DaveKap posted:Ah, new thread, which means a new place to post a request that if anyone out there has a Majora's Mask 3DS they want to offload, I'll happily buy it off you. Scalpers got me down and the price is only going up right now. I'm patient but gosh I wonder when the curve's gonna dip back down. Why does being an MM fan have to suck so much. A month or two, it'll probably be down to about $250. Don't expect any lower than that.

Bleusilences posted:I think monster hunter 4 use some of the improvement to have better texture, shadows and a more stable frame rate. Monster Hunter 4 does look really good for a 3DS game on the New 3DS, and it often runs at a pretty high framerate. I dunno if it's 60 FPS like some people say, though. I feel like those people have never played a PC game at 60+ FPS. I'd say at least 45 FPS at all times. 3D still chokes it up on occasion, though, even on a New 3DS. There was a lot of hubbub about the monsters having a higher polygon count on the New 3DS, but you really don't even notice it in motion, if it's true.

Kilometers Davis posted:I'm a little afraid to post in the Monster Hunter thread so I just wanted to say thank you 3DS thread for guiding me to just go ahead and play 4U on my regular XL. It's an amazing game. I'm terrible at it but I can't help but smile when I'm in that wonderful land of giant monsters and cute kitties. You should really check out a beginner's guide to the series. There's more stuff to learn than what could be reasonably posted in a thread post, but that's not to say it's overwhelming or anything. You just need a good introduction to the various menus and shop/vendor options, the controls (4U does good showing you the ropes here,) and most importantly, how to properly prepare for whatever type of quest you're about to set out on.

I seem to do alright in the battle, and then they just lance crit my party dead in a turn. What am I supposed to be doing to counter that? SMTIV just starts out really hard because you don't have a party full of demons. They hosed this up. You just have to make it out of that first short dungeon, and you'll be fine. Just make sure you recruit whichever demons you meet until you've got a full party.

Swagger Dagger posted:I like the MM limited edition but not enough to pay what anyone wants for it at this point. Wait a couple of months, it'll be down to about $250 when 80% of the scalper inventory repeatedly fails to sell at the current trending price. I just did a search on recently sold listings to back up my claim and gave up, as the data isn't really indicative of whether or not they're actually selling for hundreds of dollars over retail. What's potentially hilarious, though, is that many of the completed listings were won by brand new eBay accounts with 0 feedback. I can only hope it's a bunch of butthurt people sabotaging auctions. It'd suck if they were legitimate buyers, though, registering an account on eBay for the sole purpose of settling for a grossly overpriced 3DS because they couldn't get one in a store. Just put a loving decal on the drat thing and save yourself a car payment. Kaubocks posted:I put about 80-90 hours into Hyrule Warriors so far. Bought the DLC.

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? Average, probably around 500 - 600MB. A handful of games break the 1GB mark, but not many. As long as you don't buy like every 3DS game there is that's made available digitally, 32GB should be plenty.

I just realized that it's very likely Nintendo went with "New" 3DS because of the confusion caused by naming the successor to the Wii the Wii U. We need a name that says, this is NOT just an accessory for the 3DS! It's an all new vers-- got it! Good job, Nintendo.

Wow. I was pricematching 3DS XLs on Craigslist to see how much to try and sell mine for, and found this guy selling a Pokemon X 3DS XL with 5 games for $90. No idea what the fifth game is (Pokemon X?), but the four pictured are Pokemon Y, Bravely Default, Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, and... Ocarina of Time 3D. Should I e-mail him and tell him he could get way more if he sold OoT3D on its own, or offer him $80 for the bundle?

It's way better than before, and a small gripe, but enough for me to be like fuuuuuck why is this still a thing?

