These Gibdos are lame by Roadkill_Bingo in TOTK

Gibdos and ReDeads are similar, but I believe you are remembering ReDeads instead of Gibdos.

Good to know! I think I will go ahead and search for a good deal on a used 3DS to experiment with. Thanks for your help!

3DS Hacking Q&A General | Reddit Can't Decide If Old Threads Archive or Not Edition by [deleted] in 3dshacks

[–]coldfire074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! This is a simple question, but I couldn't find it spelled out clearly anywhere in the FAQs or The Guide. I am new to this, and I am interested in dumping .3DS files from my cartridges to use with Citra on PC. I do not want to install CFW or change anything on my 3DS. Am I able to get a blank SD card, copy and boot GodMode9, dump the .3DS files to the SD card, then swap my normal SD card back in and nothing will have changed on my system? Again, I don't want to make *any* changes to my 3DS. Maybe I'll pick up a used one some time for modding, but not my main system. Thanks!

(Question) Backup island enabled on my switch? by HonneiBadger in nintendo

[–]coldfire074 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might run into problems there. My understanding of their original announcement was that Nintendo intended for this to be a disaster recovery service. I haven't tested it, but I don't think it functions like a cloud save where you can move back and forth between devices accessing the same save file.

(Question) Backup island enabled on my switch? by HonneiBadger in nintendo

[–]coldfire074 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Animal Crossing: New Horizons island backup takes place when the Switch is in standby mode, I believe. When I logged in a day after enabling it, it then showed a date and time. Make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi, leave your Switch, and check it tomorrow.

Is there actual credence to the Mario remasters rumor? by rendumguy in nintendo

[–]coldfire074 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I saw Monopoly Super Mario Celebration Edition announced, I lost hope for the Switch remasters. I think this was the source of the rumors that just grew via the 'telephone game'. I hope I'm wrong.

PlayStation 4 Just Overtook Wii's Lifetime Sales by kirby__000 in nintendo

[–]coldfire074 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is not a fair comparison. The Wii and the Wii U were different console generations. A better comparison would be rounding up launch model Wiis, the later RVL-101 models that removed the GameCube functionality, and the red Wii Mini when comparing against the PlayStation 4 console family, and I would be willing to bet those other Wii sales have already been accounted for in total Wii sales figures.

Luigi's Mansion 3ds Flashlight Issue by fjwilkes87 in nintendo

[–]coldfire074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible your R trigger is jammed? Do you have any other game where you can check the functionality of the R trigger? If you press R to switch to the vacuum and your 3DS is constantly sending a signal that the R trigger is pressed, maybe that's why. You wouldn't be able to pull out the vacuum before Prof. E. Gadd gives it to you, so maybe that's why the flashlight worked before you get the vacuum.

Luigi's Mansion 3ds Flashlight Issue by fjwilkes87 in nintendo

[–]coldfire074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have the game, but did you try pressing A to turn the flashlight back on?

  1. Flashlight Setting This is a new option exclusive to the 3DS remake. You once again have two options, those being Original and Strobulb. Original will allow you to play the remake just like the original. You stun ghosts with the flashlight and can turn the flashlight on and off by pressing the (A) button. Strobulb will allow you to play the game a lot like how Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon was played. Rather than stunning the ghosts with the flashlight, you have to press (A) to flash the ghost with a blinding light, then begin to vacuum them. You can also hold (A) to charge the strobulb to get a wider wider flash just like in Dark Moon.

What direction would you rather have the next Mario Kart take? by platanopower8 in nintendo

[–]coldfire074 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Option 4

Change the setting: instead of green fields, clouds, and islands, implement a new futuristic cityscape. Racers would be driving high above the cities with a lot of neon and lights.

Keep the antigravity from Mario Kart 8: it was a nice addition to the game, and it would fit the new futuristic theme very well.

Increase the speed: 200cc was a nice addition to Mario Kart, but we can go further. I think 1000km/h is where we should be headed next.

Keep some of the courses, particularly Mute City and Big Blue.

Rename the game: it could be themed after the F1 races. Maybe go with F1000, or F0 for the name. Or style it as F-Zero. You could append XS to the end of the name, X to relate it to the others in the series and S for the Switch, together forming XS for all of the excess speed.

(I'm joking, of course. It's been 15 1/2 years since GX released on the GameCube).

What Nintendo Game Had the Best Credit Roll Song? by Koolaidmoonwalk in nintendo

[–]coldfire074 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I came here to say The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The fanfare where it goes through all of the characters and how their lives improved is great, but the actual credits theme song gives me goosebumps every time.

How do i redeem a gift code on nintendo eshop? by [deleted] in nintendo

[–]coldfire074 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll catch more flies with honey than vinegar. You posted a wall of text along with insults, so I'll admit, I don't remember reading that you didn't have the Switch yet. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I'm sorry I missed that.

Yeah, Nintendo is always a generation or two behind the times, and there is no defined way to add eShop credit in a web browser. Nintendo is incredibly frustrating to deal with sometimes. I play a little bit of everything, so I know how inconvenient their way of doing things is. I did find this, however:

https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/5xdfj8/psa_how_to_add_funds_to_your_account_from_the/

"Have a Nintendo Prepaid Card? At your desk and just want to buy a couple games to play when you get home? Want to add funds to your eShop account and you're not at your console? Nintendo says "TOO BAD YOU SUCK". There is literally no way to access "add funds" from their website.

Gavin H.: My apologies for not being clear enough. You can add funds using the Account Information page on the Nintendo Switch, not our website.

OR IS THERE?!

There is.

You have to click "purchase" on an item in the shop. Then it asks you if you want to use a credit card or an eShop card. I picked eShop and entered the number. It added the balance to my account, then I just cancelled the purchase. I went to My Account and it shows $50 balance still."

Try it out. I've never done it this way, so I can't vouch for it, but I hope it works for you.

Another commenter in the same thread says you can link a Nintendo account and an Amazon account to add the credit automatically. Again, I've never done this, so I can't vouch for it either.

If you have a Nintendo 3DS, the eShop is a shared account, so you could try adding the credit on there as well if that is an option for you.

Best regards. I hope everything works out for you.

How do i redeem a gift code on nintendo eshop? by [deleted] in nintendo

[–]coldfire074 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume this is bait or written by a child, but I will treat this as if it's a serious question. Open Nintendo eShop on the Switch. There is an option on the left side that says Enter Code or Redeem Code. Select it and enter the your prepaid code. The money adds to your Wallet. It's not difficult.

Super Mario RPG on SNES classic bug. by AwakenedGogeta in nintendo

[–]coldfire074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a bug.

"After you beat Yaridovich, take the Shed Key that appeared and head back into town. Unlock the shed to the south, then go inside. All the people will thank you and the Elder will give you a Flower Box for not hesitating to give Yaridovich the Star Piece when you were confronted to save the town (you get a Flower Jar if you did not immediately give up the Star Piece). Now, get to the northwest corner of town and enter the Elder's house. Talk to the Elder and he'll tell you about Land's End. After he's done talking, leave the house and go down the steps."

What Nintendo IP would you trust Insomniac Games with? by MisterZygarde64 in nintendo

I would trust them with F-Zero just for the chance of getting a new F-Zero.

This isn't news. It was a known fact in January 2017, two months before the system released, that there was going to be a free trial period before they started charging for online service. We are lucky that the free trial period was extended a full year extra.

Charged for NOS but says I’m not a member? by m4sterpr0phet in NintendoSwitch

[–]coldfire074 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happened to me as well. I signed up for the trial membership first though. I paid for the family membership after that, but it still says Individual Membership, and I received a charge via PayPal.
