@WoomyNNYes I'm sure you have, but have you looked it up online? I remember there was one time I did that with a used game and there was no way I could find to delete the old save file, but I found online there is apparently some random button combination to hold down on the startup screen that will do like a hard reset and delete everything (like X, A, R, and Start or something strange). And I mean everything on the cartridge, not the system.

@Dogorilla That does seem weird. And yet other games in their respective franchises are? That would be driving me crazy, especially with how many of those games are rising up to obscene prices physical. Used even.

@Xyphon22 Shucks. No such luck. I only found search results of people confirming that SEGA told them they can't clear the game save on Monkey Ball 3D. Well, it was a good idea @Xyphon22, thanks for the suggestion<3

@Tyranexx It is strange, especially because I'm pretty sure those games have been on sale here before (Radiant Historia certainly has because I bought it on sale). At least Atlus's games tend to be reasonably priced on the eShop even when they're not on sale. I don't know if they did this in all regions but in Europe they significantly lowered the prices of some games once they'd been out for a while; Etrian Odyssey IV is only £8.99 on the eShop even when it's not on sale, for example.

@Xyphon22 @WoomyNNYes The button combination trick is for DS games. I've not heard of an equivalent for 3DS games. But if you run custom firmware on your 3DS, you may be be able to manage your way around the situation. I bought the Monkey Ball 3D game used and don't recall encountering a save file issue, but it was a while ago, and I suppose I could have just got a copy that didn't have any save data, but that would have been unusual.

But generally speaking, if I have a 3DS cart with save data, when I rip the .cia file to my 3DS's internal storage, it only dumps the game, not the save. If I want the save data too I have to use a separate save data manager to copy it over.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

There’s another trick you can try. If you pull the cart out when saving it may corrupt the save data which then defaults to the original blank non saved state.

😠😠😠Terrible idea. Eel!?, @jump is making terrible ideas. haha<3

Corrupted game saves can only be solved by making a new game save file, which is what we can't do here. So, I'm not going to go down that road. If you were playing around, I still appreciate the @jump

On the plus side, as far as I could see, I think the game came with like 30% complete, which is much better than everything being completed.

@Dogorilla Yep, that is a perk work Atlus's 3DS eShop offerings; they significantly dropped the prices some time ago. Etrian Odyssey IV is normally $19.99 going by the eShop price. Same with Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology. So $9.99/half off for those two isn't bad at all.

3DS is dead, but I might be getting a 2DS XL. Which games (outside of ACNL, Tomodachi life and miitopia) do you guys recommend?

Do you even drift, bro? I'm just playing with you there, cause there's drifting in Mario Kart.

Mario Kart 7 online racing is still active. I still play some every 2-3 months. MK7 is very similar to Mario Kart 8; the character weight classes are the same, karts & parts stats are similar to MK8. So, if you wanted new Mario Kart 8 content, Mario Kart 7 can serve that purprose. And getting 3 star ratings on all cups is a decent challenge. AI can be a bit ruthless at times in150cc, but eventually, skill will get you 3 stars on a cup.

@WoomyNNYes I was thinking about MK7. The 2DS XL i was looking at comes with it!

@octokid I hope you can find a decent deal. 2DS XL's have been at scalper prices since fall/winter, or longer. Around $300+ dollars for a new one in the US.

@WoomyNNYes I'm in Canada, and I found one for auction. It's in good condition, a few scratches but they don't bother me. So far the highest bid is $38 USD, which is 42 Canadian. Doesn't have a box which might explain good prices.
Edit, I meant 45 Canadian bucks. Edit 2: Things just escalated really fast, up to 75 USD! 90 Canadian!

That’s an amazing price, I would so jump on this.

The PSVR is the best VR system on the market today.

@Wavey84 When I finally get around to playing 3D OOT, it will be my first proper go with the title.
Sacrilege to some people but there just wasn't the money when I was growing up so I had to pick and choose carefully...Zelda just wasn't on my radar.
I've grown to appreciate the series so hopefully I'll enjoy it.

Hang on to your youthful enthusiasms - you'll be able to use them better when you're older.

@theblackdragon Definitely Luigi's mansion dark moon. It's a really Entertaining game. The game is divided up into missions which is really nice because you can just play one mission and feel accomplished. I always feel like i need to to more in luigi's mansion 1 and in think the game being divided up into missions is especially good for when you just need something to do for 15 minutes or so.
Thank you for your time

I've been giving Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology a try lately and I have to say, it's pretty good. Slow to start but it's getting better the more I play.

What good Metroidvania games would you recommend on 3ds?

@BongoBongo123 Perhaps a really obvious one, but Samus Returns is excellent if you've not yet played that.
