Strange Quark posted:Is the 3DS charger the same as the DSlite's? I'm going to have to buy one eventually to use whenever I'm in Malaysia because of the different outlet plug and I know I can at least find the latter. No, they have a different end, so a DS Lite charger won't physically fit in a 3DS. A DSi charger will fit in a 3DS, but I don't know if they have the same voltage or not. (I would assume so, otherwise Nintendo probably would have changed the end to keep people from frying their systems.)

I think KH3D's drop system would have been slightly more tolerable if, when you let yourself drop during a boss fight, it didn't get all its HP back. The game keeps track of your HP value (which caused me to die a lot when I dropped and forgot I was almost dead with the other guy), so it should keep track of bosses too. Alternatively, turn off the drop meter during bosses. Basically, just make it so when you drop it's only annoying, without also erasing progress and adding an extra layer of lovely design.

Some people can play Kid Icarus with absolutely no control issues whatsoever, some people get used to them after a few stages, and some people never adjust and the game is ruined for them. I never had any issues with the controls, but I think because that third group exists and is made up of more than two or three people, you can fairly consider the controls a failure.

Oxxidation posted:Nintendo tends to have a very generous attitude towards system repairs and returns. It's not totally unbelievable. I once sent a DS Lite in to be repaired after one of the shoulders broke off. They fixed it for free, and sent it back with a note that said "We actually charge for these sorts of repairs, but we'll make an exception this time."

Nuts and Gum posted:I'm playing Ocarina of Time and in the first dungeon I'm at a point where I need Deku Seeds for my slingshot, but I'm completely out. There's only two pots nearby that I've been spawn killing, but they never drop anything. Is it normal in this game to just quit the dungeon and go back to town for supplies, or should I be able to find what I need when I'm out and about? My shield broke and my wallet is full, so it seems like a good idea, but I don't want to lose my progress. Deku Seeds normally come out of grass you cut and enemies you kill. I'm not sure if pots can even drop them. But you can safely go back to town for supplies without worrying about your progress, any doors you've opened or puzzles you've solved will stay as they are, so at worst you'll have to run through a couple of already solved rooms to get back where you were.

Katana Gomai posted:If you're going to reset when you lose someone, why do you not play casual mode? Casual mode completely changes the strategies you can make and as an extension, how the game is played. In classic mode you have to treat every unit as important, but in casual you can safely send units on suicide runs because they'll just come back after the battle anyway.

kirbysuperstar posted:How the hell did you manage that. I just beat it now in 28 hours (I only go the game last Monday oh god), and that was with lots of support convo/MARRIAGE AND BABBIES grinding. 28 hours seems really fast if you did support grinding. Did you skip some paralogues or turn off animations? It took me something like 40 hours to beat the game, but I left animations on the whole time (with sped up movement) and every eligible woman on my team had a kid.

Perfect Potato posted:You might be projecting your own Alpha Protocol persecution complex a bit here since I don't actually have much of a problem with the Awakening thread and besides one bizarre "series grognards" comment from someone the discussion has been fairly friendly and cordial. Yeah, never save in a puzzle room (this includes any time you enter a puzzle room during a novel section) and you shouldn't get the save bug. I would also make sure to save whenever it looks like you're about to enter a puzzle room, because sometimes they crash the game, and you wouldn't want to lose an hour of progress because you hadn't saved in awhile. I really liked the English voice work, personally. I think it's better than the Japanese version, if only for Zero III, because you can tell her voice actor had a ton of fun with the character.

Does anyone know why two 3DSes will just randomly decide not to street pass each other for a day? It happens pretty often, a friend and I will both have our 3DSes and we'll both get street passes from other people, but we won't street pass each other all day. But then the next time we see each other, we'll street pass each other just fine.

FrickenMoron posted:Guides wont give me better controls though. Amazaon generally gives a 14 day refund on almost anything, I'm not sure if they do software too now but I can try if I don't like it I guess. I'm not familiar with Amazons policy, but most places won't offer a full refund for opened games, they'll only exchange for another copy of the same game. This is to prevent people from buying games, ripping the data, and then returning the game for a refund.

Nuts and Gum posted:I really liked it...the swapping between 2d and fps thing really clicked with me. You know, I never understood how people had trouble with that mechanic, because it all worked perfectly for me. Until I got a bigger TV, and now whether I put the sensor bar on top of it or beneath it, it's awkward to find the cursor initially. This isn't a problem for any other game, you find the cursor once and then never have to worry again. But in Other M it makes first person mode a gigantic pain in the rear end, because I have to point in some weird direction to get the sensor bar to pick up my remote, then I switch back to third person, and then I have to find it all over again the next time I go first person.

