Or is Nintendo screwing the "early" adopters with yet another revision (with the extra analogue built in) not so far into the future? 3DS XL PLUS
HMMMMMMMMMMM
I want one for Castlevania (though the game looks like shit)
-
Yes
-
I ordered one an hour ago.
-
Yes
is Paper Mario coming out this year?
-
I want one really bad, but it looks like the all-black one won't be available at launch ??? Stupid Nintendo.
-
Uh. Maybe no.
The next proper iteration is just around the corner. That said, the 3ds is the most powerful three dimensional handheld out there.
-
3DS is pretty lame though, in general, no revision will make it more powerful.
Buy a Vita.
-
lol vita
-
Wipeout is better then anything on 3DS.
-
I have it on PS3.
-
Good point Demi but whats there on 3DS that you havent played 50 times already on every other Nintendo platform since the SNES?
Mario Kart? Zelda 64? Mario Bros? Mario Tennis?
-

Sounds like a great idea.

Don't forget Kid Icarus! :uguu
-
I want one so I can play another practically identical Professor Layton game, and also what might be the only/best high budget 3DS game to come out in America (RE:Revelations).
-
Ignoring the same old Nintendo properties, there are lesser known but cool games on the 3DS. And if you want the same old Nintendo games or ports, there are more quality games.
If you think you can justify spending (the price of the 3DS XL) for the games you're interested in, why not. If there is another revision, we're talking a year away and probably not a "XL" version. If you want the big screen, all you gain from waiting is a meager price drop or whatever holiday bundles/deals roll out in November/December.
-
Neither handheld is "on fire" at the moment. The 3DS XL "relaunch" has NSMB2...and that's it.
It's a sure bet that there will be another 3DS model released later on, but I wouldn't let that stop you from getting an XL. Check the releases and see if it really seems worth it. Same with the Vita.
-

Which games are these? I already have Shadow Wars and Theatrhythm sitting in my shelf, and I was also planning on picking up Pushmo.
-
Shinobi, as mentioned above (don't know about Rhythm Thief--didn't like the demo). Pushmo is a quality puzzle game. I picked up Sakura Samurai this past weekend and it's fun. (If you don't have a PSP) Crush.
...I didn't say there were many 'lesser known but cool' games.
Well, you could include Cave Story and VVVVVV too if you want portable versions. I played both on PC.
-
I've been eying Rhythm Thief and I'll look into Shinobi.
-
my advice is don't pay full price for a 3ds xl or a vita, their time on this earth will be very limited compared to their predecessors
you could always wait a bit and see if they drop the price or run bundle deals for the original 3ds, unless you really have your heart set on the larger screens
-
I also want to throw this out there: MercurySteam can suck my nuts
-
I'm indifferent about the Castlevania game, unless it's deeply connected to LoS, in which case I hope it sucks. I don't feel like playing that turd.
-
has anyone played Mighty Switch Force? is it a good game or is it Wayforward's usual M.O.?
-
It was my first Wayforward game, so I'm unaware of their M.O. (I'm going to assume it has something to do with 16bit style over substance).
I thought it was ok-ish, nice mechanics and all, but on the short side. Unless you go for perfect scores/times, I don't think it's worth the asking price. I heard they released some free DLC, though. Just keep in mind that it's a puzzler first, a platformer second. Oh and barebones presentation. It's kinda built like an iOS game, really.
-
I'm still on the fence and don't know what I should do. :-\ First world problems.
In any case I know I'll have one before Luigi's Mansion 2 comes out, but how far before is anyone's guess...
-

Well the reason I ask is because this weekend it's half the normal asking price. And yes, Wayforward generally makes shallow/poor games with great presentations.
Probably a pass, then. From videos it looked like the main gimmick is taken from Mario Galaxy's switch levels. Maybe not a pass, then.
another random question: is it true you can't copy save data between systems? so if I get a 3DS XL in the future, I can transfer my game but not the save data?

