The Unofficial 3DS thread

Been playing Majora's Mask and I gotta say I feel like the joy of exploration is taken away because of the three day cycle. I like to fully explore dungeons before the boss. Not be forced to hurry or else I'll have start completely over. I just got the Inverted Song of Time so hopefully that'll put me at ease some.
Once you use the Inverted Song of Time, it becomes much easier to manage. Majora's Mask dungeons are relatively shorter than most Zelda dungeons, too. Hope you get to do everything you want in the game now!

Oh yeah that song has def made things better. Onw thing I DO like about this better than Ocarina of Time is the notebook. I love bring able to keep track of quests.
 
Oh I forgot to rant about this: WHY THE f*** DIDNT NINTENDO INCLUDE A POWER CHARGER WITH THE NEW 3DS???!!! I got home with it ready to plug it in and play and notice that the manual said "charger sold separately." That might as well be a middle finger trap from EA. "Your battery is almost dead! Keep it alive for just $9.95!"

f*** THAT.

Agreed. I had an extra but this was really stupid by Nintendo. What's $10 to them is a huge inconvenience for the customer.
 
I had several finished PS3 games that i didnt need anymore, some Wii and a few 360 titles. I sold these to this game store, got a voucher and had to pay only 94 euro for this:

Not the New 3DS? Hmmm..so you don't mind not being able to play Xenoblade in April?

Well i was hoping for the new 3ds as my bday gift but person got the wrong system and i dont want to complain about it so i am happy with it, i will upgrade to the new 3ds later so i can play xenoblade most likely will not have money to buy many new games for awhile now anyway.

Ah yes, makes sense and is understandable. Plus you can play awesome games anyway, it's only Xenoblade so far that is only for New 3DS.

I played some A Link Between Worlds just now...and i already love it. I DO have to say though...that i need to get used to the analog AND C stick. The left stick is a bit too smooth so to speak, and my finger slips off too easily. And the the C stick...damn i wish it was a normal analog stick. But i'll adjust to it.

Xenoblade does look good and i will get it some time. Going to start up majoras mask i am glad that can be played on the older 3ds models i barely remember it so that will be cool, going to look into bravely default rpg game as well.

There's a demo of Bravely, i tried it and it looks damn good, but the game is not for me, simply because of the turn based combat, that's just not for me.

I think they took the demo down as i didnt see it last night, might try looking again though. I used to not like turn based rpg games either until knights of the old republic on the xbox then i started getting into them and like them quite abit now. i am trying to see what other rpg games are available on the 3ds.
 
Hmmm...it should be there man. There's also a Fire Emblem demo, you should try that one too.

I was hooked all night to my 3DS with the demo of Virtue's Last Reward. Never thought i'd like such a game, but it's great. I might buy it.

looked again and i still not seeing it, is there another section that has demos in it? cause the demo section i saw has like 10 demos, i did download monster hunter 4 ultimate though going to try that one out.
 
That's very odd. I have like 4 pages full of demos, a ton. Maybe it's my country? I choose Netherlands as my region and English as language i think, but i don't know if that matters. Try that. I have tons of demos, but i also found a demo of Monster Hunter 4 and Ironfall in the ''up to 3 euros'' section. There are many different sections. You can also try searching for Bravely Default and see what happens.
 
I did find the demo but had to search for it and they dont make it easy to do that. Also yeah us region only has 1 page of demos shown which sucks cause i dont know what other good demos are out there.
 
That;s damn weird, normally the US store on consoles and handhelds have more demos than The Netherlands. That sucks man. Well, there's demos of Virtue's Last Reward which i really enjoyed, i might buy it. But also demos of Pokemon, Rayman Origins, Kingdom Hearts DDD etc.

I actually tried using a different country and see what the store would be like..but Nintendo doesn't let you.
 
I did download demos of fire emblem, etrian odyssey 4 and heroes of ruin, all of which i had to search for but i did enjoy heroes of ruin kinda like a diablo game. Also looking into what other rpgs are available on the 3ds
 
Monster Hunter 4 might be my next 3Ds game. I am still plowing through Majora's Mask, though.

Anyone pick up Codename STEAM? Even GAF thread is dead so I imagine this game will tank.
 
My girlfriend bought me a New 3DS XL yesterday, loving it so far.

Games I got are:
Mario Kart 7
Super Mario 3D World
Donkey Kong Country returns 3D
Super Smash Bros

So is the new 3DS xl worth getting or save money and buy the original 3ds xl?

If you don't already have a 3DS XL just buy the "new" one. There are games that are out/coming out that will only run on the "new" version as it has upgraded hardware and added buttons. The UI runs MUCH smoother too.

Thank you for the answer.:)
 
Not sure why Nintendo doesn't have Super Nintendo games for Virtual Console. The current lineup for VC is pretty poor. I'd really love to play A Link To The Past, but it's only Wii U's VC.
 
We at the very least know they will be doing SOMETHING for the 20th anniversary of Pokemon.

That is a plush Pikachu based on its original appearance in the anime. Chubby and huggable.
