means Phoenix spends most of the game looking like a loser until Layton is like "BTW I solved the mystery but I'll make you fight me in court for some reason" and 1) the solution is even dumber than what you're thinking, 2) why 3) I miss Edgeworth *Spoilers for the first three Layton games:

Eeesh those endings. Good thing I had no patience to wait for the second and third games when younger because I thought the first game ending was super dumb. Good to know they didn't really improve. Anybody else going back though and catching up on 3DS games? I bought a poo poo ton of them along with retro games back in the day and am finally sitting down and actually playing them. Which means I have to face that fact that sometime in 2016 I saw Senran Kagura 2 used on a shelf at Gamestop and decided to buy it to see what all the controversy was about. I'm in part 2 of apparently 5 and I have decided that the critics were right. Ignoring the main issue of the game still leaves a pretty lovely beatemup. Any one who says they're playing this for the game play is probably lying because even Code of Princess was better than this.

Should I not be enjoying Layton vs Wright? So far, it's been good but I haven't made much progress. The first trilogy has an HD release on android thankfully and I assume Last Specter is going to get an HD re-release sometime down the road. I haven't made it very far in Curious Village though I have a few guesses as to what the ultimate mystery actually is. I got Miracle Mask but Azran Legacy physical copies are way too expensive compared to MM. I've also played and enjoyed the Phoenix Wright trilogy on steam.

Didn't realise there was an active 3DS thread in games! I bought my first 3DS (an old XL) last year and things have kinda snowballed from there. I've since bought a few 3DS (and new 2DS's) mostly to get the accompanying games, then sold the systems onward on eBay. I am long out of the emulation/CFW game and don't really want to be back in it, but getting tempted as I can't find a case that'll actually hold the system + all the carts now. At the moment I've got two new 3DS XL's (one is waiting for me to work up the nerve to attempt a full shell transplant, then being resold) and a 2DS XL that I swore I was going to sell but turned out to be too nice. I've been playing the crap out of Carcassone on it - one of the few games on the R4 card that actually appealed to me. I wish they'd somehow managed to get the 3DS XL into the same form/weight factor as I definitely prefer the feel and heft of it. On the 3DS I've mainly been playing Mario 3D Land, which is like having a 3D World from the WiiU in my pocket (awesome, in other words), and it's such a great implementation of the 3D effect. Mostly the 3DS lives on my desk to play during load/wait times for games, or just to give me a little 10-15 minute break from work. Might be picking up a new 3DS (non XL) tomorrow after work depending on if the seller gets back to me. They are a good deal less common than the new XL and I've had my eye out for a cheapish one for a while - hoping it'll give the pocketability of the n2DSXL but with 3D. Having used the second gen systems I definitely can't go back to the face tracking on the original 3DS. Last Celebration posted:Anyone know a good source for n3DS XL she’ll replacements? Kinda hosed up the back one and I’d rather not rely on tape forever. From a while back, but AliExpress, especially if you want something not sold in your region. Obviously there's usually a 6-8 week wait involved (some sellers do have domestic warehouses, but it's not common in my experience) but prices will be cheaper than eBay in most cases. Sifting through all the chaff is annoying as hell though. The quality on all the cases/parts I've bought on there so far has been good - the only fault I've noticed is what appears to be some overspray on a Pikachu n3DS XL shell replacement kit, but it's internal so doesn't actually matter. Everything else has been indistinguishable from OEM as far as I can tell. Speaking of Ali Express, this will probably not impress any of you in North America, but I swapped over the outer top shell on a Metallic Blue Australian n3DS XL for an AliExpress Galaxy shell. From pictures, it seems like the Galaxy version (that we never got) is the same as our Metallic Blue but with the different faceplate. NA never got the Metallic Blue for probably that same reason.  I got this one as part of a package deal (someone's MonHun IV setup - two XLs and 2 Monster Hunter carts), since it's a TN I decided it was the one to go. The Galaxy shell was a cheap and low-effort value add that seems to be paying off, it rocketed up to AUD$200 in the first two days of bidding, which is already more than I thought it might go for. It ends tonight so still hoping for some last minute irrationality.

https://3ds.hacks.guide Hacking a 3ds is almost trivial. Even if you don't want to muck about with emulators it gives you the tools to dump your own carts and back up saves and other such nifty things. Just be aware that dumping and installing a game is not a quick process, have something else to do while you do it.

I've consigned the titty ninja game to the out stack since it broke my circle pad again, and the game is still pretty terrible. I've glued the pad back together with two part epoxy this time and moved on to River City Tokyo Rumble which is much better. Still entirely deserving of its 6/10 score, enjoyment depends on how much you liked River City Ransom and need an updated, portable, version.
