so for those of you who had an original xl, is the screen brighter or does it pop a little more in terms of colors? I'm getting mixed reports.

That sounds more like your fault for not owning it on both. Same with not reserving a new 3ds xl when you already new it was gonna own.

I see what you did there.

But you can't blame him on the latter, since approximately 10% of people who preordered a Nu3ds have actually gotten one.

Well, there's always this, too. It's unofficially called the MonHun accessory for a reason.

Anyone else get their shipping notice from best buy Friday (and order status says shipped) but the tracking number just shows "order processed ready for ups" still after a couple days? I wasn't expecting it Monday or whatever but it's odd to me that the tracking hasn't updated at all.

You're ahead of the game. Most of us still show the "preparing order" bit.

UPS doesn't do stuff on the weekends, and Monday is President's Day, so hang out until Tuesday.

UPS doesn't observe President's Day.

MonHun chat: using just the L without even target lock works fine for me so far. I don't use the touch screen with my fingers, only the stylus so I was slightly concerned but it's working.

when i did the original transfer from old 3ds to this one, 5 or 6 of the games transferred over but the file size read 0 on them and they were greyed out. so either the card was hosed from the get-go or my 3ds is jacked up but i would doubt that

This exact same thing happened to me. I copy and pasted everything from the original card to my PC again and then pasted it all to the new card and everything worked perfectly.

What are you even booing here?

Mario Golf: World Tour is a really fun game that is constantly running tournaments and adding new equipment and outfits since release. You can dress your Mii in golf outfits inspired by Mario characters and items. There is a demo available you can try. I don't even dig real golf but this game rules.

The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

Just say a display model in best buy picking up MM and the on sale GCU.

The head tracking worked really well. I'm impressed. I'm going to defiantly pick one up when it's in stock again. For the improved 3d alone.

Don't think I can recommend any 3ds games that haven't already been mentioned. Pokemon X/Y/ORAS, 3D Land, Bravely Default, SMTIV, Etrian Odyssey games, Link Between Worlds, Animal Crossing, Professor Layton games. Kid Icarus Uprising was fun, but the controlling it was awful and made my hands hurt.

I've really enjoyed discovering DS games, though. I never had a DS and I've been going through it's games and have found some really good ones.

Dragon Quest IV
Final Fantasy III (though you should just play Bravely Default instead)
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Chrono Trigger (never played the original, the port is very good)
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
SMT: Devil Survivor
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky
The World Ends with You


I'd add the Ace Attorney series to this list, as well as Lost Magic and Magical Starsign. The latter two aren't really known but I had a blast playing them.

Note that lostmagic runs like poo poo on the old ds but runs really well on the 3ds.

80 hours to finally beat Bravely Default. Jesus, that last boss fight :stare:

I pulled out the BD card, stuck in FE:A, and I was about to switch it on when a little voice inside of me went, you just played 80 hours of Bravely Default, and now you're about to start an even longer RPG?

So now I'm playing Mario Golf. :cheers:

You could focus on one weapon for solo stuff and another for groups, that's what I did in 3U (Switch Axe and Bow which unfortunately also meant having to get two sets of armor)

It's been a while since I played through the intro dungeon of SMT4 but the general idea behind that game is abuse enemy weaknesses as much as possible. You get extra turns for hitting enemies with their weakness with a chance of that character getting a huge temporary hit/evasion/damage buff. The best strategy I've found is to strike first and make sure your enemies never live to see their first turn.

This does not work on bosses, especially when things are going good, they're at like one round from death and then they crit you, gaining additional attacks, killing a party member every crit.

Bosses are where you need to care less about steamrolling and more about your defenses. Fight a boss a couple times to see their moves or search the internet about what moves they have. Then, instead of picking powerful demons, make some demons that are as resistant or immune to those moves as possible. It'll be a slower fight if those demons aren't as strong but you'll be able to survive a lot easier.

Yeah, like MH4U.


I'm still trying to find a place in northern NJ that's selling the Black New 3DS XL, but they're all out of stock, so I guess I'll have to wait for the next shipment, unless there's a store I missed that would sell them. Checked around at Gamestop, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target already.

A little privacy, please?
the magnet that activates sleep mode on my laptop sometimes activates the sleep mode on my New3DS if I put the 3DS down on the corresponding place on my laptop’s wristrest.

Which is, you know, TERRIFYING the first time it happens, because the screen and sound shut off suddenly and you don’t know what’s going on, but becomes extremely amusing in retrospect.

For homebrew and custom themes Ninjhax works. It requires a firmware version between 4.0.0-7 and 9.2.0-20.

For backups, only the Sky 3DS and its clone cards work on any firmware version. Do not download games off of the internet and play them online or you will get a system and NNID ban. You can not currently make backups of your own games with a New 3DS, you will need a normal 3DS on firmware 4.1-9.2 and no extra hardware.

Region Free or "Region Three" does not currently work on any New 3DS.

Gateway carts, its clones, and all of the related features including emulated NAND do not currently work on New 3DS. An update is in the works and has been seen functioning in closed beta back in November.
