Yes, you need a screwdriver to get to the SD card in the New 3DS. Can't remember rightly, but I think the original New 3DS memory card was 4GB?? I upgraded to 32GB straight away. I download from the eShop a lot, and its nearly full, but I could delete all those demos clogging up the system. You can also back up your save data separately, yes. You have to do it manually though, so don't forget to before you delete the game off your system.

UK Sales Week Ending 5th of March; Twilight Princess off to a GOOD START.

I loved the look of this game during E3, during their Nintendo Treehouse sections. And now, I'm loving this even more. Local and Online 4-player 3D squad based shooter, set in the Metroid Universe, with a large variety of mission types. Metroid's answer to 4 swords. This looks to be so much fun, and this is my most anticipated game of the year at the moment. (Until we get more info. on Zelda Wii U that is). Want face.

Fuck, just saw the trailer, and it's burned a hole in my retina that'll last for a week. I won't be able to sleep tonight with visions of shite.

@Hero\-of\-Time I still listen every week. Stuck with it since Jonny's departure, and now James has settled in, all's good again. Well, maybe Greg can be a big mouth sometimes, but John and Gui are hilarious when they're on form. I'll be listening to both those this week, even though I need to get back into Xeno X.

I love to use base, just because of their delivery, prices and tax options. Living outside the UK, base are one of the few online retail stores to deduct UK taxes before buying. Then, top it off with a 1.49 pound delivery charge for Wii U or 3DS games and I now buy games cheaper than if I was still living back home. Gaming just got cheaper for me. However, getting hold of a UK console does tend to be a little more expensive.

Over the last 4 months, I've been placing a pre-order and then cancelling, repeating many times. I finally decided to.....not buy this game. I've got too many others to play on Wii U and 3DS to justify another purchase, no matter how good the game.

He was disinterested in hell of a lot, but due to his slight jittery voice I'll put it down to nerves, let's see if it'll get better over time. Not a disaster, but definite room for improvement.

Are RedBull still rocking the Renault engine? What with their disputes last year, I thought they'd move on.
