NE146 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I'm pretty sure (ok, I'm hoping) that the Majoras Mask edition will be more available as time goes on.. Heck they better be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I expect one more round of orders for the Majora's Mask limited edition system and that'll be it. I'm not overly surprised by the highly limited nature of the console. It wouldn't be the first time Nintendo's done that in recent years. What I'm more surprised about is that the Monster Hunter 4 system also appears to be very limited as well. I would have expected that to be a regular stock model for a while.

omegadot Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 About the cable, odd, yes. Does that make me happy were I to get it? YUP. I have a zillion of the cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I ordered the New 3DS XL Majora,s Mask edition. I'm a lil dissapoint it come on pre-installed instead of a physical cart, especially since the system come with a 4go MicroSD... Well I'll still like to play this game and enjoy my 3DS games. My early 3DS it a bit tired and the tiny buttons are annoying... Tho not as bad as the original DS ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Havoc 2049 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I have a launch 3DS, so I think it's time for an upgrade. I'm going to get the Monster Hunter 4 limited edition. The new Zelda limited edition is already sold out. I haven't tried out the demo yet of Monster Hunter 4, but I read there are frame rate issues in multiplayer on a regular 3DS, but they aren't as bad with the extra power of the New 3DS. The New 3DS version of Xenobalde looks cool as well and that can only be played on the New 3DS. I have a launch 3DS, so I think it's time for an upgrade.

When I posted this, the Monster Hunter 4 edition was still available, but when I got to Gamestop after work, it was already sold out. There are thousands of Zelda and Monster Hunter limited editions on eBay though. The scalpers and Nintendo products are getting out of hand. It is almost like Nintendo is launching the limited editions of their products on eBay these days. I guess I'll get a red one, unless there is another run of the limited editions.

CatPix Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Does the Majora's Mask edition come with the game in Europe? It doesn't in North America. Yes, tho it come "pre installed"; that is, the bundle doesn't include a physical cart. I guess I should be happy it come with the game Well if it did'tn I wouldn't have bought the New 3DS XL, only Majora's Mask.

omegadot Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 In the case of portables the convenience of downloads is just really hard to pass up. I feel like getting something else physical and cool would be nice, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I've moved SD cards easily enough by just copying so keeping a backup should be simple. Any login requirements, though. Sigh. Modern gaming...

Reaperman Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Well, I'm into 3ds 3 games and a USB charger worth now.

cimerians Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 This guy did a review on it: http://www.gamesradar.com/new-3ds-review/ It's a click fest with some ads so here's a summary if you dont want to click the above link: - The new XL weighs slightly less than the original XL. - Battery life is the same as the older model. - The new analog stick is a nub. Like those old laptops from the 90's. (WTF) - The new shoulder buttons aren't much use yet and are positioned awful. They are next to the existing shoulder buttons so the only way to press them is by holding the 3DS flat in both palms. - It's faster...sort of. - The screen is warmer (more orange) than the older models (which had more of a blue tone). - The new XL has slightly richer colors because of the warmer look. - Resolution is still low-res compared to an iPhone or Vita. The smaller 3DS has less pixelation and looks better. - Stable 3D is great. No more moving around the screen to see 3D. - Memory card slot is now MICRO-SD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaperman Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Given how many youtube unboxing vids there has been of the 'new' 3ds XL, I feel like I'm the only one who has to wait for the 13th--why can't it be next friday yet? I'm pretty jazzed--bought 10 games, large stylus, headset, a couple chargers. I'm ready to go. I can't wait to catch up on the old stuff too, like the 3d camera, play coins, and streetpassing. Especially the streetpassing. How does that work? Do I have to be *in* the game to streetpass it, or does 'having played the game' count enough? Also what kinds of ranges are we talking? I get the thing the friday before mardi gras, so there should be lots of walking and hopefully streetpassing to do. I can't be the only one who brings game systems to parades.

cimerians Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 A screwdriver indeed How to transfer your data: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-02-10-nintendo-details-its-outlandish-process-of-transferring-data-to-the-new-3ds I love the comment: "Microsoft's video: 1.

goldenegg Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 No. A screwdriver isn't required. All the 'news' sites are only focusing on just one of the transfer methods. The system still supports transfer over wifi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeeperofLindblum Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I went ahead and bought a New 3DS after stating I wouldn't get one... I really enjoy it as an improved system, but I wouldn't have been disappointed had I not gotten it. ANYWAYS! The better hardware is nice since all my icons load up almost instantly rather than the brief loading. (I've got like 30+ downloaded titles... Mostly virtual console.)If anything was worth the improvement, the 3D aspect was. No longer do you freeze your head in one location and hope to not randomly fall out of it. T-TGoing to be awful fun for people at retail to explain the difference when the games that ONLY work for New 3DS come out... Customer "So this is a new 3DS?"Me "No, it's THE New 3DS."

NE146 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm annoyed because I wanted a Majoras Mask 3DS but couldn't get one (it's crazy out there) I ended up buying a red New 3DS.. but am just holding onto it for now until I know for sure that a MM one is a lost cause. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLic0ne t0aD Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I too wanted the new Zelda MM 3DS XL and was going to pre-order it before/on the 13th @ Best Buy, since I have a $300 gift card for there. However, every time i went to checkout, it game me an error message saying "access denied" on both mobile and on my PC.. couldn't even log in. I kinda gave up on the MM bundle but I'd at least like a Black one.. even those are sold out. Looks like i'll have to be patient and let the stock replenish but at least that gives me time to scoop up some games in the meantime. I've never had a 3DS before.. looking forward to it.

NE146 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) If you're looking for the red & black new 3DS;s.. nearly all Targets across the US got more stock of them yesterday. Walmarts (where I bought my red one) tend to have them too, except when I bought mine I had to find someone who "knew" that they were hidden behind the counter. Go figure. But whatever.. red & blacks will soon be all over the place. I'm still holding out hope that there are more MM to come in the months ahead, and am playing the game on my standard XL for now.
