Title: My 3DS Broke!
Post by: pokeplayer984 on August 30, 2013, 12:15:43 AM
I don't know how it happened, but my 3DS shorted out during lunch at work today.  I am unable to fix the problem.  As such, I had to get a new one.  I now have a 3DS XL.  It cost me $200, but I'm sure it'll be worth it. :)

Still, this means I have to go through the trouble of re-buying a few games.  Darn!  Why did this have to happen? :(

Well, hopefully things will go well for me in the next few days.  See ya later! :wave

I hope that does well for you.  Good luck with it working for a long time.  If it happens again you can consider getting a 2ds, coming out later this year I read.

Whaaat? Do you really have to buy games AGAIN if your 3ds breaks? Aren't those tied to your account in any way? That's pure rip-off. I haven't bought anything via the Nintendo store yet, but this really makes me not want to buy anything there :p

I've also got a 3DS XL, it's definitely worth the bigger screen. When I get my old DS lite in my hands, I'm always whining about the small screen, haha. BTW Can I have your friendcode? I'm assuming you're getting X & Y as well when they come out.. ;)

It was actually my own fault on that account.  For one thing, I did not tie the data to any sort of online account with Nintendo, nor did I back it up on my SD card.  It was all tied to the system without enabling some sort of back up for it.  As such, I've lost any games I downloaded.  I still have many games that are of physical copies, and can continue playing where I left off on those.  So yeah, I've lost all of my downloaded games due to me not backing it up.

As for my Friend Code, I have yet to connect to the internet with my new system.  I am currently having trouble with connecting for some reason.

I will keep trying, but if problems persist, I won't be able to reveal it until Sunday when I connect to the router at my parents house.

So please, be patient with me on this one, okay? :)

That's all for now!  See ya! :wave

Hope you are having lots of fun with your new 3ds Xl.  How are you liking the larger screens they have?

Sure, no need to hurry there!

Ah okay, so I assume there are actually options to do so... Hope you haven't lost too much financially on those games.
