Hi all,

Less than a month ago, I purchased the Super Mario 3D Land New 3DS bundle and immediately installed the Mario Maker front/back plates. After some time playing around with the system, I felt that the bottom right hand side (when holding the 3DS) would depress and would also creak (near the location of the battery).

I replaced the Mario Maker back plate with the default glossy Mario plate and did not notice the same behavior; this other back plate felt more secure with almost no give/creaking. As the issue appeared to be related to the Mario Maker bottom plate, I went back to the retailer where I bought the unit and asked if I could swap plates from another box.

Trying the second Mario Maker back plate, the issue was still present; are there some plates that cause this issue while others do not?

Are other users here experiencing this issue as well?

The problem does not prevent me from enjoying the system but, from a build quality standpoint, there appears to be something wrong...

Thanks.

Bizarre how some plates are OK while others have more give around the battery; the battery side underneath is not as flush as the opposite side which I'm sure is the issue.

I ordered the Hanafuda cover plates online and they should be here early next week; I really hope that they are more rigid and don't creak...
