I sent my nintendo 3DS for repair 2 weeks ago.I checked my status of my Nintendo 3DS repair and it says it was shipped back to me on the 6th of March, I have yet to receive my package. Also there is no tracking number provided.
I checked my email friday and an email from nintendo with a completly repair order # stated that my parts have been recieved at their factory. So I don't even know what that was about.
Is there anything I can do to get a clear definition as to what in the world is going on over there?

Nintendo always gives tracking numbers...
By either fed ex or UPS.

Anyways, it's only been four days since they say it's been shipped. You can wait until Tuesday or Wednesday without needing to be too worried. Sometimes it takes a while.
Or you can search up the new order number they gave to you in the e-mail received on Friday. What's the order status on that one? edit: nvm. They say parts received.
Hmm... I don't know what to tell you besides wait it out a little while longer until something changes.

I sent mine in for a broken SD card slot, and then my brother's 3DS for screen scratches. They received it then shipped out a completely different (brand-new) system the very next day for both of them. So my overall experience with Nintendo has been pretty good. No more than five days total ...

Why would they replace a whole system for screen scratches?

I don't have an answer for that. But I am glad they did. It's probably just faster for them to ship out a new one and fix it later. I know it was a different one because of a different serial and all minor damage was gone completely.

    I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty you can use a "spawner" function on any object.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or when your player dies, you can say in code, if enemy exists, do nothing, but if enemy does not exist, then create enemy at certain spot. (This would be a pain tho for lots of emeies)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Easiest, simple way would be just restart scene, but player would restart from beginning.
