Soundtrack is just a download
on April 19, 2016
Posted by: Kiwin
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this physically mostly because I read it came with the soundtrack. I was disappointed that it just a download link for it though.
The game itself is fun. It's not super great, but it's very competently made, and they've added some extra content through free updates. The only thing that disappointed me is that the relics (powers you can find in each stage) are not equal in terms of usefulness and that there weren't even more non-boss challenges in the challenge mode. There's supposed to be another update coming out later that will add a third playable character. The Shovel Knight amiibo adds a lot more fun to the main game with even more abilities and local co-op, but paying ~$10 for a small statuette and an add on to a $15-20 game seems a bit expensive.

More secure than Sony's accounts

Since Sony got hacked a few years ago, buying PSN cards seems like a safer way for purchasing digital games.

Card works very easily. Just scratch the part on back, log into your account, and add the money to the account through the link listed on the card. Good for people who don't want to worry about Netflix taking out money from your bank or credit account each month (plus you get some My Best Buy points).

Very easy to use; some mild annoyances
on December 1, 2015
Posted by: Kiwin
Verified Purchase:Yes
Setting up the Chromecast is extremely easy to do (just plug it in to the TV and power, connect via your phone/tablet/computer, and then it'll do a short update). The Chromecast is very easy to use and works perfectly with high resolution videos streaming. The phone/tablet just acts as a remote so you're not wasting a ton of battery watching videos. You can also cast your phone/tablet/computer screen to your TV although there is latency in doing so which depends on your device and WiFi connection.
I've noticed that sometimes my phone will disconnect from the Chromecast if I use other apps for a while or have the phone off for an extended period of time though, but it's easy to reconnect. Also, there are no options for adjusting the resolution of YouTube videos and you will likely need to turn overscan off in your TV's video settings if you don't want the image to get cut off on the sides (my TV unfortunately does not have this option but my mother's did). In addition, the audio comes only from the TV, so you can't use headphones unless they're plugged into the TV. There is an app for streaming from your phone to your TV that does allow for headphones, but it only works for videos you have saved onto the phone/tablet/computer, you must manually adjust for the latency, and it does cause considerable battery drain.
Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase despite these small annoyances.

Great amount of memory for my phone, and speed is good enough for my needs (the Samsung PRO line is faster but more expensive and not available in 128 GB yet).

eShop money plus an AR card

Buying this in stores is a better value than just adding funds to the eShop because you get reward points and it comes with a collectible AR card that can be used with a 3DS camera app.

Looks and feels nice
on December 1, 2015
Posted by: Kiwin
Verified Purchase:Yes
The phone case looks nice on my LG G4, and the quick circle feature is neat but not necessary. It closes very neatly over the screen and covers the sides of the phones although the top and bottom are still exposed. Putting it on and taking it off is very easy to do. For taking pictures, you can easily bend the front cover back and the circle opening will be right over the camera. I'm a bit concerned that it won't offer much protection though.

You love the excitement and action-packed quests your Nintendo 3DS delivers, but you also wish there was a way to include your favorite characters in other games. What if Mario could go on an adventure with Link, if Little Mac could battle enemies alongside Samus or if Yoshi and Bowser could solve challenging puzzles cooperatively? With amiibo, you have the chance to play with and as your favorite characters in a variety of titles ~ and now with this Reader/Writer, you can use your amiibo figures on your Nintendo 3DS console. Bring them to life in vibrant 3D worlds wherever you are, and customize your character, add bonus content and more. Are you ready to expand and enhance your Nintendo 3DS gameplay?

Looks nice and works as advertised.

Verified Purchase:Yes
It's about twice as tall as a closed 3DS XL, and has a nice weight to it. All it takes is two AA batteries to power, but I'm not sure how long they will last. It's not meant to be left on for long periods of time, so I expect the batteries will last quite a while. The design looks visually appealing although the black cover on the IR sensor feels a bit loose (not like it would fall out though). The infrared sensor on it has a nice range, so you don't have to be perfectly aligned with it. It seems the 3DS has to communicate with this reader every time you want to use it, so it takes a bit longer to read/write amiibos than it would with a N3DS although it does cost 1/10th the price of a N3DS XL. Good for people that already have a 3DS but people who don't might want to go with a New 3DS instead.

Fun game with a cute amiibo
on October 21, 2015
Posted by: Kiwin
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a fun, little platformer. Graphically, it looks rather nice for a 3DS game although it's not particularly detailed. It works well with the screen's low resolution. The music is nice although most stages in each world have the same track. Each world has 6 stages and a boss stage. You have to beat the six stages to get to the boss, but after each stage, you must spin a wheel to determine where you must go next. The wheel is rather pointless, but it's EXTREMELY easy to get the number you want so it shouldn't cause frustration. Each stage has a few collectibles to find, and there's a baby alien rescue sidequest you can do in most stages after having completed it once.
The only problems I had with the game is the long loading cutscene when moving between any stage and the slow, unskippable dialogue/scene that repeats every time you talk to an NPC or scan an amiibo. Speaking of amiibo, the Chibi one unlocks a capsule machine that lets you buy figurines at random and other amiibo unlock figurines of Chibi in poses of those characters (not necessarily the pose of the amiibo though).

Enjoy your music with these Sony Extra Bass MDRXB950BT/B headphones, which feature Electronic Bass Boost circuitry for deep low-end sound. Bluetooth technology with AAC and aptX support allows easy wireless pairing with compatible devices.
Can these be used for a TV?
They can be used for a TV if the TV has Bluetooth audio or a Bluetooth audio transmitter attached. The headphones are APTX compatible so there should be negligible latency between the visuals and the audio. You can also use a long cable to connect to the headphone jack of the TV, but you must connect to the included cable (use a female to male 3.5mm cable) because the end that goes into the headphones is proprietary and won't allow any other other 3.5mm jack to go in. Also, the bass boost feature is only available when using Bluetooth.

I want to use these headphones with my pc, but the pc is not Bluetooth enabled. Will a Bluetooth adapter work and which one is recommended?

Any 3.0 or higher Bluetooth adapater should work with these headphones, but if it's not an aptX bluetooth adapter, you will notice a significant amount of delay between visuals and sound if you try watching videos. Some programs will allow you to adjust for such delays, but it's annoying to do so every time you want to watch something. You'll also want to use the adapter with only the headphones to reduce interference.
