It's within the eShop. There are some options within the eShop, and one of them, somewhere, will take you to a list of everything you've ever downloaded, both free and purchased. (I still have a bunch of E3 201X videos I made the mistake of downloading, forever on my download list.) Anyway, your missing software will be on that list.
Yeah I'm really disappointed with the auto brightness! I thought it would work like it does on my iPad and iPhone. It doesn't. Sometimes nothing will have changed and it'll get dark. Then it gets light again. Part of the problem is it only has five increments and nothing in between. Why can't they change it to a slider instead? The other part of the problem is that it's either too sensitive or not sensitive enough. I have a feeling it's going to confuse a lot of people who don't even know it's on. It works most of the time, but when it doesn't, it's sort of silly.
Yeah the 3D will kill the battery life. I still haven't gotten my new system from Best Buy yet, I am hoping to see it when it get home from work this evening. I played with one at Best Buy the other day though and was impressed by the new 3D, it does work much better than before and I can already see my battery life dropping because of it, but no worries. I don't mind staying plugged in while I play sometimes.
I'm weird about my batteries on devices. I typically don't let it drain below 30%, and I never charge it past 80%. This is all in the name of preserving the life of the battery. But when it comes to Nintendo products, the batteries are really easily replaceable, so I'm not sure why I even care. I should just do what I want, even if that means leaving it plugged in when I'm not playing (and even when I am playing if I want).
No, I think it's the same battery. If it's higher capacity, it's not doing much!
My black N3DS just shipped as well. Looks like another day of waiting. I wish I could have gotten in-store pick up.
I know! Mine arrived today, so I will have it when I get home from work in a few hours. My major concern now is that I want to get down on some MH4U when I get home on my new system. I am debating on transferring all of my current 3DS over or just the data. From what I understand a full transfer could take hours. Most of my games are smaller VC and eShop releases, but I have Lugi's Mansion and Mario Kart 7 on my SD Card currently as well. I could handle a couple of hours of waiting and get in some more time with Dying Light, but I don't want to miss out on being able to play the new system tonight if it's transferring for several hours.
It should only take an hour or so.
No worries, I have less than 4GB on my current 3DS, but I am putting a 32 GB micro SD in my New 3DS. The majority of my games are physical, so I am mostly concerned with just getting the games I have downloaded along with all my save data and licenses to transfer in around an hour tops. I really would hate to have to wait for longer than an hour or two. I think my laptop has both standard and micro SD ports though, I'll keep everyone posted on what I end up doing and hopefully it is a quick and relatively painless process.
I think you're right...maybe...
Nintendo is usually excellent in the customer service department. That whole transfer process is a mess, I did the wireless between systems and it took roughly 2 hours to complete for me, but everything went over to the new system without a problem. I set my old 3DS up for my girlfriend to use.
The question is not 'IF' but 'WHEN'. Of course Nintendo will release another limited edition new 3DS; it's only a matter of time.
If they made a Xenoblade edition I would be super angry. Although the MH4 console is very nice. There will be more limited editions, there were with the regular XL model.
