So there I am, welcoming new folks into my Mii Plaza, happily getting puzzle pieces off of them when suddenly my screen goes green and then my DS tells me my data is corrupt and is deleting it. I then only have five or so complete puzzles, all the others are gone. gently caress this poo poo, I am done doing the loving puzzle crap. I've never had issues with corrupt data until Nintendo released that goddamn new Mii Plaza.

ZeeBoi posted:Mii Plaza Corruption ZeeBoi, you have my condolences. I've lost data before and it sucks the big one. It happened to me through no fault of my own and it can happen to anyone  Seriously though, call Nintendo. They are an amazing company. If you don't mind mailing your 3DS away, they can probably give you a bunch of completed puzzles and stuff. They've gone out of their way to help people when weird stuff like this has happened before. It wouldn't hurt to try! Call Customer Service and see about mailing your 3DS to a repair center. You might get your data back  edit: vvvvvvv Very glad your data came back!

Well, I tried turning my 3DS off and on again and all my puzzles are back. Whew... But now I get to live with the fear of it happening again. :|

I've never did Picrosses before (I just learned what a Picross is Mario Picross is actually a fantastic introduction to Picross, I got it on a whim when it came out on the eShop and it resulted in me developing a full-blown Picross addiction (couldn't play Picross 3D though, my spatial reasoning is crap).

Mario and Luigi: Has anyone else experienced the game soft-locking at some point? The game locked up on me in the second giant fight and it took quite a bit of fiddling to figure out how to force a power-off on the 3DS. Thankfully the second time through it worked without any problems and I didn't lose any progress, but it's a little worrisome.

A guy at work was telling me he had the game soft lock on him coming out of a pipe somewhere in the early game and cost him a decent chunk of playtime. I've been saving more often, maybe there'll be a patch if its kinda widespread?

Bought New Super Mario Bros 2 and Luigi's Mansion the other day. I don't know if it's because the game vomits lives at you or because I 100%ed NSMB Wii not that long ago, but I cleared about 95% of NSMB2 in about a day. I've got some coins left, but I've cleared the game, the secret world, and found every stage. I kinda feel like I got ripped off, somehow. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon is a huge improvement on the original a lot of ways, including being not nearly as short. There are a few things I miss from the original, even though I wasn't impressed by it at the time, such as Luigi's fear level varying with how clear a room was, even affecting his calling out for Mario. But overall this one is a lot more fun, and sectioning the game into missions takes out a bunch of backtracking and makes treasure hunting more manageable. I wish they'd added more gameplay mechanics as the game went along, because they gave me all my tools very early on and the difficulty didn't really ramp up much as the game progressed. A few more ghost-hunting gadgets or upgrades woulda been neat. Overall I liked Luigi's Mansion quite a bit, but I feel like NSMB2 was a waste of time and money. I'm gonna buy Mario and Luigi: Dream Team soon. It's the year of Luigi, baby!

I missed a couple combat challenges in the first castle in Mario and Luigi, because enemies didn't seem to respawn. Will they? I'm also afraid it will be impossible to get the dodge challenge, because my speed and power are so high I'll one shot anything.

Enemies do respawn, but I don't know what triggers it. You just might have to wait a while for them to respawn. But if you keep going, you should encounter more of them later. As for getting the dodge challenges, while you can't waste turns with Fleeing and then cancelling anymore, you get an item later on that forces the enemies to get a few turns just so you can dodge them.

I am not believing how some of these street pass relays in downtown Chicago have no Mii's at them by now... yet the random Starbucks I visited in the northern suburbs does. Thing is it did take me a good minute of being within the Nintendo Zone to get the street pass. I'm assuming the relay stations are not acting quick enough to get the people walking by normally?

If you didn't play the original version, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is pretty awesome. Rayman Origins is available for the system, too, but I hear that it's a pretty terrible port and pretty much any other version is preferable if you have the option.

njsykora posted:Come back when you've 100%ed star road. Is that the secret world with Dry Bowser? Because I got 3 moon coins on all stages but two on my first run through it. I'll probably go back and get the rest of the star coins and moon coins eventually, but after 100%ing NSMB Wii only got me a limp "congrats" pop up box, I'm really not in much of a hurry. I mean, it wasn't a bad game, but just like every New Super Mario Bros game, it was a very shallow experience (with awful sound design).

