Am I like the only one who always has the slider at max? I really enjoy the 3d effect and it doesn't seem to give me a headache at all even after like 6 hours of monster hunter. Guess I'm just lucky in that.

I played all my games max as well, but with every game that I bought, my eyes had to get used to 3D for day. It will hurt my eyes a bit. After that, I can play it with no problems. Not too sure anyone else has this problem as well.

Yes, but it comes with a stand making the game less hurtful with your hands. You WILL have to play with the stand because how much action you will be doing with 3DS

I recently ordered a 3DS for my wife and had a question. She seems interested in the AR features, but I'm not sure the 3DS I ordered will come with the pack-in cards. (Like New, Amazon Warehouse)

I was wondering if some of the AR centric games are worth a look, Spirit Camera in particular. I've read its only a couple hours long, but it looks like about the best use of AR I've come across. Would it be a decent buy for $8-10?

I say yes for around that price, but you will need two things...

1. Desk Lamp with good lighting for the book because for some reason, its the only way to get the book detect certain things. My friend gave me his copy because of this reason. Could not get it working.
2. A chair that turn 360. You will be looking everywhere, including behind you, and chair made that game more fun.

The game can be complete in afternoon, if you can dedicate a day for it. Post-game, there small stuff that are fun (but it will not hold for long) like mini-games, missions, haunted house simulator, 2 extra costume (one of them will be extreme hard to get), and there is a AR Stage where you can poses with the main character/ghosts and take pictures. Its a nice AR Tech demo of what the system can do.

Also, the game barely scare me, but that just me and playing the main Fatal Frame games. If this your first game, I suggest grab extra/another better game because it will not hold on for long. The game logs tell me that I spend 11 hours on it.

Yes, if it's saved. Nope, it is tied to the system, plus if you save your CC info, it ask you to make a password for that info to prevent "accident" purchase. And it has a 3 strike system where it delete that info if you got the password wrong and you have to reenter your CC info again.

You are about mid point of the game, maybe 65%. Unless you are like me and try to do every single side quest as you can, you have a long road ahead.

Yes, buy the Hori screen protector and if you can, put small rubber bumpers on the top part of the screen to give it a bit more cushion, assuming you'll be carrying the XL in your pocket. I used small rubber bumpers that came with a router, otherwise you can find fairly small ones at places like Office Depot in the chair section.

Wouldn't a cleaning cloth in between the screens help? I have been doing that for a while, but damage is already done before I had the idea to do so. The lines are only noticeable on a white background.

I am a bit late for yearly stats, but here is mine. I had it since it was release and just recently upgrade to Zelda XL.

Steps: 897,950 step (Mostly from going to university and EVO in Las Vegas)
Play Time: 56 titles / 661:12


1.) Fire Emblem Awakening- 173:28
I am at the last stage of the game, but I want to do some of the side stuff before finishing it. It my first game for series. Very fun game and enjoy the characters. I am going back to play the old game that got from Ambassador program.

2.) Project X Zone- 108:04
I uhhhh actually like this game for the fan service (their interaction) for all the characters, however doing fights for 3+ hours is a bit too much. I maybe the only one in this thread that actually complete it. :v:

3.) Shin Megami Tensei IV- 80:44
Currently (and playing right now) on my list of stuff to finish and I'm close to the end. And for the life of me, I can't deal with it on normal difficulty and have to lower it down.

4.) StreetPass Mii Plaza
I bought the DLC stuff and it has increase the time that I play on it. Thanks to Pokemon and Zelda, my streetpass rate has increase a lot.

5.) Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney-Dual Destinies - 48:00
I am close to the end and need to get back to that. I am enjoying it and will get the DLC after completing the game.

6.) The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages- 26:21
Not much to say, but never play it as a kid and I enjoy it. I can't believe that I skip this and Season.

7.) Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon- 18:02
Because it's the year of Luigi!!!!

Overall, I am very satisfied with 3DS, despite having a rough start. I am already planning to get Bravely Default when it is release. I don't see the slowing down at all now!

Grab the EXP and Macca DLC. It considerably reduces the difficulty by letting you upgrade your equipment and fuse better demons basically at will.

So even though I read about this happening I couldn't figure out exactly when it was going to happen: the Virtue's Last Reward bug which wipes out your save.

Is there a way I could download and throw on my SD card a new save?

Not really (at least I believe so, I could be wrong), but avoiding saving the puzzle rooms. That is where the problem is. If you have the digital version, they "fix" the problem by disabling to save during the those parts.

I really enjoy Steel Diver: Sub Wars. The multiplayer feel like Submarine version of Counter-Strike without the bomb. The only problem I have with it is the random disconnect after a match which is not really a bad problem unless you are trying to do winning streak bonus.

I am already considering of buying the Premium Version.

Is registering a 3DS for that promotion different from the process to create an account that lets you use the eShop? I'm trying to determine if my grilfriend's console is eligible for the pokemon promotion (if we buy a game from that list anyways).

It's different. You just need to make a Club Nintendo account and link it to the system.

When it says the reward code for Pokemon X and Y expires on 5/31, can you redownload the game after that date? I am looking at buying my first Nintendo products in a few years just to play a new Pokemon game, so I have no idea how their digital distribution thing works.

It just saying the free game code itself will expire if you don't redeemed it in time. Once redeem, its yours to own. You should be able redownload again if you decide to delete it.
