Hi guys,
Thanks for the info these past 11 pages, learned a lot

I just have a question about the recent Club Nintendo promotion: register a 3DS XL with Luigi's Mansion or Mystery Dungeon and get a free game.. I'm wondering if we get this promotion if we register from Malaysia, using a US 3DS XL? I have set up my 3DS to have a US e-shop so I can just use that to get the game?

In terms of registering online, I'm not too bothered as I can ask a friend in the US to register the item for me. But yeah what bugs me is that I won't be able to download the free game later... anyway thanks for the help!

I see! Thank you for your input guys, I'll be placing my order for Mystery Dungeon soon then

Oh, and I don't know if you guys have seen this news, but...

Literally made my night when I saw the title.... but it's filed in Europe though. Hope it will be released in NA as well!!

wow so jealous! from whom did you buy it? i still haven't received mine yet. :/

Added you, my FC is 0018-0062-3226 Currently playing FE as well. It's the cat's meow

Added, thank you~

Take your time! I'm on chapter 18... I think? I grind for levels a lot though. Plus aiming to have everyone propose to my female avatar, lulz.

I don't know if you guys are excited about it as I am, but Bravely Default & Fantasy Life are both being localized and are coming to US. I'm less excited about Shin Megami Tensei IV, but it's coming in July too, probably.


MY PURSE.

Yeah, true... So far SN hasn't let me down though. What they say will come out, usually does.

In any case, need to get my money ready for new games

Oh dear Fingers crossed we get them. FL is a pretty big game, I have my doubts as well, by my purse has faith

Just wondering, what headphones do you guys use for playing 3DS XL? Which is apparently the best, or a decent quality one? Need to find one because some games have barely audible volume even at max x__x (though playing Theatrhythm max volume is blowing my speakers, I think... haish)

I see, I see! How are they on size though? My ears are pretty small, so earbuds usually fall out of my ears after about 3 minutes... haish. I was going to use my cans but seem to have misplaced them Woe~ Want to hear FE battle quotes for realz~ Frederick's "Pick a God and pray."

Theatrhythm too Man with the Machine Gun remains one of my fave FF songs

Walau... my purse will have 10-year drought if buy that haha... most expensive cans I ever bought were my Audio-Technica ATH-ES7... even that was a birthday treat for myself... haha.

Mostly looking for small over-ears or in-ears headphones. Grados any good? How about Altec-Lansing? Don't mind paying a bit extra since I might use it for other things as well.

Priority is for 3DS use though. I think Nintendo cares for my ears too much. Can barely hear my Theatrhythm in the class during break at max volume.

Yeah, Altec Lansing speakers are amazing, my desktop speakers are of that brand So their phones are not that good huh? Not too sure about budget.. impulse buyer here, and I can save up. Not in a hurry to buy though, just wanna get opinion first. I saw some people using only generic earphones with 3DS... if terdesak I'll get a generic one meself Blasphemy I know...

I'm liking the Shure, I think I'll give that a try Thanks for the input, need to start saving!

Yeah, my cousin uses the bigger over-ear Razer headphones and swears by them, so I'm going to consider this as well. Thanks for the input~

Maybe wait a bit till the end of the year when the more popular games are out? (Animal Crossing, Pokemon X/Y) If even they don't pick up your interest then maybe put off buying an XL

Sifus, I have a problem.

So recently I bought a 3DS games bundle with my Pikachu 3DS XL from the US. (Please, if you're going to berate me on buying stuff from overseas when I could get it from qisahn or whatever... let's just say, "things happened" )

The price aside, the seller claimed that all games are "brand new factory sealed 3ds titles" (exact quote).

When the bundle arrived today, I found that one game is sealed differently from the rest:



(It's the Scribblenauts copy at the top of the stack)

With flash:



I'm pretty sure the Scribblenauts is re-sealed. Don't you think?

The seller did not mention ANYWHERE on the listing that ANY of the games were re-sealed. His pictures also showed the games in face view, none from the side. And seeing that the rest of the games were Y-sealed, why should a brand new Scribblenaut copy be sealed in a different way?

He also hasn't replied to any of my messages regarding shipping and feedback.

I should raise the issue with him first, then if that is a no-go, report the case to eBay right?

But want to confirm with sifus here first, the game DOES look re-sealed, right?

Exactly, NONE of my 'brand new' games, on 3DS or otherwise, have ever been sealed this way, other than the huge collector's editions. I'm getting veeery suspicious here.


Already sent him a message on eBay. If he doesn't reply by Friday, I will go to eBay CS immediately

Yeah, I'm not opening any of the games or my Pikachu 3DS until I get a clear reply from him. I'll miss out on the game redeem promotion on Club Nintendo though, if I don't get to use my Luigi's Mansion code and the new 3DS code.

I see, were they very messily sealed like this copy? There are hard edges everywhere in the wrapping, vastly different from my other 3DS games.

Seller just replied, funny how when I state that I will make a complaint he replies immediately.

"I have more than gone out if my way to make this transaction as smooth as possible. All games were purchased brand new from bestbuy never were any items opened or resealed. As I do not own a 3ds I have no need to open any games or purchase used games."

I browsed some YouTube unboxing vids of this game and none of them have this kind of wrapping. I also scrutinized the cover - the font for the phrase that says "Playable in 2D or 3D etc" is in Verdana, where all other copies of my 3DS games have a different, thinner font.

However, I just slowly went over a high-definition unboxing video to compare, and it seems as though the YT user's copy also has Verdana font. So I guess it's not a forgery?

Kyoyagami, on your advice, do you think I should accept the item as "factory sealed" even though it's differently wrapped?

So new copies of MH3U also had this wonky, hard, jagged seal? I'm just weirded out because copies of the game on YT videos and other copies of the game selling on eBay seem to have a Y-seal. Why is mine so weird-looking? Just scared since I heard it's common practice for gameshops in America to reseal used games with blow dryers and such. Gamestop does it.

I asked the seller if he could provide proof of purchase from BestBuy since he got it from there, so if that's all clear I'll leave him positive feedback and be on my way.
