Was just wondering if there was any difference between the Animal Crossing Amiibo cards available in Europe and those n Australia? Reason for asking is that I'm trying to complete my daughter's series one set. With series 2 I bought a box of 42 Amiibo card packs from Play Asia for £98, and was able to complete the entire set. As we've already got quite a few cards from series 1, I thought I'd look on eBay, but I'm already up to £104 with still quite a few cards missing. Play Asia has a box of 42 packs of series 1 for £98, but these are marked as being Australian. Obviously, it will be cheaper for me to buy one of these boxes than buy individually on eBay, but will they be the same as the European cards, and will they also be compatible with a UK copy of Happy Home designer? Thanks for any help 😀

Brilliant! Thanks. Will get my order placed 😀

I've just purchased the Yoshi's Springtime Siesta theme for my New 3DS. It said it downloaded successfully, but it's not showing in the list of available themes. I can't see how I can try deleting it and re-downloading it, or how to fix it. Has anyone else had this before and know how to fix it? I would add that, before I could buy it, I had to install an update, so my 3DS is fully up to date. Thanks

OK, I've found out what's happened. The theme is available, but Nintendo has got the name wrong! It's showing as ACNL: Bunny Day, although the icon is actually a Yoshi Egg. My guess is that they copied this theme and updated the graphics but forgot to change its display name!

I've looked and it doesn't show up in the list of themes to delete. I've actually deleted some other themes in case I've got too many. When I go to the theme shop it says it's purchased and there's no option to download or re-download it! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Got mine yesterday as well. Won't go into all the details as obviously they're the same as others! A quick overview of my opinions having now played with it. First my negative comments: Agree that the power button is a bit of a pain to use. The new stylus isn't as nice or comfortable to use as the original 3DS I've found that when holding the unit with the stylus out, my finger rubs against the stylus opening on the unit which is a bit uncomfortable, so I have to consciously move my finger to a more comfortable position, Don't like the auto brightness. Never used it with my original 3DS so it probably isn't unique to the new one. And now my likes: Turned Auto Brightness off and the display is brilliant. The slightly bigger screen is good. I never really liked my daughter's 3DSXL as, for me, the screens are too big, but this new size suits me well. The whole console feels a bit more solid than my original 3DS. There's no 'wobble' on the top screen. Whether this will change in time, obviously I don't know. The rounded edges also make it nicer to hold and I imagine that it will be more comfortable especially when playing for a long time. The new arrangement of Home, Start and Select buttons is far better then then original - I hated the original's 'flat' buttons. System transfer, while painfully slow, worked well and as far as I can see, everything has transferred over. I like the idea of the face plates. They are a far better way of customising the console than stickers are. Boot up time is a lot faster. Am now toying with getting Super Smash Bros for the console (already have the WiiU version) just so I can try out the new buttons! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Has anyone had any luck getting ingredients like vinegar from your neighbours? So far every time I've helped them out all they've given me is a piece of fruit that I could have picked myself! Starting to get really annoying!

Are you sure? I thought that all download games were 'locked' to the console?

Had a reply from Nintendo (wow, nice and quick!). Apparently the System Transfer function not only copies over all your settings, but also all your save data from downloaded games etc. Games will have to be re-downloaded from the e-shop but other than that, it should work. You'll all know if it doesn't work, as my daughter will probably scream so loudly, the whole country will hear her

Thanks. I've looked at the save data function and guess what? ACNL is not supported! This is c**p as this is one game you definitely don't want to have to start all over from the start! I've emailed Nintendo to see what they say about transferring over to a new system.

My daughter has the download version of ACNL. If she was to upgrade to a 3DSXL, will the game still work if we just put the sd card into the console, or will it have to be re-downloaded? And if it has to be re-downloaded, is there any way of transferring all her save data? Her HHA rating is over 1,000,000 now, so she wouldn't be at all impressed if she had to start all over again. Thanks.

Whilst I've already got the original Wii remotes and remote plus attachments, I'm looking to replace these with jsut Wii Remote Plus's. I'm only looking for official Nontendo controllers. Looking around, you can get Wii Remote Plus controllers, but I've also see Wii U marketed remote plus controllers, which seem to be slightly more expensive. I am right in saying that there's no difference between these Wii U controllers (which also work the Wiis) and the original Wii remote Plus controllers? In which case, i might as well save a few pounds and get the original versions. Or is there any difference in the build quality?

