I finished AC4 on the PS3 last year; rebought it on sale for the PC this year; planned to test how it should have looked with my shiny new graphics card; then i lost my whole Christmas to it collecting every pointless treasure chest. I think it's clear which kind of person i probably am.

So the Gateway 3DS updated for 9.2 firmwares. One of the extra features is an option to downgrade to 4.5 firmware where all the fun stuff is happening (CFW, region free, emunand, etc)

Well my theory of 3ds XL portability being directly correlated to your weight has been proven correct. In June I was 270 pounds and wrote a 44. 3DS XL fit support comfortably in my pants. Am 208 now and just today started comfortably wearing size 36. My 3DS XL ain't going in these pockets. So I'm definitely getting a New 3DS normal size. I can't carry my XL without a bag now, because of one word trick invented by a mom, videogamers hate her!

What other stuff do you cram into your pockets instead of carrying a backpack/bag like practical people?

It may have been said, and I'm sorry for missing it, but does the whole ambassador program imply that the New 3DS will be commercially released relatively soon? What's been the case for other ambassador programs?

It must be uncomfortable as gently caress trying to move around with all that stuff in there (not to mention a 3DSXL too  ), never mind when you might have to switch up to a quick sprint for some reason.edit: Messenger bags are insanely practical and can even feel like they're not there at all if you get a good one. Stop stuffing so much poo poo into your pockets.

Yes, it'll be out soon; they were clearly just waiting until after the xmas holidays to shift as much old stock as they could before announcing the n3DS. All signs point to a mid/late February release, alongside Majora's Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4. PaletteSwappedNinja fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Jan 11, 2015 |

In reality I have my cell phones wallet, and ds if I'm moving around. I keep most stuff with my lunch in my Pikmin tote. I've got a bag of holding for a messenger bag, I typically only use it as my airplane carry on but it would probably be well suited for every day use.

More news about XSEEDquote:There likely will be more games in 2015 than the ones we're teasing. This probably isn't our entire year's lineup. I think the extra question marks represent the possibility of other 2015 titles down the line. Hatsuu's tweet is more to keep you guys from killing yourselves trying to find meaning in background patterns that are literally just background patterns. So we're kind of back to square one BUT, that means there's still hope for Deep Crimson!!!

Probably because the GBA emulator on the 3DS was held together with a hope, a dream, and the goodwill of Mario.

I'm about 90% sure this is backwards. That the 3DS doesn't have any GBA-ready hardware in it and it's almost purely emulation for each specific title. e: Or I guess I misread the post. Anyway, I think the 3DS is using what's present for the DS to downclock it to play GBA games (which is essentially why you can't do anything aside from play GBA games while on a 3DS) but it's more or less utilizing what made the DS something that could play GBA games as opposed to anything from the GBA.

Also they decided to sell you GBA games on the Wii U instead. You can get Super Mario World on the Wii U VC, and you can also get the GBA version of Super Mario World on the Wii U VC. It makes pretty much no sense, it seems obvious they wanted to get them on the 3DS and for whatever reason it just didn't work. I mention this a lot but I have a Dingoo A320 my wife got me which does GBA emulation flawlessly, I have an actual GBMicro and I prefer the Dingoo. SNES emulation can be spotty, and Genesis emulation is pretty rough. But for me the GBA side of things was worth it. These days I imagine a phone can probably do the job better though

It's the same reason there's no gamecube compatibility on the Wii U. Despite it being theoretically possible (booting into Wii mode) it doesn't operate the way Nintendo wants that functionality to be available so they just cut it. It's bullshit but there's not a lot anyone can do about it without homebrew. NCL sure as poo poo ain't listen'.

Majora's Mask was the bundle I got with my N64 plus Smash. Seems I'll be doing the same thing with the 3DS. I wonder if they've got a Master's Quest type of thing going on for MM.

Smash Bros. doesn't take a straight minute to load and 3D becomes relevant because it actually functions. Downloads are also way loving faster and you'll eventually be able to play Xenoblade I guess. So if these things don't matter to you don't bother and just grab the regular one. If you intend to download a lot of your games I'd recommend it though, having downloaded things with both it's loving mind boggling that they limited the regular one's speed so much.

homeless snail posted:Its more powerful. System menu is smoother, downloads are faster, some games will perform better and some will be exclusive to the N3DS. Also it has 2 more buttons and an extra stick for CPP compatible games. You're also not stuck fiddling to find the 3D sweet spot. There's a head-tracking camera that's really good at refocusing it at the correct angle. I had to wave it aroundto get it lose me, and it refocused the moment I let it settle.
