Video Games

Well that’s an amazing amount of information.

No I’ve been leaving the lid open and on whilst it’s been downloading. Didn’t know if it worked if you interrupted it.

Never heard of most of those. Got a 128GB card coming in the post tomorrow so I’ll just get them all!

Playing Phoenix Wright Spirit Of Justice atm. I love how bonkers it is and I like the mechanics of the game too.

Yeah I just queued up everything and shut it and left for an afternoon

Just a heads up on using a big SD card it makes start up quite slow. I have a 64GB in there and takes maybe like 30secs to first power on but once its on there’s no slowdown or anything.

Also recommend getting a telescopic stylus off eBay as the stock ones tiny and annoying to use

Enjoy!

How many games can you get on there with 64GB? (Roughly?)

Maybe 128 is overkill?..

I’ve got maybe like 40 odd on there, not sure how much space is left. It’s hard to say really as the file sizes vary quite a lot. Like one of the Virtual Console Game Boy games can be a couple MB whilst the bigger 3DS games can be 1-4 GB.

I’d just stick with 128GB you won’t have to worry about running out of space

Nice one! Might hit you up down the road about emulation but that’s for another time. Need to go through the 3DS catalogue first.

Yeah some gems in there, touch screen/ 2 screen factor also means a lot of these will likely never get a re-release/ remaster

As for emulation I gave it a try for DS and GBA and both took so long to load up a game that I gave up and didn’t really bother with it. Especially since I have the SNES/MD apps on my Switch and a hacked PSP

Interrupting to say that TOTK has exceeded all expectations. At first I was worried it wouldn’t be as good as BOTW but it’s amazing. There’s so much stuff to do and find and the building stuff is as good as you want it to be depending on your creativity.

I didn’t update latest software and found a duplicate item glitch which has actually made it more fun as I can build stuff.

Will dick about and then play it properly without cheesing.

I don’t have a 3DS, but yeah, this is not a 3DS issue. It’s just tech which wasn’t built for these huge cards.
I have a Sony Walkman and I tried to stick a 512gb card in there and it just couldn’t cope. It’d take 10 mins to boot.

I found it was better to have a few 64gb cards and use them like an old Walkman. Just choose that one card to take out for the day…and then on trips I’d take the lot just in case I really, really needed to access that random other stuff.

It’s definitely a technique you could use for video games, too.

I wouldn’t stress it, did some research when I was setting mine up the consensus on Reddit was anything up to and including 128GB is fine, I just happened to have a 64GB sitting around the house already. As I said the start up is a little slow but no issues once its on, switching games and everything is effortless

Can’t be hammering it enough as the 16GB card in my 2DS is only half full.

I know people seem to play RPGs and more puzzle/thinking type games but does anyone play Darktide?

Been waiting a year since it dropped on the PC for it to come out on Xbox and now it has it’s glorious!

Melee type FPS.

It works! Good lord.

I can download 1/3rd of the entire games section of the H shop!

I have almost no idea what the fuck is going on but I can’t turn it off either.

I haven’t watched a second of this but I know it’s going to be quality.

Right.

I can’t tell if I think that was beautiful and charming or absolute dogshit! It’s not a game. Never seen anything like it.

Yeah it’s definitely an experience, I found it beautiful and charming personally. It’s basically a bite sized version of the series that the developer Millennium Kitchen are known for: Boku no Natsuyasumi (My Summer Vacation in Japanese) which have never been properly translated into English, though number 2 in the series just got a fan translation.

Not sure if you’re familiar with Tim Rogers but he has an incredible, beautiful 6 hour YouTube essay on the game:
