I guess this can be a physical/digital pros/cons debate, but I just put a $50 gift card on my 3DS and was going to go ahead and purchase X or Y (flipping a coin to choose, honestly) but all I don't see any option to actually buy anything in the eShop.
Are they not going to have it available for purchase until the actual release date? Or am I just missing something?

Do games go up midnight Japan time, or is it random?

I don't know when they put them up, but I can assure you it's not random.

Yeah, but he might want to play it immediately at midnight instead of having to wait for download and purchase time at midnight.

Yes. They will probably have it midnight release on October 11th.

OP here, and yeah I just wanted to go ahead and buy it so all I have to do is wait for it to download right when they put it on the eShop. (Not that clicking "Buy" and "Yeah, I'm sure dude, do this shit" a couple times will make it take that much longer.

Save up the money for Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies like everyone else. Buy physical copy instead.

Nintendo doesn't have their shit together with Online yet. I'd hold off on digital. Especially because you can transfer the save from a cartridge to the SD card

Can you elaborate on that at all?
I know most of the cons for Digital are always thrown around being that if you fuck up your 3DS/lose it, you lose your digital purchases with it. Is that (linking purchases with the system instead of an account, ala PSN) what you mean by them not having their shit together?

I really appreciate the insight, even though I already plan on using the gift card I have for X, and I'll get a physical version of Y sometime later (or just wait for Z or XY2
Pic sort of related, because it's the only Pokemon related image I've ever saved

You pretty much have it in your post. They don't have an account system, but its rumored to be in development along with Miiverse. But they released a transfer tool to move a Cartridge save onto your SD card.

Since they have a bad eShop, I plan to buy Physical. Now I can play from the cartridge like usual, but if their digital system ever got better you can switch to digital.

All you would have to do is buy the game on the eShop (full price) and then use the SD tool to move your physical save onto it. Except now the cartridge doesn't have the save. And you can sell it or whatever.

My grammar is so bad in this post.

Question. How big is the game? Because I have a 4GB SD card that came with my 3ds, and the only thing I have on there worth any value is the pokeradar, and possibly the settings, depending on whether or not that's what identifies the DS for online connections

Do you guys think we'll actually get a 3DS trailer before next month? Every time a new trailer comes up on the eShop, it pisses me off that it's just that tv/internet type ad where we see the 3DS screen borders

>>13711517
14,000 blocks per game, I think 4gb card that comes with the XL/or any 4gb sd card is around 35,000? I may be wrong on that though

30,000 and dream radar is 205, but it was pretty small, I think I might just buy a bigger one to be safe though, is there a way to (legally) transfer stuff from the old one to the new one

Considering a 16gb SD card is only $20 on Amazon, ya not a bad idea. Not sure about how to transfer your stuff though. I imagine just formatting it in the 3DS, then copy and pasting on a computer would be fine though

Copy/Save it onto your Computer. Then put it onto a new one.

Not hard at all

They probably won't release a trailer specifically for the 3DS if they haven't already. We're just over a month's wait now.
