New Nintendo 3DS: Now with Improved 2DS Functionality

[Lyall]

I'm pretty sure he's making a joke about the GC-GBA fiasco with the original FF:CC game and how it relates to playing/streaming Wii U/3DS games back and forth.

This. FF:CC is my favorite non-numbered FF game and I will take any excuse to daydream about playing an updated version of it.

yay my AC adapter shipped

are we the 13th yet?

[Doombear]

We aren't. Can we be please? Ordered the card you and Krandor suggested. Now MH4U please.

I kinda want M4UH to be preorderable on the Eshop website, so it could auto download on my 3ds while i sleep that way it would be 'faster' when i get my new 3ds to play

[Doombear]

Yeah, that would be nice. But... Nintendo. =(

Ordered this, so now all I do is wait for all the pieces to get here and get to hunting the monsters.

Is that the 40$ one?

i'm looking for a 'soft transport case' but 40$ is too much

[Tokitoki]

I used a slider top ziploc bag for my 3DS... Worked great. Held my charger, the CPP, games, cleaning cloth, and it came in a pack of 40.

[Doombear]

$50 >.> and I really do understand. It took me an entire year of deliberating before I picked up the same case for my Vita. As soon as I got it though, I knew it was worth it. I have spent just as long on the fence about getting a matching one for the 3DS and recent claims that it didn't fit the n3DS very well put me off. They have stated, however, that they tested a AU n3DS XL in the case and it is fine. They do tend to loosen up a bit later anyway so I am not worried.

That said, yep. $50 is nothing to shrug away for a case. I just think that I can forgo some purchases elsewhere, that are maybe not as much but add up and are equally pointless, to justify this one. It truly is a gorgeous case.

Recently I've been thinking of my chief concern: the dead pixel wear-in lines from the clamshell design. I know on both of my current 3DS' it's basically a "when" and not an "if" where the bottom screen's border leaves permanent lines in the top screen. The new 3ds looks smoothed out, but there's still a lingering concern.

I always put a microfiber cleaning cloth between the clamshell before I close it. That way I can wipe off smudges and keep the system protected at the same time.

gamestop website shows the monster hunter 4 version available, but when you click it, it gets instantly removed from your cart

Tomorrow is the futureshop event in Laval for the New 3ds + MH4U and Zelda MM

[Ratatapa]

Well here are my impressions of everything

New 3ds

The cstick is really nice, well placed and easy to use, only problem it feels sticky, don't know if it was the test console or if it's a,ways like that but yeah.

Opening the console is much much faster then the 3ds xl, guy there and I did a race to open up 3ds and ran monster hunter, he was able to start the fight vs jaggi before I finished loading monster hunter ( no joke).

Majora's mask : game had 3 demos
1) from the start of the game till you enter clock town
2) explore clock town as link
3) first temple boss

Nothing special cstick turns the camera game plays well and the new "eye" to hit the boss doesn't change much the fight, after you hit him enough he crash on the ground then you hit his eye.

Monster hunter, I was sad of the setup, only 1 console for it so it was solo play. At first I was using the touchpad control out of habit but got used to the cstick pretty easy.

Shit will be fun!

[Doombear]

Nice! I had heard that the cstick was very rigid, with pretty much no feeling of give to it that could be a bit odd feeling. I hadn't heard that it was a sticky type of rubber. I don't imagine it will bother me (either of those if true) as I will really just be using it sparingly to tweak the camera in MH. So having played the MH4U demo on your 3DS and now the n3DS, did you notice the color/texture/contrast improvements it has? Were you really able to appreciate the better speakers in that environment at all?

I couldn't compare mh much because they only had 1 console for it, so it was a quick jaggi but I did see some difference hardware wise, game isisnt much better looking but you still see a difference.

As for speaker event though there were a lot of people talking and all I had no problem hearing the zelda music, while on my 3ds I had to get a little closer to hear stuff like mini plaza or final fantasy theatrerythmn

[Ratatapa]

3D is Also a big improvement played all the demo on 3d and didn't get headache on anything follows me really well and enjoyable

[Doombear]

Awesome. I still don't play much in 3D myself because I can still feel the strain when I do and there always tends to be even a little ghosting no matter what. Damn my broken eyes. I really have high hopes that the much lauded 3D improvements make it much easier for me to use too.

[Ratatapa]

Forgot to add, it's a small thing but w/e the stylus is a little bigger, so if you're the type who bought like the 5 stylus package, it might not work

[Gokulo]

Weird, I thought the review I posted said the stylus was smaller. Can't check right now

[Ratatapa]

Yeah that's what i meant lol it is smaller
