The unlock system for Crosswords Plus seems to be solely based on playing it on new days, as I unlocked a Word of the Day puzzle mode on my second day with the game and then Word Search on the third day. That's kind of crazy to have it unlock that way without a hint of how that works, but at least I have the mode that I'll burn through right away while slowly working through the crossword puzzles.

oh hai nintendo said there'd be miiverse on 3ds

dint say when

Just got the Mario kart 3ds xl bundle. Any good downloadable games y'all recommend? Thanks.

Pushmo is a must. I haven't played Crashmo yet, but I imagine that is probably a must as well.

It's old and not as good as Picross DS or Picross 3D, but Mario's Picross is worth what it costs ($2 or $3). I'm still hoping for Picross E to show up on the US eShop.

Mighty Switch Force (pretty short, but it's fun and I love the 3D effect 2D sprites have on the system)

If you like RPGs, I highly recommend The Denpa Men. It's more dungeon crawler than epic adventure, but I'm addicted to searching for new Denpa Men over WiFi signals when I travel for work.

Cave Story is also really really good, if you don't already have one of the 50 other versions floating around out there.

Art of Balance Touch is also a pretty enjoyable puzzle game from what little I've played so far.

Crashmo is just as good if not better.

Seriously, wtf is up with that. Is it still not up? (haven't checked in a while). Picked up Picross 3D again and would def be in for more Picross goodness. There are a few apps for iPhone but they're just not as good (the controls are nowhere near as refined).

To make it worse, Europe got Picross e2 this week while we can't even get the first one.

I just picked up Paper Mario despite all the negativity... I'm sure it will be at least OK. That makes 5 retail games already for me + Pushmo. I'm planning on getting Luigi's Mansion in March too. The system is definitely picking up steam...

I picked it up as well. It is pretty awesome.

Thanks for all the people for your recommendations!

Marvel Pinball 3D and Zen pinball are good. Double Dragon (VC) is great despite being b+w

Pretty bummed the 30th anniversary sale on the WiiU isn't on the 3DS as well. One more reason it's totally absurd to not have a unified network and cross platform compatibility for VC games.

I heard rune factory 4 is coming to the USA via XSeed

Also I have another question, is it normal for the regular 3DS to take this long to charge. I plugged mine in at literately 10:20 this morning and it did not shut off until about 1:40pm, this is with only one bar of life gone (the other 3 bars were present, I think there are 4 bars.) I am finding charging times for this system to be abnormally long. Heck I think this system takes longer to charge than my iPad 2, which only takes this long to charge if its well depleted. However the 3DS with only 1 bar depleted takes several hours to charge. Really not an issue with me because I play at home thus I can plug my system in any time but these long charging times are really unacceptable in today's world especially when the battery lasts so little on the 3DS. I don't even play with the 3D on and I play mostly regular DS games, so I should be getting longer battery life than someone who played with the 3D on and played 3DS games but its still absolutely terrible.

However, the BEST thing about the 3DS is NO HEALTH AND SAFETY SCREEN at startup! I cannot stress how good of a feature this is, as its extremely annoying to see that screen every time you boot up a handheld system, so this is quite awesome.

That is definitely not normal. I don't think it takes that long to charge my 3DS when it is completely dead. Does this happen regardless of where you charge it? And do you have more than one cable to test with?

Does the normal Nintendo-branded DSi charger work with the 3DS XL? My fiance misplaced my charger, and now I can't seem to find anything locally aside from a Nintendo-branded DSi charger.

This is the one I'm referencing.

They're the same charger, so you're fine.

Thanks.

Fire Emblem is now up on the eshop.

Yeah, I am so tempted to download it, but what is really putting me off of it is not only the fact that I am still a physical person, but because Nintendo does not have a universal download system, like tied to your account. If I break my 3DS or something happens to it, I want to easily retrieve my games.

I pre-ordered on Amazon and it sucks that there aren't any stores in the world that has the physical copy until the end of the week...I think it is because of Nintendo's Sunday releases and the fact that they can be putting off physical distribution to promote digital sales on it.

I guess I can keep playing the demo, which is awesome by the way! It sucks I can't make my own character, even if he will be erased when we close the demo, but it'd be nice to see all the customization options for your character.

This game blew my mind...the cutscenes, cinematics, and battles are just awesome! Great freaking job, Nintendo!

Lucked out and snagged a physical copy of FE from Target today.
