Ryuga Death posted:https://store.nintendo.com/nintendo-3ds-2ds/replacement-parts.html It's why I just grabbed a 3DS XL (red) from the site. I'll grab another charger and battery in a minute too. Especially now that it looks like with even a mac I can get this thing home-brewed  I have the 3ds new (with face plates) that's frankly a little small for my big hands, and a 2ds (which is also small but better ergonomics) but I figure... why not be prepared? And if I can get all those old GBA games installed on it, plus my massive catalogue of 3ds games, I'll really be set.

Well, too late now. Does the the 3DS line of systems still have the limited number of software/account transfers like it originally did, or did they do away with that when they changed the Nintendo Account stuff?

You can only do it once a week system to system and once a year over the phone. I think those are the only limitations

This also gives you a backup of all your games you can install on any other homebrewed 3DS in the eventual future when the eShop goes away and it's no longer possible to do an official system transfer.

Downloaded the demo for Picross 3D Round 2 and the concept is a lot more understandable and fun than expected. Glad there's a 30% platinum coupon for it in the My Nintendo section. Also discovered that there's a huge library of picross games for the DS line. Are these legit copies of Picross DS and Picross 3D? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Picross-DS-Nintendo-DS-2007-Complete-and-Tested/254701778488 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Picross-3D-Nintendo-DS-2010-CIB/133530256265?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 They look legit according to the pictures posted.

Yeah, those are legit. Keep in mind, you really only gotta worry about it for stuff that's gonna be rare or the mega popular franchises. Nobody was bootlegging Picross.

I assume all those brand new and sealed copies of Phantom Hourglass on ebay are definitely on the bootleg side. Ha.

Welp, four years after I bought it at launch I finally beat Pokemon Sun. Overall I liked it and the QoL improvements they made to the series, but man does it seem like they ran out of ideas near the end of the game. I did start a little of the post game but since the part I like least about pokemon games is chasing down legendaries I think imma move on to Sword since I've been jonesing to get into that one. My next trick for 3DS is to dust off my circle pad pro and see if I can cope better using it to control Kid Icarus.

How DS games look in the New 2DS XL? I've seen some people say they look bad even if you use the start/select stuff while booting but not sure

I've seen some people say they look bad even if you use the start/select stuff while booting but not sure In the default full screen mode they look pretty soft but I don't mind it. 1:1 pixel mode looks perfectly fine to me but I prefer the default mode anyway. This video has a good look at how it looks compared to a DSi XL, so you can see if you think stuff like this bothers you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMXEeSdRw8k&t=136s (2:16 - 6:10) Zat fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Oct 5, 2020 |

About four or more years ago, I broke the thumb stick off my 3ds, lost it, and mostly forgot about the system except to briefly try out the then-new Smash Bros DLC characters. At least a year or two later I found the stick, and then promptly lost it again. Now I found it again! And I’m realizing that it’ll take more than just a drop of super glue to fix it, so it’s kind of bittersweet.

Decided to turn my 3DS on for the first time in a month and discovered that Steamworld Dig, Dig 2, and Heist are all mad discounted on the eShop right now, if you haven't played them already. I had Dig 2 wishlisted for a while so it was a nice surprise to see.

Question: I bought a New XL off ebay for relatively cheap, do I need a screen protector for the top screen or is the screen bumping poo poo not gonna happen because of the stoppers?

I'll probably get a tempered glass one for the top just in case. Did it on my Switch twice (steamed the bathroom) and it wasn't hard, plus less screen area means I don't have to concern myself too much with finding dust.

The Y button on my New 3DS XL is intermittently not working. Is this an issue I could feasibly repair myself by futzing around in there, or do I need to suck it up and send it in to Nintendo?

Could just require a simple cleaning. There’s plenty of repair tutorials for 3DS online so give it a shot.

You need, uh, isopropyl wipes, canned air, the right screwdrivers (did the New 3DS use triwing?) and basic understanding of not being a total idiot. Clean the shoulder buttons with canned air while you're at it.
