Hi. Before I start my complaint, I must say there are major spoilers for the game here.
I have a complaint about Mario & Luigi: Dream Team as the 3DS Gyroscope fails to work properly. I've used multiple gyro attacks and I'm forced to have to start the attack with my 3DS XL tilted slightly to the left as the object proceeds to move right for no apparent reason. It could possibly be because I've shaken my 3DS a lot - to the point where it might have broken the gyro. I'm not sure if this is the cause. Please share your issues with the gyro as well.
I've also seen complaints of the gyroscope failing to work at all during the Zeekeeper and Giant Bowser battles when they use a specific attack requiring you to use the gyroscope, usually resulting in Giant Luigi's death. I'm only at the third Giant Luigi battle against Earthwake (Zeekeeper help you with that hammer attack), but since I know of this error, it could potentially ruin my chances of beating the boss, let alone the game - there are multiple nasty bugs in this game (The others are having your save randomly getting corrupted, the game freezing and during the Antasma X fight, destroying the Antasmunchie containing Luigi may cause the game to crash) and I can see this was a very bad QA job for Nintendo.
I request the following from Nintendo:
- Recall all retail copies of the game and recheck them to correct the glitches
- Release an update patch for digital copies of the game on the Nintendo eShop.
Thanks for your consideration.
EDIT: So I redownloaded the game and retried the Zeekeeper boss fight (I lost twice, first due to the bomb attack and second due to the gyro glitch mentioned above) and I lost. Second attempt, the glitch occured. Obviously software repair WILL NOT repair the glitch and will require a patch to be released by Nintendo.
I can give a possible explanation: the game disables gyro when a character talks and re-enables it after the text box is closed. During the Zeekeeper and Giant Bowser fights, the game might flip out and forget to re-enable gyro, resulting in you-know-what. (Hint: It involves magic blasts or lava and a Giant Luigi.)