PerrineClostermann posted:Too late now, it's sold out. Looks like a lot of people had the same idea. Oh, that's too bad. Still, even at the full fare of twenty bucks (12 in Japan since it's only on download), one can get a ton of mileage out of Freakyforms. The first one, priced at 7 bucks or so, I put nearly 300 hours into it. FFDX, which I only bought this spring (Japan got it last), has so far eaten around sixty hours of my time, even though I have tons of other great games going entirely neglected (FE, 999, Virtue, Pikmin 3... The list keeps growing).

Bleh, well hell I already played and 100%-ed that on the Wii when it came out (great game, though). Why has Nintendo not put out an honest-to-goodness 2D Mario platformer that doesn't seem like some weaksauce spinoff in loving ages?

Lurdiak posted:I mean, it wasn't a bad game, but just like every New Super Mario Bros game, it was a very shallow experience (with awful sound design). The big draw for me was the Coin Rush mode, especially the DLC for the high difficulty stages. This only really applies if you enjoy speedrunning/score attack games, though, and it seems like that's what the game was really meant for. In theory, streetpassing with the game gives you an incentive to beat the scores of people you passed. In reality, everybody you streetpass is terrible and you will beat everybody's score with no effort. I feel sorry for those people that attempted to beat my scores. But yeah, of the four NSMB games, I'd say it's ahead of the first, but behind the two console games. I wasn't going to buy it as early as I did, but Coin Rush mode and harder DLC stages convinced me otherwise. Hard for me to recommended it to anybody.

Genpei Turtle posted:Side question--are all the Rune Factory games really wonky when it comes to balance? My first experience with that series is Rune Factory 4 and while it's enjoyable enough, the way certain things work seems really weird. Like for example, just through normal play, my levels shoot through the stratosphere way higher than the "recommended" levels for the areas I'm hitting. Despite that, even though I'm crafting the best stuff I can and nothing can really kill me, it seems like it still takes a million hits to kill anything. And other characters are nigh-useless because unless they're literally always with you, their levels will be so much lower than yours that they can't even scratch enemies, even when you kit them out with nice equipment. If you are at least semi-competent at dungeon crawlers, you will always be ahead of the curve in Rune Factory dungeons. They tend to make it pretty simple so the people who aren't so adept at that type of game can still enjoy the whole package. In some titles like Frontier they throw in some hard dungeons at the very end, but in most of the titles the only things that can really hold you back are seasonal and/or crop locks. It sounds like you're not using the right elements on some enemies, but RF4 hasn't come out here yet and I did not import it, so I can't speak for that title in particular.

Nintendo updated their 3D Image Share service - it now supports images from Style Savvy Trendsetters and Crashmo, and will support Art Academy at some point in the near future: https://i.nintendo.net Monkey Fracas posted:Alright, so NSMB and NSMB2 aren't worth the time of day- I need a good 2D action-platformer. In terms of 3DS, there aren't really many options when it comes to 2D platformers - NSMB2 and DKCR are at the top of the list, and Sonic Generations isn't too bad, I suppose, but that's pretty much it. Even if you broaden the list to include sidescrolling action games in general it's pretty small - Shinobi, Adventure Time and Castlevania Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate, but even those come with big caveats, and that's ignoring all the garbage like Epic Mickey. I will say that you definitely shouldn't hesitate on Mario 3D Land, even if you don't generally enjoy 3D Mario games, as it definitely captures the feel of a 2D game. The eShop has a few decent sidescrolling games (Mighty Switch Force, Steamworld Dig, Gunman Clive,ports of Cave Story/VVVVVV, etc) but most of 'em tend to feel kinda half-baked. There's always the Virtual Console, which has a decent selection of classic NES/Game Boy sidescrollers (all the NES Mega Man games, Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, Blaster Master, GB Bionic Commando, most of the classic Nintendo stuff).

Would be cool if the spotpass hotspots could store multiple passes for people in smaller towns.
