14 hours and 29 minutes. Haven't played in a while, due to the amount of backlog games I'm trying to plough through, but it's a game that I definitely will come back to for short blasts as my son and I like to play this together. The local co-op, with one on the GAmePad other on the TV is excellent fun. In fact, the majority of my play time is in co-op mode. It might get stale quicker if playing single player only.

I'm most certainly not part of the old gang. I picked MH3U up late, but loved it. Will definitely be picking this up on release via download. Need to have this permanently stuck to the 3DS.

Yes, your zombie is gone after your second death. You can pick up all the weapons again from the same areas that you found them in, just that they may be located in different places. For example, in Buckingham Palace you'll find the crossbow, die twice and effectively lose it, it'll respawn somewhere different in Buckers. As long as you don't play it as a traditional FPS, but as a thinking man's survival, Ubisoft nailed the atmosphere on it. I think a lot of the reviewers missed the point on taking it slow and scoping areas out, picking off individual zombies, and running when the shit goes down.

Congratulations. ANd, yes that's all true, no normal SD card works, it has to be a micro SD card. It does come with a 4GB micro SD card. If like me that's not big enough you will have to purchase a new one, and copy and paste as you said. I tried to copy directly from SD card to micro SD card, but it fucked up along the way. I recommend you copy to PC first, then from PC to SD micro.

Yes, it does. Just like how the old CPP worked.

I upgraded from the original 3DS to a New 3DS XL, so it feels like a massive upgrade. Maybe from the age of my old machine, or the sheer amount of downloads, etc. I have, the old machine struggled at times to load up games or applications, would freeze at times when pressing the Home button whilst in game. And the battery life was terrible. Fast forward to today, and all those problems have gone away. Games load up faster, The C-stick is an awesome addition for games like Monster Hunter, Miiverse is as fast as it is on the Wii U, the clarity and contrast of the screens is much more vibrant and clear, the battery life is far greater (due to it being unused as yet), no lock-up's in evidence yet, and I can now use the internet browser just fine. Things I don't like about it - nothing really, but the only thing I didn't like about the original was the lack of the C-stick and having to attach the boat for some games, that problem has disappeared. In all, I'm well happy with my purchase, and can't wait for those enhanced and exclusive games to come out, especially Xenoblade, never played it on the Wii as I had a Japanese one. But, remember it is a 3DS not new hardware.

Phoenix Wright for me, but that's only because I haven't played Shovel Knight yet.

For sheer hours put into it Mario Golf:World Tour (over 100 hours), but would like to pick up Fantasy Life at some time.

So much quality in that list, and so many good games that I haven't got around to play yet, but will (Stealth Inc. and Shovel Knight are 2 such games). However, I did get to review Guacamelee for Nintendo:Review, and not only was it the best eShop title I played all year, it was one of the very best games I've played. Amazing combat and combat related puzzles throughout, and drop in drop out 2 player co-op was the icing on the cake. This is what I thought when I played it a while back; http://nintendoreview.co.uk/2014/07/guacamelee-super-turbo-championship-edition/ Honorable mentions must go out to Lone Survivor, Scram Kitty, SteamDig World, and Thomas Was Alone.

It's a close call between Bayonetta 2 and Mario Kart 8, but for me Bayonetta 2 just pips MK8 to the finish line. MK8 is excellent in all respects, except the missing modes implemented in other MKs, like Mission Mode. Jesus Nintendo the Mission Mode on MKDS and the downloadable Missions in MKWii where are they, a little weekly competition wouldn't hurt anyone!

Not sure, but when transferring between my 2 3DS' I was warned that all the folder and its contents in entirety will have to be transferred, otherwise the data inside becomes unreadable. I'd say copy the whole folder across, it's the one labelled Nintendo 3DS. For game saves it may be different????

I'll put this in here as I got vouchers when importing from Play-Asia. If anyone wants to buy something, i.e. a New 3DS, from Play-Asia (actually it can be anything as long as it's over US $60), I have 2 $5 vouchers off. I am in no way going to use them, and I should imagine that only one voucher can be used for one transaction. If anyone is importing and wants a little discount voucher I'll be more than happy to give you the code. Let me know.

And here's mine; 1. Ocarina of Time 2. Majora's Mask 3. Wind Waker 4. Skyward Sword 5. Twilight Princess

Yay! My New 3DS XL arrived today! Downside though, when performing the system transfer I had internet connection problems, then copied my old SD card to my new microSDHC card, and my New 3DS does not recognize anything???? Lost all my download data, so will have to redownload everything, but most gutting is the loss of my save data (MH3U and the Mii Plaza stuff especially), all gone!! Edit: So, tried again by deleting the info. on the new Micro SD Card. The first time I copied from SD card to SD card direct, this time I copied to my computer, then from the computer to the new SD Card, and thank fuck, it worked, Pheww!!! Back to gaming, BTW the Super 3D is so cool.

Looks like I'm getting a FedEx customs bill when they deliver it tomorrow, an extra 9 quid. Oh well, worth it in the end.

Just finishing up Season 2
