Herro 3DS

A normal gaming blog (in 2D) about a 3D handheld system.

Felt the need to show off some screens of Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) in Tomodachi Life.

Okay, back to be inactive.

what happened to your blog? I used to love seeing your updates.

The blog started to be a drag for me, and I wasn't having fun with it. So I took a break from updating it. I always wanted to come back to it after a short break, but I kept putting it off. And we're now left with a dead blog. Maybe one day I'll come back to it.

I wish to get a second copy of new leaf (Both the second and first copies are pysical copies) and play both on one ds to have a cycle town. Is tis going to work.

I’m pretty sure you are going to need a second 3DS in order to do any trading/other stuff with a cycle town.

uhm. i can't decide between the pink-white or mint-white color for my 3ds.... which one would you pick and why? THank you

I’m more of a bluish color kind of guy, so I would personally go with the Mint-White color. 

And here’s some unboxing videos of the two colors. Maybe they can help you with your decision. 

Pink-White  Mint-White

It should also be noted that Mint-White is a Japanese exclusive color, and the system is region lock.

Hello! I just got my 3DS just last week, and I have been seeing smudges by my fingerprints on the upper screen and I want to know how to clean it, i've been using my t-shirt but I heard i shouldn't so i use a kitchen cloth, what do you think?

Well, this is what Nintendo of America says:

Notes:

Do not use any solvents or cleaners of any kind.

Do not submerge the system in water or other liquids.

Do not pour water directly on the screens.

What to Do:

Slightly dampen a soft, cotton cloth with water ONLY and wipe off the Touch Screen and 3D Screen.

Using a dry portion of the same cloth, wipe the screens dry.

Using a loop of transparent tape, dab at any remaining dust or smudges. (I never do this step)

Repeat steps 1-3 if necessary.

Best Club Nintendo Reward Gets New Covers in Japan

Well, it looks like it's time for NOA to bring back the 18 Game Case.

And maybe even bring over some more physical items like the Colored 3DS XL Charging Docks. I need something to spend my coins on.

how do I get my friend code online

You need two things in order to get a Friend Code.

Create a Personal Mii for the System

Have an internet Connection set up

After that, you click "Orange Smiley Face" on the top row of the touch screen, and some instructions should come up. Follow them and you should be able to get your Friend Code.

Side Note: Page 39 of the 3DS XL Manual and Page 36 of the Original 3DS Manual has the information/pictures about it.

Virtue's Last Reward Digital Version Finally Hitting the North American eShop

And it will be available tomorrow for $24.99.

Of course, the 3DS version also still has save bug problem, so you may be better off with the Vita version. Unless Aksys finally got around to getting the developers to patch it.

UPDATE: $24.99 price point is part of a two week promotion for the game. After September 3rd, the game will go up in price. (Source)

Do you think there will be a gba virtual console for the 3ds eshop other than the announced wiiu? I've read the ambassador gba games use the 3ds as an actual gba so no save points but i think it's strong enough right?

My understanding of the Ambassador GBA games is that it’s ran natively through the hardware (DS Mode) and they aren’t emulate like NES/GB Virtual Console games. And most likely it was something quickly thrown together for early adopters.

Here’s a good thread on Neogaf going into some detail about the GBA ambassador titles. [Link]

But to answer your question, I really don’t see Nintendo releasing GBA games at this point in time on the 3DS. It most likely due to problems with trying to emulate the games and them not meeting the standards that Nintendo wants.
