JiMing Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Oh man, I love the 3DS. I have Pushmo and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for it, and they are awesome.I want to get another game from the eShop, but I can't decide between Mutant Mudds, VVVVVV, or Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword. Any suggestions? Quote Haven't seen one of these in a long time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Just accidentally found an infinite play coins glitch. If you change the date and then change it back to the current date, your play coin daily limit is reset, so you can get much more coins per day without really changing the date. Got 40+ today.

Blessed Blade Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 The only problem, is that it also resets how long you have to wait to streetpass with the same person again. But if that's no problem, then I myself say 'go ahead'; that should have been the way it was from the start... More like the Pokewalker. In fact, if they could send a patch through along with adding even more stuff that used play coins, I'd bet no-one would complain. Especially if they also raised the limit. Over 9000 would be good.

Kohaku Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) How does this affect the pedometer function? Do you lose the steps you had? Edited February 5, 2012 by Kohaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you lose the steps you had?No, it keeps your number of steps for the day, but will give you play coins for every 100, even if you already got ten for the day.

Terminus Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Wondering, anyone else used Nintendo Zone yet?I find it really pointless, as I was first able to use it at McDonald's while eating my breakfast earlier, and most of the stuff is on the eShop, besides the Trivia. However, the connection was very slow (even though I had a very good connection), with at least 5+ seconds of loading per page, in total thre was more loading time than I actually spent using the service.

Just A Dot Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The Nintendo Zone service is kind of lame, but I hear that we are now getting full episodes of Pokemon through this. I was never a fan of Pokemon, but it will probably please some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessed Blade Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 It only lasts while you're around the zone, though, I've heard. And I believe all the old episodes(Well, not all, but a good chunk), are up on the official Pokemon site, so...

King of the Madness Isles Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Downloaded Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge last night, going to play it soon. I figure a classic MM game would be great for my introduction to the series. Oh Nintendo eShop...Also, congrats to Nintendo for being the only fully backward compatible console manufacturer. Not all original Xbox games are supported on 360 (it's a shame), same with PS2-PS3. Most likely because Microsoft and Sony make plenty besides gaming, so Nintendo is the most focused on the gaming hardware's gaming-ness, as opposed to supporting Zune and such.Still awaiting WiiU for Live-like service...which is Nintendo Network.

Blessed Blade Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 ^ Well... To an extent. =P Some DS games won't work on here, due to requiring one of those GBA slot expanders; like if something needed a RAM booster, or the guitar hero add-on. But yeah, you've got a good point there; and Sony did really drop the ball; they nearly had backwards compatibility perfect back with the PS2's PS1 Backwards Compatibility. But, well, they didn't do things right with the PS3, right from the start. =P Quote The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessed Blade Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 There are some games even their respective systems could barely handle. Like a certain Megaman spinoff game, IIRC, the PS2 couldn't even run that.Whereas, with Nintendo, they do perfect BC. The only games that can't be played, are the ones that are literally impossible to play on the console in question, and even those will likely boot up, they just won't be able to be controlled. =PWhereas, the Vita, it can only play games if they're on the PSN, and only if you buy them. Again. Because Sony won't allow you to just get them, regardless of if you have the UMD. If you have them digitally, that's a different story, but for those who actually bought UMDs(Yes, all five of you), then you're out of luck. =P Quote The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Bad thing with Nintendo's BC is the new Wii model, which isn't GC compatible. However, most people who buy a Wii now probably don't even know what a "GameCube" is. =PThey should the 3DS the GBA's cartridge slot. Then you will have the perfect BC system, as it will be able to play any Nintendo handheld game released. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blessed Blade Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 ^ That's true. The bad thing about that, however, is that the GC controller is awesome is a lot of situations, though it should've had two more buttons, just to not require silly alternate control schemes, like seen in Goldeneye Wii. =PThe problem with having a GBA Slot 3DS, is that it'd require the built in guts of a GBA. It's the exact reason they removed it; they'd need to have it be very bulky, to have both the DS hardware, the 3DS hardware, and the GBA hardware... And that's not even including if the GB/GBC stuff was it's own piece of BC requiring hardware. =/ It'd be nice, though, since I'd be able to migrate in Gen 4 of Pokemon without having to go back to my old DS Phat.

Blank0000 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Sorry to be a topic changer but, has anyone tried out the metal gear demo? It is AMAZING!!! Oh, and quick little story, the other night I walked into gamestop, little did I know it was two minutes till closing time... I was looking at the 3DS games and this dude who worked at gamestop handed me a list with a ton of realese dates strait off the computer!!!! I ended up buying SSF 4 3D edition...

Blessed Blade Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 GCN controller is awesome, and I'm glad the 3DS has a similar set up. I simply feel that it should've had two extra buttons, like the CP+ and 3DS combined. For most games, however, I do agree that the buttons the GCC has is perfect. Like Zelda; Wind Waker works perfectly(Though honestly, having a button specifically for the Wind Waker would've been nice. =P), and I bet TP works too, but I haven't played the GCN version of that. =/ Quote The Pokemon TopicPokemon: Rise of the Rockets - Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic - Rise of the Rockets Side Stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessed Blade Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I honestly haven't played that yet. I've only played Wind Waker, since Gamecube games are rare here in Canada apparently. =/It does; but the actual layout of like the Circle pad and such, makes the scheme close enough to the GCC for me. =P Plus, in a way, the extra buttons on the CP+ makes it so that it essentially has the shoulder buttons like the GCC... If you ignore the L button already on the 3DS. =PAlso, I forgot to make a joke... "Revelations"? What's that? I only know of Revelaitons. =POn another note... I just got Tales of the Abyss. =D Can't wait to play, will be starting it up soon.

Terminus Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Really want to get Tales, can't pass up a good JRPG. Of course, I'm also in the middle of 10 Final Fantasy games, Xenosaga, two Atelier games, and Xenoblade (when it comes to America, of course, have it preordered), so I have quite a bit of JRPGs to finish...

Blessed Blade Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Luckily for me, I'm lacking in the JRPGs, so I decided not to pass it up.

Terminus Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I'll probably get Tales sometime soon, but really want Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked (as SMT games are awesome).

Just A Dot Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I am sending in my 3DS for maintenance. I am sure other people have had this problem. The lower screen scratches the upper one, and after nearly a year of getting banged around in my pocket, there are two easily visible scratches running down on the 3D screen. Also, my hinge is loose.I am planning on buying screen protectors to avoid scratches in the future. Are there any screen protectors that you guys recommend for me?

Terminus Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I've had the same problem, and also my housing is cracked. Is that stuff actually covered by the warranty?

Just A Dot Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 That's because the warranty doesn't cover things you do to the system. The loose hinge problem gets a free repair because that is considered a defect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like I actually have any money for it, but Amazon has a ~50% trade-in value for XL's, so lord knows I might swap it in at some point.
