Don't go digital. You can re-download things but everything is tied to your device. If you lose or it breaks you have a lot of hassle in front of you. They have no proper account system which has every game you bought just tied to it.

All digital purchases are tied to your hardware, you can redownload them by going through your purchasing history on that device (and only that way).

I think you can backup your files on a PC but i'm not 100 per cent on that.

You can use a big SD card if you want to go digital.

Yup.

I bought Animal Crossing on the eshop. Regretted that ever since.

So stupid.

Cheers, physical it is.

Starting with a few games I recall having had praise:

AC New Leaf
A Link Between Worlds
Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars

Also went and ordered Chrono Trigger DS and Golden Sun DS.

Also this thing doesn't come with a charger, or even a cable? That's cheap Nintendo.

It's not cheap, the battery life is just.that.great.

I just got one with Animal Crossing and Picross 3D 2 myself. Yeah don't go digital unless you can help it. The upside to physical for Nintendo is that most of the good games retain value in case you want to resell

Wonderful.

Also, it's using some Nintendo proprietary USB Type B cable and not a standard one? Nintendo!

Yeah that's what it looks like, browsing older games on Amazon many of them are still fairly pricey for their age. Picross 3D 2 is another game I'm looking to get.

Yep it sucks. You can also just get a third party one though. They are cheaper and work just as well. I had one with a detachable USB cable, so I could also just charge it at any USB port.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

I just bought a 3DS from the b/s/t thread too. I seriously have to buy a charging cable separately? Dammit Nintendo

depends on if the seller is including his cable or not, I guess. older models came with the charger.

 

[Tunesmith]

Yeah I went with a $2.99 3DS/DS/etc. Nintendo handheld compatible USB cable without AC adapter. I got plenty of adapter plugs from various iOS devices and whatnot lying around to use.
Got three separate Amazon orders now in various stages of dispatch and delivery. Cable due Wednesday, first set of games Friday, second Tuesday. \o/ Free shipping so I split stuff up to get them faster.

Good choice.

Giant Bomb #27 | You Get It Out, I'll Spread

 

[The Dear Leader]

I fell down the 3DS rabbit hole too, I bought a New 3DS in the B/S/T thread and a handful of games and accessories, plus about $75 on cover plates, can't complain because of how cool they look.

I want that charging station

 

[Sakwoff]

Um. They've recorded and now released the whole run of Metal Gear Scanlon Rising all at once?

WHAT IS HAPPENING

 

[Meneses]

Holy shit it is real

 

[Meguro]

C O N T E N T
AND ALL OF IT AT ONCE
You spoil me Giantbomb.

 

[PowerTaxi]

WHAT

 

[strafer]

What a terrible game.

 

[Wunder]

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHT

 

[hamchan]

Lol Giant Bomb with the surprise content drop. Well done lads.

 

[Wunder]

someone contact LiK

 

[Zaph]

Sneaky bastards

All episodes are online too

 

[daveo42]

What? I really need to work on making my way through Drew's Metal Gear series. On a related note, I've stopped replaying MGS for the time being because of read errors on my disc copy of the game. Won't load one of the multiple cut scenes with Liquid after you drop Rex and I don't have a spare disc 2.

I've moved on to Parasite Eve, where I've forgotten how instant the shit hits the fan.

 

[Hasemo]

Is this a mistake? Is this on purpose?

 

[jaina]

what is happening ???
and only 6 episodes? what a beast of a player

 

[strafer]

Is this a mistake? Is this on purpose?

Yes, the game and upload were both a big mistake.

 

[mnz]

Just tell me what difficulty he's playing on, please.

 

[Jothel]

YOOOOOO

 

[BearPawB]

Whatttttt

 

[Volotaire]

WATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[DamnBoxes]

 

[Meguro]

Easy with the parry assist on.
Probably why it's only 6 videos long!

 

[Intheflorsh]

Is this a cruel prank

Edit: Nope

[Intheflorsh]

MGR is canon

Prove it's not canon

You can not

 

[IaN_GAF]

Well, that's a nice surprise.

 

[def sim]

yo what ☺️

 

[Xater]

What is happening?

 

[TharpDaddy]

A final hurrah of Dan + Drew content.

 

[hamchan]

Dan can make content from beyond the grave East coast.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Man, I wish I picked easy mode the first time I played.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

Unless GB are going Netflix, releasing all at once is probably a CMS error?

Also MGR is trash. Not quite as bad as 4 though.

 

[Par Score]

It had to be this way.

 

[DigitalRicket]

A sudden smile just creeped on my face when I saw the post on twitter. Didn't think it was gonna happen but man, can't wait to watch this!

 

[NumberThree]

What what WHAT

Video Notes
We won't keep you waiting for the rest of the episodes. Binge away!

Nah, it says right under the first episode: "We won't keep you waiting for the rest of the episodes. Binge away!"
