@3Dash I was at first really disappointed at the lack of 3D, but once I played it, I was happy it didn't have it. Your eyes have to look up and down between the two screens a ton. It would get sickening with the 3D.
@sillygostly - I think a lot of NLifer's have bought all of the DLC - including me. So it is about time =P @WiiLovePeace - They're both awesome games, you'd be happy with either if you like platforming!
It's such a pretty console. But no internet and no gamecube? Who would buy that - sometimes retailers in the US of A sell the Wii itself for the same price during sales.
This was (in my opinion) the only good Domo game from the Domo DSiWare series. Pretty solid game, and a bit of a challenge. I had a lot of fun with it for a while. So if you don't already have it, this is a good one to get.
@Philip_J_Reed I have to agree on that there are some games I would prefer to have on my system, and some not. Crosswords Plus is a good example I must say.
The price for me is a bit of a turn-off. Since here, they're usually the same (or even more!) for a download, I don't like that. If I have to get a new 3DS because mine actually breaks, there's not really anything I can do.
@Tyeforce The emulator is downloaded each time you buy a Virtual Console game. But, they don't have to specially tailor it for each game. All Gameboy Color games on the eShop are using the same emulator, just with their ROM.
The manuals are made for them and I'm sure that costs money. As for the comment about it being on the server, since Nintendo owns those servers, I don't think that costs them anything more than not having them on there.
No, I'm not saying the emulation of games in an unintended manner is right, just clearing up what you said here.
@kyuubikid213 A lot of people use them legally, only for playing homebrew games and/or as a media device, myself included. I've never pirated and I own one.
@SomeBitTripFan The power grip for the 3DS is available at Best Buy. (At least, when I was there a week or two ago). The only "data" you would lose would be the system clock/calender (you'll need to reset those), what brightness you had your screen on, and if you had wireless toggled on or off.
I think it would be logical to make some applications for smartphones, but I doubt a conventional Mario game would be a good fit.
It just seems that Nintendo wants quality, which demands a higher price, and they most likely wouldn't be open to making a small, $0.99 app for phones. I do think they should make an Android and Apple application of Duck Hunt... maybe with an option to shoot that annoying dog too...

Do you have to install the system update to access the shop?

Random 3DS Update for System Stability? That's Nintendo-speak for flashcart blocking @_@

@CactusJackson Not to mention, he might have his Google AdSense hooked to his Youtube, making even more money.

@GameLord08 If we could like posts, I'd make seven accounts to all like that post.
Re: Review: Real Heroes Firefighter 3D (3DS)
Sad that they send a review copy and get such a bad review xD
Re: Simple Workaround Allows You To Play Wii U Games Off An SD Card
I don't think Nintendo could block it, even if they wanted to. Although it would be silly for them to block it.
Re: Capcom Loses Rights to Sell Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
@EvisceratorX The whole extreme score thing made me laugh for a looonnggg time.
I got it at Goodwill for $5 new (the box was damaged though). Fun game, never got into it that much, though.

@Morphtroid I think so. I might buy a kids meal for that.... rofl

Re: Pro-Putt Domo Is The Latest Downloadable Treat On Club Nintendo
This was (in my opinion) the only good Domo game from the Domo DSiWare series. Pretty solid game, and a bit of a challenge. I had a lot of fun with it for a while. So if you don't already have it, this is a good one to get.
Re: Feature: Pokémon's Controversial History
@Klyo I was expecting this to be on the story too.
Re: Nintendo Invades Scribblenauts Unlimited
So this is only in the Wii U version, and not 3DS? Lame...
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Takes One Step Forward, One Back With Retail Downloads

