Are you using an OG 3DS? I hurts my hand as well but I suspect its just because the OG 3DS's form factor was just terrible.
Ages is definitely a lot more focused on the world and the story within, while Seasons is more eager to put you out on the front lines to face enemies. Of course since they're both Zelda games they have both elements in them, but it's fair to say that Seasons is more focused on the action and Ages is more focused on the world building.
Personally I think Seasons is more fun.
No I have an XL.
I'm using an OG and I found it helped immensely to use my thigh as a place to rest the bottom of the DS while using the stylus, with my knee pointed up and my foot on the bed/chair/whichever. BTW, what kind of intensity levels are you playing on? Be sure to make use of the idol toss and weapon crafting! And power selection.

I've been playing intensity 5 usually.

Put your right pinky behind the screen to support and the rest of your fingers behind the console. For the stylus, hold it like a pencil.
I played for hours on the OG and no issues .
Sweet. You'll get some good rewards that way. Plus, you'll get to replay everything at 9.0 for a completely different experience. (I haven't yet but plan to!)
Yesss the leg rest, GOAT. Forget about this pinky business, we don't all have super pinkies!
I mean, I bought KI:U because of that and because its retail price seems to have gone up. The one I'm debating is FE:A because its price hasn't gone to strange places yet, and like I said I still have to buy SSB4 and I really want SF643D, even though I have played the original a shit-ton

I kinda did that. Only physical I have on 3DS now is SMTIV, Pokemon and Prof Layton. A 32gb SD Card is the best thing I've ever done for this 3DS.
My WiiU got converted to all digital except ZombiU. I need to buy an HDD for it.

F Zero is good but Tropical Freeze is a million times better.

Between the three of those, your priority is Tropical Freeze. The other two are potentially available as part of the regular rotation of Club Nintendo rewards (as the 3D Classics version of the NES Kid Icarus was a month or two ago), and neither will last you nearly as long. Given that the discounts don't go as steep as 40%, however, I expect the sale price for DKC:TF will be around $35.
ive played Kid Icarus for like an hour but it seems okay if im resting the XL on my legs
I think it helps that im using the phat stylus from my DSi XL
playing at 5.0 too for now
I got Kid Icarus in the sale and i'm using a 2DS and it plays really good, really enjoying the game

I'm definitely loving it always on my system. It's the perfect game for that.
If Tropical Freeze is $30 I'm buying it.

Ahh don't do this to me Nintendo. I'm going to pick up a $50 eShop card soon and picking up Minish Cap, LTTP, MMX, and MMX2 for sure. Looking at the OP though I totally forgot I wanted Metroid as well. Barring that, I would've had enough. I really wish these VC were cheaper in the first place.
Sad thing is that if TF were $30, I'd get back $5 from DDP.
I'm still finishing up the final bits of DKCR3D (ugh at those final temple levels), but this sale is exactly the right occasion for me to pull the trigger on Tropical Freeze.
I am so behind on my gaming.
Nnnnnnnng you made me really think about it, if the price is good enough I guess I'll double dip, it wouldn't be the first time

They're guaranteed, but there will definitely be more than the listed ones, based on how this has gone so far. I'm guessing Wii Party U and/or Tomodachi Life will be on sale because of the Miis at least.

good thing that a game on a handheld automatically changes into a non handheld game when not played on a handeld

2 or X. Can't go wrong with either.
Cool. I'll go with 2, as X isn't on the eShop (PAL at least)
Edit: oh I'm dumb. I'll get it on Wii U
Edit 2: Haha, or not... not on sale in Australia ;_; ah well, I got 2 on 3DS.
You can start with either one, I prefer Seasons because that's the one I had as a kid but Ages is just as good. They also differ slightly based on the order you play them =)

I wish they would announce ahead of time what's going to be on sale, so I can accurately judge how fucked I am

Can your cart Animal Crossing save be converted to be used by the digital version? I've been trying to go all digital, but the cartridge never leaves my console anyway so it's not a huge deal if the save doesn't transfer.

Absolutely! There is a save-data transfer tool to download from the eShop. It requires you already own the digital version, but it basically takes the save data from the cart and moves it to the digital version, then resets the cart so it's like you're turning it on for the first time.
There's no like, save-file select or anything (for any other games), it's all or nothing. But totally possible, I do it all the time

Either is a great place to start. Ages is more puzzle-based and Seasons is more action-based, but they each have plenty of both so you won't be playing a fundamentally different game. They're both Zelda. The extra side-quests differ depending on which you start with, but you don't miss out on the extra unlockable items for either. Also, the end plot for the combined games remains the same no matter which one you start with.

Yeah, this absolutely right way to play KI:U. It's like a guitar posture, becomes really comfortable after a while and gives you the best accuracy.You can also cross your legs if you like. I also reccomend tuning control sensitivity almost to the max for better response and fun.
