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.

Damn that's a sad one wonder how long will the 3ds store front on eshop stay active.

Reminds me I need to get a 2ds XL if I can in the near future.

Same. I have it on watchlists on a few price tracker sites, but no deals in sight. I had two 3DS's. My gold Zelda model went missing in my parents house.

And my replacement needs repairing.

I am only lacking a N3DS XL in my collection now, so I must watch CEX and Adverts for a cheap one!
The 2DS:XL is a nice device indeed.

Never played the 3DS as much as I'd like to but I'll always keep one around for the insane amount of RPGs for DS/3DS. The dual screen set up means you might as well always play on the real thing.

Wow, the DS line as a series of consoles was insanely successful.
I wonder if they will ever bring it back, I imagine not.
The Switch brand is so strong now, I can imagine most things for the next six to ten years will be a Switch variant of some kind.

End of an era. Looks like production of the 3DS has fully stopped. It had a great run!

Try tethering to a 4g mobile phone should use very little data and should work but may be very slow any and all game download should be done with n sleep mode too

Managed to get the system update and a few demo's downloaded that way alright. DNS thing seems to have sorted it though so hopefully it will stay connected at that

Think I finally got this sorted. Changed DNS from automatic to manual and entered 8.8.8.8 as DNS and going fine since. Really enjoying the console so far, it's looking like money well spent.

Never had an issue with the 3DS/2DS we had/have. It's usually slow ... but works.
Is this an issue with internet connectivity or connecting to Nintendo ?
Does the web browser connect ok ? Think there is a web browser on there.

Seems to be an issue with getting the 2DS to hold a stable connection to my wifi. When I do the connectivity test it takes a couple of minutes to connect but will get there eventually. But when I try download a system update or access the eshop I can see the connection drop the odd time on the top left of the screen and it won't update system or load Eshop.

@UberPrinny_Baal - Haven't tried with making my connection open. I did manage to successfully update the system and access the Eshop by using my phone as a hotspot this morning. It was slow and not ideal but got the job done.

Did a bit more digging and it seems that the system only recognizes 802.11 b/g mode on routers so need to log in to my router and see what mode its set at later and see if that resolves it.

Having a lot of trouble getting 2DS to access the Eshop or even successfully perform a system update. Keep getting error messages, different ones each time. Tried mobile hotspot and no joy either. No hassle with Switch or other consoles. Been at it for an hour now and it's just not happening. Any tips on troubleshooting lads or is this a common thing with these?

It will connect to my wireless but takes forever. Drops signal then during updates which I'm guessing is why the update is never successful

Have you tried with an open connection? I remember Nintendo handhelds were a bit iffy about only using one particular kind of wireless encryption and couldn't connect at all to more secure networks.

It's not a great long term solution, but if you just need some stuff in the short term, temporarily turn off all your internet security!

I think 3DS family is region locked.

Apologies if resurrecting old thread. I'm getting my 2DS XL this evening. I currently have 3 accounts on my Switch (Irish and two other regions), can I just link all 3 to my 2DS XL or does it work the same way re buying from various eshop regions?

Star fox just went selects too it has been on selects here for years, Majoras Mask probably won't ever go selects here in Europe, if it does it'll be a while away yet.

Pity, wanted to play it.

Yeah been keeping an eye out for it myself, seems to be a US only thing

Are they in stores cause I can't seem to find them online

I think it's only a Nintendo Select title in the US, and not currently available in Europe as a Selects title.

Any bargain bundles/discounts on a 2DS XL? Want to get Ocarina of Time a go

No dub, which is disappointing.

Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth is coming west on the 4th of June.

I've been looking for a 3DS game to play over Christmas and it passed me by that Luigi's Mansion has come out in the last few months. I played Luigi's Mansion 2 a few years ago and enjoyed it and have never tried the original on Gamecube, so this remake will do nicely.

White and Lavender, seem to have a problem though where it doesn't recognise the cart from cold boot. It has to be reinserted while its still on.

Picked up a 2DS XL, feels a lot lighter than my old 3DS XL.

It's easily the best horse-racing/solitaire crossover game out at the moment. Highly addictive.

Got about 8-10 good hours out of this, thanks for the recommendation. Getting a bit repetitive now though but it was fun while it lasted.

Couldn't finish EOIV despite enjoying it but I'm currently plugging away at Persona Q which has combat changes which make it quite a bit easier. So far anyways, I'm only on the second dungeon.
