Son of a bitch. System transfer ate my loving puzzle pieces. It was the only goddamn thing I went into that stupid app for.

Did you remember to copy the data from one SD card to the other? Because puzzle piece/mii plaza data doesn't transfer when you do the regular system transfer. I forgot that when I did it a year or two ago from my OG to XL.

I'm planning on upgrading in the next couple months. How do you get the purchases to go over when doing a copy/paste?

Just read up on how to do the system transfer. You need to do the system transfer app, and follow it's instructions. It'll tell you to move the SD card at the end, in which time you can either just move the SD card to the new system, or in the case of an older 3DS/2DS to a N3DS, you copy all the data to your computer, then copy it back onto the micro sd instead.

Same process as upgrading your SD card, which I had done.

I'm about to break down and buy a NN3DSXL because the circle pad and left shoulder button on my current XL are loose and wiggly. But I own most of my games physically and I only get games digitally that are exclusively digital so do I need to invest in a larger micro SD card that the 4GB card the comes with it? I still have the original 4GB SD card in my current XL and I'm not even close to filling it up yet.

Well just because the card is smaller in stature doesn't mean it's 4GB card holds less than the 4GB SD card.

Thanks. I ordered a sticker for my little kid video game (Game Boy) with my big boy credit card. Here's a link to the cool Triforce/Zelda one based off of N3DS faceplate #55, since it was sort of a bitch to find via google. Use coupon code CABINFEVER until Feb. 27th to get 20% off.

I was curious how it turns out before I jump in, you'll have to take pictures. While $2 off would be nice, I can wait and spend the extra cash if it looks awesome, or be happy that I saved $20 if it doesn't turn out as pictured. Here's hoping it's awesome.

Did Nintendo kill the eShop games giving coins? I tried the demo that apparently gives 15 coins, and have yet to get any survey 3 weeks later. :(

Just buy literally anything from before 2015 and you'll get ten coins. There's plenty of decently good games under $5 on both systems. Mighty Switch Force, Rush, Toki Tori, Tappingo, take your pick.

SeANMcBAY posted:

Yup, they did. Pokemon Bank is the only remaining free thing that gives coins.

I should have been more clear I guess. I figured they killed the free game stuff, but I was more curious if I could just buy a cheap older game off the eShop and still get the 10 coins from an eShop purchase, which it appears most people are saying works.

I'll probably just finally pick up Crashmo, since I never ended up picking it up.

Or, you know, they come out with some other amazing rear end game that's only for the New one, like a new Starfox or something.

The n3DS will go the way of the DSi soon anyway. Nintendo is going to announce the NX or whatever as a new handheld that supports cross platform play and all of us that bought the n3DS will feel like dopes like I did when I bought a DSi XL and had the 3DS come out within a year. t:saddowns:t

So I got my DecalGirl Zelda skin that Enjoy posted before. I did end up putting on all the stickers, even the ones that go on the hinge, specifically because my Link Between Worlds 3DS XL had a shitton of scratches where the hinge would rub against the inside of the bottom.

I have to say, I was worried about it being a bitch with bubbles like the screen protectors always are, but I actually had almost no issue putting the thing on! Any bubbles I had were very easy to get out and re-applying wasn't that big of a deal.

You got it in game, it didn't come with the game. You had to talk to the cat in your house and access the DLC menu.

Specifically, for Monster Hunters gift DLC you needed to go into the eShop and download the patch specifically to get it. THEN you went and talked to your cat in your house and it would show up as a gift.

It wasn't given out as a code or anything else, and may not be on the eShop anymore. Worth it to check at least though, it had a bunch of Max Potions, and Lifepowders which are amazing to have early game online.

I decided to make a soft case/sleeve for my New 3DS. I recycled an old canvas pack for the outer material, and modeled it after a kindle sleeve I got off Etsy some years back. I wish I'd made it a quarter inch or so larger in both dimensions, and my stitching is far from perfect, but I'm pretty pleased.



That looks real nice. I kind of want to get a case of some sort for my 3DS so it doesn't get hosed up, but then it may not fit in my Jnco's

That was the Swapnote stuff, you could get different stationary sent from people who had it sent from Japan, and then you could use it.

Also with Animal Crossing, if you street passed someone who had the exclusive JP Only furniture, you could acquire it that way.

You don't NEED homepass to fill out your puzzles. I just recently finished all of the puzzles on my 3DS and have never used a homepass system. I don't regularly street pass anyone around here, but I got to the mall randomly for lunch from work and get some street passes from the relay there.

Most of the other pieces are from conventions like PAX East.

Boxboy and Crashmo are both under $5, as are all the other Guild games, 3D Sonic and 3D Outrun, Mighty Switch Force 1 & 2...

NES Metroid & Punch-Out are $2.49 each right now, so you could buy both of those.

Never heard of Boxboy, I haven't finished Pushmo, so I was staying away from Crashmo. The other guild games didn't really sway me like Weapon Shop, old school Sonic/Outrun I'm on the fence on ( I played the crap out of both as a kid and I don't have rose tinted goggles ), I own Mighty Switch Force 1 and barely play it.

Nes Metroid and Punch-out....

I REALLY love Punch-Out, but I have Metroid Zero Mission on GBA that I still haven't finished.

I likely will grab Punch-Out, or look into this "Boxboy" you speak of. ;)

Thank you for the effort in giving recommendations though. I know I didn't give much to go on, and that's kind of big. I may just pony up another 4.98 for Shantae.

For some reason, the Donkey Kong Country games were made easier in Japan. More DK Barrels everywhere.

The original release of Devil May Cry 3 had the American Normal == Japanese Hard.

Regardless, with most games today ( I wasn't referring to these outliers actually ) if you are confident in your ability in the genre of the game, you should be able to clear the game on hard and get more out of it than playing on Normal.

The special edition is sold out in 99% of cases so if you like Awakening style with grinding and easier gameplay, get Birthright. If you want it without grinding and more linear and difficult style, get Conquest. If you can't make your mind up, choose your favourite anime character on the box I suppose.

Once you've finished one, buy the other as DLC when prompted and you will be able to get the third campaign in early March. The purchase new path/DLC is an option on the main menu too unless you own all three paths, which removes it.

You also get another 3 save slots per path owned, up to a total of 9.

I'm actually really curious why the revelations DLC is not out until March, yet if you buy the ( extremely limited it seems? ) special edition then you have it immediately. Why not just have it up? Why bother with a delay?

I would love to grab the special edition, but I would get it for retail only. I'm fine with just having the game digitally instead if the physical cart isn't made more widely available.

Ummm there is a significant chance it will be in english. Monster hunter 4u was one of the best selling games for 3ds. It sold over one million copies on the english market. That is a lot of money to just ignore.

Actually, just about every game in the Monster Hunter line that has come out internationally has been the "G" version. The re-release of the game with bonus monsters and a G rank. In all likely-hood we would be more likely to get Monster Hunter X-G when it inevitably hits.

Why didn't Piccolo learn kaioken?

He was even on King Kai's planet for quite some time with Yamcha, Tien and Chaotzu, yet none of them learned the Kaioken technique? You can use it in Xenoverse with any non-Saiyan character so it really is odd.

I was disappointed with the new extreme Butoden game as it seems like every character is pretty much the same. All of them seem to have 2-3 combos for supers, with little depth. Maybe I'm just not 'getting it' but there should be some kind of trading in game or in a manual going over the system if there is more to it.

MIleage may vary, but the store won't likely do it for you, they may however let you do it while you're in store. Make sure to move everything you want to the SD card though, the WiFi transfer is horribly slow.
