Topic: New 3DS

Has anyone bought a New 3DS off PlayAsia yet? Maybe that white one? I'm tempted to get it when I upgrade. I just find it weird they don't announce or do an actual release certain colors for certain regions, but they've made the respective systems. Is it because some Asian countries apparently use NA region? Or is there some other reason? I mean it's not super duper important but why are there 4 colors for NA, white blue red and black, but only 2 are actually sold.

I finally cracked and got the Animal Crossing New 3DS, since that's the only way to get the small sized New 3DS here.

Except I hate the Animal Crossing face plates. I'd like to ask some opinions on whether I should spend $30 for a set of Hello Kitty face plates or $15 for a plain set from Nintendo's online shop. >_>

i have the hello kitty faceplates and I love them. They look amazing.

Hello,

I was wondering how the system transfer works. I have a N3DS XL and I'm getting the Pokemon 20th anniversary edition. I was wondering if it works like it did from the original XL too the N3DS. I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I can't find the answer on google it just comes up the XL > "N3DS".

@Pink_Floyd: Yes, it's exactly the same as your last transfer.

@spooneytech thank you for the fast replay.

So I'm gonna try to get the pokemon bundle next weekend. There's some 3ds games I want to play. Plus don't think we are getting new handheld this year.

Hello! I'm just wondering for those of you who own multiple 3DS consoles: how do you manage using them? Do you do a system transfer and have the old one on the shelf while the other one gets used more often? Do you create a new NNID on the new one and equally use both of them? Or do you have only one NNID and still manage to use each 3DS at equal times?

I have a black New 3DS XL and have been planning to buy that Pokémon New 3DS. But I was worried that I might not fully use each console since my XL is still new. I was thinking I'd buy the Pokémon 3DS and that's where I'll play some casual games like MK7 or Smash since it's more portable. But then I'd have to make a new NNID for it, or do I have to? I was also thinking it'd be more of a "streetpass slave" as they'd call it.

I have the LOZ 3DS and the Red New 3DS. My primary is the Red, while the LOZ sits on the shelf. On the occasion where we have a 3DS multiplayer session, then the LOZ 3DS comes out of retirement. Other than that, it remains unused which is ok with me.

You can still use the other 3DS to play games, but if you want to use account related apps like the eShop, then you'd need to create an ID. I don't see why you would want to create a second ID, but you can if you want to for whatever reason.

Finally bit the bullet and ordered the Nwe 3ds Animal Crossing bundle from Wal-Mart for $199. My old 3 ds xl is getting tired and I really wanted the regular size. I'll pass it on to my son. Tomorrow is my birthday and it will be here Wednesday.

Question: is the game pre loaded or downloaded? I don't care about the game and would like to pass it along to my daughter in law if I can.

it's a download code. it's not preinstalled on the AC New 3DS. so you will be able to pass it on to your daughter in law

@Pokefanmum82:

Brilliant! Thanks muchly.

It read an article that said Xenoblade Chronicles were exclusive to New 3DS XL. That doesn't mean that it isn't available for a regular New 3DS? I want to get the regular because the weight is better for me, but I don't want to exclude myself from either the Snes VC or any RPG's that is mainly the reason for getting it in the first place..

@Winter: It's exclusive to the New 3DS family (so both New 3DS and New 3DS XL). You can't play it on the original 3DS models.

@Grumblevolcano: Thank you for confirming! I thought that was extremely weird.

I'm still not convinced about New 3DS. I might upgrade to the NEW not XL this fall, if it's $50 with trading in an older XL, but otherwise I'm not convinced by Xenoblade.

My New 3DS XL seems to have an input lag when I always press the up on the d-pad. This only occurs when I turn it on the first time. Like for something to go up on D-pad, it takes half a second delay and then responds as normal. I noticed this during my playthrough with Fates whenever I move the menu up, it like had some delay and then moved up and then acts normally.

I need to know if this is normal for something like this to happen.

If it only happens while you turn it on, then it's probably the 3DS loading stuff and getting ready, which gives the controls some lag.

@Meowpheel: Yeah...I thought so myself. So guess its normal then right?

I'm only worried if it worsens the situation like slowly it'll repeatedly lag even during gameplay. But I don't think that'll happen....I hope.

I highly doubt that will happen. Don't worry.
