That's cool. I'm a lefty, so moving with the c-stick and aiming with touch screen is good.

Sure hope this works out..
Hey guys, the new Zelda faceplate (No. 55) is up for pre-order on JPN Amazon:

Enjoy the bliss that is felt.
It's here guys!!!
I used Tenso to buy my JP N3DS and some amiibos off Amazon. They're a good and reliable service. Shipping is a little expensive but it always is with imports.Enjoy the bliss that is felt.
Also how is Tenso? I might want physical Club Nintendo goods but they need a Japan address.
Less clicky, probably closest to DS Lite, buttons feel great (except ZR and ZL), screen has bumpers so it doesn't smudge when closed.I have some questions regarding the non-XL New 3DS, while I'm not getting a Japanese unit this should be the most suitable thread.
The screens don't scratch/smudge themselves this time, right? Can't believe Nintendo let the old 3DS XL do that again.
And how are the ABXY buttons, Start/Select buttons, shoulder buttons and d-pad? Clicky or not? What would be the closest equivalent of the older DS models?
They still smudge. It's not as noticeable as before, but it still happens.The screens don't scratch/smudge themselves this time, right? Can't believe Nintendo let the old 3DS XL do that again.
I'll let you know in a few weeks when my reward (hopefully) ships.Also how is Tenso? I might want physical Club Nintendo goods but they need a Japan address.
I've seen conflicting reports regarding both the clickiness and the screen smudging so I guess I have to try if for myself now. I'm getting the non-XL New 3DS either way.Less clicky, probably closest to DS Lite, buttons feel great (except ZR and ZL), screen has bumpers so it doesn't smudge when closed.
I really like mine.
I really like the Groudon/Kyogre transparent plates but I don't use them anymore because of their glossy feel.
Thanks, added to the spreadsheet
To pre-order or not to pre-order... I'll be in japan when it releases, think I'll take my chances and see if I can get one on release day in stores.
Yeah. I got it with my N3DS from Amazon JP and it barely cost me anything, and I do love how they look, but I just can't see myself using them (or any glossy faceplate) much because matte feels so much better.Yup, that was to keep the good stuff for the LEs. Glad posters warned about that so I didn't waste my money on the plates.
For those looking for a case for the N3DS my old case for my 3DS fits perfectly. There was a little room before, but now it is snug. I bought this pack/kit specifically for the case since it has a flap that holds games and has a compartment on top that can hold a bigger stylus and usb cable. It is cheap, but feels sturdy/stiff. I'm sure people have been looking for a case, but maybe don't want to spend on shipping from Japan.

It may not matter, since the Amazon Japan prices for the first game aren't that good, but usually you can get it for veeeery cheap here. Seems like it was semi-successful enough to get a sequel, but I predict the prices on this one will fall very soon, so you are better off waiting. On a side note, the first game wasn't really good to be honest.Anyone tried the lost heroes games? Just downloaded the demo to the 2nd game enjoying it so far, it seems to feel like one of those atlus dungeon crawler games. Loving the fact gundam/kamen rider & ultraman are all in together as characters to fight with the special attacks are fantastic.
Can't make much sense of the story as i know nothing about the gundam world or who anyone is, only a bit better on recognising ultraman & kamen rider characters.
Definately will be picking up the full game at some point.
Isn't Hori based in Japan? They make really good accessories.I think I'm going on a accessory shopping spree...
can you recommend me any screen protectors, a good micro sd card (32gb+) and a pouch for a small n3ds?
(I'm in Japan if that's important)

I am sorry to ask in this thread but my chances here are better.
If anyone is importing a japanese item any time soon, can I pay you to also order a New Nintendo 3ds black craddle to go with your package and then ship to me here in Texas?
I ask because I am seeing the shipping charges come out to higher than the item itself when I look at import sites. Shipping is cheaper when items are consolidated it appears.
I can pay for shipping, item plus a little extra for your help. I have paypal and good feedback on b/s/t thread.
Not sure if anyone is looking for one, but I have a preorder for the Majora's Mask N3DS LL on amazon.
It would cost 24,840 yen +tenso shipping+shipping from me (US). I am set with my current regular N3DS so if I can't find anyone that wants this I'll likely just cancel it.
If you don't get a reply within 6 hours, I'd cancel. Don't forget that Japan is about 14 hours in the future depending on where you are in the US, and they probably ship on Thursday.Bumping with this again. If there isn't anyone interested I am going to cancel this in a day or two. Don't want to risk it being shipped by Amazon and Tenso will not return it.

You should post this over in the B/S/T thread, assuming you haven't already. You might get a few more bites on it over there.
My question isn't really Japan related, but I figured this might be the best place to ask since the New 3DS has been out in Japan for the longest so people in here will have some experience:
I'm European, and leaning towards getting a regular (non-XL) New 3DS. But I can't quite decide on a colour. Is either one preferable to the other for some reason? Does either one look crappy with certain faceplates (I'll probably use these), or does one look clearly better than the other together with certain faceplates? That would be the kind of thing that might influence my choice of colour.
I have to agree with you there in that the cover plate website is a nice judge.Try playing around with the Nintendo faceplate site. In general the white one looks better with light and bright colored plates and the black looks better with dark and bold colors.
I got Youkai Watch 2 Shin-uchi in the mail today. Will play when I get home.
For now I'm just looking at the case and marveling at the shiny. The shiny. SHINYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. 10/10 game because SHINY.
Yeah, Yokai Watch (and especially Jibanyan and his "family") are literally everywhere you look here. It's unbelievable, and there's pretty much no analogue for it that anyone growing up in America or Europe could understand. Imagine the most popular franchise you can think of, then multiply the popularity by like three, and the ubiquity by 10.
It's about the same I would say. Like TheSporkWithin already said, it's literally everywhere here just like Pokemon at it's peak imho - straight in your face at all times.Is it really that much bigger than Pokemon at it's peak? I was under the assumption it was comparable but didn't think it eclipsed it by that much.
Not sure if anyone is looking for one, but I have a preorder for the Majora's Mask N3DS LL on amazon.

Before I moved away from Germany, I used www.japan-codes.com to buy the codes I wanted. Back then the EUR-JPY rate was pretty good too, so that's that. I may set up a prepaid card site someday lol.Thanks for the tip. I actually contacted FromJapan yesterday and they said they would do it, but that they have to print the code and ship it physically rather than just forward the seller's message with the code by email. Not sure why it has to be done that way, seems really roundabout, but I guess it has to do with making sure they can impose their second charge for shipping. If I can't find another option, though, I might just go ahead and do that.