If I buy my second 3DS before you even buy one, I'm gonna ban you from this forum. :punch
-
You'd have to be pretty dumb to buy a Vita at this point in time. Dying or not, it won't be staying at its current price terribly far into the future.
I guess you're right. It's just so nice though.

-
I know u aint talkin like that to my chubby hubby
-
that's right. games transfer over, saves do not.
That's a shame. Good thing Mighty Switch Force is only about an hour long!
It's actually pretty(,) fun for what it is. I've maybe played half an hour or so and there are only four levels left. Feels iOS-ish, shallow fun; reminds me of Gravity Run. If that Wii U HD one is a fully baked game it could be great.
-
I just booked one, and i am trading in my dslite which means i only have to pay half for a 3DS XL...nice.
-
I read the Verge's preview and now I kinda want an XL. But I also want the CP Pro. Decisions. :'(
-
There is a circle pad pro coming for the XL. Can't you get that one instead?
-
CP Pro is disgusting on the OG model. 3DS XL will get you so much pussy you'll turn gay.
-

I know it's "coming" but who knows when, they have even released shots of what it looks like. I want to be able to use a CCP from the first day I get my 3DS.
I hope LM2 supports it. :( :( :(

Is that a desired outcome? ??? I guess as long as I stay a top it'll be OK.

so is super mario 3d land worth it or not?

There's a 99% chance it's going to be better than NSMB2 at least, and some people in my OT said they liked it better than the Galaxy games.
-
no jrpgs on 3ds yet right? And yeah I played Abyss already. (hint, noire as my avatar)
-
Plenty of JRPGs on 3DS. Just in Japan.

I also want to throw this out there: SantaC, you are the worst kind of fan there is. You've complained so many times about MercurySteam and their brand of Castlevania, you've publicly pined for IGA's return, and when the Lords of Shadow 3DS was announced/shown you had nothing but terrible things to say about it. All of which is fine, in my books. But now you're going to buy it? For real?
I can understand buying MercurySteam's first CV game, after all, we didn't know how they would fare, but you didn't like it at all. You've been very loud about that. And now you're going to go ahead and buy the next one, even with you thinking it looks bad and is not the direction you want the series to go. You're complaining as loud as you can but giving Konami your money all the same.
People like you are why the publishers think they can do whatever the damn hell they want. Get some frigging dignity.
I don't even know SantaC but

Nice... there's also Etrian Odyssey 4, not sure if it's been confirmed yet but it probably will be. And that pirate ship Rocket Slime game which I really really want :(
-
Woops, I swear I had EO4 listed, guess I deleted it. But that is Japan only for now.
You can assume that most Atlus games will make the jump, so I wasn't sure to jump the gun and put EO4, SMT4, and SMT Soul Hackers as "coming to America"

Pilotwings Resort is $5 at your local Best Buy and its online shop, gogogogogogo
-
Pilotwings is not online, its in-store pickup only.
-
THEN YOU BETTER GET OFF YO ASS
-
Lol, not for Pilotwings.
-
Fuck Pilotwings, that's 40 Club Nintendo coins for $5.
-
Bravely Default isn't coming to America? Wtf.

So is Steel Diver. Worth it?

no

I have over 2,000 coins. I'll pass, plus I already registered Pilotwings and Steel Diver.

Fire Emblem tempts me, but I'll just waiting for another price cut

Anyone caught touting the "Nintendo doesn't need next-gen graphics, because they make games that are FUN!" line of thinking should be forced to play Steel Diver and Pilotwings Resort, Clockwork Orange-style.

There's nothing worth buying. I did pick up DK 94 download code, though. That game makes my peepee chubby.
-
You could get me that Game & Watch Ball. I'll show you my balls in return :-*
-
Pilotwings is great for $5. But buying games for club nintendo points :-X
-
Your balls are probably disproportionate and small. While cute, it's not 1200 coins cute.

So true :'(

But it's Miyamoto's newest IP! It has to be good!

