Re: Nintendo Download: 5th March (Europe)

I bought OlliOlli for about £1.50 on PSN a few weeks ago, and much as I'd prefer it on a Nintendo console, it's so buggy and broken on both my Vita and PS3 that I'm wary of spending any more money on it.

Also, OlliOlli 2 is out this week on other consoles, so it's a bit old hat now anyway.

Re: Pokémon Shuffle Hits One Million Downloads

For what it's worth, I used to play a lot of iOS games. Many morphed into F2P with IAPs, and so I simply stopped playing. Eventually, 95% of the games on the App Store were either plastered full of adverts, or impossible to play without IAPs, so I gave up playing iOS games completely.

If Pokemon Shuffle was £5 and no IAPs, I'd buy it. But as it is, I'm not paying a penny.

@Crimson_Ridley If she has a New 3DS or New 3DS XL, then you can do a system transfer from her machine to your new one, then wait a number of days (I think it's 14, but not sure) before it will allow you to transfer it back to hers complete with the game. If she has a "not New" 3DS/XL then you can't do this as you can't do a system transfer from the New 3DS to the not-New 3DS.

@TossedLlama I predict even more complaining that the new 3DS they bought isn't a New 3DS, and trying to complain to the hapless staff in Game that there's a difference between a "new 3DS" and a "New 3DS". Stupid naming. In 10 years time it'll still be called "New 3DS" even though it'll have been superseded at least twice by then.

@JaxonH The data doesn't get deleted - the 3DS just creates a new folder for it but doesn't move it in there. I don't know why it does this, but it does. Some of the data is something you might never notice - some street passes, or extra data for a game you no longer play, but plenty of people HAVE noticed, and merging the folders fixes it.

@Nicolai Depends on the speed of your card, speed of your wireless, speed of your internet connection, and how many files you have (and how big they are). I saw someone on Twitter transfer a nearly full 8GB card and it took more than 6 hours. Also, if you have some DSiWare titles, they transfer separately and seem to take longer (despite being generally smaller).

@JaxonH Sorry to disagree, but I disagree. What you're saying is logically true, but isn't actually the case. I have first hand experience (several times over) and have helped hundreds (literally) of people recover missing data by re-doing the SD transfer but using the initialise then merge folders method.
