Did you see the trailer where the nintendo creators get sucked in the 3DS? Did you see the bowser bit? Is that gonna be a real game? I hope it will be :D


The graphics looks absolutally amazing! Have you seen the trailer for the Kid guys game? Thats Wii like graphics right there... or atleast PS2 or gamecube ?

When he stated that you had to go cross-eyed for the 3D effect, he lost all credibility. While true, it's effectiveness is different for different people, stating something like that as fact for everybody instantly says that he knows very little about what he is talking about, especially when that's not how the tech works at all (read: directing an image into each eye). Plus, although on a different note, he's a vlogger on YouTube. What makes him more down to earth than any tech blogger like Joshua Topolsky? These tech bloggers aren't paid for praising a company when they go to an event like E3, they are just paid to go and report on what they see. They will throw their opinions into their articles, sure, but that's it.

I'm not one to deny someone their opinion, but when some things are wrong, it holds no water to me.

As for the design of the console, I like it. The only thing I really don't like is the black bezel around the 3D screen. It's probably meant to keep your attention up to the 3D screen and prevent you from losing track of sight on your game, but it's kind of ugly. Only a small nitpick, though, as I do like the rest of the aesthetics. The headphone port in the middle of the console is really nifty, though.

The 3D is a little bit of a concern for me, as I have ptosis and some other eye conditions that usually prevent me from seeing 3D stuff correctly, but if it works, then I'm good to go. Otherwise, oh well, I'm not crying a river over something that can be turned off.

The game lineup so far, though, looks great, even for a console that hasn't launched yet. No wonder why the DS lost it's stream of good games last year. For launch, I'll probably end up getting (if available, of course), Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, and Paper Mario.

But if you get one, which color would you choose?
-I'm going with gray.

Initially I was all keyed up for the red version, but whenever I see it compared with the blue version I usually end up preferring the blue. I'll wait to see store demo models, but I'm pretty sure I'll get the blue version. :>

Well it looks to me as if the only part that's glossy is the top half of the inside, not the whole thing.

Well it's already canon because it's simply a remake of a Japan only game, so that won't be a problem. If you are wondering, it takes place after KHII. As for the useless spin-off, I think it's along the lines of what Re: Chains of Memories was to Chains of Memories, basically a streamlined, graphically improved version.

They should put an infrared distance sensor on the front of the 3DS to auto-adjust the 3D focus.

At first I really didn't like the design of the 3DS, but within, like... an hour, this is pretty much what was running through my mind. I mean, the games alone are incentive enough to want this system. And the blue 3DS!!! It's so beautiful... it looks like candy. I really just want to lie down with it and cuddle. xD

Also, I've had every version of the DS so far, except the XL. I am a proud DS fangirl. 8Dv

This here. Or something like it. They're keeping the camera on the inside from the DSi, so it doesn't seem to be too much of a stretch. It would be a very welcome addition, judging from what I hear about the sweetspot thing.

I think I'll be building up an extra couple hundred dollars for whenever it does come out. Does anybody know when that is yet?

IT PRINTS MONEY!!!

I showed this picture to a friend and she actually thought the DS REALLY printed money, rofl. It didn't help that, after realizing her gullibility, I even explained how it worked. XD


Haza June 17th, 2010 3:15 AM

I'm actually completely in love with it. I'm ready for something new and imagine the possibilities with Metroid Prime Hunters on this thing. I'm getting the red one the day they are released in the states.

Cherrim June 17th, 2010 4:36 AM

They haven't announced a price range yet, have they? I imagine it'll be around the $200 mark. Possibly more, since the DSi XL still retails for $200 and why they wouldn't go above and beyond that with brand new hardware doesn't make sense. Except that if you go above $200, you get into the very expensive territory which Nintendo has, for obvious reasons, been shying away from in recent years. :( I hope the 3DS won't break my wallet too bad.

You're thinking of Re:Coded and that game is just a regular DS game--not 3DS. The 3DS game they have screenshots of is completely different from Re:Coded. I'm excited for Coded (I can finally play it!) but very, very suspicious of this other game. But that's kind of off-topic. XD;

Corvus of the Black Night June 17th, 2010 4:57 AM

I really hope they do the Gamestop Trade In discount like they did with the DSi and DSXL (which really didn't deserve it). If that's the case... I might actually be able to afford more than one game for the bloody thing!

The graphics were so damn good I thought Kid Icarus: Uprising was going to be a Wii game the first time I saw them :X

That's just the DS. This is how the 3DS operates with printing money.
Just noticed something- the trailer showed the 3DS printing money!

EDIT: The irony of this is that my site went overboard with 3DS news.

I wonder how many people are going to try that.

vibratingcat June 18th, 2010 1:10 AM

hey i was wondering, is there a mic? on the spec thing it didnt say anything, and there isnt a mic port next to the headphone port. how would you play nintendogs + cats like this?
im hoping they'll do more innovative stuff with animal crossing, so far the graphics have improved which is good, but i hope for more areas and items.
the mario kart screen shots look amazing. It resembles mario kart wii, with all the lighting stuff.

Katie_Q June 18th, 2010 1:49 AM

looks really good. I think I'll get red. I like red. I hope that ornacle of time thing's true, never got to play it but it looks fun. Though i might not get it until a year or more after it's release, since i just recently got a DSi, and i'm not made of money. i could put it on my christmas or birthday list, but at the moment, my parents aren't made of money either so they have to buy wii games for me instead

When it comes to Nintendogs + cats, I'm hoping for more improvements rather than worrying about the mic. It does take them a while to respond to the mic commands. Anyway, I'm hoping for a major improvement on this. Nintendogs was great, don't get me wrong, but so many things could have been fixed. I had a list back when I constantly played, but it's slipped my mind now. I haven't played in at least two years. Perhaps a better house, the ability to access more rooms in the house, have more dogs, have the dogs grow so that they can be bred, but not grow old enough to die. And this doesn't have to be done the naughty way, either. They could do something similar to breeding cows in Harvest Moon. Good ole Miracle Potion, anyone?

JakeyBoy June 18th, 2010 8:56 AM

I probably won't bother trying the Peach thing, I ruined it by overdoing it in Brawl. Them screenshots were always a great feature...

And yes, it does have a mic, though I forget where, lemme check the specs again. I never used it much in Nintendogs myself. Probaby won't get it a second time, because after a while it stopped being fun for me. But I'd totally reccomend it to anyone who didn't try it first time around and without a real dog.

EDIT: The specs don't say where, but there is definitely an "embedded microphone".

pop-tart-monkey June 18th, 2010 10:37 AM

I just wonder what the whole 3d feel is going to be like. I have seen some screenshots of games but it doesn't really show what it's going to be like at all

Sydian June 18th, 2010 3:33 PM

I don't think screenshots will show the 3D effects.

Nah, that'd be too much work. Just come back on after a while and suddenly you've got a puppy. :O

dithyrambos June 18th, 2010 10:30 PM

I love those "IT PRINTS MONEY!!!" gifs. Saved 'em both. 8Dd I really hope this comes out around Christmas, then I could ask my mom to buy it for me. Otherwise... I might have to wait. :( I haven't even told her about it because I'm so afraid of how she'll react. Also, I really don't want to trade in my DSi for it. ;_; But I may end up having to do just that. :/

Still sad to see no Black and White news. The Black 3DS is my favorite. Hopefully, it's matte instead of glossy.

I'm pretty sure they have used a mixture of matte and glossy. on the inside is matte and outside clossy and the controlls are glossy.

Virtual Chatot June 21st, 2010 6:33 AM

Girls + Technology was a dangerous combination. 8D
