Yes also for Resident Evil mercenaries if you have a usb dongle to backup/Restore 3DS saves (like the neoflash DR SMS2), you just need to send a blank save file to the game, and when the game starts it will say the file is corrupted and format itself the game will be like brand new.

Source: me I did that with my cheap used copy of mercenaries. :)

Actually, the answer is yes, partially, and no.
Super Mario 3D Land - yes
Zelda Ocarina Of Time - you can delete the save file but Master Quest will still be available if the game was finished(so you will have three empty OoT and three empty MQ saves)
Resident Evil Mercenaries - no, not without a USB dongle, sorry. Btw, the "NDS Adaptor Plus" by EMS can be updated to work with 3DS games in case you had one of them for Pokemon HG/SS saves.

I think it's possible to delete everything unlocked in Zelda OoT. The manual says that pressing and holding the A, B, Y, and X buttons when the 3DS logo is being displayed will erase all of the save data at once. Maybe that includes the unlocked features...

Honestly I think games saves should be good enough that turning off while saving SHOULN"T corrupt it? I mean its already 2012 and if saves still Corrupt then there must be a problem.

?Can some one send me a link to a usb dongle so I can buy game slike SUper Monkey Ball used and resident evil mercineraires?

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(