Re: PETA Targets Pokémon Black & White 2 in Latest Campaign
@Morphtroid I agree that they must have played Pokemon.
Re: Hands On: Is New Super Mario Bros 2 DLC Worth Your Golden Coins?
I got all three. Gold Rush pack is the one I like the most, which I thought I would like the least originally. Still trying to hit 30k on that one!
Level Pack A is kinda challenging I think. Not impressive, but not bad.
Nerve Wrack Pack = aughhhhhh. Can't even beat the first level.
Re: PETA Targets Pokémon Black & White 2 in Latest Campaign
@UnclePorkchop I'm not saying it's right. It is pretty gross. I think it's wrong of them to do.
And it seems like they may have played the games, but not ever watched the anime. Ash doesn't keep Pikachu in his ball.
Re: PETA Targets Pokémon Black & White 2 in Latest Campaign
@UnclePorkchop They're going for the shock factor, just like they do with a lot of stuff.
Re: PETA Targets Pokémon Black & White 2 in Latest Campaign
I actually laughed out loud playing this.
"I hope this isn't another sad video"
"I herd u liek Mudkips"
"I thought you were for the liberation of Pokemon!"
"Didn't you play the last game? Plot twist!"
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Seven
NSMB2 and Pokemon B2!

I don't think I'm going to be getting any unless I happen to get a points card for my birthday (on the 4th actually).

Re: 3DS System Update Locks Out a Lot of Flashcards, Permanently
Annnddddd nobody seems to care that flashcards are used by a lot of people ONLY for homebrew applications, and not at all for pirating -sigh-
Re: Super Mario 3D Land Clone Hits iPhone, and Looks Rubbish
@Shworange While the game looks like it sucks, they didn't "copy Nintendo's coding"
Re: Pachter: Expect a Wii U Price Cut Next Year
That guy looks like a younger version of the guy who does "Will It Blend?"
Re: This New 3DS Stylus Is Handy for Massaging Your Face
What... I don't ev... umm... what?
Re: Does This iOS Monster Battling Game Remind You of Anything?
Eh. The game honestly isn't gonna make people buy it over Pokémon... (Seriously, look at this game. It looks like it sucks).
By the way, nobody gave this kinda grief to Crystal Monsters. Heck, that was on the DSiWare store!
Re: Rising Board 3D Hits The eShop Surf on 20th September
Day 1 Buy. If anything, just to support the dev. I loved Pop Island (and the sequel), along with Glory Days Tactical Defense.
Re: North America, Award Yourself This Kirby Medal
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY COINS. Just kidding. It's cool, but I'll save my coins for download games most likely.
Re: North America, Game Boy Tennis Is Your New Club Nintendo Reward
Playing GB Tennis the way I do takes a lot of balls.
And by that, I mean I'm not nearly as good as it as Mario Tennis Open.
Re: What Not To Do With Your Brand New 3DS XL
How does he consider that artwork? Just wondering...
Re: Nintendo Power Magazine Looks Set to Shut Down
That really sucks. Was actually about to resubscribe (until I heard this).

Was thinking that the instant I saw shoulder button test.
Re: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Races to Over 20 Characters
I wouldn't be surprised by racing as Miis in the 3DS or Wii version.
Re: Club Nintendo's Gold and Platinum Prizes Have Emerged
Cards are pretty, getting them. Wish I had been platinum last year and gold this year, not vice versa.
Re: Petit Computer Lets You Make Games on Your DSi and 3DS
FINALLY.
Re: Nintendo to Offer Triple Layer of Miiverse Moderation
I think a moderation system as mentioned should be optional, so that if you're over however many years old, you can opt out of that.
Re: Review: James Noir's Hollywood Crimes (3DS)
I like the game's puzzles. Not a bad deal picking it up from Goodwill for $15.

YEAAAHHHHHHH!

Re: Feature: Nintendo Banks on Its Old Money Makers
Nintendo should really either publish a TOTALLY different game with new IP, or another reboot of an old franchise. Ice Climbers, anyone?
Re: Review: Metal Torrent (DSiWare)
Not crazy about it tbh. Easy mode is too easy, and hard is too hard.
