I have a 3DS/DS - general discussion.

We don't seem to have a proper one of these so, if nobody minds?

Anyway, I've been playing NES remix 3DS all weekend. 30 euro delivered off eBay , feels worth it. Not the same value as the Wii U version, but very good all the same.

The demo on the Eshop is more or less the first 3/4 hours of the actual game, so just check it out for yourself

Ace Attorney

Pretty much what banjo said, been playing since launch and i like it a lot, its kind of aimed at a younger monster hunter audience but that didnt put me off, i think its a good game. You get eggs hatch monsters and fight bigger monsters,with a paper siccor rock type system and later on elemental special moves for u and your monster, Theres a demo on the eshop if you are unsure what to think about it try the demo.

Banjo

Monster Hunter Stories is kind of like a Pokemon game but set in the Monster Hunter world. Instead of hunting gigantic beasts for their skin and organs, you seek out and hatch eggs and nurture baby gigantic beasts, then take them on dungeoneering adventures. I think.

I'm tempted to ditch the SNES edition 3ds XL pre order in favour of this

Was told Metroid Legacy Edition was 90 in gamestop Germany. I would love to get it but not at that price point

So it's the DSi-enhanced games only? Good to know, I might reignite my passion for Masuda Method breeding on Diamond if I can get a copy...

I saw this and thought to myself "Wow, why would it be hard to get a copy of Pokemon Diamond, at a certain point I was swimming in Gen 4 carts. I'll look it up on Amazon."

FOURTY EIGHT POUNDS STERLING? Holy what.

Just because this topic made me curious I popped my Japanese DS copy of Jump Ultimate Stars into my N3DS and it works fine.

Pokemon BW is the game I'm basing that off, as my Japanese cart plays fine in all my DSes but I confess, none of them are DSi. So did it have some sort DSi enhanced features?

It did have some DSi enhanced features. So it is region free in a DS but region locked in a DSi or 2/3DS.

From Bulbapedia

DSi-enhanced game cartridges are DS games that have additional features when played on the Nintendo DSi or 3DS. Black, White, Black 2, and White 2 can connect to WPA and WPA2 protected wireless networks and utilize the camera when using the Xtransceiver when played on a DSi or 3DS. However, they are also region-locked on these systems.

That's not true. DS games are region free on the 2/3DS. DSi games are region locked (I think Pokemon BW and BW2 are region locked) as they have always been region locked.

Think he meant Monster Hunter generations.

Note, the region lock on the 2/3DS applies to DS games as well as 3DS games, even though the DS itself was not region locked!

@Robbing Bandit: What's 'Generations'?

WARNING TO ALL 2DS/3DS FAMILY USERS: Apologise for all-caps, but this CANNOT be stressed enough; they are REGION-LOCKED! I have seen at least one person have to return an NTSC 3DS game, with much hassle, because they overlooked that point....

Now thats a call back post

Hey hey hey we discussed this the SNES mini statement release is to be withheld until after I've procured one.

...and furthermore, my client would like to remind all your viewers that the lack of braille-based warnings of prosecution of shoplifters suggests that far from being a SNES-mini-thieving bastard, he is in fact the victim here, and Smyths should consider the contents of his swag bag a mere down payment of the damages owed for the emotional trauma this trial by media has caused. But if you'd like to know how much trauma, you'll have to buy the book, available from Easons this Christmas!

Is it difficult to downgrade 3ds xl firmware, bloody action replay won't work since I accidentally upgraded an old console, don't have the damned usb cable to update the action replay neither, am getting back into old school pokemon games and just wanna make them easier to play.

Soul Bubbles
Aliens

Yep

DS only plays DS games, 2DS and 3DS can play DS and 3DS games.

So Luigi's Mansion is sound on 2DS

Generations got sold off by Smyths for €10 a few months after it came out.
