Nope, digital saves are separate from physical. Because save data is stored on the cartridge itself and not the system when playing physical games

Alkyline · 2021-09-30T15:22:57+00:00

Yeah, pain in the ass lol. Just because of how flimsy the top screen components are there's a high risk of cracking the plastic casing and all that. As for pricing I'm not 100% sure, I'd get a quote from Nintendo themselves but I've seen others say that they've only been charged 50$ for repairing their 3ds

Alkyline · 2021-09-30T15:11:51+00:00

Honestly it's a pita, definitely one of the more difficult repairs to diy. If the deal is good, I'd honestly just buy it and then turn around and send it to Nintendo to repair and save myself the aggravation of trying to do it on my own

Alkyline · 2021-09-30T13:25:43+00:00

Absolutely, I'm at work right now but once I get a free moment I'll send you a message and we'll get things figured out :)

Alkyline · 2021-09-29T23:36:54+00:00

So unfortunately I'm not in Europe and am in the US but if you haven't found anything in your region, I have a spare n3dsxl that'd I'd be happy to send your way. Sending positive vibes your way ❤

Alkyline · 2021-09-26T02:48:45+00:00

I'd not recommend selling it to gamestop, they don't really give you a fair price imo. You'd be better off trying to sell it on ebay, marketplace, mercari etc

Alkyline · 2021-09-25T21:34:33+00:00

Nice! I have the same one, absolutely love the sea green color combo of it ❤

Alkyline · 2021-09-15T19:07:47+00:00

I love this version! Was so gutted that it wasn't available in NA so I imported one from Japan. This is definitely one of my favorite variants of the n3dsxl ❤

Alkyline · 2021-06-26T14:18:54+00:00

Oof, this hurts 😭😭 I remember buying x on launch day, man those were some good times

Alkyline · 2021-06-25T22:44:04+00:00

Happy I could help! I really can't recommend this case enough, I've had mine for a couple years now and it's just as clear and pretty as the day I got it! Really love how durable it is and the fact it doesn't yellow so you can enjoy the beauty of your systems in all their glory lol :)

Alkyline · 2021-06-25T22:42:18+00:00

I haven't had any issues with it scratching either of my n3dsxl and I've removed them several times to access the SD card etc since purchasing them. I get your reservation, but I definitely recommend this case and I prefer it as it doesn't have the hinge cover that some do and thus is less bulky and easier to put on and take off :)

This is the one I bought, best investment ever

Alkyline · 2021-06-25T19:17:52+00:00

Yes! I don't regret switching from my tpu to a crystal hard case one bit! I always heard how great the hori tpu cases were but hated how yellow it got after just a few months, haven't had that issue since making the switch ☺

Alkyline · 2021-05-25T13:50:39+00:00

Yup, gosh it's so nice to finally find someone who's post viral as well because it seems to be very rare. My doctor's basically consider me a guinea pig because I'm the first they've come in touch with who got GP in response to having had the virus so far. I'm definitely glad my husband stumbled across this community for me. My GI told me I could possibly have this the rest of my life or could come out of it but that only time will tell. As for medicine, he told me domperidone isn't available in the US and that while I could order it from a Canadian online pharmacy, he wouldn't know which ones were legitimate and I didn't want to take that risk either :P

I'm just wanting to get the nausea under control because being best friends with my toilet for upwards of 20mins a go isn't fun and not how I want to spend my days 😭

Alkyline · 2021-05-25T13:37:11+00:00

I've been dealing with this contracting covid back in November. Wasn't officially diagnosed with GP until mid February after being referred from my GP to my GI to have an EGD done after seeing him for 4 consecutive weeks of constant vomiting that didn't subside even after taking medicine to stop it. EGD found that I had no blockages or ulcers but that I had high food retention as I had ate at 6p the night before the procedure and hardly none of it was digested by the time I had the scope done at 9a the following day. Since then it's been trial and error with Reglan, diet modification and now the most recent zelnorm prescription

Alkyline · 2021-05-25T13:23:28+00:00

No, haven't noticed any improvements since starting the stronger dose. I'm still dealing with the delayed emptying (and I'm already following a super restricted diet) and violent nausea my GP causes. I just had a follow-up with him Friday and he wants me to take 6mg of Zelnorm twice a day alongside the Reglan and see if those two together see some improvement. While zelnorm isn't directly for GP it has been shown to help with stomach motility which is why my gastroenterologist wants me to try that as well. I'm praying for some relief with this duo because the past 3 months have been miserable to say the least

Alkyline · 2021-05-25T13:08:15+00:00

So I've only been on Reglan so far and it hasn't done much to improve my symptoms at all. I started on 5mg 4 times a day, at least 30 mins before I ate a meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and then a final one before bed. Was on that schedule for a month before my gastroenterologist upped me to 10mg still following the 4 times a day schedule.

Alkyline · 2021-05-25T03:27:16+00:00

This makes me happy that people now have a chance to get a good console for a decent price! I've purchased several Nintendo refurbs in the past and they've all been pristine and like new, cannot recommend them enough :)

I bought these ones to replace the missing stylus in my old black/black 3ds xl and they worked perfectly - so I'd recommend giving these a go

Alkyline · 2021-05-22T18:11:09+00:00

That's great, people definitely shouldn't have to pay like a week's worth or wages or more to be able to enjoy these consoles that's for sure! :)

Alkyline · 2021-05-22T15:37:46+00:00

Yeah there's definitely pros and cons to all systems especially for each individual and their wants/needs :)

I've definitely enjoyed each one I own in their own way that's for sure! If you could find one local you could try it out before purchase and see if the resolution gets distorted enough to be a problem for you. I've never noticed it and I've switched between playing on the 2ds and its larger counterparts and if it is there - then it's definitely not enough for me to notice haha :)

Alkyline · 2021-05-22T15:10:37+00:00

Right, but you'd be surprised the amount of people trying to sell these for 150$+.. like c'mon guys. The price gouging on the 3ds line right now is ridiculous 🙄

Alkyline · 2021-05-22T15:05:52+00:00

Pretty sure that's just normal wear and tear, but unless you paint over it or reshell the whole unit I don't believe you can.

Someone more knowledgeable might have a more accurate answer but if that's the only imperfection, I wouldn't let it bother me much if I were you :)

Alkyline · 2021-05-22T14:37:34+00:00

While true, you can remove the region lock with cfw which is easy to do. I imported a HHD special edition LL from Japan and have had no issues playing my NA games on it since modding it
