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.

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.

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:

Awakening is nowhere near as long as Bravely Default

Well that's good to know, although I'll be more of a completionist than not. I don't try to 100% games, but side quests definitely. I was just going based on the year-end stats for the last couple of years where it seemed like everyone had 100+ hours in FE:A.

In any case, so far Mario Golf rules and I made the correct choice imo.

What's loving fascinating about this system transfer stuff is we're presumably a community filled with people who know how to do things like read and use a computer. I can't imagine some know-nothing parent being able to deal with this poo poo.

If anything, know-nothing parents are better at RTFM than the average goon. In reality, the system transfer stuff is really well-documented on Nintendo's site. It even has an idiot-proof self-guided FAQ for every specific upgrade path.

The STEAM demo is so long. I'm still playing it. I hope there was some error and I accidentally got the full game because this is the most fun I've ever had with turn based strategy or whatever the hell it's called.

Wait, what? It's just two stages, I thought. The first being a 3-parter, of course. I've beaten everything twice and gotten all the gears and did them below the min # of turns. Does more open up if you keep playing?

So, my 3DS apparently shipped next-day air, due today. The problem is, the city is loving frozen over and nobody is at work. Time to test UPS' resolve... :ohdear:

I found a new 3DS today and picked it up. Question about the system transfer: I only have the one charger (NINTENDOOO :argh:), if my old 3DSXL was on a full charge and I have the new one plugged in, will the system transfer finish before the old 3ds runs out of juice? I have to go back to work in a few minutes so I can't be here to swap cables.

The transfer is fairly interactive at times, so I'd wait til you get home again. Just charge up the new one for now since it arrived at a half charge at best.

Well, you'll need to transfer the stuff over and you'll need a MicroSD reader, an SD card reader, and then a #0 screw to open your new XL to get the MicroSD out.

Speaking of, the screw part was laughably easy. I was sweating it with popping off the cover though. It did not feel very sturdy at all.

Ciaphas posted:

I was led to understand that after the System Transfer was done I'd get the option to redownload my games, and my saves would be waiting and ready. :confused:


You'll need to transfer your SD card since you chose licenses only. If you have a regular SD card in your old one, you'll need to use a PC to copy from that card to the new micro.

What about Story of Seasons? It's coming out pretty soon, although I don't know how hyped up it is. Apparently it's the "real" Harvest Moon, even though it is no longer allowed to call itself Harvest Moon :iiam:

I am loving the poo poo out of my N3DS. Since I never had the system I always figured Fire Emblem: Awakening was a standard JRPG (of which I'm not into that genre) so I downloaded the demo because everyone says how good it is and wow was I wrong. I picked the full version up today and it's amazing. It's like Advance Wars with a fantasy setting, cool story and deeper strategy. Good poo poo.

Wait, this is your first exposure to FE? Have you been living under a rock, son? Wait til you find out that the formula hasn't changed a whole lot from when the series was on the DS, GBA, Wii, Gamecube...

I'm genuinely interested in why you believe so. FE has been mainstream since the GC and GBA, so that would be similar to saying that Smash Bros on the Wii U is most people's first exposure to SSB. Am I really that old?

I'm the same. I am still waiting for a new grid tactics game where I have a handful of characters that have changing jobs with large skillsets, status effects, etc., rather than FE where it's pick a weapon or spell or two to whittle down the enemy on boring battlefields.

It really is depressing that :downswords: :downs: :newlol: :newfap: games like Candy Crush are the ones making a killing these days while we we're living in a decline of good strategy games like FFT, FE, and Advance Wars. At least SMT and EO are still going, but even the next EO is dumbed-down. I don't know if what that says about the future of gaming or what that says about the intelligence of people these days is sadder.

It's in-between. It has a mode where you play as your Mii and can walk around the club and talk to NPCs/buy gear. It's not nearly as in-depth as the older ones but it's still fun. The game itself is awesome and worth just for the online tournaments.

Online play is worthless because there are people who eagle literally 75% of holes. That's a hole in one on all but one or two par 3s out of the whole 18 holes. I'm already a +9 handicap and I've gotten one hole-in-one ever, and never an eagle on a par 4.

I don't even see how it's possible unless you can max all the stats. But so far after 40 coins the gear doesn't seem any better than most of the stuff at the beginning.

Still a fun as hell game. Online play is just the last reason on the list IMO.

See, Sony were actually being clever by not releasing any games for the Vita so that they could show off just how good the battery life is while it's in sleep mode.

This is 100% not true for EO4.

I fully completed the game with just a single party (only switching out one character when I got bored with having a Medic).

I had 3 unique parties saved, but each party was only different by 1 or 2 slots. Two full parties would have been nuts.

have you tried putting the new card in the 3DS via an adapter? Are you sure the filesystem is arranged the exact same way as before?

Pretty much this. A couple of folders get uniquely named for the console.

Make a backup (Jesus, you cut and pasted each time? :stare: ) of the files on your computer, format whatever card is going into the 3DS, boot up the card in the 3DS so it gets initialized, then shut it down and plug it into your PC.

Then, figure out which folder has a different name, and drop in everything below from your backup into that folder. I remember having to do something like that when I upgraded my o3DS from its original SD card to my 32gig one.

OK now you might be onto something.

(Also the reason I cut and paste is because it's 100x faster for some reason)

Anyway there is a Nintendo 3DS folder on my SD card. In there, there are three folders. One says private, the other two are random characters/numbers. Is there only supposed to be one or something?

Yup, it's the randomly-named folder that is unique. Not sure what the private folder is - I'd just copy and paste whatever's in there as well. Just check to see if that one also has some kind of autogen folders inside of it.

e: and just to clarify, let the 3DS generate that code on a fresh card before you copy the contents from the old autogen folder first

Hey uhh is there any good way to get black shards in Theatrhythm Curtain Call? I don't even want dumb Sephiroth I just want to have all the characters unlocked.

I don't think any have "a bunch", more like one or two, and you can find them often enough on your own. Just keep beating high level maps and you'll find new ones, sometimes even from a song rather than the boss. Use the airship to speed through the bullshit maps if needed.
