Dcubed Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) The new plaza keeps crashing my 3DS :-( Yeah, same here... Seems to have a nasty tendency to do so whenever trying to connect to the shop... BTW, here's a developer list for each game! StreetPass Squad - Developer: Good-Feel (Wario Land: The Shake Dimension, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Wii Play Motion: Veggie Guardin)-The game is a shmup in which StreetPasses can be collected as weapon power-ups in each stage. StreetPass Garden - Developer: GREZZO (Ocarina of Time 3D, Four Swords DSiWare) -The game is a slow-paced gardening game in which StreetPasses not only water your flower to grow, they also bring their own flower to display. Grow them all! StreetPass Battle - Developer: Spike Chunsoft (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Wii Play Motion: Star Shuttle, Virtue's Last Reward) -The game is a battle game based in older Japan times. It looks like the StreetPasses you make join your clan with all of their streetpasses as their armymen. Fight against enemies in Paper-Rock-Scissors style plus your army count. StreetPass Mansion - Developer: PROPE (Ivy the Kiwi, Let's Tap, Wii Play: Motion's Trigger Twist) -The game is a combination of a puzzle-adventure and exploration adventure. StreetPasses give you maps which allow you to add rooms to the mansion and potentially find items. If you encounter ghosts, this initiates a battle sequence with the items you've collected.

Serebii Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 The new plaza keeps crashing my 3DS :-( Apparently this is a common issue :/ Three new puzzles from what I can see, Skyward Sword, Xenoblade and New Super Luigi U
Dcubed Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Oh nice! You can do a save data backup from the Home Menu now too! (A little arrow appears on the bottom right when you highlight a game, press that and the option appears - MUCH quicker than doing it in System Settings! ) Apparently this is a common issue :/ Three new puzzles from what I can see, Skyward Sword, Xenoblade and New Super Luigi U There's supposedly one for NSMBU and a "Heroines" panel as well... Might be more, but those are the only ones I've heard of. Surprised that it took so long for them to release a Skyward Sword one!
Mike Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Sorry for being utterly thick, but what does the save data backup do, exactly, and what are the benefits of doing it? What's the use of having a separate save data file on the same SD card as the game is stored?
Dcubed Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Just tried using someone else's save file for a game... No good, doesn't recognise it. Looks like it wont work for sharing save files amongst each other. Also it doesn't work for the download version of Animal Crossing, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate or Pokemon Mystery Dungeon GTI, so it seems that Nintendo can block it from working with certain games (no item duping for you!)
Ike Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Save backup? :bowdown: Shame it doesn't work with certain games, gotta back them up the old fashioned way.
Mokong Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) The new StreetPass Plaza crashes every time I try to check the price of the new games Also, when you go into the Plaza Shop and the rabbit talks to, when you select a game and he gives you the initial info and asks if you want more... when you select "Yes Please" he pulls out a tablet and declares "Good thing I've got my new tablet with me" WTF? Tablet? Such a missed opportunity by Nintendo. They could have had him pull out another 3DS or even a DS Phat like Luigi's "phone" in LM2 or even better they could have had the rabbit use a Wii U GamePad, but no they give him a generic Ipad/Tablet device Edited June 18, 2013 by Mokong
Ike Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) He's just using the web based eShop. Reports coming in that if you delete a digital title it will backup the save first and restore it when you redownload it, so that's probably my biggest complaint (after accounts) fixed.

