this isn't a bad price considering conquest and birthright are going to be £35 each as two extra games. Or do the downloads get a discount if you get them on the eshop, whilst having the Fates on cartridge?
Definitely physical for me, but indie titles of course digital is welcome. If there was no physical releases at all, then I am done. I still have plenty of games to go back to anyways
only reason I got a new 3DS is because my 3DSXL had a dodgy wifi slider. I do like it, but so much potential not used. But its also like my DSi again, I feel like a right muppet some times lol. Kerching Nintendo!
And I forgot about Tvii, that was one thing that I was wanting to try. I am in UK, so never got a chance - heard it wasn't so great, I still would have used it for casual use. But if they made more effort and actually delivered what they promised, things would have turned out better. Crazy! There was this thing about connecting Wii U to 3DS but that has gone kind of quiet too.
@Mrclaycoat Also its not even been 3 years that it has been available I think? Heck, I use some apps elsewhere that are digital / web based and have been going for ten years or more and still supported.
@Mrclaycoat Thanks! I didn't pay for it also, I know people who have. I still like using it so it is really annoying, just better than staring at google maps on a laptop and I find it really easy to use.
@faint yeah it could be google, that was my first thought, but we will never know. It was kind of cool to use the gamepad for something else, and also the balance board sometimes - although a bit of a gimmick maybe ha!
@TTGlider Yeah I agree. There are some people who still use this app, and some paid for it. Think I won't be jumping on board when NX comes out, will stick to what I have now until it breaks eventually haha!
The 3DS is my favourite ever handheld I think. I have the New 3DS now. I think it should continue, but I would be happier if they released some New 3DS only software. A lot of people will upgrade, and newcomers also will want to take advantage of the hardware. I even think there should be more non-gaming apps too.
Didn't realise there was lots of people who don't like the 3D. If Nintendo's next handheld doesn't have 3D I am not getting it. I always use the 3D cranked all the way up, never gets old.
shame it keeps crashing for me and has no Wii Remote support. Would be nice to save gamepad battery by turning it off in options and using point controls. Oh well
I spoke too soon lol! It never prompts me by asking if I am using microSD or SD, it goes straight to transfer. Has this happened to anybody else at all? Just my luck lol but appreciate any help
@c1pher_c0mplet You could be right, I fell for the same thing and got DSi after lite lol. But did get a few dsiware games to be honest. Shame, but I only fell for it for this time as my wifi switch is on the way out on my 3DS XL. Though it is working okay this week lol
still waiting to set up my New 3ds from upgrade from 3DS. Bit worried about the transfer, but realised that I made the best move by using a microSD card in original 3DS. Worth the pain of transferring to laptop from normal SD, then to micro. Think Nintendo should recommend this method.
@ULTRA-64 I was not expecting to enjoy Chronicles, but I was so wrong. I think it is a great game, like the story especially, and the combat although 'different' to the norm, is kind of addictive. Good luck on your hunt for a HD
@RainbowGazelle I had to use one of those sd card reader adaptors so it kind of made it into a USB stick. It was alright at the start
@ULTRA-64 I never wanted to get a HD too, but was running out of space also ha. Luckily it is self powered what I use. Looking forward to X, still trying to finish Chronicles on Wii.........
@ULTRA-64 I was doing this for a while, and then a 32GB SD card. After downloading more stuff it started doing funny things, and I even lost my save for mario kart - which is not so bad I guess, great game. So I moved everything back to system memory then to hard drive. So its a shame, but my USB sticks and SD cards while working at first, just perhaps for me not ideal if you have a few games on them
Thanks for that! I don't know anyone else who has a 3DS - which is their loss I say! - so its nice to compare notes! I will have to do the transfer for sure I think, the touchscreen camera is okay, but reckon the nub will be better. Perhaps will join you on a quest real soon
@leo13 I have Majoras Mask and playing Monster Hunter 4 right now, on normal 3DS XL. I only thought the load times and framerate would be better? It is hard tearing myself away from my beloved XL lol, especially as I think once I transfer it across, I can't use Monster Hunter on the XL as the save is set to the system I think? I went for New 3DS as thought it might be cool and bit more portable etc.
I only played the Wii game Fatal Frame, so I am kind of new to it. But I wouldn't definitely buy this, as long it isn't a terrible game when it gets reviewed of course.

Re: Wii U Offers "The Best Realisation Of The Second Screen Experience", Says Watchup CEO
