In Dream Team, how annoying is the handholding? The RPG series is my favorite spin off, but I can see myself easily getting annoyed if the game just holds my hand 100% of the time.

So Best Buy twitter is saying everyones 3DS is still just sitting in the warehouse and they're too busy jacking off to send them out. However calling or email support has this to say instead:


So who the gently caress knows what is going on with Best Buy right now.

This sounds like Nintendo either said they'd have x amount of consoles or Best Buy bought x amount and only got y or something.

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

Sounds like my love life!

But honestly, you'll grow to love it. I had a normal 3DS and going to the XL was really weird since I had no reason to play it and the screens were enormous. However, I saw a regular 3DS in the wild after some months of having the XL and was surprised at how tiny it was.

I have a 3DS XL right now and I'm looking to probably get a Japanese New 3DS non-XL (or LL for those in the know). Anybody have an idea how the Japanese eShop works and if I can just buy a bunch of pre-loaded cash cards to pick up games that way?

I'm pretty sure you can even just use an American credit card.

However, you can't system transfer between regions.

I think the trade-in deal still runs through the weekend, so an XL will be worth $100 if you put it towards a New 3DS.

There is, but the way the 3DS works, you both need to add each other to be added, so it's better to just add people naturally.

You should start with 3D Land

Soooooo.

e: I'm playing MM using the zeldadungeon.net walkthrough and am having fun when I never even got to the first temple on the N64. I think I'll end up liking this more than OOT (which I've never finished, though a 3DS copy is in the mail).

I have this theory that OoT is simply not a good game and is only so well-liked across boards because it's the first 3D Zelda. Majora's Mask is emo as hell and trippy and weird, so even if the gameplay was bad, people would say the tone carries it.

I bought a New 3ds, the last one within 40 miles of me with about 10 seconds to spare. The people right behind me came up asking for one. Suckers. Anyway, I've never owned any 3ds and I'm loving it so far. Should I just be going balls out with this 3d slider or gradually increasing it? Or just adjust it on a game by game basis? I've only played 3d land, which looks amazing with it, and Ocarina which didn't seem so hot. Don't know if it's just my eyes needing time to adjust or if some games just struggle with it.

The 3D slider is/should be a one-time setting thing. Like, it doesn't make things more 3D, it's there so you can adjust it to see things in 3D in a way that looks better for you. I can't explain it perfectly, but when I wear glasses, all the way up is better, but without them, I have it at about the mid-level.

Every Gamestop in the DC area has sold out of New 3DSes and I'm super upset about it because for only $100 I'm definitely interested but I can't justify buying one for $200. The head-tracking is really the only reason I'd get one.

Sell your 3DS XL on Craigslist.

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.

How the heckofits do custom themes work with Ninjhax but not backups? Don't thy require the same level of access?

I mean, it's cool to be unhelpful and everything, but in the actual 3DS menu options it just lists win7/8 as "verified supported clients" and in the Nintendo howto it just looks like a windows file share, which is what smb:// is on a Mac.

Thanks.

I'm not trying to be an rear end, but the fact that we use Macs could be the sole reason why it's not working.

The c-stick itself doesn't move, really. I mean, it does an incredibly small amount, but it doesn't move the way a normal control stick would.

Hey, for the sake of some spergs like me who have trouble deciding between physical and digital:

I plan on buying three games tomorrow; Alpha Sapphire, Majora's Mask, and Smash 3DS. Out of these three, which make the most sense to buy digitally? Part of me thinks none since they're all good games that will increase in value, but another part is telling me it'll be rear end switching between three new game cartridges.

I highly doubt that these three games will ever increase in value because they'll probably be manufacturing enough copies to last until the heat death of the universe. They will, at best, retain value.

Pokemon games always increase in value, and looking at the way OoT was handled, I can see Majora's going up in a few months. Smash, however, may not since the 3DS version is seen as a watered down Wii U version.

Honestly, I'm sure why I care. I have intention to ever sell these games.

I wouldn't bother with Smash 3DS if you have a Wii U unless you absolutely need portable Smash.

The 3D on a new XL looks amazing. I dunno what the hell Nintendo did to change it, but it feels a lot more "real" than before. The 3D used to work in reverse, where things appeared to have more depth, but on the new, it looks like that pop upwards like they do in 3D movies.

So right now I have an (old) 3DS XL, that I basically gave to my wife. It is the Zelda edition that came with ALBW installed.

I want to buy the New 3DS XL, but is there any way to transfer Zelda from the old system to the new one, but leave the saves for Pokemon/Animal Crossing (which are my wife's games basically and I don't want her save files). Or are the save files for Pokemon X / Animal Crossing on the game card, and not the SD card, and I don't have to worry about that and can just do a System Transfer?

Physical cart saves are on the carts.
