Dammnnn good work on the OT.
I've got the Majora's Mask N3DSXL.... awaiting dispatch
not expecting it until Saturday at the very earliest now, which is a shame. I got the Majora's Mask LE today with the badge, poster etc so I might just start the game on my OG 3DS and transfer the save over along with everything else.

Really want one (XL), will probably get one the next time I'm abroad (because they're still really expensive in Norway).

My MH4 bundle won't be coming until later this month, so hope you all enjoy your New 3DS XL today/tomorrow!

Probably not going to upgrade until there's an LE console I want. Tempted to just get the black tho.

Great and funny OT; nice work! Can't wait to get my system tomorrow if GameStop honors their trade-in deal here. And one thing I wondered, how does the screen of the New 3DS compare to the old 3DS? Not the size or PPI but rather the colors and brightness, does anybody know?

I will give GAME credit that their new 3DS page sure is nice:

I have both but I don't wanna fuck up, use the wrong one and strip the screws
Getting mine after work tomorrow. I only have one game on my old 3DS XL so I'm hoping the transfer doesn't take too long. I want to pick up another game for the system, thinking between Majoras Mask, Smash Bros, and Braverly Default. I may just go with Smash for now since I'm playing a lot of EQ and not much else, and Smash is something I can just pick up for a few minutes every couple of days and not have to worry about forgetting where I am in the game.

My MH LE shipped to get here tomorrow!

I've used both a #0 and a #00 on my 3DS XL with no issues.
Maybe the screws are different on the NEW model, but I doubt it.
Sounds great. I'm up for collaborating on it and I have both a EU and JP (N)3DS, so that would work out. The linking to YT videos for themes is also a good idea

I only have the originals to compare, but the details in the newer model definitely pop out. I tested Smash on the original vs. the new and it was no contest. Smash runs beautifully on the new system. Also there has been MH4 footage that shows it runs much shadows and textures on the newer model as well.Great and funny OT; nice work!
Also for people that don't know me, I actually don't hate the new XL. The system is nice. I just really like the regular more. Which makes it more painful that NA is probably never going to get it.

If I remember correctly they said people could line up today starting at 6AM for the New 3DSXL/MH4U/MM3D triple midnight launch.
Also my MH4U Bundle finally shipped from GameStop apparently, as I just got a MyUPS notification about it arriving tomorrow.

I still think it's outrageous you need tools to get at the SD card.
Edit: I mean you say wiggles 'too much', how much is too much? This'll be the first time I deal with screws this small.

All my Nintendo handhelds are black, but that red - ̗̀ New ̖́- 3DS XL has me tempted.

Hopefully I can muster the strength to wake up tomorrow after working until 11 tonight and being kind of sick. Planning on getting to Target around 6:30 am ish
Augh, why the heck did my store not let me upgrade shipping.
I don't understand why they didn't want more of my money...

Nothing's changed on Gamestop's website, nor have they sent me any e-mails, but like I said earlier I got a MyUPS notification that I'm getting a delivery tomorrow and the it's from GameStop.I paid for one day shipping (which means release date arrival to them) and haven't ordered anything from them but the MH4U new 3DS bundle, so it has to be that.

Might as well post my JP white n3DS import with Cover Plate No. 12 (Felt material)
The badges come from a JP game called Badge Center. No word if it will be a PAL/US release.

I wish GameStop shipped the Majora's Mask Edition to stores instead of having to get it shipped to my house. Who know when I'm actually going to get it...
I've decided that I will keep my order for my Majora's Mask 3DS but I do have to say the no AC adapter still really bothers me.
It's such a dick move for Nintendo and I still feel it will hurt them in the long run.
either way I am excited to get the new 3ds and hope it is really good.

Black n3ds delivered this morning (I'm in the UK) just done the system transfer from my original 3ds which thankfully didn't take long. No cover plates yet since Nintendo sent them in a separate delivery and with Hermes, so I'll probably get them next week sometime...
Still, super happy with it, the coloured buttons look awesome and the 3D is much better. Now to finally go get my 8th badge in AS

Same as big screws man. Though small screws are indeed easier to strip...
Most precision screwdriver sets are of the right size though. Youll find them in most electrical sections of a hardware store... or a walmart/target tool area
Yeah I thought it was something like that. I'm thinking most are there to try to get one of the LE systems. Didn't even bother going into the store to check amiibos, lol.

I've already told him twice that both types of screwdrivers will work fine and I know from experience. Maybe he has me on ignore.

Crap. I ordered a standard sd card from Amazon. I didn't know it was a micro in the N3DS. Oh well.

the wooden cover plate is 24,99 ?!?
Dammit!
Dammit!
I don't have any pics for you guys, I'm dumb and I forgot to take pictures when a Nintendo rep demoed it to me. But the Red really stood out to me much more so than the Black. You can't go wrong picking either, but my vote goes to the Red nXL.
So whos trading in their old systems at gamestop? Whats your attack plan?
asshole manager won't let me take mine home to do the transfer... so I'll be bringing:
- screwdriver set.
- old 3ds xl with 32gb microsd (already copied files over to new card so transfer is easy)
- bootleg a/c adapter from amazon
wonder if I can get a dollar or something for my old 3ds xl charge dock. won't have a need for that now.

My MM XL should be delivered today. Nice launch thread.

Alright thanks that's nice to hear and the way you describe it reminds me of when I traded my DS in for a DS Lite, on the way home playing Mega Man Starforce I was blown away by the difference in screen quality. I'm fine with my regular 3DS too but if there's improvement I'll welcome it!
And yeah I heard about the differences in games too already, nice that some developers make use of the extra power when they have it TheSlySoul

Yeah, felt and wood is 3000 yen as well.
Really great material though. Like super durable.
I had a chance at the MM 3DS XL but I just couldn't do it. I just don't like the look of it and the novelty of having a LE 3ds will eventually wear off then I'll be stuck with color/design I don't like. Oh well.
I'm going with (boring old) black. My current XL is red so I didn't want red again.
I'm going to pick up MM and MH4U. I've only played a bit of MH in the past and had a hard time getting in to it. I'm hoping a mobile version will be a little more accessible for me from a time stand point.
My wallet is ready.

I am really tempted to buy the PAL version of KI:U because the 3D will not be broken.
Also the new n3DS is 3.5 inches horizontal.
I'm planning on buying Pilotwings now. I skipped it the first time around. I heard the 3D is great in that game.
Same, so I'm off to pick it up
. Should be getting the Skull Kid statue too, awww yiss
