  1. Holy dole why does SMTIV take up so much of my SD card ;__;

    1. @flamingpandaomg Who and/or what ?

      Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 19:59:54 UTC from web
      1. @critialcloudkicker Shin Megami Tensei IV for the 3DS. I just had to swap to a 4GB SD card and it's taking up like half of that already.

        Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:00:56 UTC from web
        1. @flamingpandaomg You are talking about an R4 card, yes ?

          Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:01:50 UTC from web
          1. @critialcloudkicker No. A normal SDHC card.

            Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:02:31 UTC from web
            1. @flamingpandaomg Ehmm... So it is a game you have to download for you do not have the cardridge ?

              Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:03:25 UTC from web
              1. @critialcloudkicker I bought the digital copy because it's the cheapest I could find by quite a bit and I like the instant availability of it. That and being able to switch to it any time without needing a cartridge.

                Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:04:45 UTC from web
                1. @flamingpandaomg So I figured, still you have to buy your own SDHC first don't you ?

                  Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:05:42 UTC from web
                  1. @critialcloudkicker The 3DS had it's own 2GB SD card that came with it, but it wasn't enough so I just swapped to a 4GB card that my mom didn't need anymore since she upgraded to an 8GB a while back, so at one point we did but it wasn't because of this.

                    Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:06:57 UTC from web
                    1. @flamingpandaomg So does it take macro, mini or micro ?

                      Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:08:26 UTC from web
                      1. @critialcloudkicker they take the larger size SDHC cards like you'd see in cameras, so I assume it could take the smaller ones as long as it had an adapter that'd fit.

                        Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:10:31 UTC from web
                        1. @flamingpandaomg That is good :) I probably have an adapter or a few lying around ( And a 16GB Micro SDHC ) ... Not sure if any of them are ever going to see a 3DS though. But my little brother and me are going to the city tomorrow ( we both have a free day tomorrow ) to look at the a 3DS XL to see if it tickles our fancy

                          Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:12:44 UTC from web
                          1. @critialcloudkicker I'd especially recommend an XL over the original 3DS if possible.

                            Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:13:26 UTC from web
                            1. @flamingpandaomg Like I said, we are going to see if one of them tickles our "I wanna play a game on that !" feelings... But by all means, please explain your reasoning behind what you just said

                              Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:14:57 UTC from web
                              1. @critialcloudkicker I swear I have before. In short, the battery is better, the screen's larger, it doesn't feel quite as flimsy (the original feels fine but it does feel slightly flimsy to me), the glasses-free 3D is a little better in the 3DSXL, and the feeling overall is better. It just feels more comfortable to hold.

                                Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:19:25 UTC from web
                                1. @flamingpandaomg I know, I was hoping for something a little bit more game-related

                                  Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:20:21 UTC from web
                                  1. @critialcloudkicker ......? what do you mean game-related? It's an upgrade in the handheld itself, not in the games. You won't notice a magical increase in gameplay or anything. It's a larger screen with better contrast and battery life. :/

                                    Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:21:52 UTC from web
                                    1. @flamingpandaomg Oh, yea I should probably mention that the last gameboy I owned was one you could put DS and GBA games in... Have not really been paying any attention to the DSI at all... And now I heared there is something like "street pass" which is a total mystery to me...

                                      Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:23:22 UTC from web
                                      1. @critialcloudkicker Oh, well a lot of games have certain things you can trade with players when you pass by them if you're both in standby mode so if you're shopping or something you can possibly have their Miis appear in your games that allow them, or Street Fighter 3D has statues of all the fighters you can collect and trade and fight with others, things like that. The Mii Plaza has little games you can play with other people's Miis and you have to get puzzle pieces from other players and whatnot.

                                        Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:25:34 UTC from web
                                        1. @flamingpandaomg That depends on the game I am sure... What about games you can recomend ?

                                          Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:27:05 UTC from web
                                          1. @critialcloudkicker Well what kind of genres of games do you like?

                                            Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:27:55 UTC from web
                                            1. @flamingpandaomg I think I am going to like that remake of Zelda OoT. Animal Crossing: New Leaf. I'd like to try Prof.Layton games. Oh and Pokemon X/Y is definatly on my "keep close attention to this" list... And there is a very big chance I am going play SSB

                                              Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:29:54 UTC from web
                                            2. @flamingpandaomg I like games like Theme Hospital and otherwize build stuff, or demolish it (Blast Corps N64 was a "blast" phun intended ). I like Zelda games overal. I am not such a HUGE fan of Mario 2D sidescrollers ( Although I would welcome the chance to play Mario64 on a handheld ). And I do not think you could EVER play a shooter on a console well. Or at least I coudlnt

                                              Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:32:46 UTC from web
                                              1. @critialcloudkicker Well There's another Zelda game coming out for the 3DS at some point, there's the OoT remake, Pokemon X / Y, There's 3D Mario games out and there's Super Mario 64 DS that'll work just fine which is very close to the original but they added the ability to play as Luigi Wario and Yoshi, Resident Evil has a 3DS game that handles pretty well on its own, and I'm sure there's a lot more games I simply can't think of right now but I'm still very drowsy.

