my new 3DSXL is cool and all, but I can't help wishing I had got the normal one instead. This feels a bit too big and the huge screens only seem to highlight the 3DS's poor graphical power

You'll get used to it quick and won't be able to drop down to the regular size soon enough.

So is there a happy ending or a sad ending for all those people who had preordered from Best Buy but hadn't had their units shipped being told both "oh UPS hasn't picked them up yet" and "oh that's on backorder?" Now that it's Monday, which did it turn out to be?

Mine finally is in transit from New York or whatever.

Should be here tomorrow.

Just my luck. UPS delayed my delivery. I understand that the weather is pretty lovely from Richmond upwards but man, I'm just never going to catch a break with this thing.

E. I won't spend time talking shipping info. I'm just frustrated :(

When's the next event where Nintendo will announce it's next batch of games. Maybe there will be something exciting that makes me watch to jump. Now it's just vague promises of a new fire emblem.

Honestly Nintendo just does a Direct whenever they want. They could announce games whenever they want.

Should have a New 3DS by Friday and was wondering if Bravely Default and Luigi's Mansion are worth getting. Played the first LM waaayyy back in the day when GCN launched and enjoyed it despite its brevity.

Just wanted to know if the 3DS game was basically more of the same.

3DS LM is pretty much more of the same but it's good if you can find it on the cheap.

Bravely Default is the best Final Fantasy game not named Final Fantasy. Haven't gotten far in it but it does get a bit repetitive towards the end. Good time though if you like RPGs.

Has anybody bought used 3DS games from Gamestop online? Did it come loose or in a case? I doubt it did, but it'd be nice.

I've had it come with a generic case most of the time, but one time it came packaged in a little slip.

Yes but reports are it works better then those. Don't know why they didn't add another full pad which would work even betterer.

Because they can save the second full pad for the ~true 3DS successor~ and people will buy it right up.

^^^ Also that, unless loads of games start using second pad control it's just a waste.

Hmm, so I hit the first stopping point of running out of lives and having to wait in Pokemon Shuffle. It's a cool game, I guess, but it very much feels like someone at Nintendo was like "Hey we need one of those free to play matching games too." Adding Pokemon doesn't make it feel any more unique or compelling than any of the other endless supply of free to play matching games out there already.

Nintendo could easily go into the app stores with games like these but they never will. I have no idea.

Well they would probably use it if it existed.

Also, I have that feeling about the true successor and am torn on getting this model or riding out my xl. I'd love a proper duel analog setup and some improved graphics. It's 2015 and we're sitting between an n64 and a GameCube here.

If I already had a regular XL and missed my chance to trade in at Gamestop for a $100 N3DS I probably wouldn't have done the upgrade. It does feel a lot like the DSi and all, but I was jumping from the regular 3DS so I wanted to get my big screens back.

I don't really remember when the DSi came out, was it as difficult to get a DSi as it is for these New 3DS'?

(I do remember a green DSi coming out to the states and I'm very disappointed that a green N3DS doesn't exist)

They are a publicly traded company and eventually their investors will get fed up with them continuing to ignore mobile platforms. It's weird. I understand them not wanting to bring original first party poo poo to mobile, as admittedly the need for a 3DS is greatly diminished if we lived in some insane universe where Majora's Mask was on the App Store... But what I don't understand is why they're not farting out their virtual console stuff. Remember, some dude released a totally non-functional scam app labeled Pokemon Yellow. It hit #2, and was filled with iTunes reviews of people who were buying it knowing it didn't work just with the hope that it'd one day get updated.

That's a thing that actually happened.

I'd imagine Nintendo would probably make mobile games using characters they have. So while VC games or Majora's Mask on the App Store might not happen, something like Pokemon Shuffle would make sense on the store. The Puzzle and Dragon's Mario Game could work on a phone if they themselves published it or something.

I guess it just depends how many N3DS-only games they wind up actually releasing. Can't see why someone would make a game for a system with a much smaller install base than the OG 3DS platform that only comes with seemingly minimal graphical/memory upgrades.

I feel like the New 3DS will do a lot better than the DSi ever did but I kinda hope Nintendo announces a lot more of these exclusive N3DS games. But I see why the next major Mario game on the 3DS may not be exclusive to the N3DS.

If you've ever read their annual stock QA roundtable you realize that the people that own stock in Nintendo are massively stupid, to the point where they have no idea what the company even does or makes. In the end all that matters to them is that they're making money, and Nintendo seems like they're actually on their way to do that now.

Have we already had the doom and gloom conversation about Nintendo yet?

It's the same exact game.

What I don't get is why they didn't redesign the bottom screen where the character information and map are. The map is pretty small and there's space there that they could have used to fill up the screen better I think.
