Nintendo 3DS (thread twooooo)

[Asura]

Nintendo Imageshare has been there a long time, they just added a menu option in the New3DS. You can share screen shots via miiverse though.

I know, but they also recently added the ability to take screenshots - but only of the main system menu. Given, this is a clear bid to aid in the sale of themes, but it's a real shame they didn't just allow us to save screens as images to the SD card.

For anyone using play asia and fed ex, I just got a 22 pounds custom charge letter, so the total cost is now about 190 for the XL, but as I got 115 for the old one , I'm still glad I changed over to the new model.

...and then got sent to Germany?! That's the wrong way!! England is over here!!!

Oh well it's still better than the import days of the late 80's and early 90's

Bollocks! My shipment appears to have missed Play-Asia's deadline by TWO MINUTES.

FedEx are estimating that my New 3DS won't be delivered until New Year's Eve.

[Nu-Eclipse]

Mine is in Guangzhou, China at present.

Hit Stanstead last night. FedEx website says Tuesday delivery so I'm guessing it'll sit in customs all weekend.

EDIT; What's the biggest size Micro SD card you can put in the New 3DS?

EDIT; What's the biggest size Micro SD card you can put in the New 3DS?

Officially, 32gb - same size as the regular 3DS, because that's the biggest SDHC card you can get.

Nintendo measures in "blocks" that are a non-standard size, but as a guideline, Resident Evil Revelations is almost 4gb. I would expect most "big" games to be around that size, though Mario 3D Land and Phoenix Wright 4 were significantly smaller. As you'd expect, Virtual Console games have fraction sizes - whereas a 3DS game might be several thousand blocks, VC games tend to be <100 each, especially GB/GBC ones.

SDXC cards are not officially supported, though there are guides online to get them to work. They go up to massive sizes. I decided not to go for one of those though as I was worried it would lead to problems.

EDIT: Incidentally, Amazon have an offer on this right now...

?10 for a 32gb card. I ordered mine and it was dispatched on the 17th, though isn't due until Xmas Eve - that being said, it could arrive any time.

What card does the new one come with and what internal memory versus the previous 3DS gen?

[importaku]

New one comes with 4gb micro sd, no idea of the capacity of the system without it in. I didn't think it had internal storage.

[teddymeow]

Thanks Asura. I've got a 32GB in my phone and a spare 8Gb somewhere so I'll swap them over.

The 32GB was for music when I was catching the train but isn't needed now. Means I can go all digital with the 3DS like I did the Vita. Less to lose.

[importaku]

Not all games are digital on 3DS there are quite a few that are cart only, hopefully none that you are after if you are planning on all digital.

Next stop: Cologne, Germany.

Been released at Stanstead. Due date still says Tuesday but is there a chance it could be Monday?