Basically, can this be done and, if so, how? I've looked for a data management option, but at the moment haven't been able to find it. I know from trialing these in the past that I do not want them on my console, so hopefully there must be some way of removing them, short of moving them to the bottom of the last screen!

Thanks. Found it and have deleted both of these.

The whole family were playing this last night and, in particular, Mario Chase. I've not heard so much shouting and laughter from a game in a long time!

Tried again this afternoon with no luck so took the console upstairs next to my router. It connected and updated first time, so my issue was probably due to my Wii U being far away from my router (2 flights of stairs away!). I also changed the connection settings by using the AOSS button on the router. I've now taken it back downstairs and all is working well. In fact I'm typing this reply on my control pad. So now can get on with actually playing on it

I'm on Virgin but have my hub set to modem mode and am using a Buffalo router. My Wii U passes all the connection tests but every time I try and perform a system update it tries and then comes up with 'an error has occurred'. Is this due to everyone trying to update at the same time or is it the same problem people on this thread are having? *** edit *** Just been playing around a bit more. When I try updating I get different error codes and on a few occasions it's got as far as 'downloading data for update' but then it fails with 'cannot connect to server'. Is this something wrong at my end or is it the servers being overloaded?

All my plans have been scuppered! Will be collecting my WiiU whilst at work, but then have to be home early because we're seeing Michael McIntyre in the evening. I already knew about this, but was planning on setting it all up on Saturday when the kids were out at their various clubs. Now turns out that my Wife has arranged a day out with friends, so there'll be no time to set it up at all. So probably won't be until Sunday before I get a chance to even take it out of its box

Quick question about the Hard Drive. Is it only for use with downloadeable games, or will we be able to copy games from disc onto it? If I'm not planning (initially) on getting dowload games, do I assume that there's no rush to get an HDD as I'll be getting the 32Gb Premium Wii U and this will be enough to be going on with?

I think my wife's given up trying to stop me getting things! She knows what I'm like, and, after 20 years of marriage, knows she's not going to change me

Can't say that I'm hyped at all. Maybe it's an age thing (I'll be 50 next year!). But it hasn't stopped me pre-ordering one. I knew that I'd end up getting one anyway, so thought I might as well buy one at launch. Am going to the MCM Expo at the Excel this Sunday. Hopefully they'll be demo'ing it there and it may hype me up a little. Thing is, I'm working the day of release (I took the day off for the Wii release). I'll go and collect it at lunchtime, but won't be able to do anything with it until Saturday as we're seeing Michael McIntyre that Friday night. Haven't said anything to my family about getting one. I'm hoping to sneak it indoors, and then set it up when the kids are out at their various clubs on Saturday morning so that it's ready when they get back.

Managed to 3 star 2 more tracks yesterday. The 150cc Special Cup, for once, took it really easy on me and in the end it was a breeze. Wish the AI showed some consistency. It's almost as if the AI said "OK, I've hammered him enough now, so I'll take it easy on him this time!"

I think that blue shells latch on to whoever was in the lead when they were fired, so if you are leading and hear that one's been fired, the best you can do is slow down and try and take out a few of the computer karts with you.

Have managed to 3 star a couple more levels, but am still finding new ways that the computer is cheating. On Rosalina's Ice World, I was in the lead and got to the circular part with the sheer drop to the right. Got hit by a bomb and saw a couple of computer karts also fall down the drop. OK fair enough, this happens, but . . . . I got put back to the start of the circular part, but all the other karts, including those hit with me, were all finishing that section - wtf! Then, when I'm trying to catch up, I was still in 8th and on the left part of the track, the kart in 6th was on the right, with 7th place not far from 6th, when 6th place fired a green shell at a 45 degree angle straight into me - again wtf!!! I really think there needs to be some petition created where people will threaten not to buy any future versions of Mario Kart until Nintendo sort out the ai. Or do away with weapons in single player mode and only have them in multiplayer.

I know that, once I've got 3 stars, my enjoyment will return, and at least when you get hit in multiplayer it's acceptable, because the hits are usually spread out more evenly. Will just keep playing until the ai decides to give me a break for a few races! (but it shouldn't be like this).
