"why does being a majora's mask fan suck so much" asks goon, less than 72 hours after a gorgeously-polished portable remake of Majora's Mask is released 15 years after the original

tlarn posted:Is it weird that the main reason I wanted a New 3DS XL was because I discovered the scaling on DS games isn't quite right on the regular 3DS, leading to some blurriness, and it scales correctly on the XL's larger resolution screens? The XL has the same resolution screens as the regular, and the New doesn't change that. However, on both the XL and Bite-Size models, you can hold START (or SELECT) while DS games boot up to get them to render at native resolution, with black space around the image, and on the XL models, the reduced screen size is less egregious.

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.

And I can confirm that Plex works on 3DS AND that any side-by-side or top/bottom formatted 3D video file, in either orientation, is compatible with the 3DS Web Browser's Video Player!

Also, I've said it before and I'll say it again: the mechanism for the Circle Pad takes up the entire thickness of the 3DS. A full Right Circle Pad would take up space for the battery and/or other internals, in addition to aesthetic and ergonomic issues.

Monkey Fracas posted: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'm more interested in n3DS enhancements than exclusives. CPP (and ZL/ZR) support, better texture quality, etc.

gyro aiming + stable 3D feels like it's the future. if they actually COMBINED them to, say, alter the HUD perspective in real-time based on face-tracking... can you imagine???

Supercar Gautier posted:It should be possible for games to change their camera angle on the fly based on head tracking and give you a diorama effect, IF games have access to that tracking data. Hopefully something comes along that does it. well, games have access to the inside camera and the gyro. all the IR light does is allow the inner camera to work in low-light conditions, it doesn't handle any special sensing, so there's no real reason why n3DS games couldn't implement face-tracking either via Nintendo's internal systems or via their own parallel interpretation.

Most of the grinding for those sorts of consumables gets factored out by midgame (you can just buy most stuff) but it's still about constantly re-fighting bosses for drops. play multiplayer tho, it owns

system transfer (assuming you aren't doing full card-to-card wifi transfer) takes about an hour, but you kinda have to babysit it so you might wanna wait till you get home anyway

That's a bummer. You can turn off the super-stable without turning off the 3D but that's not super-fun either.

Well, there's the above question of Absolute Accuracy and the associated issue of performance Furthermore, while most SNES games do (just barely) render in juuust within the 3DS's native resolution, many use a "hires" mode at 512x448 for special effects that would be difficult or impossible to faithfully reproduce on the 3DS's 240p screen. (One such game is Earthbound, FYI.)

Glenn posted:A friend of mine was awesome enough to buy me a New 3DS XL a few days ago, but I didn't set it up until just now because I had been waiting for a microSD card in the mail. The system transfer was pretty painless and the console itself is pretty slick. In case anyone is wondering (because I was), the red New 3DS XL looks a lot better in person. We have a Monhun Megathread, but in short: expect what is essentially a boss rush with MMO-style grinding play-pattern. You smash monsters to turn their corpses into better armor and weapons so that you can smash future monsters more effectively. The monster-smashing itself is extremely fun and intense and technical, so it's not just a Diablo-type bigger-numbers skinner box, either.

I'm on the cusp of getting wrist surgery cause of carpal tunnel so that poo poo scares me. I wish they made Nintendo branded wrist supports. Normally I'd say the Hand Pain Stories for KI are overstated but if you're predisposed to that sort of discomfort I'd avoid it. Monhun has better multiplayer anyway. hun mons with us

kater posted:I bought a Newds on a whim and the upgrade from an old standard 3ds is pretty amazing. The 3d refuses to work if I hold it six inches from my face and it sometimes feels so flimsy that I get eye daggers every time I press a button, but overall it's just really good looking and I'm extremely happy with the purchase. Six inches is way too close for the 3D. It wprks best at 10-14 inches.

noirstronaut posted:Does anyone else actually understand resolution between DS mode and 3DS mode? Basically, Shantae is on the eShop, the 3DS Virtual Console. However, it can be played in DS Mode as well and I'm wondering what the differences, in visual quality, would be. Those are different games. Shantae for GBC is a 3DS game via the VC. Shantae: RIsky's Revenge is a DSiWare game that runs in DS mode. Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is a 3DS eShop game that runs in 3DS mode. There's a 3DS VERSION of Risky's Revenge coming out soon, to make things more confusing for weird people who can't read.
