GRINK HELCH posted:I'm getting the AC 3DS XL, what does the transfer exactly do besides allow me to access my old games (which is not a big deal in the first place) and can I still use my old SD card on that old 3DS? You have to use the original SD card in the new system. After the transfer, it tells you to put the old card in the new system, I think because the licenses for downloaded software don't transfer. You can put the AC 3DS' memory card in the old system, though. Not sure if it's in options, but you can see how many  BLOCKS your card has left whenever you download something from the store.e: clarification Soul Glo fucked around with this message at 05:11 on Jun 6, 2013 |

Oh, hey, so I thought of another question that would be really great to get the answer to before I dive in. If I pick up a Japanese 3DS LL, when I come back to the states, will I be able to access the Japanese e-shop (or whatever analogue) from America? It shouldn't matter, should it? Edit: VVVVV Awesome, thanks. BambooEarpick fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Jun 6, 2013 |

If you buy a JP 3DS you'll be stuck with the JP eShop, there's no way to change it. It's not IP-locked or anything.

There's some basic email sign-in stuff for the linkage, and then you can just hold off on registering the code that came on the little paper insert. I thought linking it registered it automatically, but I might be thinking of the Wii U or misremembering or something.

If I bought an XL and kept my old 3DS, could I start two separate towns in Animal Crossing (if I only buy one copy)? I'm confused about how saves work on 3DS, and even if I did fully understand I remember reading Animal Corssing saves are going to be a little different.

If you bought the physical cart then no since the saves are stored on the cart itself. If you got the digital version you would have to buy it twice since it can only be on one system at a time.

Are any games (Puzzle, or whatever) unplayable without having the 3D on? When I buy my 3DS, I plan on keeping it off all the time (because I can't see the 3D effect anyways), so I wanted to know if there's any games to avoid.

I keep the 3D off for pretty much every game except a couple where it's used really well like Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 3D Land, so you'll be fine. It's never necessary.

You can't view the 3D effect from anything but a head-on viewpoint, so you can't tilt or turn the console to peek behind things, and I can't think of a game where the 3D is needed for gauging distances. Mario 3D Land is a little easier with it on, but the shadow Mario casts is more than enough to gauge where you're going to land.

Speaking of Super Mario 3D Land, is it common to have like 140 lives by the time you're at the end of World 8? I'm playing this as well as the VC version of Super Mario Land and the difficulty/amount of extra lives available is astonishing between the two. Not saying that 3D Land isn't fun, I'm having a blast.

The NSMB and Galaxy games in particular really throw a lot of lives at you. They can't get rid of lives in Mario games though because the 1UP mushroom is kind of iconic at this point.

I've never had a problem with any game with 3D off. After 2 years of ownership I think I've only had the 3D effect on for 10 minutes total. Even the most minor setting at any viewing angle/distance just looks blurry and weird to me.

Yeah, ever since Mario 64 the lives have been vestigial; they're just there so you feel good when you find a secret 1-up shroom. They should find a new feature for the 1-up shroom, because lives are entirely worthless. Think about Mario 64, what was the difference? Die with extra mans, you get kicked out of painting. Die with no extra mans, you get kicked out of painting, back outside. OH NO you have to walk inside. gently caress.  Awesome! posted:So I pretty much have everything I want for current 3ds games I think. What are some DS games I should get since I didn't have that system? I already have Chrono Trigger, FF 4 and Bowser's Inside Story. I am thinking of getting The World Ends With You and Castlevania Order of Ecclesia and am open to any other suggestions. I never had a DS either and have been going DS crazy lately picking up all the games I missed on my 3DS. I may catch some flak for this, but I actually find the gimmicky DS games to be really refreshing versus the same old boring genres I've played a zillion times on PC. So I'm having a blast with Trauma Center and Cooking Mama and Ghost Trick. Yeah, I'm seriously addicted to cooking mama. I can't loving stop. I got the 3DS version but I like the DS one better. If you have friends Mario Party DS is hella good, and you can play the ENTIRE game off download play with 1 cart between friends. Advance Wars both Dual Strike and Days of Ruin are amazing, although similar in gameplay to Fire Emblem on 3DS. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney is super unique but kinda frustrates me because sometimes what you're supposed to do isn't obvious. Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver is the best one they've made since Red/Blue, much better than Black/White or Black2/White2 IMO. There's lots of great Castlevanias if that's your jam. GTA Chinatown wars is surprisingly long and detailed. Mario 64 DS is the same great Mario 64, with a few minor upgrades. Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Jun 6, 2013 |

So, there's a problem. I downloaded the Project X Zone Demo and I have a question: Is this how the Super Robot Wars games play like? Because there's some mega-dorky switch in the back of my head that apparently got flipped to on and drat. The only time one of my units got KO'd was on the first playthrough. I know it looks like the battles could drag on and on and on from those screenshots shown a few pages back but after I got the hang of the support and solo functions (like, on the 2nd fight) the game started making so much drat sense it felt weird. I was wiping the floor with the Aya-me lady like nobody's business. Also, and for some reason, seeing Ryu and Ken teaming up like bros once more brings a goofy smile to my face, the likes of which I haven't produced since I first saw that old Street Fighter II movie back in the 90's.  Seems like Super Robot Wars might be up my alley. Also, the music, despite how schizophrenic it can get with all the character changes, seems really cool. Ryu's and Kurt/Riela's themes pumped me up to a degree where I kinda wanted to reach for my old Hagström.

This is exactly how Super Robot Wars plays, complete with random characters in nonsensical situations and tons of anime dialogue; except Super Robot Wars auto resolves damage, like Advance Wars or Fire Emblem, you just see a really pimp animation of the gundams fighting with no control over it. (Again, think Advance Wars) You get to pick from several different attacks, and they all have a really sweet ultimate attack just like in Project Crossu Zone where it uses actual animation of those characters and not just sprites, but you just select them from a list like Final Fantasy Tactics, there's no real time button mashing action. That's new to Crossu Zone as far as I know. (And a pretty cool idea)

Random Club Nintendo question: If I buy a 2nd 3DS for my wife, can I claim it under my club acct and would there be any benefit to NOT doing that? Like if down the road, she wants to download games from the e-store, etc. since I assume you can't have access to e-store content on two different devices. The reason I'd want to register it in my club acct is because I know she won't care about the rewards.

They're pretty different, really. Somebody else said they were the same, but only in the sense of map layout, enemy and ally units sometimes popping up in the middle of matches, grid-based maps, etc. Actual combat in Super Robot Wars is as active as Fire Emblem: pick an attack and watch it roll. You can also choose to just skip attack animations and just watch numbers pop up if the levels get too large. Just ask yourself if this is what you want out of your strategy RPG gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUZjXt__Lm4

I'm going out of the country for three weeks in three weeks; what would be a good 3DS game to take with me? I'm leaning towards Awakening because it's supposed to have a solid amount of content (on top of being really good).
