    Damn that XL offer is not in the US.

    I grabbed one despite my up till now firm stance on waiting for the inevitable re-design. Good thing that's what happened with the last two Nintendo handhelds for me too (facepalm). Now to decide whether I want to pay for it or hold it till the holidays...

    Anyone else on here buy Zelda II from the VC today? I did and it isn't showing up on my Club Nintendo account like it normally does. Wondering if it is just because it's Thanksgiving or something.

    I feel really silly quoting myself, but I also noticed after playing the game that you cannot make a save state and reload to it. You only save if you quit out of it. Also, instead of showing the NES along with the title screen when you have the game selected like the first game does, you only see a screen and that is skill. Is this what the Ambassador version was like? I'm thinking they just put that out instead of making it like the other VC games. Otherwise, if no one else's is like mine, maybe mine downloaded badly.

    That is exactly how the Ambassador games work(ed). Try redownloading Zelda II from the eShop and it should fix everything. Hopefully...

    So I'm noticing that the red 3DS is no longer shown on the Nintendo site...seriously considering picking up a spare to stash away in case something ever happens to my current one. :-/

    If it's anything like the other Black Friday special edition DS/3DS bundles I'm guessing Nintendo just made 47 of them.

    Ugh don't tell me that. I'm so fuckin' afraid I'm gonna drop this thing and crack it or otherwise do it in for good (or one day I'll wake up and the miscolored Circle Pad will start bothering me for some reason) there will be no way to replace it because they won't be making red anymore. Urgh.

    Well, the 3DS is heavily rumored to be getting a price drop to $139 soon so I might do it anyway...we'll see. (I doubt it though.)

    My Target guy says they printed out 129.99 and 139.99 tags for the 3DS, which means they are probably gonna have it on sale when the price shifts.

    Honestly though, I know the price is good but the 3DSXL is like 100X better than the 3DS and I think majorly worth the price tag.

    It's not a matter of price, it's a matter of color selection.

    Either way I have no interest in the XL whatsoever.

    Well this is a roller coaster. First I find out there's picross to play on my shiny new 3DS. Then I immediately learn I can't play it. :(
    EDIT: I also see no point to the larger form factor. The screen on the vanilla 3DS is plenty big as-is. At least for me.

    Say what you will but the Game Boy Micro was my favorite iteration of the GBA.

    I have a friend of mine who carries his Micro everywhere with him. He's also a huge Sony fanboy but admits that the GBA Micro is the best PURE portable system ever made.

    World 1-1 is a bit too oft traveled for my tastes, but some of those SMB3 stages, complete with the cards at the end, seem pretty swish.

    Alright and in this next scene all the animals have AIDS.

    I got a little excited when I saw your ship.

    I saw the Japanese one first, and when Iwata said muryou haishin, I wondered what that meant and looked up my dictionary to find out it means "free distribution" and thought I was misinterpreting what he said.

    I'm downloading it when I get home.

    so what happens to old ambasador 3ds's when nintendo starts to link everything via the nintendo account and not tied down to the actual system?

    (like say you bought one, could the orignal owner then using his nintendo club account tie them to a new system?)

    They'd still be linked via your Club Nintendo account.

    It is totally awesome. I'll describe some of what you would be experiencing if you had it.
    You start off at the start of 1-1, and immediately use your golden flower. You proceed along, going through familiar ground that happens to have additional coins sprinkled in. Nothing that impressive. Then you go down the pipe as usual, but instead of a small bonus room, you somehow wind up in 1-2. You proceed along, picking up coins that weren't there in the original, until you hit the wall of destructible blocks with the gap under it. You wince, thinking of all the work you'll need to do to get through the level. And then it hits you that this time, you have a golden flower. You proceed to make the majority of 1-2 explode.

    It goes from there.

    Unchained Blades sequel a 'maybe' in US after the first gets on 3DS
    Unchained Blades is due for the 3DS in December, "hopefully," XSEED writes on its Facebook page. After that launch, XSEED might start localizing the sequel, Unchained Blades EXXIV, for western audiences.

    "We're still struggling to get the original out on 3DS first," XSEED writes. "After that's finally out the door (hopefully December), then maybe we can start thinking about the sequel."

    Unchained Blades hit PSP on June 26, for $30, and it is available now on the Vita via the PlayStation Store.
