People are reporting on Amazon that even stores that have them in stock(some Targets apparently have them) have been told that the street date has changed to Wednesday and they cannot sell it until then.

Street dates are right along with region locking for needless retarded poo poo that serves no purpose but to screw the consumer. The game is done, stuck into cartridges, boxed, and mailed out. Nope, cant buy it!

Here's a question, why did my Mii plaza suddenly go from 3 Mii's to 75? I haven't StreetPassed anyone and I just upgraded to an XL...where did all these Mii's come from?

The only thing I can think of is I connected to Mario Kart like twice so maybe they came from that but uh, this is odd. One of them is named VOTE OBAMA from 11 days ago :confused:

EDIT: They're all listed as "Met Via Invitation." What is that?

Invitation is when a game invites your online Mario Kart opponents' Miis over to your plaza. You can disable that in the options.

I can't believe you found over 20 3DS games to be worth purchasing.

Actually just a little under 20. Vanguard Princess and Pilot Wings werent worth it, at least not for the 40 bucks they each cost me. Super Street Fighter 4 was kinda not worth it too because it was outdated and hurts my hands. It's a pretty great port but man, it literally hurts to play.

Edit: Oh and RE: Mercenaries. What was I thinking

Kid Icarus is the definition of interesting. The characters are brilliant, it's technically astounding, the gameplay is unique, and it's just the best. Get it.

The conversations happening during gameplay are hilarious,interesting, and very well acted. The multiplayer is very fun. It's also got shittons of unlockables, like more than Smash Bros Brawl level of doodads to get.

No, it's the mic reacting to the clicks of you opening it up. An easter egg of the 3DS is that you can blow into the mic and it makes the programs spin around faster.

I loved how before the first or second system patch, the 3d thing on the top screen had no limit to how much it would spin. On the bus, the models would be in a constant state of spinning so fast you couldnt see what it was.

I havent noticed a way, but it at least requires you create a password that must be used every single time you try to charge it.

Trace Memory had a puzzle where you had to close the lid part way to reflect the image on the top screen onto the bottom screen or something like that and it blew my loving mind.

Hotel Dusk had a puzzle where in order to see a hidden message, you had to look at the screen at a weird angle where, as LCDs like to do, the colors go all goofy. Turns out the message was white text on a very slightly different shade of white background that goes completely unnoticed normally, but for some reason in funky-color-vision shows up just fine.

Guys, guys, you're talking about two different games. In VLR you can just do whatever in terms of endings due to how the flowchart works. In 999 you should avoid getting Safe until you have at least, say, two other endings because it'll ruin a lot of the dramatic tension in the rest of the endings.

I got the Safe end on my first try (I'm loving AWESOME at VNs) and still felt all that delicious dramatic tension the rest of the game.

So I've got Luigi's Mansion and Fire Emblem the other day, which means I only need one more game for a free copy of Animal Crossing when it comes out. I am trying to decide between Donkey Kong and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and just found out the reviewers absolutely slammed the latter one. I only played the demo so far but I guess I'd have to agree (plus Mystery Dungeon games tend to show up in bargain bins quickly), but at the same time I skipped DKCR on the Wii. I'm waiting for reviews obviously but to the people who played it, can I assume I'll like it based on liking the 3 SNES games?

DKCR is awesome. Get it.

The buzz when it came out that it was basically a fighting game demo attached to a 3d movie, but looking again IGN seem to have loved it (though that's faint praise to say the least)

Couple pages late, but you might be thinking of the PS3 one where they packaged the Tekken movie with a Tag Tournament 2 demo. Tekken 3D Prime is the movie and the full Tekken 6. I havent played it myself, but from what I read it plays exactly the same and runs at 60fps even in 3D. It of course doesnt look nearly as good and it doesnt have much in the way of singleplayer stuff, but considering that it's for all intents arcade-perfect Tekken 6 that's not bad.

Going back a bit but thanks for the advice on fighting games. I'll definitely get DOA Dimensions. Sure, I sperg out about fighter controls enough to order a custom stick (since you can't get pro circle gates anywhere :911:), but that's only an issue for games I played in arcades growing up. DOA was always a console game for me, so I'm fine with gamepad controls in this case. Same thing with Tekken really, since I never played that series in the arcade much... might go for that too if DOA really gets its hooks in me.

If you dont mind going back to old DS games or paying a bunch for importing, Jump Ultimate Stars is a great fighter that was actually designed with the DS in mind. The fighting itself is a lot like Smash, except Shonen Jump. The uniqueness comes from its use of the touchscreen. You arrange various comic panels you unlock through the mission mode which are activated by hitting them with your thumbs. The larger panels are playable characters to tag in, the medium ones are assist characters, and the single square tiny ones are passive effects.

You may need a guide for mission mode since its all in some heathen language, but other than that I managed to get by through trial and error, even for figuring out what the various assists do.

Seems like its roughly 30 bucks on ebay. It's worth the risk, so long as you make sure its a reputable seller and actually out of Japan and not like China or something.

Edit: Woah wait, a fan translation?!

Edit2: Oh yeah I should probably point this out. If you do look for the game, dont buy Jump Super Stars. It's the older game and simply isnt as good. Ultimate improved everything in every way.

Suppose I'll just have to try it to see, but I never really had a problem one-handing the old DS, so maybe not a big deal after all.

I'd rather wait for Fire Emblem to finish, though. Anyone know if it'll keep on downloading in the background while I play, or where I can at least see its progress?

I think background downloading only happens while the lid is closed, and you can check its progress by clicking its faded icon. Unless of course you mean youre currently downloading in the foreground and watching the gems fall into the cube. In which case, the edges of the cube fill up with orange as it downloads.
