This is the FIRST time it has happened. I take good care of my 3ds, aside from a couple of accidental drops, not from very high either... and they were pet caused. It's worked well after each fall. So I figure it has to be related to the game.
I turned my 3ds on and tried to go into the game, it started to load and it froze as the main screen came on. I had to remove the game card partially in order to get back to the main screen.
Anyone else run into this issue?
Also, I was able to get the game to load ok afterwords, but this is rather worrying. I'll be trying the 'repair software' option just to be on the safe side, as I do not have the cash on hand to get my system repaired, if it's an issue with the system itself and not the game.
Edit: Update... I just repaired both my Move in version and the recent update for the full version. Technically, it couldn't find anything wrong O_O. But I went and redownloaded them anyways. So now I'm flummoxed as to what just happened 
.
I hope it was just a one time occurance, but I'm rather concerned.
