Nintendo Gaming / International Multiplayer

« on: September 08, 2012, 02:45:17 PM »

So with the 3DS being region locked I have a question.   A friend of mine recently asked about getting a 3ds.  We were both curious as to what the current situation is with international multiplayer  Given that I am from the United States, and they are from Germany.

Now I know in MarioKart 7, I see people occasionally from Japan and such.   Yet I can't remember seeing anyone from Europe.   So does anyone know what the current situation is with titles and international play?  Is it on a per title basis?  Is there perhaps a list of titles that actually support play between US and European versions?

Was really having a hard time finding information on this subject.  When most of my searches just turned up things about region locking and such. I'm mainly curious about the compatibility between European versions of games and american versions in multiplayer.   Especially first party. 

I'm guessing there isn't going to be a simple flat answer for this, even though I really wish there was.   Yet I thought I would ask here given the people here.  I thought maybe someone might know more or know of a wiki/list that keeps track of such things.

Nintendo Gaming / Animal Crossing 3ds and DLC

So screwattack is reporting that Animal Crossing 3ds Will be supported post launch with DLC

www.screwattack.com/news/japan-animal-crossing-3ds-will-receive-dlc-down-line

Which I guess originates with this page now with google translate.

With this news  (If it is true.) I am kinda curious of what most peoples opinions are.

Personally as long as the content is decent and the price isn't outlandish  I can't think of a game more suited to occasional DLC content than Animal Crossing.  So I am okay as long as the content is good.  How does everyone else feel?

Nintendo Gaming / 3ds scratching itself

« on: May 15, 2011, 08:25:08 AM »

I saw this at neogaf. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=430287

Checked my own 3ds and found it to be true.   The rise around the bottom screen is slowly rubbing against the top screen when closed.  Forming small scratches.  Needless to say after I noticed it on my own 3ds, I quickly installed some screen protectors to help prevent any further scratching.

Saw some pictures and heard accounts of others on that thread also experiencing it.  Saw it on my own 3ds.  So I thought I would post it here to give a heads up to anyone else.  I know something like this, if happening on my unit, I would want to know ahead of time to try and prevent any further damage.
