People were returning so many 3DS units at launch due to dead pixels, screens getting scratched in transit, etc that Amazon stopped stocking Nintendo hardware. I don't even think the problems were that widespread, IIRC, Amazon just had an atypically generous returns policy that was biting 'em in the arse.

So now they're not going to stock what is probably going to be one of the more popular Christmas items in the Wii-U?
Seems strange to me.

It seems stupid to me.
It's not confirmed what caused it, people just assume it was the 3ds and its problems at launch
I can vouch for this.
There is a big difference between a game made for handheld and a handheld game. Lego Batman 2 is deffinitely the latter, in every negative sense possibly. Absolutely everything about it felt stripped down, rushed and badly implemented. The sound quality and presentation in particular were apalling.
Apparently it is to tough of a nut to crack for game journalist. See, Amazon said "no comment" and they didn't want to make them mad and hurt their obviously great and informative relationship so they didn't bother them again. They just return to asking Reggie questions and hoping he slips so they can act like they are super sleuths uncovering Al Capone's gold. Or top ten lists, those always work.
Dont know if that has been posted

Just format it normally in fat32. Copy everything over, unless you don't want the pictures folder.

FINALLY got Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise yesterday and I really like it so far!
Just out of curiosity, is there more than one garden in this version? I swear there's more in either the original or TIP. And when you're in the proper garden, there's no music, what happened to the Day 1, Day 2, etc music of the original?
Also, YUCK at the horridly compressed videos, Bink really rears it's ass in here, why not use Mobiclip at least?
Man, I want a 3DS version containing everything from both games so badly.

Don't know if this is news anymore, but just found out that this Nintendo - Amazon feud is getting more real as time passes by:
A month ago the 3DS appearead on that "handheld" box alongside the Vita, but not anymore, they edited that out since then. Wonder how much 'till they remove the Wii too.
3DS on blast

No we needs our precious LOTR game, we needs it.

Haha, Vita saved.
I loved Resident Evil Revelations too. I still think its the best 3DS game out there.
Fun, challenging, great music, tons of content, I love it.
Can't agree more. I'm totally hooked on raid mode.
Posting my bi monthly praise for New Art Academy
Really satisfying fun, I feel like I'm learning stuff I should have learned in school.. really cool software
I picked up Colors 3d while its on offer (only a saving of £1 or something, but every penny counts), and I LOVE the interface on that. The artwork people are creating with it is INSANE. Demoralisingly good work in some cases!
great work man, i cant really afford AA at the moment but would you reccomend colors 3d regardless?

It looks... surprisingly good?

No additional functions
Didn't Nintendo say something about they wanted their online system for 3DS to be like Kindle Fire? I thought there were some rumors that they were working with Amazon on their digital distribution system.
Colors 3D is great if you know how to draw. It doesn't teach you anything and just provides tools to create.
you can teach yourself by tracing photos taken with the camera
Colors offers a good suite of tools and online sharing options at a good price, but it won't make you suck any less. Art Academy offers a paltry selection of tools and features but the lessons are excellent and will teach you a lot of skills that you can transfer to the real world and/or to other apps like Colors.
So I heard there was a lack of good LEGO LotR footage. Posted some direct feed capture on my site http://ptoponline.com/?p=741

Ok, got a question and hoping people can help me.
I'm currently in the UK, flying back to Brisbane via Dubai on Tuesday. I'm looking at an XL (Despite the slightly overinflated price) to buy with Pokemon/NSMB 2, and my dilemma centres over whether to buy a PAL one here in the UK, or get one at Dubai Airport on the way home. I've read that they use 'NTSC' - would this mean it would play US games or is it a new region altogether?
On my Vita I use a US PSN account - the games are considerably cheaper than back home, even when bought digitally so I'm considering the same thing for my 3DS.
tl,dr: Will a Dubai 3ds play US games?

Haha, thanks. I've read a few sites that seem to suggest it will - just wanted to see if anyone here could 100% confirm it! Sounds like the way to go, considering UK eShop prices are hovering around the £40 mark.

Resident Evil: Revelations is ~$24 on Amazon right now. I have been meaning to get it and this seems like a good deal.
It's worth it for that price, for sure. Solid campaign and raid mode can be a lot of fun.
Go ahead and get it. It's a very good game.

Both PAL and NTSC 3DS are sold in the UAE depending on where you buy it from. I'm positive that 3DS sold in the airport are PAL. You'll have to go to one of the malls to get an NTSC one. You can tell it's region by the rating on the side whether it's PEGI or ESRB.

Ah, thanks! Will definitely check.
Just quoting for people who missed it at the end of the last page. If there is ever a demo you want a video of, and I missed it, just send me a PM. I only have a US 3ds though

They're called pips.
I shall quote myself too, then.
I don't do this to contradict you guys, or to call you out for anything, I do this so people really know that handheld Lego ports have a very very bad quality, everything is so damn rushed, the game may be fun, even awesome, but the porting job, the effort, the quality, is horrible.

You don't want it.
I do hope its not your last lego game since they are quite fun to play, the proper versions, that is.

I totally agree with you. Once again, the Lego games are developed by TT Fusion, and are nothing like the console Lego games. They are slightly enhanced ports from the DS. This same version is used for PSP and Vita too.
Yes, yes and yes.