Zonko_T.M. posted:I love 3D Land but I've also had problems with dying because I couldn't tell what depth Mario (or more often Luigi) was at and would miss a jump. Nintendo expects you to solve this problem by turning the 3D up. Of course, that's not an option for everyone, and turning 3D off can make the game a lot harder sometimes.

Fellatio del Toro posted:Did I somehow miss it or does the 3DS not give any sort of low battery warning? The blue power LED on the bottom of the system turns red, and I want to say the Spotpass LED flashes red for a second, but I may be mistaken on that one. The way you hold the system may be covering the power LED, I've definitely not noticed my battery going dead because my hand was blocking the LED. That's how it works with the original 3DS model, at least. No idea if they changed it for the XL.

Blackbelt Bobman posted:Ages is also more colorful, whereas Seasons has that drab and awful Underworld. And the loving dance minigame Ages has a dance minigame too. I want to say it's literally copy-pasted from Seasons with Gorons instead of Subrosians, but they might have changed it up a little bit. Ages also has a ton of other, equally terrible minigames and loads of tedious quests like that goddamn island near the beginning.

BadAstronaut posted:Any trip reports for the newly released Oracle Zelda games? Are there any advantages to buying on 3DS eshop considering I already have the old gameboy color version? Other than being able to play it on the 3DS of course... Are there GBA dungeons? How does one transfer content between seasons and ages? None of the GBA content (which I think was just a store) is active in the eShop version for some nonsensical reason. You transfer content through a password system where one game gives you a password to enter into the other game.

BambooEarpick posted:So, when I get my 3DS, should I wait until next month to register it? Does that mean I can't buy anything from the e-shop until next month too? I want to maximize my Nintendo Club points so I can get to plat. I would definitely wait to register your 3DS/link it to your Club Nintendo account, because it's worth like, 200 coins. You can sign into the eShop and purchase things without linking it to an account, but be warned that you won't get any Club Nintendo coins for purchases made while your 3DS isn't linked up. If there's nothing you want to play right away, and you want to maximize coins earned toward next year's platinum status, hold off on doing anything eShop related until next month, and then link your account to your 3DS and buy whatever you want.

Amppelix posted:Don't get Metroid II, it sucks and is bad. Play this thing instead whenever it comes out. Alternate opinion: Metroid II is pretty fun and you should play it. (Disclaimer: I'm a huge Metroid fanboy and I also like the NES game, which I actually do think is terrible and no reasonable person should get enjoyment from it, yet I enjoy it anyway.) There's no map, and the game is a little linear (which kind of fixes the "no map" problem), but if you can get past those shortcomings, it's a fun little game. It's kind of in-between Metroid and Super Metroid in terms of features. They introduced crouching and a couple upgrades like the Space Jump, but your moveset isn't as varied and flexible as it is in Super Metroid.

Earlier some people were worried about the Wii Fit Trainer and Animal Crossing dude not being in the 3DS version of SSB4. I just went into the eShop and checked the "3DS Trailers" category, and both their announcement videos are in there. Of course, all SSB4 videos could be categorized as trailers for both Wii U and 3DS regardless of content, but it at least inspires some confidence.

Detective No. 27 posted:I got stuck at that Desert Spider thing or whatever it is. I think I'd be willing to sit down and finish the game if I knew a strategy against it. Make your party Stocke (of course), Raynie, and Marco. Aht and Eruca are very fragile and are difficult to keep alive in this battle, and since it takes up all 9 squares, Aht can't use traps so her usefulness is severely limited. Have Marco cast Magic Up on Raynie, and poison the spider with either Raynie's Poison Strike or with a Poison Wing item. Focus mainly on keeping yourself alive (the poison will eventually get it to 1 HP if you wait long enough). Whenever you feel comfortable attacking, try to strategically change turns and use Mana Bursts to give you a large combo, then have Marco use all of his turns casting Trans-Turn with Raynie, so that only Raynie and Stocke get turns (if Raynie's buff has worn off, have Marco recast at the start of the combo). Alternate between G-Fire with Raynie and Double Slash with Stocke, and you can deal quite a bit of damage, which will make the fight go much more quickly than waiting for the poison to get its HP to 1. Here's a video of it I made awhile back. I made a few mistakes, but it might help anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMjlc8Qrwj0

Zaphod42 posted:The 3DS is painful for anybody who isn't a small child. The XL is so much better, as a combination of larger size and more rounded edges. I've got absolutely enormous hands and I've never had a problem with the 3DS cramping them, even playing Kid Icarus without the stand for two or so hours at a time. Not to say that I don't believe the 3DS could hurt someone's hands, but it's totally possible for a giant of a person to play it comfortably for extended periods. I'm actually a little curious about how other people hold it so that it causes hand pain.
