I often see questions about moving the contents of an SD card to a larger one, but it's surprisingly difficult to find information about maintaining two SD cards with different games on each. There's nothing on Nintendo's support site on the subject either. Is it as simple as putting a new blank SD card in the console and start downloading games into it? Is something going to happen to streetpass/spotpass information for games that are on the second SD card?

I recently got an eShop giftcard for $20, but scratched the thing on the back too hard and it took half of the numbers off making it unreadable. Does anyone have experience with this? Just want to know if I should waste time on customer service call or just let it go.

How unreadable exactly? I've had similar issues before but if I just looked really carefully I could basically figure it out.

That's not I'm trying to do, though - I simply am about to run out of room on my (16GB) SD card, and want a second one for more games. That's what happens when you go all digital and buy a lot of full-sized games.

I ordered it over the weekend when it said 2-3 weeks and suddenly I get an email with a shipping update yesterday telling me that they can deliver it by the 30th. Amazon says "Shipping Now" for me. I imagine they're like, scraping together stock hidden away in various warehouses or something. I have no idea. Or they got re-stocked but only enough to fulfill a partial amount of outstanding orders. Or the store page hasn't been updated to reflect stock or something.

KimT posted:Blue Shells are kind of necessary I think. When you're in first place, the only person who can hit you is the guy in second place, and the best item he'll get is a red shell. Red shells are totally ineffective though because in first place you get a steady stream of bananas and green shells to keep you safe from them. Plus if you keep an eye on the bottom screen and see what items people are getting, you can just slow down and let someone else get hit by the blue shell. (Or at least try to get someone else caught in the explosion) My beef with the blue shell is that it doesn't help the person that gets it. If you're in fifth, and get a blue shell, guess what? You're still in fifth. In MK7 you can hit other players with them too given some skillful positioning (or luck), but the fact of the matter is the person that benefits most from a blue shell is probably the guy in second or third. The problem is that the items you actually get in second and third suck, and the solution to me would be to give those positions stronger items. The fact that you can get bananas and tanooki leaves in fourth is complete garbage, and mushrooms seem really weak in this game so getting a mushroom is only advantageous if you're right by a potential shortcut when you get it. I mean, I get that it's Mario Kart and there's an element of chance to it, and MK7 is much better about balancing skill and luck than, say, MKWii, but it feels to me that there needs to be an alternative way to rein in players that are ahead like that.

Okay, so I just dug through a bunch of crap to get up to 650 coins to get myself to platinum status. Does this mean I get rad poo poo on June 30th when they reset their year? Do all my coins go away? I have more stuff to register, but I seem to remember from a while back that it was more worth it to get yourself to platinum, wait for the calendar to flip, and THEN register stuff. To keep this on topic, I was considering the Art Style game they've got up. Is it any good?

Actually the club nintendo chat has me curious. I've been a Nintendo fan all my life and never actively participated in club nintendo, so this year when I wanted to get in on one of the 3DS promotions I went and registered every product I owned and could find a code for (depressingly few, considering the sheer amount of Nintendo games and systems I own). As a result, I made it to just below platinum pretty effortlessly - AC will push me over the edge. I remember occasionally reading about platinum rewards and being jealous, but I'm not entirely sure how the system works. Does being platinum automatically get me whatever the year's prize is, or does it just give me the ability to spend my coins on it (and thus miss out since I grabbed some digital games with mine)? Also, what sort of prize are we usually talking about?

ConanThe3rd posted:Urgh, I really wish Nintendo would get the gently caress over itself in regards to this nonsense and just implement a cloud based account system already. I think that system is only in place for animal crossing and not for any other 3DS game that I know of but I agree Nintendo should really make the purchases tied to the account.

Bottom Liner posted:So if I download a game and lose a memory card I'm hosed? No the games are tied to the 3DS not the SD card but you will lose your save data. So if you lose your SD card and get another one you can redownload the game again from the eShop free of charge.

EDIT: also should point out that Platinum status uses a cumulative coin total for the year, so you can still spend coins on rewards and stuff during the year and not affect your climb toward Platinum.

I'm going to download Animal Crossing so hard when it comes out. Are there any other things besides VC stuff that are good to buy on the eshop and download? I was thinking of purchasing vvvvvvv because I never played it on my PC, sounds like it'd be a better experience on the 3DS.

pushmo and crashmo are must buy eshop titles. Gunman Clive is cool and worth the couple bucks. Minis on the move has lots of content for the price and the puzzles are very challenging.

I've done this once and it was by accident. The timing window for it to work is so slim it's not worth trying most of the time when it's better use a mushroom to just get back up to speed when the smoke clears.