Take it to heart, distinguished mentally-challenged fellow. Don't give Konami money for a product you don't think you'll like that supports a direction you don't like just because it has a particular name on the box. I don't do that with SEGA, even being as much of a fantard for them as I am, and as a fellow CV nut who doesn't want MercurySteam to stick around, I wish you could do at least as much here.
wtf the game isnt even out and yet you go on a nonsensical rant getting riled up over nothing when there are clearly worse problems with this world than a fucking sale of a video game. Who is the distinguished mentally-challenged fellow now?
-
Santa, as someone who has been fucked over by Konami more than you have - hey, at least your preferred series of choice still exists, right? - just give them the finger and cross your other ones that in the future, something bright will happen to CV. At least it's not a multi-entry rpg series with a large spanning world with over a 1000 years of history that you've loved for over 12 years that will never, ever, get a true ending to.
-
So, I have about $300 in GameStop giftcards, and my brother is gonna buy me a 3DSXL for my birthday for helping him move... looks like it's time to go on a game buying spree. I want Kid Icarus and NSMB2. Does Tales of the Abyss have anything new in it? Already beat it on PS2.
I might also put some of those giftcards towards a Wii-U.
-
No
-
Who is the distinguished mentally-challenged fellow now?
You're the distinguished mentally-challenged fellow now, dog.
-
Saw this on gaf. Didn't realize the screen is the size of the Vita's.
(http://i.minus.com/jLq0I8pmwMc4w.jpg)
-
Yeah, it's huge. And the fact that people claim the IQ is "no different than the original 3DS" is driving me *nuts*, because it's *impossible*. Gah, now I really want to see it for myself.
These people really deserve Nintendo.
-
I'm not riled up. If you can't make sense of my "rant", then I guess your English is worse than I'd thought.
And yes, there are worse problems in the world. So why aren't you in Africa hand-feeding children medicine and tasty food whilst reading stories to them, Caped Crusader? "I cannot solve all the problems in life so I won't do anything about any problems" is both stupid logic and a poor personal philosophy, but hey, you're welcome to it.
I just don't want to hear word one of you bitching about this game when you get it. Not a word. Nothing more about MercurySteam, either. You've cast your vote.
And you're still the distinguished mentally-challenged fellow. Perhaps even more aggressively so than before, what with presenting the ol' "worse problems in the world" chestnut.
look i wasnt even talking to you in my thread before you decided to stink it up. Are you obsessed with me or something?
MercurySteam is shit and so are you.

Now, now, the controls SUCKS, but the game is really worth experiencing regardless. But the controls SUCKS!
If you disagree YOU'RE A DISGUSTING APOLOGIST!

The multiplayer was the best part. I didn't enjoy the single player even after adapting to the controls.

don't get a 3DSXL. my 3DS is a pile of regret every day
-
don't get a 3DSXL. my 3DS is a pile of regret every day
too late. Picking mine up on saturday...

I'm due for a nice helping of regret, myself. Certainly cheaper than a $300 pile of regret :teehee
-
got my XL today, wow the top screen is huge! my smartphone looks pathetic compared too
(http://oi49.tinypic.com/f09jt3.jpg)
-
WTF, nobody seems to have an in-store pick-up option available online. Gamestop and Best Buy only display shipping options.
-
I won't get mine until Tuesday. Damn you postal services! *shakes fist*
-
screen is as big as vitas now, lol
-
3DS has no games. I completely regret my purchase. :-\
with the XL, future looks good for 3DS. I am sure there will be more games coming now.
-

Seriously, how could Sony let someone as technically challenged as Nintendo come close or surpass them? :rofl