                                                Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:37:39 UTC from web
                                                1. @flamingpandaomg don't you ever recommend SM64 DS to ANYONE

                                                  Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:38:45 UTC from web
                                                  1. @rarity Ohh this gonn' be good http://denver.mylittlefacewhen.com/media/f/img/mlfw4597-1335650883700.png

                                                    Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:40:13 UTC from web
                                                    1. @critialcloudkicker Egads should have linked this one http://derpiboo.ru/images/345520

                                                      Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:41:29 UTC from web
                                                  2. @rarity Why? I enjoyed it.

                                                    Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:41:41 UTC from web
                                                    1. @flamingpandaomg analog control with a D-pad.

                                                      Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:42:40 UTC from web
                                                      1. @rarity ... I remember it playing just fine on the DS, and the 3DS has a d-pad. Still trying to find the problem here.

                                                        Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:44:40 UTC from web
                                                        1. @flamingpandaomg you have no control over your speed. You're either stopped or running full tilt. as well, you can only move in 8 directions.

                                                          Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:45:49 UTC from web
                                                          1. @rarity Y button makes you run

                                                            Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:47:09 UTC from web
                                                            1. @yodelerty that's just unnecessary complications brought on from trying to put a game that had no business being on the DS, on the DS. That game was made solely so Nintendo could say "Look, our handheld is as powerful as an N64"

                                                              Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:49:02 UTC from web
                                                              1. @rarity Say what you will but I liked the DS one more than the original and the original was one of my first video games ever.

                                                                    Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:51:52 UTC from web

                                                                    Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:52:45 UTC from web

                                                                      Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:54:14 UTC from web

                                                                        Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:55:24 UTC from web

                                                                      Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:54:22 UTC from web
                                                              2. @rarity How is that a bad thing ? I mean surely they could have put some effort into it but clearly some people out there liked it

                                                                Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:50:56 UTC from web
                                                          2. @rarity All I remember is that it played just fine and I beat the entire game.

                                                            1. @flamingpandaomg ok

                                                              Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:49:11 UTC from web
                                                          3. @rarity What about the touchscreen analog movement lol

                                                            Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:50:39 UTC from web
                                                2. @flamingpandaomg I can play DS and DSI games with no problem on a 3DS ( XL ) right ?

                                                  Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:38:55 UTC from web
                                                  1. @critialcloudkicker Yes, as far as I'm aware. The DS slot exists but the 3DS doesn't have the GBA cartridge slot.

                                                    Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:42:07 UTC from web
                                                    1. @flamingpandaomg I do not care for the GBA slot that much to be honest. Also there is this ever-expanding virtual console library. I heard they were going to add SNES games ( or maybe they already have done that ) to the 3DS virtual console game library.

                                                      Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:43:48 UTC from web
                                                      1. @critialcloudkicker They have a lot of older games in the virtual console library. There's a ton of GB, GBC, NES, SNES and all those games on there and they're usually really cheap compared to if you tried to buy a physical cartridge with the games on them.

                                                        Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:45:46 UTC from web
                                                        1. @flamingpandaomg What do you know about R4 cards ? Should I eventually try to get my hands on one of those or something ? ( /me knows nothing about R4 cards actually )

                                                          Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:49:35 UTC from web
                                                          1. @critialcloudkicker I know very little about R4 cards as well, but I know it's a way to work around the lack of GBA slot and it lets you run homebrew games and whatnot.

                                                            Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:51:43 UTC from web
                                                            1. @flamingpandaomg Ah, this is somewhat more than I knew :) ... Are there any active software-counters by Nintendo to make these cards unusable ? I doubt this info matters much since "if" I would get a R4 card I would get one at the end of the lifecycle of the 3DS family anyway ( The start of the age where you can only get 3DS games from used stores so none of the money would flow to Nintendo anyway )

                                                              Wednesday, 21-Aug-13 20:54:27 UTC from web
                                                              1. @critialcloudkicker as far as I know it occasionally there's an update that makes them temporarily unusable but they're quickly patched to make them work again. I may be wrong so don't take it as 100% accurate.

                                                  1. @redenchilada I'm sure. I remember playing SMB2 for the Gamecube and I had a lot of fun. Just haven't been able to get very many 3DS games recently.

        2. @flamingpandaomg you mean like Persona?

          1. @featherflow And I'm assuming so? Maybe. There were older Shin Megami Tensei games that were Persona, so there's that.

              1. @featherflow I never got into the Persona games when I had a PS3 or PS2 so I really don't know that much about them in general. That's the only reason why I can't tell you much about it. XD
