Aw that’s sweet having him be Papa Mario. Even more so if they reference the whole “Jump Man is Mario’s Dad” thing.

Ok, so… Poochy can drive!?

It’s too bad that it seems devs could not make special offers on DSiWare software, I’m sure it would’ve remained more relevant throughout the years had they had the ability to discount their prices every now and then, to make them more visible.

Daisy will come in, battle ready, kicking their door down, saying they’re needed again

I redeemed a random code I found on Twitter, and indeed, it worked.

@acuphoria updates on the 3DS can be a bit convoluted. It might be in the updates section of the eshop’s menu, or it could also be in the shop itself as a separate “software”. Try searching for it on both.

@Bunkerneath you should totally make a video tour of the whole collection

@Bunkerneath excuse me what

They released over six thousand badges?

😵‍💫

Good news! It appears to be working now!

My subscription ended literally days ago so you can bet I’m upset.

@OFFICIALMichi well it’s just that, switch the machines back and forth and the boxes will move forward very slowly. It will not look like they're moving, but trust me, they are.

I’d recommend to do it until the first block falls down the chute and the second one falls diagonally on the next step (where the first box was), perhaps a little bit more to make sure you have enough room to properly grip the third box with the claw.

The claw will struggle after picking it up because the second block will be in the way, but eventually both will be pushed through and fall. And there you go, the whole set with only one try!

I’m sure you could also just keep at it until all three slid down the chute, but that would probably take hours.

They were free yesterday as well, I had assumed they always were.

It’s interesting that the shop can still “sell” these two. You’d think the other free themes would’ve been able to stay up as well.

This was officially the last DSiWare game I bought, before the eshop closure. After many years of being curious about it.

I seriously hope this Transporter error is an oversight and they’ll fix it, because dangling the free Bank service like a carrot in front of us, while secretly planing to make Transporter permanently unusable for everyone that didn't recently renew their Bank subscription would be a huge jerk move on TPC’s part.

Because why would anyone even consider renewing it right before it goes free?

@domatron66 now THAT’S worrying!

To be fair, several sites did talk about it, but The Pokémon Company was never super clear on the future of Poke Transporter itself.

They said Bank would become free to use, but didn’t really directly state you needed to pay the subscription at least once to use Poke Transporter.

It’s worth mentioning that the “free trial” counter will supposedly continue to go down, but it’ll just reset every time it reaches 0.

@CharlieGirl yeah I’m curious about that too. I assume not?

A bit of a fun fact about one of the machines left in the game:

In the machine with the Mario system icons encased in big square blocks, if you move back and forth between that machine and the next one, the blocks move forward ever so slightly- little by little. If you keep doing it for a really long time, they’ll eventually fall without even having to start the machine.

@CharlieGirl well, there’s still the free tries you can win from the practice machine. But that’s one to three daily tries tops.

Enough to complete some of the now permanent sets, but perhaps not the most complex ones.

Sigh. Well I guess I have all the badges I’ll ever need, but it would have been nice to get a few different machines on a set rotation just for gameplay variety.

@MetalMan 2DSs become an addiction

Lemme think…. the original aqua model was the first ever video game product I preordered online, and later I got a blue og Xl due to the increased screen size. That one although it looked fine at first, it aged quickly, and the circle pad fell off. But then they announced the 2DS, and I got a blue one.

That original 2DS worked fine, but the moment they released the transparent blue 2DS I fell in love with that, and so my original 2DS became the very first console I ever sold.

Then the New 3DS XL came out, and I got the grey one as a gift. So I moved my account. But… To be honest I still liked the 2DS. So I started a second account on the transparent 2DS and began using both. Eventually I got a Pokeball 2DS XL for christmas, and I sold the grey n3DSXL.

Some time later, my blue 2DS started having very short battery life, and I eventually replaced it with a Zelda edition green 2DS, which is the one I still currently use.

A year or two ago I also managed to get an inverse blue 2DS, and a white-orange 2DS XL for cheap, which I keep new in the box, as replacements for the future.

So… That makes 9 total! Granted a few of them were gifted to me, and I no longer have access to four of them.

@chipia he pirates the power!

@Ichiban assuming that’s the general consensus among fans of the genre and/or franchise that played it back in the day, yes?

@Ichiban this is a weird one to lump with infamously bad games, a lot of people do consider it a “GameCube classic”

The original Mario died many decades ago, shortly after the incident that brought him to the Mushroom Kingdom.

However, the mycelium is smart. The mycelium is kind. It accepted his consciousness into the colony, and was able to save his essence. And thus Mario was reborn.

He has been reborn countless times since then. And he will continue, for as long as the mycelium exists. Just like everyone who sets foot into the Mushroom Kingdom.

I have been unable to even enter the Arcade for months now.

Imagine the switch version ending up being the most stable

@msvt you need to have your NNID (the old accounts the WiiU and 3DS used) tied to a modern Nintendo Account, and then you can use a Switch or the Nintendo website to add funds to your wallet .

@Acein210 @PipeGuy64Bit people are free to spend their money as they please.

@B_BIackNinja_N it seems to me like the backgrounds were painted in Colors, and Inchworm probably has a way to import pictures from your 3DS gallery and a way to record or import audio as well. Then the actual animation is done in Inchworm itself.

Hah that ending made me chuckle

@k8sMum if the Nintendo Network ID (the one on the 3DS) has been tied to the Nintendo Account (the one in the switch) the the funds will be shared automatically.

You can link them in your account settings on the Nintendo website.

Funny, I’ve been playing Pokemon Quest lately, and Snorlax is the one pokemon I’m missing in the pokedex there. It has been impossible to find, it’s been weeks.

Sad Eel noises

Ok, for whomever designed the Japanese one: wut

@MythTgr well, you said it yourself there at the end. This is not the place be if you want a romance novel, there’s franchises that provide that but Harvest Moon isn’t one of them.

It looks so much better graphically than their previous games, it’s honestly so nice to see them evolve and improve.

Can’t wait to see more of the game.

@Waluigi451 and the Celebi can be shiny, so it’s also a must for any shiny hunters!

Got Yellow and Crystal on my 2DS some weeks ago. Already had them on the XL, but I use the 2DS more so why not.

They’ll be the only shared games. Otherwise I have a nice color-coded separation on both consoles: the 2DS has the reds, while the XL has the blues. The only one I’m missing is vanilla Sun… but I don’t think it’s needed…

Ah thanks for reminding me about the save data transfer tool. I don't have that on my 2DS.

Interestingly enough, that’s not the cheapest price they’ve had for Revelations. A few months ago they had it for 2 bucks.

With Minior in Pokemon, Rosalina's Lumas in Smash Bros, and this Luma, it simply seems Nintendo's star-shaped creatures are completely ok with knowing they're temporary.

That’s one cool name for a cockroach

Surprised pikachu face

My top tree are: Breath of the Wild, Chao Garden, and Harvest Moon Cow.

Gotta get them costumes while you can

@Fizza to be fair, we know the origin story of one suicune. Doesn’t mean they all came from the same place.

@WoomyPearl aachhtually that’s clearly Lady, not Pauline

That DK looks like it could be the mascot of some fnaf clone
