Hana Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 would the term being impaitent and wanting to play it to troll my friends that want to play it count ? if so then yes i already have a 3ds xl zelda triforce 3ds and my fire emblem 3ds I was so tempted by that Zelda 3DS... I'm glad I have an FE one, tho, I like it more than the Zelda one (although the Zelda one IS gorgeous!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowofchaos Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 And for the sake of supporting localizations... I GUESS I should buy an American 3DS for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'm getting a 3DS solely to play Awakening. Actually, I already got one just to play the Japanese version, and I'm going to get a US 3DS so I can play the US version too. Since I was getting a Japanese 3DS anyway, I got the special edition Awakening one. It's pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47948201 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'm going to throw down a semi-useless post here, too, probably. Man, I really hope they come out with the Awakening special edition 3DS bundle over here, but I have some serious doubts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Lightning Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 While I have been SOOOO tempted to import a Japanese 3DS and copy, I managed to hold back when they announced the US release, but I'm finding it hard to wait much longer. It also doesn't help that because I wanted to wait and see if the limited edition would be sold (which looks unlikely now), I haven't got a 3DS yet, and I'm going to have so little spending money after the holidays.... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devalon Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 And for the sake of supporting localizations... I GUESS I should buy an American 3DS for it. -Hi fives-I was thinking about ordering a 3DS with a capture card from that link in your YouTube video description. Your Lets play inspired me :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veetasoy Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Officially bought a pink 3DS XL yesterday. :) Grabbed LoZ: OoT, but I really only got the 3DS for this game. OoT's pretty addicting, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibster Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I wanted to buy that limited edition Ocarina of Time one that came out 1 yr ago, but I was too lazy xD Hopefully I can find a good deal on a 3DS. I really like the FE 3DS Japan got, but I think it might not come here :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikhal Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Definitely going to get a 3ds because of fire emblem, but I've been holding off on getting it in case they make a 3ds fire emblem in the States (I can only hope). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 ^That's what I'm doing, too. I'll likely get a 3DS at the same time as Awakening. xD But I want that special one! We can still hope! Even if it's very likely that it won't happen... My logic: The official site from Nintendo says "preorder coming soon", so they might announce the special 3DS when they put the preorder section up. ...Not saying my logic is realistic, of course.

Leif Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I ordered a 3DS XL for my Christmas gift. Does the XL have more high-def resolution for 3DS games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BossOfGuns Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 3DS sux but I might actually buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPSEliwoodGabriel Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Already have a 3DS because I wanted Kid Icarus Uprising that badly. All I have to do is pre-order and use the giftcard I got for Christmas to buy it when it comes out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'm poor Maybe I'll get the game and then share it between me and one of my friends who likes FE and has a 3ds or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinderSkye Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Get the 3DS XL. Always. I don't care how pretty that special edition 3DS is, if it's not XL, don't bother. The screen's bigger, battery life is better, the 3D effect is easier to maintain with casual effort, and the clamshell optionally snaps into a half-open position which is better for controlling some games.

JamesBCrazy Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I did. Not the XL though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onestep Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) I've actually heard it said that the XL can stretch the screen noticeably in some games, so I'm a bit hesistant to buy one for Awakening instead of a normal 3DS. I don't suppose anyone can confirm or deny at all? Edited January 4, 2013 by Onestep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinderSkye Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) I mostly notice the XL's screen stretching when playing DS games, and even then, I usually get accustomed to it fairly fast, and often compensate by holding the screen out slightly further if it's on a game where it bugs me. (It usually doesn't for, say, Pokemon - but it bugs the heck out of me for Dr. Mario for the first few minutes until I acclimate; however, I still get screen stretching on the original 3DS for DS games, so it's kind of a wash there). It's a completely reasonable tradeoff because the angle at which you can view things in 3D properly as well as the screen's brightness is just so much superior on the XL. Let me put it this way: the original 3DS is smaller, but I never took it away from home. It required too many conditions to use effectively. Even in suspend mode, the battery died too quick if you tried to keep it on for streetpass; by comparison, the 3DSXL lasts MUCH longer in streetpass mode, and slightly longer in active playtime, making it a viable all-day companion. You can turn off the 3D for both the 3DS and the XL to increase active playtime on battery, but the XL (again) benefits more from this. Also, if it was too bright out, or I was in a non-stationary position, or it was a game that required me to react quickly (thus often meaning my reactions would shake the screen) it'd be a pain and a half to be able to consistently see what was going on, frequently requiring me to turn off the 3D, with the original 3DS. None of these are really problems for the 3DSXL, and I often take it with me on long walks. The difference is so vast that I viewed the original 3DS as Nintendo's worst move since the Virtual Boy, while I now occasionally shill for the 3DS since I got the XL.

Masked_Hunter1825 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I got my 3DS as soon as I heard FE: Awakening was announced in japan, I was that excited. Even if it didn't come to NA it still has netflix. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
