I cannot decide which 3DS model is my favorite. This or a N3DS Black Friday special edition. Which do you all think is better?

the rumi card from McDonalds fits so well!

The circlejerks that this subreddit goes through are disgusting, and something needs to be done about it. The recent Swapnote suspension is just another in a long line of events where anyone that contributes to a discussion with an opinion contrary to the hivemind gets downvoted to oblivion. Look through any of the comments on posts talking about it and you'll see numerous comments trying to discuss why they don't mind Swapnote ending and all of them are negative.

The downvote isn't a "I hate your opinion" button, it is a "This doesn't breed discussion" button. If you don't like what someone is saying; tell them why you don't like it, don't try and hide it from being seen.

IT'S HAPPENING.

In case someone doesn't know, the page Metacritic has a nice database with scores given by the press (Metascore) and given by the users (User score).

After comparing scores given by the users to FE Fates and FE Awakening, I was shocked.

Whereas Awakening had a smashing slightly above 9 in both Meta and User score, Fates had averages of 8.7 for press and a poor 6.1 for Userscore.

Link to latest scores, in which FE Fates can be found.

Link to FE Awakening.

I know you guys are excited about Pokémon X and Y, but please refrain from posting so many threads about Pokémon. Every single thread on the front page is either a post about Pokémon, or a blatant disregard to read the FAQ.

Let's try to keep the Pokémon posts to a minimum and talk about other 3DS related stuff too! Also, threads asking questions specific to in-game Pokémon things will be removed, because this is /r/3DS, not /r/pokemon.

Also, I just want to say that while /r/pokemon is a memefest and you can't post a question there and get it noticed or answered, /r/truepokemon is definitely there to help! Please direct all questions related to Pokémon X and Y to /r/truepokemon!

(TL;DR at the bottom of this post.)

Admittedly, part of the reason I sold my Switch is because I had some unexpected hospital bills come up, and I needed the money, but I also feel like I made a mistake by becoming an early adopter of the Switch. Sure, there are lots of cool games in the pipeline, and likely even more to be revealed at E3, but I pretty much spent $325 (after tax) at launch for a Zelda machine when I could've just played it on the Wii U.

The only other Switch games I was interested in were I Am Setsuna and Blaster Master Zero, and one of those is available on the 3DS. There's also the recently announced Fire Emblem Echoes, the rumored Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga DX, and numerous other games on the 3DS that I missed out on. Sadly, I sold my New 3DS XL a while back.

The Wii U is EOL, but I missed several great games on it also. Luckily I kept it and gave it to my daughter, and even though it's in her room now I can still pick up BotW and play it with her. We also already own MarioKart 8 and all the DLC, so MarioKart 8 Deluxe on the Switch is of no interest to me.

I decided I'll be picking up a refurbished 2DS from Nintendo's Online Store on the cheap ($70 after tax and shipping), popping in a 128 GB SD card, and calling Nintendo to have my Nintendo account migrated over to it so I can redownload all my previous games. Then I'll stockpile the games I missed until the Switch drops in price or releases a Rev. 2 version. I always liked the 2DS anyway because it was more comfortable to hold and didn't have the flimsy, creaky hinge of the 3DS systems.

TL;DR: I regretted buying the Switch and have decided to max out my enjoyment of Nintendo's current offerings instead.

Just wondering, thanks.

And OP definitely did not deliver. I'm would just about guarantee that he did it just for some karma. He had a contest in R/3DS where he asked for the most interesting comment or reason why someone needed the circle pad pro. He said he had bought it for a regular 3ds but he had an XL and couldn't use it. He also said he could return but he would rather do something nice for someone else. Well, I put together a ridiculous story about how I was raised by wolves and now need the circle pad pro so I can cure cancer. He picked me!

That was 35 days ago. A few days later I asked him for the tracking number. Nothing. A while later I asked him about it again. He claimed it came back to him and he transposed my address number and was putting it back in the mail. That was 24 days ago. 12 days ago, I wrote him again asking for the tracking number. He said I'll check on it in the morning. And....I never heard back. I have given up on him and getting it at this point, but if he wants some publicity on R/3DS, it might as well be deserved.

EDIT: Here's an idea I just thought of. If OP wants to send the circle pad pro to me(if it still exists), I will go out and buy a game that uses it. Lets say kid Icarus or monster hunter 3. I will then run a new contest and ship both the cpp and the game to the winner of my contest. I think this is fair and gives someone a chance to win an even better prize. Thoughts?

Edit again: looks like anterabae isn't replying and therefore isn't interested in having a new contest and giveaway. Ill let r/3ds know if he decides to participate.

Flipnote Studio 3d has been cancelled completely :( Nintendo confirmed it last year, delayed it and didn't talk about it at E3, as if they've forgotten about it. :(

Update: Apparently, it was only available for a short period of time. Thanks for your help solving the mystery.

Update 2: I never expected this thread would gather any upvotes, but downvotes? Seriously? Are people not allowed to ask questions?

Is Four Swords not available to purchase from the eShop? I missed out on the free download about a month ago, but was interested in purchasing it. Problem is, I can't find it. Is it no longer available?

I'm sure I'll get downvoted for this, but I wanted to see if anyone else shared my opinion. I haven't beaten the game yet, I'm about 20hrs in, but I keep putting off playing it, because I just don't enjoy it all that much. I'm not saying it's a bad game, but it feels subpar, and there seems to be many better games on the platform.

The 3D is pretty lame, it doesn't really give the game varying depth. It feels like looking into a window, but has no real depth to it beyond that. The graphics are pretty bad, but I won't fault the game for that. The system just isn't capable of producing the graphics that in my opinion this game requires. It probably should've been ported to the Wii U.

The gameplay feels repetitive and uninteresting. I'm not a fan of the battle system, but it is creative, so I'll give it that. The voice acting isn't that good, but it's not terrible either.

Overall, nothing about the game really stands out to me. I'm not even sure if I'm going to finish it. 100hrs is a lot of time, and for a game that I don't love, I'm not sure it's worth it. What are your thoughts?

Here is my case, maybe I go a little over board, but I could toss this in a river and it'll still protect my handhelds.

What cases do you guys use, anyone else extreme like me?

EDIT: I took this across the country (USA) once, it's perfect. Small enough to fit on a road trip, or travel by air, and fits all my handhelds and games. It's the ideal situation for me.

EDIT: No love from the 3DS page I guess. Everyone down votes the op for actually contributing to his thread.

Peace out.....

I got rid of my switch 2 because of the 3ds had me using it all the time so I sold the switch and bought a pc and use the 3ds for portable gaming
