New 3DS Megathread v6 - Games

today i accidentally bought Shantae: Risky’s Revenge(ds) instead of Shantae and the pirate’s curse.(3ds) like that was like woops silly me eheh better play this one first but then i spent like 30mins trying to leave the starting area and got upset and now i dont know if im ever going to try and open up that game again

seems that I really can't find enough reasons to get a 3ds the biggest reason too is that, despite nintendo always making great games, it has a huge lacking in third party support.

My favorite games for the system are third party titles

[QUOTE=J!NX;47111432]seems that I really can't find enough reasons to get a 3ds the biggest reason too is that, despite nintendo always making great games, it has a huge lacking in third party support.[/QUOTE] Generally a system that has strong third party support has relatively weak first party showing, and vice versa. It's a non-issue on PC, but it's plagued consoles since the Dreamcast. Third parties don't like building for Nintendo systems because Nintendo's IP is harder to compete with than Sony or Microsoft, so a game that'd sell well on those two suddenly isn't a surefire bet with Nintendo, particularly if it's a game that imitates the gameplay style of an already established Nintendo IP (next to the original it looks like a clone and won't sell as well; this is something they don't have to worry as much about on competing hardware, so they avoid Nintendo) tl;dr what many consider to be a weakness is actually the result of a great (almost TOO great) strength. Nintendo's in-house offerings are prolific to a fault, they've basically saturated their own platform with games that are monumentally difficult to compete with, so many third parties choose not to even try.

That will take you up a layer on that area.

Flipnote 3D is now available to Club Nintendo members. I'm getting it now

[QUOTE=Durrsly;47112516]Flipnote 3D is now available to Club Nintendo members. I'm getting it now[/QUOTE] Where is it? Or is it not out in Europe yet?

I think Europe's getting it when that Club Nintendo replacement program is up.

[QUOTE=Jorori;47112532]Where is it? Or is it not out in Europe yet?[/QUOTE] It would be in the "To-Do" list, where you would fill out surveys.

I just checked the UK Stars Catalog, there seems to be even less stuff there. Anybody know what got removed?

I've been playing OoT3D seriously for the first time to prepare for MM3D, but there's one part that's really annoying me- the last golden skulltula. I've gone through every area, every dungeon, every Temple, and the only one left I have to get is apparently in Kokiri Forest. The thing is, I've gone through and gotten the ones guides keep saying- Deku Tree has a gold skulltula next to the title, I've planted the bugs in the soil next to the shop, and I've used Adult Link to nab the one on the house. The only one I'm not sure I've gotten is the one behind the house, but when I go there as a child at night there's none to be seen. While it's likely that I've gotten that one before, what if I didn't and didn't know how to grab it? Am I perpetually screwed from getting that last token, or is there one I'm just not seeing? Other than that, and the fishing minigame being a pain in the ass, I've really liked the game so far. MM3D can only be better.

Sadly, I have the same problem where I know there is one but I have to go check every location from the guide to be sure I ain't screwing up. Especially in Master Quest, where they moved them inside the temples, but then I decided to check online and, unless you're a completionist, the reward is not great for all the trouble. I checked my old Master Collection files and they all stopped at 50 for a good reason which I did forgot when I was playing this version. [sp]The last family member is free'd and he will give you 200 rupees at will but by the time you do this, you finished most of the game and there is no money sinker anywhere. It always been a problem in some Zelda games.[/sp] As for the fishing game, as much of a pain it is, once you know the trick, it's just a matter of time. You probably know these but it could help: -Be sure you caught the big fish. It's next to the arc like trunk. -Once you caught it, move the stick in the direction the fish is going. Not against it. The line is most likely to snap. -Keep fighting until you go it. It's literally a struggle between the fish and you. Show him who's boss. -Apparently, doing it at night helps getting the fish to grab on. Some food frenzy or something. Not sure though since I did this during daylight.

Oh my god there's only 3 days left until n3DS, MM3D, and MH4U! I would be excited but I'm probably going to be waiting until the end of the month or even next month for my shipment :v:

I feel screwed because, where the hell could this last one be if I've looked everywhere in the areas specifically stating Kokiri Forest? I always pulled against it, actually- I might try that if I ever work up the time and patience. I do like having a theme of "One away from completion," actually- can't find the last skulltula, last heart piece out of reach, have to find the last Big Poe. Maybe It'll inspire me to complete it for real someday in the future.

The bigger question is how the heck would they know? I plan on using a usb charger to save a wall outlet. Their current adapter is bulky and behind the times anyways.

I decided to order a New 3DS XL for my birthday, it's gonna get here on the 17th hyped as hell!

[QUOTE=Mysion;47115389]The bigger question is how the heck would they know? I plan on using a usb charger to save a wall outlet.

If you ship without the charger or ship with a third party one, the repairs won't be free.

I ordered the original 3DS XL AC Adapter off Amazon, [T]http://i.imgur.com/4n6B15P.jpg[/T] but apparently nothing can escape the "NEW" branding. [T]http://i.imgur.com/x5FDeg2.jpg[/T]

Is there any difference in framerate or textures in MM3D when playing on the regular 3DS XL vs the new one?
