My 3DS is around 2 years old and I've never had any button issues to speak of until today. I picked up MG: World Tour today and started playing it and everything was fine until I started an actual game of golf. Suddenly none of the buttons worked. A B X Y L R Start and Select, none of them. The only one that worked was the HOME button. I closed my 3DS and reopened it and it brought me to the pause screen and I could move through the menus there fine and quit the game of golf. Tried it again same issue. Tried 2 other games (Fire Emblem and OOT3D) every button worked fine for those games.
I had the digital Eshop version of MG, so I thought maybe it had a bad download or something so I downloaded it again. No change. The game works fine in all other aspects, walking around the Golf Club, scrolling through menu's, talking to people etc. I really have no idea what could be causing the issue and if anyone has any advice please share. Thanks in advance.
