Is there a good decent case? I'm not really looking for a leather case or anything. Just something that will hold a few games and the DS for travel.

I'm hoping my $30 credit after buying SMT IV will go towards a copy of Monster Hunter so I'll need a bigger SD card too

There's a Club Nintendo reward for 30 coins that's a small blue or red cinch pouch, it works great for carrying just the system itself.

Oops you almost got away without your Diddy
Just beat Dream Team Bros. It says it took me 40 hours!! Doesn't feel like it at all - I wonder if that's just because its a fantastic game, or maybe it counted all the time I left it in pause/sleep mode on the Home menu?

Great ending, though. Lives up to the standards of the rest of the series. MAJOR SPOILERS: Really loved how they subverted my expectations of how the Antasma/Bowser union would end up - it was really great to see Bowser finally get a chance to be the final boss again, properly, without being possessed by something else. I actually cheered. Very Paper Mario, actually.


So, to anyone on the fence: get it get it. Far better than both of the DS games. Less frustrating gameplay than Superstar Saga, but I still think nothing can beat the original's crazy plot.

So I'm playing Flower Town, because I went out to my husband's work thing and actually got street passes that weren't him. (I like Flower Town the best; I'm bad at shooters.) And I some point, I unlock the ability to plant a seed with someone. As in, I do this, and the flower might grow into their favorite color---whatever their Mii is wearing.

So I picked a girl wearing black, cause black flowers are neat. And I plant the seed in the pot.

And she whips out a baster and jams it in my pot and injects it.

Y'all, I am pretty sure I just did lesbian gardening insemination. :toot:

You basically should just assume your 3DS is going to get 10/day unless you literally don't move. 1000 steps is like a walk around the block.

It turns out the new Treasure game that was talked about is being co-developed with Capcom: http://www.siliconera.com/2013/07/20/treasure-and-capcom-are-working-together

Not sure if this will be localized though, the details seem to point towards it being something Capcom would go "well, this isn't gonna work for the Western market" on like EX Troopers.

It definitely won't. It's one of those attempts at launching a cross-media franchise, like the ones Level-5 seems to announce every other week, and even the ones that aren't ultra-Japanese tend to stay in Japan for logistical reasons - publishers don't wanna release them internationally without also releasing the toy line or the anime or whatever, so there are a million more hurdles to jump over.

Also, it doesn't look very good.

Speaking of play coins I'm getting pretty sick of every single nerd I streetpass having one room filled with Nintendo poo poo with the Mario wallpaper and floors. They're all basically identical because there's only so many ways you can arrange a room full of fire flowers and turtle shells. Get creative, nerds.

I'm probably going to move my Nintendo stuff to a museum exhibit when I get the chance. That way I can have a sleek room where the Nintendo cave is.

I don't know about the train, but it doesn't really work in the car. I think it picks up some "steps", but I think I only got 1 or 2 coins out of a 2 hour car ride.

SMT4 doesn't have a PAL date at all, does it?

NISA did date the AU release for Etrian Odyssey 4 the other day: September 5, and it's even priced reasonably ($43AUD).

Email nintendo, they're pretty responsive about that exact problem.

If you wanna know just how good they are, here's my story. I emailed them last week asking if they could possibly register Fire Emblem: Awakening to my Club Nintendo account. A couple of days later, I'm looking at a Club Nintendo account with pending product registration surveys for all six of the games I bought before linking my 3DS to my account, some of which I'd forgotten I even bought. Talk about going the extra mile.

Style Savvy: Trendsetters (3DS) - $9.99
Steel Diver (3DS) - $4.99
Crosswords Plus (3DS) - $4.99

I'm not sure Crosswords Plus is even worth $5.

Why is that? I got my money's worth out of the NY Times Crossword collection for the original DS, how much worse is this?

Edit: I guess it's worth mentioning that Crosswords Plus is only $3.99 on Amazon. No free shipping, though.

That looks like the same engine as CrossworDS. I forget if I hated that because NY Times had better controls or because the DS was held sideways.

It's almost identical to the already-crappy CrossworDS for DS, complete with the same bugs and even most of the same crosswords, plus they had the temerity to charge $30 for it instead of $20. I think the character recognition may have even been worse.

I don't suppose if I just told Nintendo support I lost my Fire Emblem PIN insert they'd find some way to let me register it anyway? I posted before about this, but I bought a used copy before I knew about the eShop credit deal (or registered a Club Nintendo account, if that makes any difference), and it didn't have a box or anything with it. Does anyone have any idea?

Edit: VVV Yeah, I figured, but I thought I'd check and see if anyone had had a similar experience. Oh, well.

They're probably not going to be sympathetic since you bought it used, especially if the person before you registered it to their account.

Club Nintendo Japan have just thrown up a new reward - "THE YEAR OF LUIGI Sound Selection" - 50% off if you've registered Luigi's Mansion 2 / New Super Luigi U / Mario & Luigi Dream Adventure (forgotten the English name!) - I believe that the other soundtracks have made it to Club Nintendo US eventually so this may be something that some of you want to save up for.
(Turns out they actually have a proper page for it too at http://www.nintendo.co.jp/luigi/sound/index.html)
