New Nintendo 3DS & New Nintendo 3DS XL Launch Thread

The stylus for the New XL is a bit shorter and thicker, so probably not.
I can recommend the samsung evo microsd cards. using 64 gig version and it's been excellent.
those and the sandisk ultra run very neck and neck on price, both seem to be highly recommended
don't waste money buying anything that is rated as faster than either of those. you won't be able to experience the difference on the New 3DS hardware.

Well when I used that third part gui thing it worked fine and read my card and could play MH4. When I used the official one recommended by nintendo it froze my new 3ds when trying to read it.
EDIT: nvm when I opened the back the micro sd wasn't pushed in all the way.

Yeah I bought a Samsung Evo. I've had no problems with it and it was a good price.

Thanks
Wait, how do you map stuff to other buttons?
It's in the Circle Pad Pro settings. It treats the N3DS as a 3DS with a CPP attached, and will let you map ZL and ZR to a number of different things, including dpad left/right and dpad up/down.
Whoa this will be useful. Thank you so much.
How can I set it up so it properly works with the 3DS?
Thanks I've never seen that one - I'll definitely consider it as well. Looks like you can pre-order it from Amazon for $17. The blue-green color is a little odd, but I like the little triforce zippers (and you can pretend you have all three with the one on the design).
Edit: Picture on Hori's site looks like it has a more pleasant color to it. I'm thinking the Amazon photo is just bad photography.

With Nintendo shipping more MM 3DS systems in March (in Europe at least), looks like the Monster Hunter LE is the one more rare actually.
Haven't heard anything about a new shipment of those.

Looks like this same case was posted in the pickup thread, maybe this will help you decide if you like the colours: picsThanks I've never seen that one - I'll definitely consider it as well.

I know this isn't the thread that I saw it on but I want to thank whomever put that picture of how to use the c stick. I had no issue with horizontal movement but I felt like the vertical movement was poor. Now that I understand how it works, it's not so bad. I still wish it was a slide pad though.

So I just played some Super Street Fighter 4 on my N3DS XL. IIRC the game is supposed to be 60 fps in 2D and 30 fps in 3D. My eyes may be deceiving me, but I think it was 60 in both. That being said, I'm pretty tired and the 3D effect may just be throwing me off.
Can someone confirm or deny this?

Eh, i'll try it later on my n3dsxl.
Just tried. It's 30fps in 3D. I can understand the confusion. But play in 3D first, then switch to 2D 60fps and switch back to 3D 30fps and you'll see the difference in framerate more easily.

Really am glad that I went with the standard sized model. I really wanted the cover plates and SNES buttons, but thought it might feel like a downgrade coming from the 3DS XL. Turns out to be the complete opposite though, I'm loving how much sharper games look on the smaller screen, and it's far more comfortable to hold.

How do I wipe my N3DS XL for good if I want to sell it? I read that formatting it still leaves your eshop info behind.

Can I have a talk with the dude who decided that the new stylus should not only be tiny (nonXL here) but also have these sharp edges on the end where you grab it? So uncomfortable.
Other than the puny stylus (and it's unfortunate placement on the bottom, though that's the same on the newXL) so far I don't regret going from big to small(er) either. As you said the sharpness is a plus, so is the lower weight imo. Unfortunately the improved 3D isn't 100% reliable for me, sometimes doesn't register small movements and jumps around a bit or takes too long to recalibrate after shortly looking away. Could be the lighting in my room. Or it doesn't like my face. Or I should try recalibrating.

Yep, awful design.

+1 to This is what the 3DS system should have been at launch.
The original 3DS feels like an unfinished product compared to this.
The new 3DS certainly still isn't the zippiest console/device in the world, but all the loading times are now reasonable, everything is reasonably responsive feeling, there's a sensible amount of multitasking... The 3D actually works well.

I like everything about my new XL especially the face tracking 3D....however the stylus placement is terrible and the power button placement is a true blunder.
Asking again.

Ugh, so I can't do more than look at my n3DS for the time being as I'm waiting for the HORI screen protectors to ship from Amazon after they come back in stock. Anybody have any idea when that might be or an alternative place to buy them?
Also, I'm still looking for advice on how to transfer everything from my old 3DS XL to my New 3DS XL. What is the best and most efficient way to do it so that it guarantees I don't lose anything? Got a complete Pokedex on Pokemon X and Omega Ruby that I don't want to lose.

Any small indie games worth downloading? Thinking of Gunman Clive.
Gunman Clive was actually made by a neogaffer, and it's a lot of fun, I recommend it.

Thank you! I'm sure I could have found this browsing the topic or maybe even in the OP, but you never know with these things so the fact it's still being recommended over other methods reassures me.
Seriously? The screens won't suddenly shatter because they don't have a thin bit of plastic covering them, you know?
Yeah. Just reformat it to FAT32 before using it with your 3DS.
Yup, you just need to format the card to FAT32.

very easy. FAT32... transfer all folders off the original onto it. Good to go.
It's amazing to have your memory over 464k blocks.

You're right, but I don't care. After what I went through to get this thing, I'm not taking any chances and taking every precaution I can. I'm normally not a screen protector guy, but like I said I went through a lot to finally be able to get this MM n3DS XL, so waiting a little longer and putting on an "unnecessary" accessory is fine with me.

Should be fine. As far as I know the data will always work on whatever memory card you copy the data to as long as you stick it in the correct 3DS.
Thanks man, and after you gave them the info did they restore your purchases and how long did it take if you don't mind me asking.

I formatted my 128GB MicroSD with AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro Edition 5.6.
I used the one Nintendo recommends here http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/220/~/how-to-format-an-sd-card-or-microsd-card
Tried out Kid Icarus. I'm loving the game and I'm fine with the controls, but my left hand isn't. I'm getting through the levels, but by the time I get to the boss, my hand is so cramped I can't even fight properly. I'm trying to use my right pinky as support now. It's a shame, because I'm loving everything else about the game. Looks damn good too
