So anyone have any idea if there's anywhere that actually has the New 3DS in stock? I've checked Amazon, Gamestop, Target, Best Buy and Wal-Mart and nobody has it online or in stores around her.

If you are going by websites see if stores have stock I wouldn't trust them. My closest Wal-Mart said they were out but when I went to the actual store they had four. Call or if you live in a place where everything is relatively close to each other just do a sweep through all the usual places that carry systems.

Uh, I got the XL for $170 new after tax, and the non special edition new New 3DS was $200 before tax so...

For me the improvements to the 3D and speakers plus the addition of the nub thingie is worth the $30 but each their own. It's your money to spend how you see fit.

So does the data transfer copy my SD card, or just do the nid? Not that copy and pasting is hard. Just want to know.

Sorry for the double post but phone posting. It copies everything. After transferring your new 3DS will look just like your old down to the theme and icon placement.

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?

You don't want a Vita unless you love love love anime or have a PS4 to remote play. I have a Vita and hate anime so its only use is a portable GTA5 murder simulator. The 3DS is the right choice. The OP has some excellent choices but is still being updated but the last few pages here has everyone's submissions for their choices to be added to the OP. Red N3DS for Lyfe.

...Am I the only person whose fingers never touch the bottom of the 3DS while playing? I keep my thumb on the control stick/face buttons, my index fingers on the shoulder buttons and the rest of my hands around the middle of the 3DS. Like, how do you even accidentally touch the power button?

I was wondering this too and also the inadvertent popping out of the cart. But I guess it's a big enough issue for some people that they even made an accessory to help combat it.

So when are these things getting restocked?

Sold my MM3DS locally, but no one even has the regular editions in stock.

Probably this week. Ask your local stores when their electronics shipments usually come in. Best Buy might be on Friday since that is when they are dropping their exclusive Amiibo on the unwashed masses.

Are most people still comfortable using max 3D on the 3DS homescreens with the New 3DS? I'm finding that max 3D isn't comfortable, but about 35% is perfect and the super-stable 3D is impressive.

I just want to know if I'm defective.

Thanks.

I use anywhere from 25% to 75% with just above 50% the norm.

it's worth calling or going in person to find one, the local target said they were sold out online but they had 7 of them on display in the store

Wal-Mart said they were out of stock in my area but when I went there they had 4 in stock. Scored one of the sweet red ones.

Things every 3DS owner should know:

HORI accessories. Always.
Just follow the prompts with system transferring. Have a question? gently caress you, follow the prompts.
Turn off auto-brightness if your screen is too dark.
The new 3DS speakers are louder.
Yes, you want the new 3DS.
Practice screwing.
Suck a dick you dumb human being.
The going rate for someone to drive all over town to find you a N3DS is $5. Slim Jim optional.

Also worth mentioning that Monster Hunter, in addition to guns and lances, has a lance that is also a gun. This makes it a Good Game all on its own!

I'll take that up at some point, thanks. Transferring data between microSD cards just takes a reader, a PC and time, right, no fancy shenanigans on the N3DS?

Yeah, I did it last night. The most time consuming thing was figuring out the card reader on my laptop was moving the read lock in the adaptor down making the card write protected. Other than that expect a 15 minute job.

I was even able to remove the 3DS cover without a video or posting incessantly on an internet forum asking how to do it. This has to be the most overblown goon thing I have ever witnessed.

I won a copy of Monster hunter 4 through Twitter.

The last Nintendo handheld I owned was a GBA SP. I don't have a 3DS.

Rather than selling the game/giving it to friends, I have bought a New 3DS XL. It arrives next week.

I am an idiot.

You'll feel that way until you bask in that warm embrace of 3D gaming. It's like a hug from grandma.

I decided to see what all the craze is about. I've never played a Pokémon game and barely even know what kind of games they are. I think you collect them, whatever they are, and have no clue what they do when you do. What would be a good first Pokémon game for me?

I'm looking to get a New3DS by the end of the summer. It'll be my first (not borrowed) Nintendo handheld system since the Game Boy Pocket. With Club Nintendo shutting down in days, I have enough coins left to get a 3DS original Game Boy (Already picked Super Mario Land) title. Can I redeem and get the game now and be allowed to wait until I finally purchase a system, or do I need to actually have a registered device?

You'll get a code now that has to be registered by July 31 so you have until then to get a system.

I am a dumb gamer who gets excited for poo poo I've never played before because others get excited over it. I've never played a Fire Emblem game before even I used to own the last game. SRPGs are usually not my thing. I'm a Final Fantasy fan but did not like FFT. I did like that Valkyria game on PSP which goons go crazy for. So I guess my question is FE more like FFT or closer to Valkyria Chronicles?

Hot drat! Gamestop let me return a barely used copy of smash bros that I bought months ago. I didn't even know they could do that, but they are desperately trying to get people to fill surveys. I just mentioned I bought it from gamestop and didn't really care for it when they asked if it was my game.

Long story short I got final fantasy explorers for $2.17.


Also I snagged a mew card if anyone wants that. Just leave an email and I'll email you the code.

I'll take it, please.
