Bear in mind that face plates aren't region-locked.
And are less than 20 euro, so you aren't going to be charged any import charges.


Personally, wouldn't pay any more than 9.99 for a faceplate, but I want the Yoshi one badly.

I don't even have a new 3DS and I was putting the Kirby one into my basket. This site is f'ing dangerous...

That doesn't make sense to me, aren't the cards 4gb in the xls and new 3dses, so they have more storage than the original 3ds (2gb)? And if someone happens to have a larger card, they could just buy a micro sd card of the appropriate size to compensate for the large data transfer? Lamestop strikes again I suppose... :pac:

Mr E

I think he misunderstood the question. The GS rep thinks the transfer will be done in store. Here is what I did when upgrading from 3DS to XL a few years ago:

You pay (IN FULL) for the new console (with the agreement that you will be returning with your cleaned-down old console after the transfer). You take both consoles away and do the transfer (in work, at home, or anywhere you can get good wifi). When you come back, they check the old console to make sure they are happy with it, and give you the balance for the trade.

I'm just totting up in my largely vacant noggin the costs of February in entirely Nintendo related matters.
Its going to be expensive.
I wonder if the bank manager will extend the overdraft.
Maybe hold off on the mortgage until March....
New 3DS
Zelda MM
Super Smash Bros
A face plate or two.
Possibly the new Kirby game for the WiiU as well.

anybody play fantasy life before? is it worth picking up?

Uno my Uno.

I see the new shantae is hitting the EU eShop on Friday. I really enjoyed the last one and have been looking forward to this one since it was announced so will probably get it on day one. Has anyone played it?

I'm playing it at the moment and really enjoying it, I find it's good for dipping into every now and then. It's a very open game so you can choose whether you stick to the main story or focus on mastering one of the 12 jobs.

I started off as a hunter and mostly progressed the story but I've recently becoming obsessed with woodcutting and mining to get materials to make better equipment as a carpenter and blacksmith.

Based on what I've played so far I'd recommend it. It's got the charm of Animal Crossing but has a lot more to do, including combat.

I picked it up myself there recently and I'm looking forward to starting it.
always takes me ages to start a new game, I can't abide the generating your avatar and the training sections - no matter how well they integrate them as to not appear as training.
There really are some great games on the 3ds though and I'm super excited with the talk of a new Fire Emblem coming out this year.

Mr E

DAMN IT.... I just looked up the trailer for Fantasy Life and now I want it. Sh*t.

First review of majoras mask 3D!

From game informer 9.25/10

Purists will decry the changes made to Majora’s Mask no matter how slight they may be, but I am seated firmly in the “change is good” camp. It’s everything you remember, but without the boredom or frustration related to the passage of time. Majora’s Mask was a game ahead of its time in 2000, and revisiting it under this new lens only confirms that sentiment. Whether you’re returning to Termina or visiting it for the first time, Majora’s Mask 3D is the ideal way to experience this classic.”

It's one of the few zelda games I've never played, couldn't get the expansion pak when it came out. I'm dying to get it!

How I'd love to be in that position again of getting to play it for the first time. As much as I will get it on 3DS, I think it's well worth playing it on a bigger screen too, I think the darkness of the game may come across slightly better.

cloud493

Bear in mind the framerate can be quite poor, specially on the VC version of it.

Looking forward to seeing Tingle in 3D, creepy bastard.

So! What's everyone's opinion on Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy Plus? Anyone play the original? Amiibo support anyone?

It's meant to be released on the 10th or the 13th of Feb, but now I hear it's out on the 20th.

Not listed on gamestop or Smyths, just see it on Amazon

Why is it so hard to buy 3ds games second hand in shops!
Any game im after cant be bought new and the likes of cex and that are always out of stock.

Games I'm interested in, incase anyone around dublin has them for sale are

Ocarina of time 3d
Super Mario 64 3d
Star fox 64
Yoshis new Island
Diddy kong racing ds.

You can't even but some of them digitally. I don't want to order online and wait I'm way to impatient for that!

But if you can't buy them at all in shops how are you planning on getting them sooner than ordering them online?

I'm just very spur of the moment like that I'm like a big child:-) if something is on my radar I want it now and I hate the waiting for deliveries.
And that's why I'm asking if there is anywhere good local for games.

Banjo

In fairness of those games are Ds games, and around 10 years old. 2 of the 3ds games are around 3 years old and were part of at least 2 big liquidations of stock (tesco and GameStop) each. And Yoshis Island didn't sell well to my limited knowledge so it can't show up in volume 2nd hand. How impulsive and how rich are you? I'm poor, but I have starfox... ;-)

cloud493

Starfox can be found in HMV.
Ocarina of time is in many a gamestop, even though its quite pricey, and can be ordered online from cex.
I've seen yoshi's island and diddy kong racing in cex the past 2 weeks.

I was in cex in omni today and they had a very poor selection of games.
I checked gamestop website for ocarina of time and it said out of stock I will try them tomorrow.
I haven't been in a hmv since they reopened I must have a look.
Thanks lads.

I'm sure I saw ocarina of time in santry gamestop only a few weeks ago. 39.99 mind.

OOT is pricey, even second hand. In a shop I've never seen it for cheaper than €5 under the new price.

cloud493

Cex has it for 30, but its only in stock in Limerick
First party nintendo, maybe out of print by now I'm not sure, gonna fetch a high price.

You're going to have a really hard time finding that.

Maybe you mean 3DLand?

Take a look on adverts, usually a good few 3ds games on there whenever I check, and usually the same ones (most of the ones you want)

Nah finished 3d land great game it's the old one I'm chasing. I don't think theirs any of the games on my list on adverts close to me anyway.

Uno my Uno.

I see Shantae and the pirates Curse is €17 on the eShop, I had expected it to be around €12. I'm not sure now should I go ahead because it is great by all accounts or if I should wait for a promotion or sale.

Is anyone else speculating on whether there will be a sale?

Mr E

I'll be Christmas at least before it goes on sale.

For what it's worth, it's great. Got it last night and I'm at the first island (out of 6)

It's about a 10 hour game, I hear there are multiple endings (a 'good' ending and a 'bad' ending, depending on what you do in the game at certain points)

There are also extra rewards for speed runs, 100% collectables etc., so it may be worth multiple playthroughs.

Hmm, €17. Is very high in my eyes, thought it was gonna be max €12. If I do get it I'll get it on sale and on the 3ds, I hear the 3d is meant to be great.

What's the story with the release of Moon Chronicles in Europe? US has it ages and got the other episodes this week.

64 on the DS? Says it in stock in Dublin on cex website, and gamestop will have it otherwise.

The Back Page pub in Phibsboro are hosting a Smash Bros. tournament/retro games night tonight, in association with The R.A.G.E.

(Don't have link-posting priviliges yet, so just check out the Facebook pages for The Back Page or The R.A.G.E. for more details...there'll be a Mario Kart 64 competition, a Retron 5 to mess around with, and more stuff.)

Never to been to one of these nights, myself — was gonna bring along my 3DS, in case there's a chance of some multiplayer Luigi's Mansion 2 or something. Unless that's considered poor etiquette for an event like this??

If you have a virtual boy bring that, ideal for nights out it is if you can't get your hands on a nomad.

They are missing a trick not going with eight player mario kart double dash.

Bring it. I've been to a bunch of Mario Kart events and there's always people hanging around in the background with 3DS's playing pokemon/mario kart/smash bros.