Someone wanted pictures of a Decalgirl skin on a New 3DS, so here you go. I generally botched this. My plan was to trim the decals so they did not cover any part of the hinge (the matte plastic parts, basically.) Thankfully, the backside decal is already cut in this fashion. I was too lazy to stop at a hobby store on my way home from school and buy a balsa wood razor, so I tried using a regular double-sided razor refill from my bathroom. Yeah these things are beyond paper thin (the razor, not the decal,) bend really easily, and I basically hosed it up a little bit by carving a very unstraight line across the top. It's nearly invisible in the picture, but in person, on a scale from 1 to 10 (where 1 is "completely unnoticeable" and 10 is "glued case cutouts onto the top of my N3DS to store game cartridges") it's about a 4. It just looks like a light scratch, thankfully. I use awesome razor blades and cut myself in the process, suffering for fashion as it were.  The back I hosed up a lil just by removing it halfway on and reapplying it, which the instructions tell you pretty much not to do, since it may stretch the decal. I stretched it a little bit, but the only place where it's noticeable is along the bottom -- who cares.  However it now feels way better in the hand compared to that awful glossy slick poo poo Nintendo made the N3DS shell out of. However, instead of being a fingerprint (and grime) magnet, it's now a skin oil magnet (I got the matte finish.) You can already see the oil on the backside decal, from where I picked the drat thing up one time and brought it into my room to take this picture. The overall quality of the decal itself is great, but the print could be a smidge better. Of course, this could be the fault of the guy who created this skin, but if you look really closely (in person,) the Hylian crest is ever so slightly blurry. It's also not a 1:1 copy of the real faceplate. The creator cleverly (or forcibly) made the "text" below the emblem wider than it is on the faceplate in using a custom Hylian font in Photoshop, but literally no one will notice this ever.

Oh, a cool use of all that extra Decalgirl material (I didn't use the second skin that's included to cover the inside plastic) -- trace a dime, cut out inside the line, and apply to your circle pad for the lightest of grip. Of course it's really difficult/impossible to get it cleanly on there so it ends up looking like a bottle cap, but the adhesive sticks well to the main dimpled area. Plus, you're kind of protecting the circle pad from hundreds of hours of your thumb grinding sweat, oil, and dead skin cells into it.

Throne of Bhalz posted:I did enjoy Persona 3 and 4, but if the underlying gameplay isn't there, I'll give it a pass. Is the story at least good? I'd probably enjoy it if writing was solid. The story is somewhere between OK and good. It really picks up in the last quarter or so. The writing is quite similar to Persona 3 and 4, except many characters' personalities are really piled on too thick -- Teddie takes his few sexual innuendo moments from Persona 4 and turns into a giant pervert for the entire game, Kanji is frequently called out (and calling himself out) for being in the closet or effeminate or whatever he's supposed to be, Chie cares way more about meat and way less about kung fu, Mitsuru is tsundere as a motherfucker like never before, and literally everybody (even Ken) picks on Junpei for being an idiot, to the point where he basically sounds like he's going to kill himself unless you bring him in your party. It's almost as if the writers were like, OK, there may be people playing this who haven't played Persona 3 and/or 4, so let's really flesh these characters out way too much. I liked the gameplay, but didn't like the constant in-out-in-out with the stylus. This will probably be exponentially more frustrating on a New 3DS, where taking the stylus out and putting it back in is way more involved than it needs to be. I think by a certain point, I just started bracing the stylus between two free fingers while playing -- you use it a LOT. Get one of the Etrian Odyssey 4 demos and see if you can get into the style, because Persona Q plays just like it. However, if you like the Persona series, you'll probably like it no matter what. I put about 80 hours into Persona Q (without even doing a lot of the side quests) and it had me hooked to the end, which I rarely get out of a game. enojy fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Mar 6, 2015 |

I got a shipping confirmation for the N3DS XL cradle from Nintendo's store today. Check your orders. I kinda expected it to get canceled; I had a feeling they got swamped with orders, much like the way the old 3DS XL cradles sold out from Club Nintendo in under an hour. That, and it's a Nintendo product in 2015, the year of Buy Up All The Nintendos.
