Mega Man 1-4 for $3.50 each on 3DS and WiiU

Tasty · « **Reply #1501 on:** November 21, 2013, 02:58:16 PM »

My emotions are fragile, Wrath.

You just don't understand what Link to the Past means to me. :'(

And the game visually looked like ass when it was revealed and looks like ass to this day. If you're going to pay tribute to LttP's awesomeness you don't do it with assy graphics. It would be like remaking Journey with Wii-level graphics and a gray/brown color pallet. It demonstrates a fundamental lack of reverence for the original, which doesn't bode well for the rest of the game.

Yeah, that's what bothers me too. It's ugly.

3ds xl is already so much better than original 3ds in the minute or two I messed with it.

is there a guide to transferring data from one 3ds to another?

Tasty · « **Reply #1504 on:** November 22, 2013, 12:34:17 PM »

Just go into Settings -> System transfer.

The graphics are a lot better than in screen shots, with 3D on. It also runs at a great frame rate

Zelda looks awesome- bright, clean, well-animated visuals that do a good job recreating the SNES LttP look. Andrex got hit in the head with too many Chromebooks or something.

An upcoming system update for Nintendo 3DS will let users combine their 3DS and Wii U eShop balances into a single Nintendo Network ID.

The update means that eShop funds will no longer be split between Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii U, but unified in a single account

I have enjoyed using my 3DS XL enough that I started looking into the 3DS games I've missed over the past year or two (last retail game I bought was Kid Icarus). Slowly realizing that the 3DS lineup isn't as good as others led me to believe, because I'm not much into RPG/strategy games these days. If that Wii U Luigi Mansion rumor doesn't pan out I'll definitely pick that up, and maybe Crashmo, but I don't know what else.

Pretty much. It's usually a dust magnet for me, although with Zelda, Ace Attorney, and Senran Kagura, I've been playing it quite a bit.

Gotta try that Sega Space Harrier 3D port, too.

It has some pretty good high points, but overall its pretty average

I'd save your indifference towards FF6 iOS until they show more than just one screen...

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #1519 on:** December 06, 2013, 06:17:25 PM »

How is the 2DS?

Does it make sense to buy one?

Bravely Default has got my weaboo knees all week.

demi · « **Reply #1520 on:** December 06, 2013, 06:22:25 PM »

Apparently it fits pretty good in your hands. The only thing you miss is the 3D, which is probably not a dealbreaker for Bravely Default. The screens are also regular 3DS size - so you miss the big fat goodness of XL.

Cerveza mas fina · « **Reply #1521 on:** December 06, 2013, 06:28:41 PM »

I tried the 3d a few times in a store but it was pretty hard on the eyes, is it easier and cooler at home?

Do any games actually use the 3d?

Is the screen size big enough?

Damian79 · « **Reply #1522 on:** December 06, 2013, 06:56:19 PM »

Bravely default has some pay to win shit that bothers me. Like normally you get sp(sleep points) for not playing the game. On top of that you can buy sp drinks with real money that give you 15 sp each. Essentially they break the game it look to me or so it looks like so i will try and beat the game without it on hard of course.

The battery life isn't as good as the XL's either.

People keep saying how comfortable the 2DS is, which really makes me want to get one -the 3DS cramps my hands- but too many reviewers end up saying that they still like the XL better in the end.

HyperZoneWasAwesome · « **Reply #1525 on:** December 12, 2013, 10:40:39 PM »

HOLY SHITBURGERS GALAXY FORCE II!!!!

ahem (restrains self).

Man, this is good. Its weird being blown away by the spectacle of a 25-year-old game, but holy crap, M2 did one hellava job on this. The 3D is bloody amazing, and the game/tuning options are frigging great. They did a great job with Space Harrier, they did a great great job with Galaxy Force II.

bork · « **Reply #1526 on:** December 13, 2013, 09:46:44 AM »

Wasn't going to bother with Galaxy Force II -thought it was the Genesis version- but it's the arcade version so HOLY FUCKIN' SHIT SO BOUGHT.

Got Kingdom Hearts for Xmas and my busted L button is really killing me here lol. Also feel myself reaching for a non existent second slide pad, might just buy a Circle Pad Pro XL just for this.

They said it would be down from 4pm to 4am, don't know if that's going to be every day.

Himu · « **Reply #1531 on:** December 28, 2013, 06:28:21 PM »

what the fuck do people want at the eshop so much that has it down for so long

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #1532 on:** December 28, 2013, 08:47:04 PM »

I logged into the eShop yesterday afternoon and downloaded that sweet Yoshi's Island level for Sonic Lost World.

Tasty · « **Reply #1533 on:** December 28, 2013, 11:24:17 PM »

I don't give a fuck about the eShop, but every day that goes by without Pokemon Bank is another day my apartment could blow up and my 600+ unique caught Pokemon could go up in smoke.

So basically I'm ready to snap some motherfucking necks. POKEMON BANK NEEDS TO LAUNCH GODDAMNIT

Tasty · « **Reply #1534 on:** December 29, 2013, 11:45:36 PM »

eShop is back up fully, apparently. That's what, three and a half days of outage? Expected more tbh. This didn't even affect me.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #1535 on:** December 30, 2013, 12:06:40 AM »

If you're using PSN's outage as a metric then everything else is impressive.

(Reality: Anything more than 24h is a lot)

register a 3ds/2ds/3ds xl + one of the six games and you get a pokemon 3ds download code. only counts if the two are registered in march.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #1537 on:** February 25, 2014, 03:08:13 PM »

so does it have to be newly purchased stuff i wonder?

demi · « **Reply #1538 on:** February 25, 2014, 03:13:53 PM »

No, it cant tell when you bought it. Only when you entered the code on the website.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #1539 on:** February 25, 2014, 03:28:44 PM »

what i mean, and i was trying to word this correctly, I wonder if I can do this with my 3DS and game that I bought last year?

demi · « **Reply #1540 on:** February 25, 2014, 03:30:31 PM »

Again, yes, if you meet the criteria and havent used the codes.

Wish I hadn't already used my 3DS code cause I'd love to have X for events and stuff. Would give me incentive to get Yoshi too, which I'm on the fence about.

Rahxephon91 · « **Reply #1543 on:** February 25, 2014, 07:39:15 PM »

Well I got the 2DS. Kind of wish I hadn't. The screen is just so small. I mean I got it because I heard it was comfortable-it is- and it was cheaper, plus I don't care about 3D. It's just the screen isn't nice to look at. I may have been happier spending more to get a XL. Oh well.

I got Bravely Defualt(eh), Pokemon Y( I guess being in 3d is cool), and SMTIV. Hope this was all worth the money. Though I guess now I can have informed hate.

My XL got some sort of crack in the LCD screen. It's not an external crack on the screen, it seems to be on the inner LCD. I have no idea how it happened, perhaps it got crushed in some way in my coat pocket.

It bugs the shit out of me. Will probably sell it for peanuts and get a replacement.
