Nintendo 3DS & 3DSXL General Discussion

Another question: Best place to buy cover plates?

Last I checked Amazon had a few for good prices.

 

[XDUCKETTX]

I hope they port Super Castlevania, Contra 3 and Super Street Fighter 2.

Yes! Contra 3: The Alien Wars would rock.

 

[darkknight]

X or Y for sure.

Gold and Silver too.

Definitely!

Thanks! I see Y is on sale for $30 at target, so I'll start with that.

Anyone know if the new 3ds pokemon edition has ips or tn screen? Is it a big difference?

 

[Chapter 2099]

GREAT question. And oddly enough, I was on reddit the other day looking for the answer. A few members claimed that their bottom screens (or maybe top) were TN. From what I've read, many people have both IPS screens. HOWEVER, I am reading more and more tonight about people who bought 2 systems and they're seeing a difference.

IMO, there's definitely a difference when we're talking about display monitors on your computer, etc. HOWEVER, I think on a screen this size, you won't see a HUGE difference. Just my opinion. (I don't have my Pokemon 3DS in hand yet though, still waiting on TRU.) I might 'sing' a different tune then.

Which do you think you have?

I also haven't figured out (other than by look) how these people know 100% that it's IPS vs. TN. I know the differences, but not sure without having two if I could say for certain. My current 3DS XL I believe has IPS x 2.

I have it hiding right now, my son's birthday is next month but I think I'm gonna open it up and verify. He has the original DS XL. Do you know what screen those are? I was gonna try and compare it to that.

 

[Chapter 2099]

Hmmm. Honestly, I have no idea.

 

[Chapter 2099]

Another question though for you guys:

Sold my previous New 3DS. I'm obviously going to do a system transfer, but afterwards, what needs to be done to 'wipe' it so I don't need to worry about CC info, IDs, etc?

I've looked around and think I figured it out, but I want to be sure.

This is the charger from my son's DS XL. Can someone verify theirs for the new 3ds. I would appreciate it.

 

[FSLAR]

There's only one model of the 3DS charger, and they're compatible with every 3DS model. Original, XL, New 3DS, and New 3DS XL

 

[Chapter 2099]

So quick update (and left me preface by saying I'm not uber-tech savy. I know a lot, but not as much as probably many of you):

I compared the screens on my "old" New 3DS XL and my "new" New 3DS - I think both top screens are IPS. But my XL I think has a TN bottom screen, while the 3DS has a IPS. I can view the 3DS from all angles and really have no obvious distortion. Totally different on the XL - I get a black out effect at extreme angles. It'a not a HUGE difference though, from a gaming experience. Overall, both are great.

Screen protectors came today. Perfection. FINALLY, I can play this thing.

 

[Chapter 2099]

Ordered a faceplate from Play-Asia. Everything went great. Highly recommended!

 

[Chapter 2099]

Pokemon Silver and Gold are coming to the 3DS virtual console in the Fall! Memories!!!

 

[Captain Clown]

 

[BurningRage]

Mario and Luigi rpg remake

 

[Chapter 2099]

It's nice seeing a decent Prime game back for the 3DS, even if it is a remake.

 

[Theokan]

Oh wow, remake of Gameboy Metroid II, which IMO is sort of the missing link in the trilogy since the original Gameboy hardware was kind of limited for such a huge game, that's the one game that needed a remake.

I always confuse the names. My mistake.

no worries though since Prime 4 is coming on switch, while Metroid 2 remake coming to 3DS, so both are coming, it's perfect imo.
