Get one. Them screws are easier to strip than a crack junkie going through withdrawal.

The volume levels on the New 3DS with headphones are definitely louder than the OG 3DS. Volume without headphones is about even to the original.

Not at all, I just say that this kind of tech can sometimes fail for obvious reasons. Some of theses causes can be fixed (bad lighting conditions, holding the console too far away), some others not really (face not recognized, broken camera or lens)

If you're OK with going the same motions all over again, go for it. Otherwise I wouldn't bother.
Yes. Personally I think X/Y are far better games. Generation 3 has some problems, and while the remakes do fix some of the things, it still isn't enough to top X/Y for me.
You can't really go wrong though.

anyone else having issues with transferring? I couldnt trade in my 3DS because for some reason I never noticed that it has no serial number!! So I transferred the data to my brother's 3DS which took about an hour for the whole thing.
Transferring from his 3DS to my new 3DS XL I'm around 50% done with part 1/6 after about an hour and a half. Did it take this long for anyone else? I'm not even transferring much. It's a 4GB SD card to 4GB micro SD card. I probably only even have a little over 2GB of memory used up/

I may have phrased the question poorly, I am basically getting a N3DS just to play pokemon again. Hoping to get some opinions on which of the two newest ones people prefer.

Any Hard Pouch Recomendation?

Ahh OK. I skipped gen 3 when they originally came out so Omega is my first taste of that, and I'm enjoying it more than X. That being said, X feels like the fresher game.
I think the freshness meter is the number one thing to consider when getting a pokemon game. I also just realized that I played a good amount of Emerald a while back aswell, so i'm thinking the x/y route is the way to go.

Are there any 3DS card cases similar to the Club N ones that have a clear outer sleeve for artwork?
That'd be nice.
Oh, and before I forget, do any of the "old" 3DS XL cases/pouches fit the "new" XL? I'd like to find a case that can at least accommodate the system and the charger.

No, it's not counting standby/sleep mode as playtime.
Btw, have you called bersgala already? I really want to know their response since Bersgala also distributes Nintendo stuff to Finland and if I ever had any problems it would nice to know if they are willing to help.

I was wondering the same thing. I have a shell on my old 3ds xl that I wouldn't mind using on my new 3DS XL.
This, especially if you have a Majora's Mask New 3DS XL.

And yes, the New 3DS XL will fit.
Shells don't fit, but cases do. I have the Gyakuten Saiban 5 case and it fits perfectly.

Ahh okay, thanks for the reply.
Yep, no problem, one of the first things I did was try to see if my matching AA shell fit and it's too narrow, n3DSXL is slightly wider than 3DSXL
I kept doing that, too. Especially playing when lying down. I'll need to figure out a better way to hold it.

I just ordered some glasses with anti-reflective coating. The super stable 3D had better work when I get them.
What, really? My complaint with the power button is that it's out of the way and too hard to press.

You can download ALTTP on 3DS?

Todd Howard's Secret GAF Account
Paid $21.05 for mines
It lets me sign into amazon.uk with my us account.
Messed up on that one sorry lol, ALBW is what I meant.
Also, I'm loving the opening sound of the N3DS compared to the old clicky one. I don't know if it's just me but the new one gives it a more luxurious feel.
Mine's out for delivery in Leeds, hope they don't take too long to get to York...
Will try. Albeit play-asia seems to be the cheaper choice?
Mine's out for delivery in London - although helpfully no expected delivery time, just "end of today".
Wish it was DPD so I could stalk their van's GPS.
Oh - do yours say anything special on the chronopost site? Mine still says inbound line haul scan Heathrow airport Sunday 8:50am
Mine's via UPS.
Oh, lucky. Did you choose the fast or slow delivery? Be ironic if you chose slow and get it faster.
Slow, which I was kinda regretting as I watched it move not an inch all of yesterday.

Well...I wasn't going to get one as I couldn't justify upgrading to play a few "enhanced" titles. But as a 3D enthusiast I'll admit the tracking works phenomenally. Tried it at a demo kiosk in Best Buy and walked away impressed. Of course they were completely wiped out so I'm going to swing by Target later. Thanks for all the impressions, everyone.
And DAMN it man, sucks I missed out on that GS trade-in promo. Hopefully I can unload the XL on GAF or craigslist for about the same.

Chronopost site hasn't updated since yesterday - the only reason I know it's on its way is from getting a text message from DHL! (I used "fast" delivery as well)
That's what sealed the deal for me, walking into BB and seeing how phenomenal the new and improved 3D is. Didn't know GS stopped that deal though.
Mine is marked out for delivery from Birmingham on the Chronopost site, but only managed to get my UK tracking number as DHL sent me a text. Seems like UK delivery company varies.
Paid for fast delivery. In hindsight a waste of money.
I also live about 100 miles from Birmingham.
email english@amazon.fr with your order reference and complain - they'll refund you. They gave me £14 off which is basically free delivery.
Email english@amazon.fr and get the delivery charge refunded, I got mine in Saturday no problem.

I just came off the phone with Bergsala.
Here in Denmark you need to send your Nintendo ID and the serialnumber on your new console to them in an email to service@bergsala.dk. If you have the serialnumber on your old console, then it'll be easier for them and it may be quicker if you call your support line. If you don't have the serial number on your old system, then they have to send your request to Sweden.
[edit]
Where do I find the serial number on my New Nintendo 3DS?
