Re: Video: Here's How Long Mugen Power's New Nintendo 3DS Extended Batteries Last

This is great. One thing I've done is use my New 3DS less than my original launch day 3DS because of the battery. On my original 3DS, I had an extended battery that was fantastic for extended sessions. I had forgotten how quickly the battery runs out from a good session, and these extended batteries make all the difference. Personally I find even though it adds bulk, in improves the overall ergonomics of the device as well.

I am super hyped about this! I have been using my launch day 3DS still, and this finally appears to be a worthy upgrade, and not just a design refresh. Very happy that they've solved the 3D effect, added buttons, added a second controller, moved to microSD, and improved performance overall. Can't wait!

Most of these are really clutching at straws to intentionally bring the positive attention down a peg or two, and obviously for click bait. It's a wonder how you'll read these weird reviews on an internet blog where clicks count but seldom from a respectable magazine like Edge. However I do agree to the criticism surrounding the Battle mode. Nintendo made an error of judgement changing the formula as it depends on tighter multi-tier arena type environments like the classic block fort to work. I hope they can fix this with DLC.

@Blizzia You are being as dramatic as the characters in the game! While there are some weird errors here and there, personally I do not find that it detracts from the charm and character that the game exudes.

I'm on Case 4 already, and I've not counted more than 10 glaring errors yet, which is minor compared to how the HD remake on IOS was.

Fantastic review, which is only lacking in any mention over the overhauled online features. The game is looking very promising and I can't wait to get it downloaded next week!

Mighty Switch Force 2 seems to be priced very well.

A bit off topic and just as a point of interest, went into my Mii Plaza on my 3DS today, and my Exchange Booth is offering the first complete Mii Costume change I've seen so far (NOT JUST THE HAT). It is for Link's costume, which I got, and other than having the hat, the tunic is just green, has a tiny 'V' neck, and a brown belt buckle.

I managed to buy the combo pack, but it messed up and nothing downloaded! When you go in to try a game though, it says that I have tried to download it, but it's not on the SD, so I can download it for free. When I try, I still get the 005-4040 error...very annoying!

Edit - All working now! Had to restart my 3DS, and everything then downloaded fine.

More Zelda and Mario please! I am still wishing on a new Starfox and F-ZERO, which would work fantastically with the Wii U tablet controller...so many possibilities!

I think an achievement/trophy system could work, however I think Stars and Coins might reference other things in the Nintendoverse commerce. Maybe they can use Shine Sprites or something?
