Momomo posted:I'm guessing since Gamestop has trade ins for the old 3DSes, you can't really do a system transfer if you go that route? I mean that I bought a new one yesterday and it's flawed so i want to exchange it in the store i bought it in

The backlight on the bottom screen seems a little uneven but its not a big deal. It feels fairly sturdy at least which is nice.

Ciaphas posted:Good news, everyone! :farnsworth:  fantasticif theyre still doing the special you can get a fair amount for it as a deal for if you're trading up to a new one. of course, they're sold out at the moment but if it's going to last a little while then you could do that.

Ironic Porn Rental posted:Man every store in town is sold out and I'm missing out. I don't buy too many new toys, how long can I expect to wait before they reappear on the shelves? Should I just order online? most large stores get a shipment of new tech stuff every week. so you'll see them on the shelves next week, unless all of them somehow sell out again.

Bombadilillo posted:Can you turn off face tracking if it sucks for you? you can, it's called "Stable 3d" or something like that. go to where you calibrate the 3d and turn it off and it'll use the old 3ds style of 3d instead.

I dont know if the n3ds is worth it for anyone who actually has an old one, because I didn't. If you are getting a 3ds for the first time tho its a good choice imho

KingSlime posted:so for those of you who had an original xl, is the screen brighter or does it pop a little more in terms of colors? I'm getting mixed reports. on mine top one seems good, but bottom one is demonstrably worse in quality than the top screen. maybe thats normal tho

does anyone else have somewhat uneven backlighting on the bottom screen? it's not serious, just a little irritating.

I bought the Pokemon games on cartridge, because it's useful to be able to move the cart around or trade between them or whatever. But I bought MH4 digitally and it's worked out pretty well (it's huge, though)

Martytoof posted:How big are 3DS games on average? If I have a 32GB MicroSD card, should last me a while, assuming I have zero interest in actually owning physical carts? It depends, but I know that MH4 is like 3gb

Tormented posted:I just bought the new 3ds. This is my first portable system since my PSP days. I'm debating that I should have gotten a Vita instead but I think I know all of one person with it. Anything I should know and what games are good to grab for someone looking for a deep gaming experience? SMT4 is fifteen bucks on eshop, go get it.

goferchan posted:Wow, every store within an hour is sold out and there are a lot of stores nearby. Sears has some in stock but only in an EXTREMELY wack "bundle" that comes with one game of your choice, a charger, and some useless accessories for $320 -- fuuuuck that they probably havent gotten in any new shipment yet, theyll get some in this week.

Purple Monkey posted:Is Monster Hunter worth getting if you're probably only going to play it single player? to make up for the lack of other players, in singleplayer you can recruit and outfit friendly kitties to hunt monsters with, and you can set up their equipment to modify their AI and so on to tailor them for your playstyle. so it's still good.

Louisgod posted:Okay, and how..? You need to drag and drop the data from the old SD card to the new one but I can't connect it to my laptop without the adapter. new 3ds supports transferring files from your pc to your 3ds wirelessly so as long as it's formatted and the thing can read it you should be ok

Canned Panda posted:I decided to get Monster Hunter 4 last night. I'm really glad they let you take screenshots in that game. I don't have any idea why the hell you can't in some stuff, it seems like a basic thing that people like to do in videogames but i guess im not The Pokemon Company

io_burn posted:Is there a system-wide way to take screenshots (Like the iPhone home+power) or is being able to take screenshots a feature that's unique to certain games? I'm willing to suck no more than three dicks and pay a maximum of the balance of my PayPal account ($0.87) for the answer to this question. there is a sort of systemwide way to take screenshots, which is that you go to miiverse while ingame and then when you're making a post you can attach the current screen as a screenshot. but the developer has to let you do this, and can decide not to let you do this if they want, in which case taking them is impossible.

Louisgod posted:Okay but I also charge for gas, mental anguish, having to go into a store, having to stand in line at a post office and be next to another person, PTSD, energy expended relative to minutes spent looking for system multiplied by clerks that asked me if I needed help with anything divided by 2 (to account for me saying no), and parking costs. All in all about $7. i think we all know you'd do it for the price of a few sticks of jerky

Fuzz posted:Snake Eater doesn't run any better on the N3DS, does it? I had heard the framerate on it is garbage, and I assume they will never actually patch it to take advantage of the extra cores, but the new system has twice the RAM so maybe it performs slightly better? Maybe? no

DoctorWhat posted:so why make the small one? in other countries (and most importantly, in japan) the small original 3ds sold well, so it makes sense to have a smaller new 3ds. but it didn't in america; everyone bought XLs or 2DSes instead.

Bombadilillo posted:Cool. Is it like ffx where you could beat the game and then do 200+ hours of grinding to fight the insane bonus bosses? Or just fight poo poo until you've had your fill. Is there plot? there is a sort of plot, which strings the single-player content together and gives you tutorials of various types. the multiplayer is plotless and just has you kill poo poo to get higher numbers

Waltzing Along posted:What sort of game is Monster Hunter? I see it is well-regarded but I can't figure out exactly what it is. it is an action rpg where you kill monsters with dark souls combat, then if you kill enough of them you can make better swords or guns or whatever. also it has coop, and kitties.

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. yes. go to the eshop and log in and you can redownload your games and they'll load the saves that were transferred.

Tender Bender posted:- It takes a while to get going. I can't speak for 4, but 3U takes a couple hours teaching you the basics of the supplemental stuff like crafting, resource harvesting, and item usage before you get to fight anything interesting. I hadnt played one before 4, but within like half an hour I was doing a hunt in the single-player campaign, fighting a moderately big dinosaur with my mario cat. i think they deliberately put hunts in between tutorials for just that reason -- so you don't get bogged down before doing anything cool.

The bottom LCD screen is so far offset from center that the backlight seeps in through one side. I tried to exchange it at the store but they're sold out so rip

infraboy posted:I read for a few weeks before release about the new 3ds coming out, I hadn't bought a nintendo item since the first wii, I forgot that there always seems to be a shortage of nintendos latest hardware on release day, so on Wednesday, 5 days after release, I looked at the closest Target and Best Buy stores, definitely all sold out. Today, looked at Target's website after work, found out they had some red ones in stock at the San Rafael store in California, went there straight after work and found they one last red one sitting in the case, found the closest electronics guy and said i'd take it, picked up a copy of Pokemon too, Monster Hunter out of stock, guy at register said they only had 2 copies since release WTF. Of course I just realized the DSi charger works for it, but not my old DS, guess it's off to Target to grab the charger and check for Monster Hunter. I gave up andn just bought it on eshop.
