My DSi is on its last leg and I'm thinking about trading it in to get a 3ds xl. Is now the time to do that, or should I wait a few months for another XL bundle to be released? Around the holidays they were pairing games with the price of it and now those bundles are really expensive. Are we going to see a price drop in the next few months? Or is it more likely that they will be bundling another game combo?

There are always going to be other game bundles. But it depends on you. Would you likely want whatever the game was? Is the potential saving worth waiting a couple of months? How important is it to save money versus having the XL now? There's no comparison between the DSi and XL, and I think the XL is a pretty good price already.

Not really in too much of a rush, I just wanted to cash in my trade in value for the DSi before it breaks. I figured there would be a universal price drop soon since they started releasing bundles.

I'm guessing homebrew is still out of the question?

I have a 3dsxl and I'm thinking of getting one for my wife for christmas. Is there some way to transfer our downloaded games like Animal Crossing onto her ds instead of mine? Is it possible to share games between the two 3ds's?

You can transfer poo poo with the system transfer which wipes the original 3ds. You can't share games unless they are physical carts.

So if I wanted to be a total poo poo heel I could get my wife the Zelda 3dsxl bundle, do a system transfer to it. Then use the online code to redeem zelda on my non limited edition lovely blue 3dsxl?

So did target retract it's $150 3ds xl for black friday? I can't seem to find anything on it now and it looks like the sites that posted those ads don't have it anymore.

You lucked out. NoA tweeted saying it should be only $50 off

Weird right? I didnt even have to argue. It rang up on price checker and at the register. Go forth and buy thread.

And they may be located at a different part of the store so keep your eyes out and maybe ask the front employee.

I was at the end of the line but grabbed the last zelda one and the only thing left was a single pink one.

No idea of the inventory at the othwr hot locations.

poo poo man, run before the other Black Friday shoppers finds out. They'll try to strike a claim to your gold with a mining pick to your skull!

Saw one guy holding 5 different ds's while his daughter picked which one she wanted. Other people were hoarding different colors as well.

That said the apple shoppers were the worst. I had to cut through the apple line to get to another part of electronics and there was nothing but icy stares and an old asain guy grabbed my sleeve and wouldnt let go until I told him I had no interest in ipods.

If this blog post (in Japanese) is any indication, Neverland - the company behind Rune Factories - just went bankrupt.

Is that going to have an impact on the price and availability of Rune Factory 4?

Best Buy ended up matching Toys R' Us for me. They were all out of Y even though I called in advance so they let me have X for $19.99. After grabbing Fire Emblem Awakening for $15 less than a week ago, I am pretty happy with Best Buy at the moment!

Makes me feel sad at how much I've dumped on BB in the past.

They too let me pick up Y for 19.99 but didn't make me buy any other games.

They would not let me have x instead.

So do MP Island Tour and Mario Kart 7 have any kind of local play across 1 cart? Am I limited by not having 2 carts between 2 ds's?

Also where can a person find a hori screen protector in stores?

So I'm trying to decide on either getting Bravery Default or Rune Factory 4. I know they aren't really comparable but I'm mostly interested in lasting value and something you can pick up and put down during a lunch break

Both have lasting value, though Run Factory is definitely the better lunch break game.

Fair warning though, its hyper anime.

Anime aside is it solid for replay as well? Are there time constraint bullshits like In harvest moon where you can't possivly win the contest this year?

More than 1 save file?

What is the cheapest way to pick up the Phoenix wright games and play through that series? It's a shame the Iphone collection never made it to android. I guess some companies just hate printing money. Any other plans to release a collection in the future? Do I need to play the previous phoenix games to get everything going on in the new game?

So I want to order Mario Golf from amazon but I don't want to pay shipping. So I'm looking for a game for my wife that will occupy her time while she lays around the house all 8 1/2 months pregnant.

She loves the grindy crap of doing everything from Animal Crossing and has all but stolen my copy of Rune Factory 4. What other game is out there that she might like? She's played all of the layton games except the newest one. I'd usually know this kind of stuff but I haven't looked at new and upcoming releases in a long time.

Does anyone have any thoughts about the new kirby game?

Is triple delux going to use that bullshit touchpad controls like the other kirby ds games had? I know I have a 3ds but the least appealing thing about it is using the stylus to move.

So I was able to pick up Project X Zone awhile ago for about 10 bucks. I don't know if that is a good deal or not.

Anyway, What is the deal behind this game? I know people mention it every now and again but I don't know how to put it in perspective. I tried the demo when it was first released but didn't want to pick it up until it was on sale.

Why did it take forever to get a sequel to Golden Sun and why did it suck so hard when it finally came out? I doubt the franchise will be able to recover since they basically torched every great storytelling quality from the first game for a timeskip with lovely protagonists.
