My new 3DS XL was delivered to my house today (it's the Majora's Mask edition). Right now, I'm charging both of my 3DSs before I could begin transferring data. I'm not sure if the new 3DS XL will ask me to make a Nintendo Network ID, despite already having one myself, once you initially turn it on.
It doesn't. My new one didn't ask me for my Nintendo ID.

If anyone knows how to link a new 3DS to an existing Nintendo ID, let me know, because it would save me a lot of money on VC games and Fire Emblem DLC.

If you didn't transfer from your old one to the new one, there's no way short of contacting Nintendo to get your old data back. I think they can actually do it if you give them your NNID though - but don't quote me on that. Nintendo's digital content policies are so archaic and asinine.

I got the MH n3DS XL at launch. It's pretty similar to the old XL in size but it definitely seems more powerful, and the 3D is greatly improved. Transferring wasn't much of a hassle either.

I've been thinking about upgrading but I just can't justify $200 for such a minor upgrade when there aren't even any games other than Xenoblade coming out for it - and I have Xenoblade already and haven't beaten it. I had planned on doing GS's trade in deal and trading in one of my old 3DSes, but since they only had enough for preorders, that didn't happen.

So I'll probably just wait and see if there are any exclusives coming out for it that interest me.

I have an unopened Xerneas/Yveltal addition 3DS that I could trade in, but when I went last week it turns out I could only get the New if I had pre-ordered...which I hadn't. So it's not too likely that i'll invest unless there ends up being games exclusive for them, at least for the time being.

Fair enough there! For myself it was partly just treating myself (I usually save quite often), and partly because I really enjoy MH and liked that design when I first saw it announced for Japan. As with Xeno while I have played (and beaten!) it it was a copy lent by a friend, so I wouldn't mind actually being able to support the franchise and replay it as well at my own leisure. Would be nice knowing what other games come out that would be exclusive to it all the same.

I have a small 3DS and I'd like to have an XL, so getting a N3DS makes sense to me. I also really like the look of the red one and I want to play Xenoblade, so I'm sold on it.

I have a 2DS so I was really excited when they announced the new 3DS because I thought they looked great and I really liked the face plates. Then NOA screwed us and said they were only releasing the XL because they didn't want to confuse the market. Like, really? You called it the "New 3DS" which is the only confusing part about that entire release lmao. New is too common an adjective to use as part of your product name.
Anyway at some point I will likely get a New 3DS but I have Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii so I'd rather beat it on there.
You are not alone, and you are not strange. You are you, and everyone has damage. Be the better person.

I totally agree with this, I thought it was dumb from the start. At least call it 3DS Plus or something like that.

I still have my 3DS which I got on release day in 2011 and it still does its job pretty well. I also hope that it'll keep on working for quite a while, as I'm not really inclined to buy one of the New 3DS ones.

It's kinda funny, though, that I seem to be one of the few people who actually liked the original 3DS more then every later installment, like the 3DSXL or 2DS.

I have the Ocarina of Time 3DS and I loooooooove it. Seriously. But I worry so much about the build quality. You can poke a hole right through the Home, Start, and Select buttons @[email protected] And I bought mine used and whoever had mine before me was rough with it so it's my precious baby now. I actually bought a 2DS because it bugged me so much.

This is terrible! I was able to transfer all of my data from my old 3DS's SD card onto my new 3DS XL's micro SD card, but according to Mii Plaza, it doesn't have all of my saved data for the Mii Plaza games on my SD card, which I could've sworn was. Because of this, all of my saved data for the extra puzzles, since it was able to transfer my streetpass numbers, hats, and completed default puzzle panels. I don't know what to do! I have a back-up file on my computer, but I don't know it can't get transferred again. I can't enjoy my new 3DS XL anymore because of this. I wish I had a time machine to stop myself from using the XL and only use it as a collectable.


Edit: Nevermind, it turns out the micro SD card actually contained nothing even after the transfer, so I've transferred the files of my SD card from the PC onto it, and now all of my data from my old 3DS is intact, including my Mii Plaza data.

I got my n3DS at launch and...fell victim to the unfortunate chance of factory defects. The inside of the Touch Screen has a small slit near the top which generally isn't too noticeable, but it's enough of an issue that I'm probably going to take advantage of the warranty. After all, I got the n3DS partially so that I could do with my 3DSXL that had a dead pixel in its top screen (making 3D less than attractive).

Though my n3DS did give me the drive to get back into Shin Megami Tensei IV, which is always good.

Apart from that, I finally got to playing Danganronpa, which I bought almost a month ago, and I beat it just today. It was fantastic, I loved the hell out of that game. In a lot of ways, it feels like that game was tailor-made for me. I did have some gripes with it, specifically how easy and forgiving it was, but those issues were far from game breaking and regardless it was an all around great time. Loved the characters, loved the musical style, loved the art, loved the direction- it was just a pretty damn great game. I immediately bought 2 upon completion which...probably wasn't the best idea. I'm planning on buying Dragon Ball Xenoverse and Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires, so I don't really have a lot of money to be spending frivolously. Unless I can sell my old 3DS, at least.

Does anyone know when they plan on restocking New 3DSes? It's kind of ridiculous that Nintendo doesn't make enough of an item to keep it in stock after launch. Did they not think that people would wait to use tax refund money to purchase them?

Yeah, same thing happened to me. If it takes a while for them to get more New 3DS systems into the storefront, then they might not see much progress on their statistical note.

It's weird because here they actually have some still in stores ._. Well, they did a couple days ago, at least.

I think Nintendo is just working on their supply chain, ironic as it sounds. Better to be short on inventory than waste space like they did with the Wii U. It's funny that it's taken people until recently to notice the go slow on the West Coast, considering it's been affecting things for months.

The first one? Do you plan to give the second one a shot as well?

Yeah, bought it immediately after beating the first one. I haven't started it yet, though, since I wanted a little rest time between the start of 2 and the end of one.

I was going through old pics, and I found this piece of gold. The images are from an MMO called DC Universe Online (made my Sony Entertainment). I took two screenshots and noticed they went perfectly together, so i made a simple gif.

EDIT: Apparently gifs don't work with attachments. Bummer :(
