Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[Nintendo 3DS] The 3DS XL is out.

Boo...
P.S. - This game they are showing on the Japanese video looks weird. I can't tell what's going on here. It's like an RPG but there is a grid you draw like Picross?
It's Etrian Odyssey! Long standing super popular RPG series from the DS, where you map out the dungeons yourself.

Raccoon suit with flight in 2D. Awesome.

Also, yay Nintendo. Welcome to like 5 years ago. You're almost caught up!
Ah.. I saw a giant tree. I thought maybe Square was having another run at giving us every kind of Mana game except the damn style people liked
People at GAF are already bitching about it being lazy for being the same art style, but this is still going to look awesome in 3D, and I like the gradual addition of SMB3 elements to these games. There's the colored panels and P meter!

People at GAF can go to hell. What were they expecting? Grimdark Mario?
Edit: Haha, I liked this one:
Wii U and 3DS Codes
They announced New Super Mario Bros. Mii at e3 last year. But yeah, I'm surprised they are doing two. But then, they are apparently doing that with Smash Bros as well, so *shrug*
There is some sort of gaming event coming up in the next two months that might indeed shed some light on those two.
I'd say LM2 is a definite for this year and PM is probably late this year or early next.
Folders only came to iOS at version 4 so two years or so ago. Not sure how long android had them.
I'll only get Animal Crossing when Nintendo allows downloadable retail games. I don't mind (and usually prefer) physical media for stuff but Animal Crossing is such a pain to get into without having easy access to it.
True, I figure E3 will be the time we'll finally get more info. It's just a bit frustrating.

I was more referring to the fact that they can actually patch their games now
I don't know. I'd agree except I've seen the issue come up enough at this point to just assume the developers that are going to be lazy are just going to be lazy and the ability to patch will at least let those lazy developers not completely screw over people
Wii U and 3DS Codes
The last two console Zelda games have had game-breaking bugs that had to be fixed using the most arcane methods imaginable due to the system's lack of support for patches.
I think there's something incredibly wrong with the industry that it allows games to ship broken and be patched to work later, but not having that available on Nintendo platforms hasn't stopped bugs from getting through at all. The only difference is that games that ship broken stay broken.
Don't toss out your broken/unusable/worn out Nintendo (especially Gamecube/N64) controllers! Donate them to me!
Not nitpick but do you mean arcane?
Wii U and 3DS Codes
The only physical game I have is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Digitally, I have Mario's Picross, VVVVVV (this is kinda the main reason I got one), and Sakura Samurai because it sounded awesome
Two things I've been continually thinking since my purchase:
1) I'd really love to try Kid Icarus, but the stand and any possible discomfort that comes with it frighten me. I don't know anyone who has purchased it yet to give it a try.
2) Why the hell aren't Pokemon Red/Blue on the VC?

This is true. I'd even accept a "channel" like MKWii and Wii Fit to allow for a little bit of basic stuff.
Same for nintendogs + cats.
Guess that means I didn't win a toad one then..... How did they notify you?
It will be called Castlevania: Orchestra of the 3rd Dimension.
Email from Club Nintendo. I'm glad I can give it to my bro. He's not in a position to buy one at the moment but I know he'll be into it.
Hey cool, hopefully you find some good stuff to enjoy on it. Weird to purchase it for VVVVVV when the game's just fine on PC but whatever! I agree that it's awesome and worthwhile on 3DS too. If you like Resident Evil at all, or even if you just don't actively dislike the series, I definitely recommend RE: Revelations. And every 3DS owner should own Mario 3D Land and/or Mario Kart 7.
1) I think everyone was concerned about this before it came out, but most people seem to be able to adjust to Kid Icarus pretty well. I haven't read a lot of accounts of people saying "well too bad, I hate playing this game and can never play it again." It takes an hour or two and a little tweaking of the settings and you should be fine. I'd even go so far as to say that if you do find someone with the game and get to try it out, you should play it as if you had purchased it and wanted to get used to the controls to validate your purchase. It may have an initial turnoff that is worth getting past.
The story and characters are just awesome, feeling more like a classic Disney movie than Nintendo's usual approach.
2) My assumption has always been that the games are not "complete" without being able to trade Pokemon, Nintendo doesn't want to sell an incomplete version of one of their most popular franchises, and the logistics of getting GB link working over local wireless just for an old game don't justify devoting a lot of resources to it.
Or maybe there's something weird about their original license/agreement with Game Freak that complicates matters.
Or maybe they're just waiting for a good major Pokemon release to help promote it.

Nobody knows what might be announced at E3 in early June. Personally I don't see a new model as being very likely when they're selling the existing hardware at a loss and have a major new console release before the end of the year, but if you want to be absolutely sure, wait until after E3.
I usually skip the second revision and get the third anyway.

I'm guessing this is as good as place as any to post this:

This has been on the top of my "wanted sequels" list since I played TWEWY. An absolutely astonishing game that came totally out of nowhere.
