I'll be periodically Wonder Trading away a collection of Shiny competitive ready Pokémon on the generation 6 and 7 games for the Nintendo 3DS. The online services for the system are going to be shut down on April 8th, so there's no time like the present!
If you're looking for anything specific, I might be able to hook you up. Long live the 3DS!
Made a rambly 30+ minute video with shaky webcam footage documenting my final moments of 3DS online tonight.
It's currently published on YouTube, trying to setup a PeerTube account so maybe I can post more stuff like this on the fediverse in the future. I'll link that in a reply if and when it happens.
Będę chciał się pozbyć 3DS i całego kompletu gier do tej konsoli. Ktoś może zainteresowany? Jeszcze nie robiłem inwentaryzacji, ale trochę tego nazbierałem. #giereczkowo#nintendo3ds
Played a lot of Kirby Triple Deluxe. It's a very strong entry with some very varied leveldesign, neat little puzzles and challenging bossfights. Collectibles can be well hidden, so I missed a couple. That makes returning to the game later on more interesting though.
I'm not a completionist by any measure, but giving me a good reason to revisit a stage is always a good thing in my book.
I'll probably finish this one for my 30 days of 3DS challenge!
Day 3 of my 30 days of 3DS challenge: Space Invaders Extreme is very fun. Also crushingly difficult, completely nuking me in stage 4. I doubt I'll give that one another go.
Kirby Mouse Attack is quite fun though. Might play that one more.
I have begun to take my 3DS with me for my walks. Not just to collect playcoins but also in the hope of maybe, just maybe getting a streetpass. Chances are slim, granted. Very few people these days still use their 3DSes... and even less people put the wifi on. However, I am missing a single puzzle piece and I really want to get that one!
News / StreetPass: Modders have gotten StreetPass to go online!
If you're a #Nintendo3DS owner, you might be pleased to hear that modders have made an online version of #StreetPass called NetPass, which allows you to StreetPass users on your 3DS.
It's great if you're struggling to find people, although I have thankfully had some StreetPasses with 3 people in the last year, 2 of which gave me Animal Crossing New Leaf data!
News / Nintendo Network Shutdown: Online services for the Wii U and 3DS has shut down
The time is up for online services for the #WiiU and #3DS consoles.
It is now April 9th at 1am BST, which means online services for both consoles are no longer available. This means you will be no longer able to splat anymore squids, challenge anyone to a Mario Kart race or even try to show off your bowling skills on official Nintendo servers on the #NintendoWiiU or #Nintendo3DS consoles.
To continue playing online services on both consoles, you will need to mod your consoles. Guides to do that are available on https://wiiu.hacks.guide and https://3ds.hacks.guide. After that, install @pretendo and follow the brilliant guides for installation for Wii U or 3DS. They cover everything you need to know about modding your console and getting Pretendo set up (I've helped add some commits to the Pretendo guide to make it easier to get started).
#Pensando ancora (fin troppo) alle #fotocamere dei #NintendoDS, non posso fare altro che riconoscere quel pattern, secondo molti moderno ma che in realtà appunto va indietro anche di tutti questi anni, per cui #Nintendo deve per forza introdurre un peggioramento nei suoi prodotti dopo aver introdotto un qualche miglioramento… 🐞
A livello hardware non ci sono strani #particolari: le #camere hanno la stessa risoluzione (640×480, #VGA praticamente), ma quelle del 3DS dovrebbero essere più accurate; e la risoluzione dei display delle due #console è rispettivamente 256×192, e 400×240 / 320×240, quindi meglio sul #Nintendo3DS. Però il #software…
Sul #DSi, tutte le foto sono gestite e salvate nella loro risoluzione massima e sempre in 4:3. E la fotocamera offre #funzioni fighissime, alcune oggi mainstream ma all’epoca avveniristiche (come i filtri facciali che oggi sarebbero definiti “di Snapchat”), ed altre che giuro di non trovare su nessuna #app fotografica #mobile, solo su apparecchi professionali (ad esempio, la composizione live, cioè la sovrapposizione di immagini opportunamente scontornate non solo in post-produzione, ma direttamente sull’anteprima di #scatto). ✨
Il 3DS fa le #foto in 3D, molto figo, e può registrare video, ma… un sacco di quelle funzioni fighe mancano, ci sono giusto pochi filtri visivi banali, e una funzione di graffiti (equiparabile all’editor per smartphone predefinito medio) solo in post-produzione, non anche live. Niente compositing, niente roba. In compenso, la regolazione dei livelli è presente, al contrario della #fotocamera non-pro media per smartphone (GCam Lite merda), c’è l’autoscatto, e lo zoom. Però lo zoom è un po’ di pessimo gusto, perché già di base l’immagine appare fin troppo zoommata… perché? Perché, a quanto pare, l’anteprima è tagliata, perché su uno schermo 16:10 non ci entra il framebuffer della #camera 4:3 senza bordi neri. Però le foto sono salvate comunque alla massima risoluzione, e l’album permette di passare dalla visualizzazione scalata a quella intera con lo stick. Però, se si va in modalità graffiti, si può operare solo su quella porzione tagliata dell’immagine, che dopo le modifiche sarà salvata… per qualche motivo, in 640×320, che è 18:9, quindi tagliata sempre molto sopra e sotto ma ancora non alla scala nativa. Le uniche #immagini perfettamente scalate al display sono le schermate dei giochi o del menu home, e qui direi che è il minimo. 🔪
Insomma, dati questi #dettagli, non è scontato dire quale delle due app di #fotografia è migliore, e probabilmente una conviene più dell’altra solo a seconda delle situazioni. Per fortuna, su un #3DS moddato si possono avere entrambe, e infatti io me la gioco così. 📸
One great plus of the 30 days of 3DS challenge has been that I get to know so many more awesome people here! It's a lot of fun to talk and discuss with you all!
Hey everyone, by some stroke of luck the Spotpass servers for the Wii U and 3DS were not yet shutdown so it is still possible to obtain and submit archives.
If you have a Wii U or 3DS I highly encourage you to follow the guide on this site to submit dumps.
Even if you don't please spread the word so we can get as many dumps as possible and save as much content as we can (boosts are very helpful and much appreciated).
I finished Kirby Triple Deluxe! It's a great Kirby game and one of the best platformers for the system. Got to 57% completion, so there would be enough to discover, but I think I'll switch to a different game now. Over half of the 30 days of 3DS challenge is now done!
News / Pretendo Network: You can now StreetPass your 3DS friends from anywhere in the world!
Have you had trouble finding anyone to #StreetPass for Happy Home Showcase in New Leaf?
If you have, the team at @pretendo have just made it easier! With the latest version of Nimbus (which allows you to connect to the network), you're now able to StreetPass people online from anywhere in the world!
However, it's not that simple. Due to the buggy implementation of StreetPass for some games, you'll only be able to StreetPass people you've friended on your console (well that's 0 for me). It makes use of a feature called StreetPass Relay which was used at Nintendo Zones which allowed you to upload your data and download others.
I think I'll just stick to real StreetPasses for now though (I got 3 in the last year). Anyone reading from the South West or West Midlands?
