How does transferring the saved data from the demo to the full game work? Do you have to pre-order the full game from the 3DS to have the full game's data installed to your system to be able to transfer the data? Or once you get the game, digital or physical, can you go back to the demo and then transfer the data?

Tell the professor in the demo what you want to send and it'll instruct you from there

just a warning for anyone who plans to reset for starters in any way: the last save point before you have to make your choice is right before you go back to town with lillie

I made the mistake of not saving at all because I thought it would be clear when I'd be picking, but one cutscene lead to another and I ended up having to restart the whole game

I don't really like playing as Sombra that much because she's one of those "split off from the team" heroes, I like to stick together

Also there rarely seems to be anyone I can pick off and still get away with my life, but I'm sure that just takes practice

Games / Swapdoodle - Swapnote returns

« on: November 17, 2016, 10:05:37 AM »

Long-time 3DS users might remember Swapnote, a service that let users share notes and drawings with friends, which was shut down a few years ago because people were using it for...devious purposes. It makes its return today, to some extent, on the eShop in the form of Swapdoodle. It's largely the same, you can draw/write in 2D/3D and attach in-game screenshots or stickers, though for some reason you can also pay for drawing lessons if you so choose. Everyone's favorite mascot, Nikki, is back too.

I hate that mercy can rez in arena, I'm not sure why she wouldn't be able to or what she would do instead, but it seems completely against the point of the mode and the first time someone on the other team did it I said "are you kidding me?" out loud

I guess it's somewhat balanced by the fact that you have effectively 3v2, but I still think it's stupid

Nintendo has issued a statement regarding unauthorized access to Sun & Moon. If you played the games online at any point, they know about it and your system has been banned indefinitely.

I did a ton of 3v3s but it suffers from Lone Wolf Syndrome even worse than typical matches; at least half of the rounds I played my teammates would go in two completely different directions, even though most of the time they were in a party together

And almost every single time, the person I didn't go with would die in the first 60 seconds

I have to admit that skin looks a lot better in-game than it did when they revealed it

well it's a halloween event item
so it's much more likely to be for a character that was actually released at the time.

on the contrary, I think it's equally as likely that it was meant as a teaser for a new hero

I mean, we did have a long (albeit awful) ARG leading up sombra's release

I can't play 1v1 or 6v6 randoms because it might put me on Winston or Tracer and ruin my play times :(

As far as everything else goes, it's fun; I played some 3v3 as Zenyatta and got POTG 2/3 games, and playing against Sombra isn't as infuriating as I first expected

I'm not sure how I feel about the leveling change

I guess since the total exp to rise 100 levels is mostly the same it doesn't matter too much, but I'm bummed that there isn't a nice loot box bonus as a reward for being promoted anymore

Sadly I'm pretty sure that's referencing Lucio, not Sombra

lucio: has an ability that is occasionally referred to in the community as a "boop"
sombra: says "boop" multiple times in official media

there's no concrete evidence it's one way or the other but I have a really strong feeling it was an early sombra gag

A new trailer has been released, featuring some of the information from CoroCoro.

Decidueye's Z-Move is called Sinister Arrow Raid, Incineroar's Z-Move is called Malicious Moonsault, and Primarina's Z-Move is called Oceanic Operetta. You can also use your Z-Move to power up a status move for additional effects instead of attacking. Two of the Ultra Beasts are UB-03 Lighting and UB-05 Glutton.

The events at launch are as follows:
- Obtain Ash-Greninja in the Special Demo and you can receive it via Mystery Gift in the full game.
- Scan the QR code for Magearna (release pending) and you can pick it up at an antique shop in Hau’oli City.
- As an early purchase gift, access Mystery Gift before the end of the year to receive a Munchlax holding Snorlium Z.
