Baconrath Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Does the new Threedy Ess work with the newer wireless standards (like n or ac)? I noticed when I switched to n only to get my phone to connect my XL hasn't really connected since it was on g/n. I'm assuming that it doesn't given that Ninty has been behind the curve in that department (iirc the Wii needed b). Or it may just be my router. :c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 According to Wikipedia both the 3DS and New 3DS are b/g only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 If you need further details: http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/498/~/compatible-wireless-modes-and-wireless-security-types The important thing for me is it supports my security, which should be common place in 2015. Back in 2011, when Pokemon Black & White came out, I gave a friend my Nintendo DS (2004) so she could play her copy of White. A roommate of hers was a jackass and accidentally threw out her DS Lite. If you remember the Nintendo DS, it was solely WEP key security. A friend and I wanted to help her receive Victini at least, and it so happened that one fellow apartment inhabitant had a router open. Crap signal and we had to attempt Mystery Gift twice, but she got Victini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Yeah, I've never been able to connect my DS to the internet cause I refuse to change my security to WEP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 The worst bit is even though you put the security details in the system, the actual games only work with WEP too, so you can't even use wifi for DS games on your 3DS. so frustrating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 That's... actually kind of amazing... Why in God's name would the game be able to tell what kind of connection you have? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Wow, so the 3D on the new 3DS really is as good as they say. I was expecting it to be a modest improvement but still a feature I would leave off most of the time, but it honestly works so well now that I could see myself leaving it on for just about everything. Admittedly, I've only tested five games or so, so maybe it works better with some titles than with others, but so far it's nearly flawless. This is what the 3DS should have been from the start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vecha Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 The 3D is much better...but I hate the damn ghosting effect. Not sure how they could fix that except to totally change the way they are creating the 3D effect. Maybe 3DS2 will have more advanced 3D.

Mister Jack Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Ghosting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecha Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 It's when the contrast levels causes the 3D to not work properly..and you get part of the 3D image repeated on both sides. That's an example. Granted..it doesn't happen in every game...but there are parts of certain games(SMT IV. Especially noticeable in the title screen) when it happens 100% of the time.

Mister Jack Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Oh, that. Well, I do occasionally see it for like half a second if I turn my head away for a while or put the 3DS back down and pick it up again, but so far the 3DS has always corrected the viewing angle so quickly that I don't even have time to get annoyed by it. If the system has my full attention and I'm not constantly moving around, though, then in my experience the 3D never wavers. Admittedly, I have not tried it with SMT IV yet, but I have tried it with Persona Q, Majora's Mask, Animal Crossing, Monster Hunter 4, Bravely Default, and Super Smash Bros. So far, everything has been near flawless. Even with the very rare and very brief instances of ghosting I see, this is still the best 3D I've experienced yet, and that includes what I've seen on television and movie screens. *edit* On an unrelated note, is it just me or did they improve the speakers too? I could almost swear it sounds better than the regular XL did. Edited March 10, 2015 by Mister Jack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 They did improve the speakers - a few people from podcasts I listen to (i.e. real users) have said they don't feel the need to wear earphones all the time with it now as you can hear most of the detail from the speakers now which used to be lost.

Vecha Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 It's only with a few games that will have the ghosting effect even if I don't move/screen is corrected. I never had much issues with the games you mentioned either(haven't played MH4). It seems it's more apparent in really, really dark areas/games. http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/359/~/ghosting%2Fdouble-image-on-upper-screen"However, scenes that display extremely high-contrast visuals (for example, if a bright object is displayed on a dark background) can make the lack of complete image isolation more noticeable. Under such conditions, there is a possibility that a faint ghosting (doubled image) may be visible."And SMT IV has quite a bit of the "high-contrast visuals"...though, like I said, it's a huge deal. Just can throw me out of the game in places where it has a very, very dark background with something bright in the middle.With all my nitpicking/complaining said...I love my New 3DS..and yeah, I feel the same way about the speakers. Really a great upgrade...and CAN NOT WAIT for Xenoblade to release )))! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 You and me both. I've already got Xenoblade pre-ordered. I'm not taking any more chances when it comes to Nintendo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Several places have been getting the Majora's Mask 3DS back in stock if any of you were still after it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecha Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hmmm...I do want it...but not sure my wallet is agreeable at the moment. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baconrath Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I would like to get some more 3DS games but the selection in my town is kinda poo poo. I've been holding off on Smash Bros. 'cause I don't want to destroy my circle pad thingy if I can help it. I already have: Pokemon X Fire Emblem: Awakening Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 If you have a New 3DS then Xenoblade is absolutely mandatory. If you don't, then try Bravely Default. I also really liked Rune Factory 4 but I get the feeling that sort of game won't appeal to everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) If you like Zelda and RPGs you would probably like fantasy life. I'm playing it at the moment and loving it and a few others on here as well have loved it too. It's basically all the side quests from an RPG but a lot more fun than that sounds! What do you like apart from RPG? Luigi mansion is fun, Mario kart is great pushmo is good on eshop.

CorgiShinobi Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 So the New Nintendo 3DS, not just the XL, will be available in North America this September 25 as part of the Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer bundle. After that bundle, it would make sense that it will eventually be available as a standalone unit. So after all the reasons it didn't make it Stateside, it's now going to be available.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 It's coming due to customer feedback. Makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
