3DS Discussion Thread

New games for 3DS... maybe a new Metroid, Kirby, or Zelda. Just saying though, IMO the last thing we need is a new 3DS Mario game.(Mario in general BTW, no specific Mario series) Theres a lot of Mario games already on 3DS, not to mention there's 3 coming soon. Mario on 3DS needs a break for maybe 1-2 years.

Mario Party 3DS would be amazing. Mario Party DS was one of my favorite games ever (too bad I lost it somewhere *cries in a corner*). A new Metroid would be nice too.

Also, I might get a new game this weekend: should I get Mario Kart 7 or Mystery Dungeon? I'm really stuck on both, although I'm leaning towards MK7.

Go for MK7, it's really good, and it has endless replay value. PMD isn't that good, from what I hear.
 
A new Mario Party is probably not worth it. Yes, multiplayer would be good, but Its more of a party game. For the Wii U maybe, just not the 3DS.

Let me just say Luigis Mansion is amazing
 
So I did manage to try out the demo for Luigi's Mansion, and it's good, but not really anything to write home about. I guess if I have some extra money and nothing better to buy, I'll get it, but otherwise I think I'll pass and save my money for better games.

What does it being a party game have anything to do with its suitability for Wii U and 3DS?

People typically don't bring their 3/DS to a party unless it's planned ahead. If it's on the Wii U you can just pull out the extra Wii controllers, can't really do that with handhelds. Not saying I disagree with what you're saying, but I think that's kinda' what chello was implying.

Anyways, I... Haven't played Luigi's Mansion 2 for a week. It's a great game, but all of my attention got sucked up by Terraria PS3 and the latest Minecraft 360 Version update. Needless to say, I've no idea when I can write the entire review. I think I'll probably type out a First Impressions type thing once I beat the second mansion as that should be enough playtime.

That's a good point, actually. I guess it depends on what kind of gamer you are, though, because my friends and I are more hardcore gamers and we always bring our handhelds regardless, but I guess for more casual players they would need to plan ahead.

But keep in mind that "party" game does not necessarily mean that it's a game you can only play at parties, though, you could still play it with people during casual get togethers. Maybe they could make it so the 3DS version can allow you to play minigames with strangers via Streetpass, that could make the multiplayer aspect more attractive.

SotS got what I meant. Even though it is possible to do download play or multiplayer, its alot easier to do it on a Wii U console. I feel that may be the purpose for the Wii and Wii U in the first place.


I did not know there was a demo for Luigis Mansion. I just bought the game by purely watching gameplay videos for it.
 
Getting my pikachu 3ds xl soon. Im excited. Ive been waiting a long time for a pokemon se worth of being purchased to be released.
 
Recently, my 3DS has been acting weirdly. It suddenly stuck in the middle of the game and wouldn't turn off. Then when I reset it, its screen wouldn't light up. This only occured when I played Ocarina of Time, which I downloaded. It hasn't done it in a while but I was wondering why it happened and how can I prevent it. Any ideas?
 
If it only happened once, I wouldn't worry. If it happens again... I have no idea. I haven't had any problems.
 
It didn't happen once. It happened repeatedly three or 4 times in a day. Maybe it was from overuse... I dunno. I really got hooked with Ocarina.
 
I'd contact a Nintendo Support Service and ask if they know about such a thing.
 
I'll make sure to do so if it happens again.
On an irrelevant note, I found myself with another 50 bucks to spend. Lucky me. Any suggestions for a game? What are the Zelda titles available in E-Shop?

In your situation, stay away from e-shop games bro ;)

If you can gather another 10-20 bucks, I have 2 great game selections and you can buy both.

Luigis Mansion 2: Challenging, but a little short. Still an AMAZING game though dude.

Resident Evil Revelations: Longer, amazing graphics, and the game you would stay up playing all night on Halloween.
 
It may be an issue with your SD card. If your computer has an SD card slot, try this:

I had a freezing issue, and one thing that actually solved it was changing the SD card format to FAT32 (it's in FAT16 by default). You don't lose anything if you do it correctly, which involves:

- turning off the 3DS (not just putting it into sleep mode)
- pulling out the SD card and opening it with a PC (any SD reader will do)
- copying EVERYTHING from the card into a separate temporary folder on your hard drive
- formatting the card with the PC, choosing FAT32 as the file system (all options, like block size, on default)
- copying all the data from temporary folder back to the SD card (note: make sure to safely eject the SD card from the computer)
- putting the card back into 3DS
- profit

Do this at your own risk.

Another thing I've heard done to fix freezes is unscrewing the back plate and removing the battery for a few minutes, and then putting it back in. Of course, make sure your 3DS is off first.

If neither of these work, I'm clueless. Definitely contact Nintendo Support.

As for what game to get: Animal Crossing is coming out soon, Monster Hunter is out, Fire Emblem seems awesome, and Kid Icarus is still my favorite 3DS game. Those are my recommendations.
 
Personally, I wouldnt do the SD Card trick, because my 3DS was a gift, and if I messed something up, im screwed. However, if you have nothing to lose or are willing to gamble, go ahead man.
 
... what? The SD card "trick" is not gambling. It's just a normal procedure. There is nothing that can go wrong with it, unless you do some stupid stuff like delete everything from the card instead of copying it first.
 
I can't do the SD card trick 'cos my PC doesn't have a slot. But in any case, it hasn't happened in quite some time. Hopefully it won't reappear.
And thanks for your suggestions, guys.