Nintendo's reason for making the DSi XL was to go after older customers. Then a funny thing happened on the way to the bank and they found that the extremely successful XL was selling considerably more to younger customers. So I very much doubt they went into the 3DS XL thinking "let's scoop us up some oldies". More likely, the thought process was "everyone really liked the DSi XL, this lets us up the battery life, and we can charge more for nearly the same components and finally stem the bleeding from hardware a bit".
Put my thoughts into a post.
DSi XL was well received. Pretty much everyone knew an XL of the 3DS would happen eventually, the question was if it would be before or after the redesign. TBH it's kind of in the middle. It's slightly redesigned (yay actual buttons for start/select/home) but not as drastic a departure as any of the GBA or DS revisions. The wait for a sexy 3DS design continues.
-
Just sold all my 3ds games. Would have sold the 3ds too but I'm keeping it for my DS backlog.
-
3DS XL is obviously meant to target the gaijin market with their disgustingly large hands.
-
I want impressions on the Glaucoma Display and DAT DOT PITCH
-
Just sold all my 3ds games. Would have sold the 3ds too but I'm keeping it for my DS backlog.
Getting ready to double dip on the eShop versions, right?
-
I guess another reason I kept it is for the possibility of buying future games for it, but nothing in the pipeline I am interested in
-
Are people interested in buying 3DS games digitally? iirc games are the same price, can't resell them, no transferring/backing up saves, purchases are tied to hardware, along with other problems. It's great that games are coming out digitally and on physical media but Nintendo's online is still juvenile.
-
I traded in 5 3ds games for about 90 bucks. I see no point in going digital if you can't resell shit especially if there is no discount
-

I had no idea they intend on selling them for the same price, not that Sony's $4 discount is what they should be aiming for. As for saves, they're not being saved to the SD card for easy backup/saves?
Will system transfer *at least* take care of them?
If not, I won't even bother. I'm already upset about not being able to transfer my Pushmo and Fire Emblem's saves.
-

I like the idea of having my library always handy without having to lug a case of carts wherever I go. Since I always buy games new and rarely sell them anyways, it isn't a big deal for me.

Don't see why system transfer wouldn't work, but what happens if your system breaks and you can't do that? It's 2012, Nintendo- no excuse for this shit.

You send it to Nintendo to get it fixed, and they either fix it or system transfer it themselves to a new one like they did for broken Wii's...?
If you buy a new system after one breaks you're a chump.

Look, man, it's really simple:
1. You call Nintendo and explain your situation in an appropriately reverent tone. They give you some packing instructions and an address and maybe chide you a bit about being more careful with your system.
2. You find a box and some packing material, and carefully pack the system.
3. You take it to USPS, or UPS, or FedEx, or wherever, there are like a million places to mail stuff right in your town.
4. You pay for the postage, hand the package over.
5. You go home and wait.
6. Your fixed or new system will arrive in a few days or a week or whatever, just have patience.
7. When it arrives, enjoy your repaired or new system with all your files in place.
See how easy it is? I don't see why people make such a big deal out of it. Who wants to go through the confusing hassle of remembering an account password and downloading recovery data from a "cloud" (whatever the hell that is). With Nintendo's system all the heavy lifting of file transferral is conveniently done for you.
-
If I had a 3DS, I wouldn't be using the digital copies. Nevermind the system transfer, they're not cheaper, the cards aren't big enough to worry about and I can trade them in later.
-
The game save situation is a complete mess on the 3DS and Vita. Vita has the leg up since you can back up saves on a PC or PS3, but saves are tied to the games, meaning if you want to back up your save for [Secret Vita Game], that's a ~4 gig save file. 3DS is the same except you can't back it up at all. I don't get why there isn't just a separate save file. (I do. Fear or hacking save files like on the PSP and Wii. Still sucks.)
-
Actually with some magic you can copy just Vita saves to PC. (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39681435&postcount=18456)

Reserved a 3DS XL a few days ago. Wish I could trade in my original towards it, but I have to do the stupid system transfer thing first. :dizzy Guess it doesn't matter since I'm going to get TTT2 from Gamestop and can just trade it towards that instead.
I just want the XL model to be comfortable- the original 3DS is the only handheld I have ever owned that hurts my hands after like 10 minutes of use.

Everyone who's played it has said the XL is no argument better than the original, and you can actually play shitty games like Kid Icarus just fine now.
