So recommend me some must haves please.

Correct.

How hard are the download puzzles on Miracle Mask? Nearly missed my stop on the bus this morning trying to figure one out.

[GokouD]

Ugh, I was playing cave story on the train and some philistine asked me to turn it down! It's like the Mozart of chip tunes!

Just noticed that the 2GB SD card that came with my 3DS is pretty nearly full, thanks to Mario Golf. Is the limit 32 GB at the moment? And what do people use? I presume this one would be fine

The limit is 128GB. I've this 64GB one: http://www.mymemory.co.uk/SDXC/Lexar/Lexar-Premium-64GB-Class-10-200x-30MB_s-High-Speed-SDXC-Memory-Card-

You need to format it specially if it's SDXC rather than SD/SDHC, but it's easy:

Cheers! I'm on a Mac, so the formatting should be easy enough using disk utility.

Find myself preferring downloaded software these days rather than physical cards, so this is perfect.

I'm on a Mac too but the guide was for Windows users as they make up about 99% of the people who follow my guide

[Vorgot]

Now to my next question then. Do games tend to get discounted much, or is it more buy x get y free stuff on there? Not paid much attention in recent months

Nothing there takes my fancy except Gravity Badgers.

Is NSMB 2 worth getting then? Been a-debatin'...

[Not Thread Owner]

Yes. It's excellent.

[Shimmyhill]

Hmm, its a pretty average mario game - still better than almost all other non mario platformers but it's nothing special IMO.

I really liked the first one, love the wii u one but can't get too excited about 2 or the wii one!

[routeburn]

I was wondering about this a few weeks ago when it dropped to US$29 on the eShop. I picked it up and have done a couple of worlds, and it's really good fun. It's a slightly different NSMB in that it's a bit more "coin obsessed", and I think this makes a refreshing change. It's good fun.

[Jolly]

It's actually my favourite from the 'New' series, although most seem to prefer the Wii and Wii U versions.

[Let us measure]

Hmm, you've almost got me convinced boys. Just one more question - I've got a severe craving for some Mazza. NSMB2 or Yoshi's New Island to scratch the itch, do you reckon?

[Not Thread Owner]

NSMB2.

[NEG]

Mario 3D Land

[deerokus]

NSMB 2 is below average, boring until the last 15 minutes and certainly the worst Mario platform game I've ever played. Get 3D Land instead.

[Not Thread Owner]

You mean get 3D Land *as well*.

The rest of your post was just nonsense though

[Halo]

Can't we all just agree that Super Mario 3D Land is the best?

[Not Thread Owner]

I can't, sorry.

[Halo]

Heathen. It's amazing.

And that's from someone who didn't even like the Galaxy games that much.

[Not Thread Owner]

It is amazing. But I liked NSMB2 more.

I liked NSMBU more than 3D World as well, FWIW.

[Let us measure]

I got 3D Land with the 3DS and loved it. You know when you just get a craving for some more Mazza, but don't know precisely which Mazza will most satisfy? So, as was common in days of yore, I left my fate in the hands of the much-revered deKay-o-meter game.

I managed to reach 'Acebest', which means I shall buy NSMB2.

Thank you, deKay-o-meter game.

EDIT: Dammit! Just got a score of 'Super Acebest' (which, quite bizarrely, doesn't seem to be on the scale of the deKay-o-meter), which means I have to go with Yoshi's New Island.

[Not Thread Owner]

The deKay-o-meter doesn't show all subdivisions due to space, sorry.

Various HMVs around the country are selling new 3ds and xl for £99.
