I need some clarification on the whole eshop system. Purchasing a game through it locks that copy down to the handheld regardless of which Nintendo account is signed on to it, right? If I were to sell my 3DS in the future, would the new owner have access to those games as well even if I did a factory reset? I'm wondering how Nintendo's awful handling of digital downloads affects its resale value, since I can't take the games with me if I were to upgrade to a new handheld further down the road.

Unoriginal posted:You can do a system transfer if/when you sell it. You'll need them to both be physically present, but it transfers all licenses and friend codes and all the other stuff to your new system, effectively wiping the old one to factory defaults, I believe. So you can retain your games as long as you're immediately moving them to a new system. If you sell it and then buy a new one later, yes, they're gone. Yes, it's stupid. Laser Spider posted:Nintendo also allowed people to transfer software up from the DSi, so unless they cut off backwards compatibility sometime in the future then I think they'll keep letting you move your stuff up through the generations.

Has there been any media released showing Lego City Undercover on the 3DS? It's common knowledge that it's coming out for the system but all of the trailers and videos released thus far have been about the WiiU version.

I dunno why but I'm pretty excited that Harvest Moon GBC and Legend of the River King are coming out on Virtual Console. I'm also glad to see that HarmoKnight received a localization, and it's finally nice to have some news on 3DS' version of Lego City Undercover (even if there's the potential for it sucking big time like past 3DS versions of Lego games). And Animal Crossing: New Leaf looks amazing! Thank god they decided to de-emphasize Nook's aggressive real estate practices and just let you enjoy being mayor of the town.  Did someone mention that the Circle Pad Pro was coming out for the XL? I hope that's the case because I feel as though a game like Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate would be hard to control without a second analogue stick.

Katana Gomai posted:Yea it was confirmed for the EU; I really wish people would just outright not buy the Circle Pads so Nintendo figures out you can't just hamfist console design like that and get away with it (while making even more money due to the following upsale). Although I guess they'd just take that as a sign of "welp, guess no one needs a second stick after all!" v I'll still get the larger Circle Pad (if it ever comes out in the US  ) because I can't stand using the L or R buttons to adjust the camera.

katkillad2 posted:I mentioned it earlier, but if you really want one that bad for Monster Hunter you can import one from japan on Amazon and it will work for your XL. I paid 35 shipped for mine which I thought was pretty fair given the non-XL version is $20 dollars at gamestop. Saoshyant posted:They are not hamfisting anything. The Circle Pad is the Monster Hunter accessory and it has always been so. Nintendo created it at Capcom's demand. Note how Chibata is releasing it in Europe now because of Monster Hunter.

How long does it take for the post-play survey to pop up on Club Nintendo? I picked up Crashmo on sale last week in an effort to get over the 10-coin hump to Platinum, but it only gave me 5 play coins at the time of purchase. I really hope a second survey comes in because I'm running out of ways to nickle-and-dime my way to the top.

Nintendo's going to be talking about the new Smash Bros. in some kind of pre-E3 event. Am I remembering incorrectly, or did Nintendo say that the new Smash Bros. would be on the 3DS as well? I absolutely love SB (I finally bought a Wii when Brawl came out) but don't necessarily want to pick up a Wii U to play it.

Are there any SRPGs available for either the DS or 3DS that are very similar to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance? I've given up on ever seeing a third game, but I'm feeling the SRPG itch and don't know what to pick up to scratch it.

I just completed a zero-death run of A Link Between Worlds this morning. I largely enjoyed it, but it felt incredibly aimless and short compared to any of the preceeding LoZ games. For me, Zelda is all about the items and how they unlock additional exploration. Having access to every weapon from the outset reduced the joy of accessing a new part of the map because I didn't feel like I'd achieved anything to get there. Lorule enemies hit ridiculously hard, too, though picking up the blue tunic and L2 Master Sword skewed too far in the other direction and made trivial much of the content leading up to the end boss fight. Is there any end-game content to look forward to? Is there a different-colored tunic to pick up? I'll probably keep playing to try and get the last two pieces of Master Ore as well as the remaining 11 heart pieces, and I haven't experienced any of the StreetPass Evil Link functionality either. Edit: Holy crap, there are five bottles? I only found two. IAmKale fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Jan 30, 2014 |

I picked up Mario Golf World Tour completely on a whim during a Best Buy 2-for-1 sale, and though I've spent a couple of hours playing it I have some questions. Is there a driving range mode I'm not seeing? I've gotten used to the Manual controls but I'm still having a hard time targeting a particular section of the ball to hit while also timing the power gauge. I'm hoping there's a place where I can practice the Manual controls without going through an entire 18 holes. The main draw of the game the Clubhouse mode, right? when I first started the game I went straight to it and spent so much time there that I forgot there were other options on the main menu. The "Quick Play" mode or whatever it's called seems to strictly be challenges of skill for star coins, which I think tie back into Clubhouse mode to unlock additional courses? And what's the quickest way to unlock the gear? I receive a single piece after an entire 18 holes - based on the number of item slots in the shop it'll take hours and hours of grinding to unlock everything for purchase. I'm liking the game so far, but I am also interested in getting everything unlocked ASAP so I can mix-and-match my Mii's loadout

What are my options if I want to divest myself of my Nintendo 3DS but still retain all of my digital downloads for later? I'm stuck for an answer because of how Nintendo ties everything to a physical console instead of an account.

Why the hell are video games so expensive in Japan? It boggles my mind every time I go into a Yodobashi or Bic Camera and see upwards of $55 for 3DS and Vita games, and $70 for console games aren't uncommon. These games are developed in Japan, shouldn't that make them cheaper? There's something else going on here since normal economics are obviously not in play.