Ganepark32 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 G'day people. After a slew of big releases, I'm considering picking up a 3DS once again after having gotten rid of mine at the back end of last year. So, the reason for posting: anyone know of any decent deals on 3DS bundles? I'm particularly interested in Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion 2 and Castlevania if that helps in anyway. As for the console itself, I'd probably prefer the original model and not the XL but if there's a decent bundle, I'd be willing to plonk for the latter. Had a quick look around in store in GAME but as you'd expect, there wasn't anything worth putting money down on (didn't actually think there would be but thought I'd look anyway. There may have been something but tbh, I was a bit tipsy from drinking to really care :p). Anyway, any heads up on stuff would be greatly appreciated. Seeing all this Animal Crossing fun has made me really want to get back in on the action.
-Dem0- Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Anyway, any heads up on stuff would be greatly appreciated. Seeing all this Animal Crossing fun has made me really want to get back in on the action. There have been some great deals in recent weeks/months. Just keep a look out in here and the bargains thread, you're bound to find a good deal soon. If I find anything I'll let you know.
f00had Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) If you buy 3 of the games you mentioned and register them on Club Nintendo before the end of June you can download a 4th one free. There are more details on their website: http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/Nintendo-3DS-So-Many-Games-Promotion/Overview/Overview-750393.html The cheapest place to get a 3DS right now is ASDA where it's £140, the red ones are out of stock on their website but the Silver and Blue ones are available for purchase. I recommend buying 3DS games from ShopTo, they have great prices and very fast postage, I always get my games within 2 days and sometimes it's next day. EDIT: Sorry I re-read your post and realised you wanted the original and not XL. You can get the original from Amazon for £133 which includes a free screen protector and naff game Edited June 21, 2013 by f00had

The Limited Edition Fire Emblem Nintendo 3DS XL and Black Monter Hunter XL are £159.99 (or was it £149.99?) instore at GAME. They were advertising them in the window of my local this morning. Sold out online btw. Smyths Toys tend to have decent deals on 3DS bundles too, so check them out if you have one nearby. EDIT - Just seen this on HUKD. Some users have seen the XL for £119 at their local Tesco stores. Edited June 21, 2013 by welsh_gamer
Ealdst Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I had a notification for a new system update to be installed this morning, anyone know what it does?
Londragon Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I had a notification for a new system update to be installed this morning, anyone know what it does? Is it the fix for those 4 Mii Plaza games?
Ike Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 If it's the 6.1.0-11U update, it's just system stability and other "minor adjustments". Otherwise it's probably the new Street Pass games if you didn't update before.
Andyliini Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I don't know if it's the same thing, but I got a puzzle piece for Dillon's Rolling Western last night. I didn't get a system update, tough.

Otherwise it's probably the new Street Pass games if you didn't update before. Nope, it's 6.1.0-12U, got it this morning after checking out the eShop (and I already had 6.1.0-11U as well as the latest Streetpass Plaza update) No idea what it does. Probably some other security fixes I'd assume

-Dem0- Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Don't think they have the new StreetPass stuff yet still. Yup. They still don't have it. Only JP & EU for now.
Haden Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 Just checking out the new streetpass games, if anyone has downloaded them could they tell me if they rely on streetpassing or if you can use coins like in the old games. I don't get many actual streetpasses but I walk a lot

I don't get many actual streetpasses but I walk a lot You can just use Play Coins to use the AI characters like in Street Pass Quest before it. Which is a wonderful for me also.
dazzybee Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 But it's a little more brutal, especially now with Animal crossing. 10 coins a day. Animal Crossing = 4 coins Mansion, Garden and Blast = 2 coins per person Battle = 10 coins, or 15 coins Puzzle and Quest = 2 coins each So... if you rely on coins, then you're going to be seriously stretched
Grazza Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 I think it's time for Nintendo to lift the 10-coins-per-day limit. It just doesn't make sense now there are so many things to spend them on.

If they start raising the limit, it then begins to trivialise the coins in the first place. They don't want you being able to spend them to buy everything very easily, because it then leaves you with less reasons to carry your 3DS around with you if you have all the Play Coins that you need.

It really wouldn't trivialise it. I carry my 3DS with me when I can, but most of the time it's not convenient. Most of what I do is too active/kinetic to have my 3DS on me - the last thing I want to do at the end of a hard day is go out again just to get the coins. As such, my Puzzles are sitting there uncompleted, and they never will be. Maybe your lifestyle can fit it in, but try and understand those who can't.
