Re: Nintendo 3DS

I finally decided to get one. I'm getting the Fire Emblem special edition, in about 1-2 weeks. I just wish the game was a physical copy bundled with the console, and not a digital copy preinstalled in the console.

BTW, anyone know how much 3DS XL chargers go for in Europe? Are there any good non-Nintendo platformers on the system? Is Shinobi any good?

As I wrote in another thread:

Shinobi (3DS) - "8-bit Ninja Gaiden" + "16-bit Shinobi" + modern, 3D graphics = AWESOME GAME!!!

If you have a DS charger, that would work. Does the system you're getting not come with a charger for some reason?

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate is a good title. Not exactly a platformer, but...fun! I've also heard that Gunman Clive is good.

The 3DS XL doesn't come with a charger. .....yeah, Nintendo found some really funny ways to cut costs. I guess they expect us to be happy we only have to pay one time for "batteries".

I don't think a DS Lite charger fits a 3DS

Shinobi sounds pretty cool. I'll check it out

I thought I remembered it not coming with a charger in Japan. Didn't know it was Europe too. Here in the US the 3DS XL comes with a charger. We've got it good! Now if only we'd get that SMTIV 3DS XL.

Not coming with a charger is just ridiculous. Imagine if laptops, phones, etc. didn't come with chargers/power cables.

But on the bright side, at least you got the Fire Emblem 3DS XL over there. We only got the crummy regular 3DS for Fire Emblem.

Look at the gorgeous (electric blue with beautiful art on the corners) special edition, Japan got

Though it's the original 3DS which has a battery life which sucks, so I wouldn't buy that one even if it was released in Europe

EDIT The color is actually called cobalt blue, but we call that blue electric here so :P

I'm using a charger from a DS XL and it works just fine, not sure about a DS Lite.

Not a platformer? Did you play the same game I did?
