Nintendo 3DS/XL Thread 3.0 : 3DSXL is Out.

[Blastdown]

Animal Crossing 3DS was announced to be coming out in the first half of next year for North America.
Rather disappointing, I was hoping and expecting it to come out before the end of the year. Oh well.

I got the Red 3DS XL to go along with my Special Edition Red DSi XL.

am i the only one who thinks new super mario bros 2 was pretty lazy

not only have they recycled litterally everything but reznor and the gold flower from new super mario bros wii, but the bosses + levels were just so ridiculously easy it's not even funny. i could have beat it in less than day but i didn't play it that much because i didn't want to beat it too fast. still, i beat it in 5 days instead even though i didn't play much, simply because it's a very short and lazy game. i really hope paper mario sticker star won't be like this.

Mario has been stuff for years but people keep eating it up so they keep churning them out.

Bump I beat New Super Mario Bros 2 in 2 days, I am upset.



Also Nearly every boss was Nerfed way too much, especially Reznor.
Updating OP soon with New area for New Super Mario bros 2 soon.

It's really that easy? :L

Might just end up getting Ocarina of Time then instead of NSMB2.

The GameStop in my area had an XL demo unit and I got to play Mario Tennis Open on it for a few minutes. The 3D felt the same, the sound sounded the same, it felt quite large and I loved the matte feel, and the pixel stretch didn't seem that bad. I'm still considering switching.

I want to bring in one of my games to get a better idea of the pixel stretch, though I don't know if GameStop allows such things.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 was the last mario game to be actually enjoyable and a bit challenging, the rest were just...no.

i haven't enjoyed a Mario game since Sunshine (main series-wise), i thought both Galaxy games were bad though the sequel being better than the first. i haven't played 3D Land yet and want to try it out, but i know i don't like the New Super Mario Bros. series

i expect Sticker Star to be fun though

Super Mario 3D land is fun

I just got New Super Mario Bros. 2, and I plan to finish every level, find every star coin, secret exit, and collect 1,000,000 coins before finishing it.

I love Mario, but I only like to play the traditional platformers.

Damnit, why must the last castle of W8 cost 100 star coiins?

There's this world called World Star and it requires you to beat the final boss to unlock it

A spoiler warning would've been nice...

But really, I kinda knew this from the start. It appears in basically every traditional Mario game nowadays.

Anyone have Ocarina of Time? How is it? Is the gameplay like spirit tracks?

It's more played like any of the n64 games, obviously.
If that's still vague, think about Skyward Sword or Twilight Princess.
