You basically have to play slot machines with real money to get them and Nintendo has probably not gotten enough lawyers in to see if that poo poo will fly in the West (it will).

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

Did anything ever come of the Cubic Ninja homebrew exploit?

SNES and Game Boy emulators, plus a way to add your own custom themes instead of being limited by the official selection. That's about it. The region-free hack ended up not even using it.

So what are the chances of the N3ds being the DSi?

That's what it is: a new revision that is perfectly ignorable.

Are we getting a 4ds in a year that has proper 3d out the gate and a real second analog input?

Ah, you seek the wisdom of the Internet in reading the future. If you are taking bets, Nintendo will make a new handheld at some point. We are two years away from it at a minimum.

The Trozei/Link game is more akin Puzzle & Dragons than Candy Crush, I hear? I don't know the difference to be honest, but Link Battle is a pretty fun game, though it gets ridiculously hard in the later stages. Shuffle seems far more slower in comparison from its introduction on the last Direct.

Can you suck my dick as an act of kindness? It's very lonely and could use the kindness. But I am in the spectrum so I am not sure if $5 is cool for a swell dude such as you.

Is Pokemon Shuffle Nintendo's first foray into free to play stuff? I know they've had a few games with microtransactions but as far as the whole you get X lives and they recharge in Y minutes thing like Candy Crush, this is the first one right?

X lives with recharge in Y minutes, yes, this is the first one. Then you have Steel Diver where the F2P version gives you one generic sub and the rest are paid for. No one ever talks about it, but it's a rather cool multiplayer game.

Eh, "really good" isn't how I would describe that port, but it's perfectly all right and, outside a Vita, a good way to experience the best MGS game on the go. Also, the N3DS nub should work as a second stick since Snake Eater was one of the few games that supported the MonHun CPP accessory.

I have an 8GB card in my old small 3DS, and I have a 32GB card ready for the New 3DS. Should I do the initial setup on the New 3DS, transfer stuff to the larger card, then do the NNID transfer?

You can first move everything into the 32GB card, have it on your old system, and then do the standard system transfer (the one that doesn't copy anything over WiFi). After the process is over, you will be requested to put the card in your old system on the new one.

I am however assuming your 32GB card is a microSD and you have an adapter to put it on your old 3DS to get things started.

Oh. hey, got home to find a Club Nintendo gift: the original soundtrack for Link Between Worlds. Pretty beautiful package, two discs, sheets for some of the melodies (so we can play them ourselves), and a pretty long note, sort of a Making Of from the composer (Ryo Nagamatsu).

Man, I tried to find an interview to check if it would be worth grabbing the Sonic one even though it's not sale and the guys at M2 are just insane. Oh, the 3DS can't do proper 2D graphics leaving most work on the CPU and emulating the Mega Drive doesn't allow for more VRAM? Well, we'll just loving create a buffed up Mega Drive spec, emulate it, and make the whole thing so input lag free you'd think you are playing on customized hardware that existed on an alternative reality where the jump to 3D consoles didn't happen.
