Made me think of Valkyria Chronicles, to be honest.

Police Girl · **Reply #1551 on:** November 18, 2014, 10:39:39 AM

Homebrew's coming.

They're releasing it this week. You'll need the game Cubic Ninja to access it though.

Who wants a Monster Hunter 4 demo code?

Hypershell · **Reply #1553 on:** January 25, 2015, 03:21:24 PM

If not already claimed, sure. I don't expect my budget to allow getting that one at launch.

Since this is the actual 3DS thread, it looks like Best Buy took too many Majora's Mask New 3DS XL pre-orders (even after cancelling multiples to the same household). Whoever they had to cancel beyond that (myself included) got a $50 off promo code to ~~keep them from looking elsewhere~~ take the sting off of trading down to one of the regular colors.

So Europe is getting these glorious bundles.

There better be a North American equivalent coming because this is really bullshit if they don't. I would love to have a Monado themed 3DS.

Are the new Pokemon games 'new'3ds exclusive?

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1556 on:** May 07, 2015, 03:58:01 AM

No they aren't, in fact they preceded the New 3DS by a few months. Also kind of odd that it's just Alpha Sapphire and not Omega Ruby too.

You can still play them on the 'regular' 3DS models; my older brother has the regular 3DS XL along with Y and Omega Ruby and they work fine. Though my question is why isn't there a bundle for Omega Ruby? And why Europe is being treated so nicely instead of the US when it comes to the New 3DS?

Ninja'd.

Because they get treated like [parasitic bomb] with any other game. xD

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1559 on:** May 07, 2015, 04:11:21 AM

Not as bad as Australia though.

But you're referring to the software (i.e. the games), not the hardware.

No, but there are compatibility issues in the games themselves to be aware of. Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire have a few items, moves, and Mega Evolutions that cannot interact with X/Y. Also, when you go online for a random Rating Battle, the "league" that accepts the OR/AS specific features will NOT accept any Pokemon that were not originally caught on a 3DS game.

I don't expect a "New 3DS" exclusive Pokemon to ever happen. Pokemon embraced DSi enhancements without being exclusive to it and was EXTREMELY late in moving to the original 3DS. Historically the series isn't that big on pushing new hardware, especially not in terms of processing power. And it's not as if the C-Stick/extra buttons are of any real importance to a Pokemon game.

I WOULD appreciate if they could use the N3DS's extra power to keep the 3D effect on more often, though. It's bizarre how frequently the games jump between 3D and 2D modes.

Nintendo of America finally unveils the Normal sized New 3DS for the US, launching with Happy Home Designer

Is there some reason they needed to wait this long? I would've gladly preferred to get my hands on the smaller model instead of the XL but noooo we're not releasing that till the year's almost over.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1563 on:** September 01, 2015, 04:41:09 AM

Yay I knew being patient would pay off!

ViperAcidZX · **Reply #1564 on:** September 01, 2015, 04:54:45 AM

Finally, I can get what I originally wanted for my birthday!

Phi · **Reply #1565 on:** September 01, 2015, 04:57:12 AM

Okay, but surely they could have chosen a better game to launch it with...

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1566 on:** September 01, 2015, 04:58:34 AM

Maybe I can ask my brother to take me to Gamestop tomorrow to reserve it. I hope they have a good amount of face plates to choose from too, I'd rather have a pattern one than a game specific face plate.

True though it would have been better if they launched it with ORAS to be honest.

Phi · **Reply #1567 on:** September 01, 2015, 05:01:19 AM

I would've laughed my [tornado fang]ing ass off if it launched with Metroid Federation Force.

They totally should have done that.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1568 on:** September 01, 2015, 05:03:28 AM

Even though it would have been one of the worst marketing mistakes of Nintendo this year it would have been hilarious.

ViperAcidZX · **Reply #1569 on:** September 01, 2015, 05:07:40 AM

Either that or one of the best trolling stunts Nintendo would ever pull.

Police Girl · **Reply #1570 on:** September 01, 2015, 05:42:00 AM

Also there's another Limited Edition Zelda 3DS.

Gamestop Exclusive and it appears there's no more preorders so that's that I guess.

It doesn't look as nice as the Majora's Mask one anyway.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #1574 on:** September 02, 2015, 01:13:07 AM

Well I pre-ordered the bundle since I was going to get Happy Home designer anyway.
