I have a 3DS/DS - general discussion.

Banjo

What's a good price?
You can get Happy Home Designer + NFC reader for €30 from Smyths, then sell the game to CEX for €12...? €18 for the reader and some cards!

That reads the amiibos right?

Going to tip my toe back into the amiibo quagmire for the FE amiibo.

Yeah was looking on there at the FE ones. If I go to my nearest cex, I can probably get back the ones I traded in.
I'm almost doing a ciderman on it.

Grab Codename Steam too if you don't have it already cex sell it dirt cheap and the fire Emblem amiibos work with it too.

Anyone know the cheapest place to pick up a new 3DS XL? Cheers

Amazon.fr way cheaper then uk around 150 and 8 delivery. Plus if brexit happens you'll be secured n warranty though doubt it's happening anytime soon.

My son was given a used 3ds by his cousin who hadn't used it for a few years. Is there a way to reset/wipe clean these things without passwords.

Anyone picking up fire emblem echoes in May?

I see there's a big cardboard box edition with a soundtrack, so it's a buy for me. If i can get it that is, looks like a few weeks of refreshing waiting for it to show up.

I'm actually afraid to get card jockey for this very reason tbh

Banjo

Card Jockey isn't something you buy. It's something you are.

Don't be scared. Horse Cards doesn't bite, unless you whip him too hard on the home stretch.

Now take that seat above me and give your horsey a name. There's no going back now.

I called mine Hogan. No idea why. I just felt during that period of my life that i need a pixelated horse called Hogan in my portable horse racing solitaire crossover game. Doc said it's normal.

Hey guys and gals, quick question.

I'm going on holidays in a few weeks, and always bring a 3DS (or handheld) game for plane journeys, sitting by the pool, etc.

Last year, I played Fire Emblem Awakening, and loved it. So figure I'll go with another Fire Emblem game again this year.

Am I right in saying my choices are Fates (which there seems to be two versions of?) and Echoes (which isn't out yet?). Prices seem the same for both on Amazon, so am I ok just grabbing the one that comes out next month? No reason not to go with the newer one, right?

RobbingBandit

If you buy either Birthright or Conquest there is an option to buy the other game and the third part Revelation as dlc, gamestop did have them on offer recently not sure if that is still the case.

The newer one is actually a remake of an older one that im
Too
Drunk to remember the name of. I'd go with fates/birthright. One is easier than the other so go with that if it's a holiday game
Pretty a sure it's fates

Fates is the umbrella name for the older title:
Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright (the easier one)
Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest (the harder one)
Fire Emblem Fates: Revelations (the DLC which transcends both games)

Fire Emblem: Echoes is the new game which is a remake of an old Famicom game. This is slightly different to the traditional FE games but still has the tactical combat.

Lord TSC, if you want another FE game similar to Awakening, go with Fates. The real answer here is buy them all at some stage though!

New 2DS XL announced

MilesMorales1

I kinda like that!

CiDeRmAn

If that translates directly into €150 it'll be a big seller.
I'd love to pick one up.
We'll see what the screens are like.

Banjo

So where's the cost saving on that over an n3DS / XL - far as I knew, using a single screen for the 2 displays was what made the big difference on the 2DS. If this has all the same internals but just no 3D feature, surely that's can't knock *that* much off the asking price.

Good timing though, my eldest is thinking of spending some communion money on a 3DS, might get her to hold off.

Price can be used to demarcate between the premium and basic product, with little regard for the actual cost of production.
I'd say this is the case here.
That said, the Wii Mini obscenity was a terrible construction, felt quite nasty to use, like it was a Chinese knockoff.
If they have the same approach here we'll know quickly enough how they saved a few bob.

To be fair, the design of the N2DS is beautiful.

The original or this new one?

Wonder will it be capable of paying the SNES games from the Nintendo Store?
