Was having a great time with Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice when the 3DS suddenly stopped charging

ace-attorney-spirit-of-justice*sigh* The title says it all, doesn’t it? I’m sure you’re all as sick of hearing of my 3DS troubles as I am of writing about it, so I won’t bother elaborating. That handheld is cursed, cursed I tell you. To think it would fail me at such a crucial moment in the third case, arrrrgh!!! So anyway, Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice and Rune Factory 4 and all those other games I was so looking forward to are on hold AGAIN while I attempt to sort this issue out.

*sigh* And I was having such a good time too. Spirit of Justice wisely pries Phoenix Wright away from his annoying charges Apollo, Athena and Trucy, leaving him free to be his usual goofy, loveable (but slightly more competent and confident with age) self. That dull, stuffy, responsible “Mr. Wright” of Dual Destinies only shows up in phone calls with Apollo, which is just the way I like it. And as a bonus I get to see Maya again. I didn’t like her very much in the early games but now I’ve had a chance to look at the alternatives and seen how much they suck I appreciate her so much more.

Lead on, sweet lips!

Lead on, sweet lips!

Besides, it’s been all these years and he’s still single and she’s still single… you get my drift? Come on Phoenix, why don’t you make an honest woman of her already? You didn’t fly halfway around the world to see ‘just a friend’ now did you? And you’re not as young as you used to be, what with that wonky back and all. Isn’t it time to settle down? …says the otome fangirl in me :-pppp I was double-enjoying the third case for that (purely imagined) aspect as well.

The first case was AWESOME, the second case was terrible – and not just because it was handled by Apollo and Athena, it just plain sucked – and then the third case was all kinds of intriguing with all these strange clues that made you wonder how they could possibly be relevant to the case and all this intrigue going on at a national level. The trial started and not even the boring new prosecutor could ruin my buzz, the plot started to thicken, oh my, what’s going to happen next— *red light* — Gah, I’d better go charge this thing…. And you know how that ended. *sigh*

I really really want to know how the third case and the whole game ends, but I want to play it for myself, not watch it on Youtube or read spoilers. I’ll give my best shot to fixing/replacing the 3DS/charger/battery/whatever is wrong with that stupid thing now. Until then!

    So, did you find the root of the problem?

    I hope you did, and I hope you can play 7th Dragon III soon. This game is absolutely awesome. ^__^

      Nope. I opened it up over the weekend but it looks fine inside. I’m thinking the charger is the problem so I’m ordering for a new one. In the meantime I’ve crawled back to my old faithful DS with my tail between my legs. In a pinch I could comfort myself with the original 7th Dragon, but I really really want to play the new one!

    Try the stand. If the problem is a bad connection, it’s sure to work.

      I didn’t have one at the time, but I bought both a new charger and a dock and didn’t have any problems afterwards. Until the battery died last month, that is.
