"If you've got enough chums locally you'll be able to play it unshackled through wireless communication"

How is being restricted to one level "unshackled"?

Saw Magic Hammer a couple weeks ago and was totally psyched for it. It's good to see more open world sandbox-ish games hitting the eShop, hopefully this one will be half-decent.

I tend to enjoy the Card Game far more than I enjoy the actual pokemon game, since there's no obnoxious levelling system that blots out the ability to play eachother fairly without grinding up to the other player's level, and the retreat system allows you to swap out your pokemon at any time without having to sit out a turn, (albeit there is a minor fee via the energy card system) massively increasing the variety of actions that you can perform per turn.

I think MatPat is a glutton for attention who obnoxiously spews clickbait titles, ridiculous hooks and exaggerated declarations, but his theories are usually on the mark, or at the very least, close enough to be interesting.

@MagicEmperor

Eh, wot? I'm sorry you feel that way. I'll try to come up with some more quirky dialogue for the next game.

Two's a party but three is a crowd.

How do I view the current results?

@AceTrainerBean
Monster Hunter X releases before this does.

Looking at the history of previous MH spin-offs, it seems almost certain that this one isn't going to see an English release either.

@drewodrew
AKA cough up another $200 or so dollars for a console that leaves you screwed if it gets damaged, lost, or is faulty as warranty and tech support for Japanese consoles have to go through Japan, and Nintendo of Japan don't operate internationally.

Piracy is possible with flash carts, not with homebrew.

I raise you the broken Mii Plaza updater

In fact, that's likely the sole reason for this update.

OMG that DJ K.K. remix is one of the best I've heard, blows this awesome midi out of the water.

I don't approve of the first paragraph.

@DerpSandwich
Hasn't the ability to move towns permanently been a feature in all Animal Crossing games? I'm certain it was in Wild World, and fairly sure of it being in Population Growing.

I'm like "YES, I'M FROM IPSWICH" but then I realized it's the one on the north side of the equator.

@Geonjaha
Hoo! It really isn't. Anyone who knows their way around their router settings can do this quickly and easily.
I say, this is genius. Why didn't I think of it?

@OldMan-Tech
Do you touch a lot of things with 24'6" poles?

I do hope that the backup function cannot be abused in order to dupe items in games.

Hot damn, I've logged 28 hours already.

@meltendo
Generally due to having a faulty connection? I think it does that even if one of your visitors bug out as well.
You can minimize the damage by saving frequently during multiplayer sessions (or ask the host to do so if you're a visitor)

@Guitardude7

Haha same, that Metroid one has one piece missing so that whole puzzle board becomes a black hole for play coins ^_^

@TruenoGT
Umm... what bug is that?

Well I can't speak for all you guys, but I loved the game. Activity Log says I've spent 6 hours on it.

@Mowzle I feel ya. Wild World was where I got my social "fix" (hint: I was a geek with few friends and I lived in a place in the middle of nowhere a.k.a Darwin) and I enjoyed the hourly soundtrack, fell in love with Mitzi, and all in all, had a blast.
I hope New Leaf captures and adds onto that quiet, personal experience.

Y'know you can increase the battery life of your DS if you buy a 2000mAh battery (as opposed to the stock 1750mAh for XL and the 1300mAh for 3DS)
Shouldn't set you back more than $10, although since the XL is new to the market, those batteries are a little scarce.

Also, apparently Nintendo did their best to give you the best battery life for the 3DS: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/357912/iwata-second-3ds-xl-circle-pad-sacrificed-for-bigger-battery-smaller-form/#
