Nintendo 3DS Games: what does this thing have?

Has Nintendo said anything about more full retail games releasing at the eShop?

Every single Nintendo-published retail game will see both a retail and digital release from now on. Nothing has been said about pre-NSMB2 games going up though

I don't think anything has been said about 3rd parties other than some list that has already been posted

it's a tales game :/

Nah. It's a Tales game.
ha

Yeah, I hate TotA. Soured me on the entire Tales series :(
 
Holy cow, can't believe it took me half a year to realize that the 3D pics I've been taking actually looks good when adjusting the view of the pic using the circle pad in the gallery. By default, all of them are zoomed to fit horizontally so the view is cropped and the 3D isn't very pronounced. If you zoom out to the full pic (circle pad down) and then adjust the 3D (circle pad right), I think that is how they are supposed to be viewed in 3D.
 
Any must have RPGs right now? I'm going insane waiting on Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon that I need games that'll last me a looooooooooooooooong time :(

Devil Survivor 2 and Devil Survivor Overclocked. Long games with multiple endings, secret bosses, and achievements.
 
So I bought a copy of KI:U when it came out and haven't touched it, got some free time and really wanna play it but I'm going to assume I should wait until I get a XL.
 
I bought TotA a few weeks ago and it made me realize that I just don't like Tales games. I need to stop trying.

If anyone wants to trade, let me know.
 
I've heard the stand still works with the XL.

I think I gave the stand one try and inmediatly shelved it 'cause I had to hunch to play well. Having the system on my hand just worked out great for me.

Burn it and release yourself from this burden
 
BONEY YOUR TASTE IN GAME SUCKS HOLY SHIT

I think it depends on the user. I have small hands (I'm not a guy), so I've never experienced the ergonomic issues that many people have reported in relation to using the standard 3DS for extended periods of time. Moreover, I prefer higher pixel density to a larger screen. However, the latter point is really a matter of preference. For reference, the size of the 3DS XL screen brings the pixel density down to 96 ppi, roughly that of the DSi, whereas the original 3DS has a pixel density of 132 ppi.

I want an XL because the new screens have a lot less glare but my hands are gonna cry in pain :(

yeah I'm definitely somebody who thinks the og 3ds is too small but then again I too prefer higher pixel density to a larger screen. Idk.

Screen glare isn't something I've ever really considered when looking at electronics since I have no intention of using the device under direct light.
 
The confirmed ones, as far as I know:

-Kingdom Hearts 3D
-Epic Mickey The Power of Illusion
-Paper Mario Sticker Star
-Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon
-Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle (EU confirmed, I doubt that it will not be released on NA eShop also)
-Castlevania Lords of Shadows
-Scribblenauts Unlimited
I'd be heartbroken if Animal Crossing didn't make this list.

As for KI:U being $15, if true I'll have to buy a few copies as gifts for some friends.

GOTY by a mile for me.
 
Saw a commercial for this earlier today (the movie). Looks interesting.

EDIT: oh what the hell it's directed by Genndy Tartakovsky.

It's made by Sony Animation. They make some quality stuff (Cloudy w/ Meatballs, Surf's Up, Pirates, etc.)

It could be good, I have seen nothing of the movie though
 
The Fluidity: Spin Cycle PAX demo is pretty great. I got the first on the Wii from Club Nintendo but haven't played much of it, but after watching this I want to go and play more of Fluidity.
 
FINALLY!

That sounds awesome. Has this game already received a US date?

Pretty sure Kingdom Hearts 3D isn't coming, that was a mistake. Seems like whatever is keeping Birth By Sleep from PSN is the same reason why it might not come to (Disney? Square Enix has a big part of their catalogue available and every other game from when they started releasing games digitally except BBS, so I'd have a hard time imagining why they'd have anything against it).

If Disney is the problem, I think that they have a problem only with the KH series, since Epic Mickey is coming to the eShop.

Or both of them were a mistake.

I'm pretty sure Most of Disneys games are on PSN. Theres even a big section for them. I think the BBS thing was more square's idea than disneys
 
A quick question - if I want to sell my old 3ds (getting a new one in december), what should I clear? Got internet history/cookies. Is there any way to clear my profile and such while still keeping the ambassador games on it, or no?
 
Pretty sure you need another 3ds to transfer all your stuff first before you can wipe out the data on your old one. Else you'd lose your ambassador status permanently
 
Thank you for your interest in PO NDS-PO FINAL FANTASY: THE 4 HEROES O (sku 2011407) on BestBuy.com. Your order is currently on backorder and, unfortunately, we will not be receiving more product. As a result your order will be canceled.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I got the same email, but I just looked at my bestbuy account, and it still has it as "Order in Process." Also, I just got a charge on my credit card yesterday for that transaction. So, I don't know whats going on, or if they expect me to manually cancel the order.

I don't think so. If they've charged your card, then the item should be shipping soon.
 
My card got charged and then had the amount taken back the same day or the next. If you go to their website it's still available for $5 but there is no shipping option. Assumedly, you could still receive it if you got in before me or live in an area where they had more copies. There were no copies within 150 miles of me.

edit: My order status also still shows order in process.
