Oh its not the c stick, of which I dont really like, could do with that being a bit more loose than hard.
Its the left thumb stick.
I dont have sweaty hands at all but theres little to no grip on the thing at all.
I dont want to ruin the look of the device with some stick um but I might have to if I cant get used to it.

PAL system is estimated to come 3/2. Was mad until I realize that the date is not that far from 2/26. Forgot February was a short month...

There are some silicon grips you can buy to put on the circle pad.

Just received my New 3DS from nintendo.co.uk, but its missing the extra power adapter your supposed to get with it.
I ordered this one;

I've contacted them, so we'll see what happens. I thought maybe it was coming separately, but the order says 1 of 1 packages delivered and 0 pending.

I've looked for some, but there doesnt seem to be that much out there.
Think I'll order the ones I've found on Amazon.

Is the Atlus sale still on?

The OP should add that the screens quality is improved with much better clarity and color. IMO it is worth the upgrade alone.

Until the 16th.

I preordered the black one as well with expedited shipping. Still in the preparing stage.
Okay boys and girls. Those of you with the non-XL version will be realizing that your new console won't fit in your OG 3DS case or pouch. Which is a ball-ache. However, I just got my new pouch through the post this morning, and it's rather lovely, so let me go ahead and recommend it:

That's the red version, but it's available in loads of colours. Officially licensed, very nicely padded, looks and feels great. Can't knock it.

link is broken?
problem is this manager is a tempt and doesn't give a fuck. The old manager was pretty cool about stuff.
they aren't even having a midnight launch.
Ah, glad it's a good pouch since I also have one on the way. Went for black myself since it'll be neutral with all faceplates and won't show dirt easily. Soon my n3DS can enter the wider world!

Can you buy something from the estore and (re-)download it later? Thanks!

Of course.
If you are buying something on your current 3DS and you play to redownload on your N3DS you still need to transfer licenses over.

Honestly:
You can get the "old version" of the same game for less than half of what the + version would cost you....and the only thing you'd be missing would be Amiibo-support and the c-Stick.
I'd get the cheap old version of the game and use the 20+ $ /€ to buy something from the eShop. Thats far better bang for your buck.

Cool, not sure which memory card to get yet, but dont want to miss that atlus sale either.
This is pretty much how Gamestops are going to handle everything if they follow their own guidelines.
I'm getting this clear cover - http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=GAME-0012970
Solves the issue of glossy outer surface of the 3DSXL, and I can put artwork in between.

Just a little question for any of you 3DS owners that have had their machines for a while now.
I own an Ambassador version of the N3DS and today I noticed that I have a small scratch on the top screen. It's located at a point when the raised frame of the bottom screen could be in contact with the top screen. This 3DS has literally had about 3h's of total play time since I got it as I've been treating it with kid gloves.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Is this just a continuation of the screen scratching that plagued the original 3DS. To say I'm a little peeved is an understatement.

would this card work fine with n3ds?
I think it depends on what store you are planning to go to. Gamestop probably won't have any, but a place like Best Buy or Target or TRU probably will. Unless you are looking to get one of the LE systems, those will definitely be gone everywhere by tomorrow morning.
would this card work fine with n3ds?
Absolutely.

First i'm hearing of this. Is it a significant improvement?
Had my New 3DS for a few weeks now (ambassador edition) and you know what, I think, it's my favourite Nintendo handheld to date.
So I had an original 3DS (still have it, I managed to get the system two days early than EU launch) which I replaced with an XL due to the hand cramps it gave me. I had some reservations about going back to the smaller unit but, I have had no issues with hand cramps what so ever. In fact, I'd go on to say that this is the perfect size for my hands (just average hands I guess) and I find the system a joy to play.
The new 3D is actually pretty effective, I am not a big 3D fan, I don't often use it but when I have I have been impressed with the stability of it. The graphics look much nicer on this smaller screen than the larger XL.
Furthermore, I have played the 3DS a lot more since getting the system despite having no new games to play! I have played a lot more Animal Crossing and Pokemon X, just because of this system. The speed of the system is noticeably quicker when doing anything on MiiVerse or the eShop. The system feels well built and the faceplates fit much better than I thought, I originally thought they may feel a little flimsy, with gapes on the sides because the top plate just clips into place but no, they feel really nice.
Feel free to ask any specific questions.

What I think when I see "Preparing Order" ... http://youtu.be/AW2xyXl2tTI?t=4s
So am I reading this correctly that the new 3DS c-stick is support in Kid Icarus? Does that mean I can play it like "dual analog" and not have to use the touch screen to move the camera?
If so that might push me to get the new 3ds. I was on the fence, but I had stopped playing that game (and i loved it) because of the controls.

No, still touch screen only. Just an option for lefties
Well dammit.
So excited. My don't have a backlog on any other system except this one. I'll be tackling my backlog on the 3DS for months to come.
Sexy Red paint fade. All shiny. The thing that impresses me the most is the 3D. I always play it on full blast and I tried MM3D at best buy on it. It was amazing. No ghosting. The Odolwa's sword popped like 3" out of the screen lol.
Now to call nintendo to transfer my digital purchases since I don't have my old 3DS (but do have its serial number). Wish me luck.

Wait this confuses me, I upgraded my 2ds to my new 32gb micro sd that I plan to use in my new XL. So do I choose yes or no here, it reads to me as both.
My source to me would be the 2ds and I would be transferring to the end? 3ds XL?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I've never played Xeonoblade Chronicles.
Hoping this is a faithful port, with no significant shortcomings outside of the screen size.

For a non-limited edition n3DS? Sure. Walk into a Wal Mart or Target and ask for one.
Do you have the MH one pre-ordered? If not, that may make your decision for you.

Choose no at the screen because you have a MicroSD, not a regular or miniSD (they're different).
Hnnngggg! I am so tempted to get the n3DS, but I already have n3DSXL! And I'm not sure I can deal with the smaller screens. Those faceplates though!
just in case any euro gaffers are considering the orange cover plates.
