Wow, this looks friggin' epic. I might get it if I had the money. I'm wonder if playing it too much would cause headaches?

redsaber5859 October 12th, 2010 8:35 PM

I showed this to my stepdad

He said, YES! FINALLY NO MORE GLASSES FOR 3D

Were getting one on launch day, no matter the price :D

I'm pretty sure Nintendo won't make the same mistake twice. o3o

I think some people are smart enough to do that, but really, with all the work it would take, I don't think it would be worth it. What would they really gain from it besides lulz?

Well, even if someone did do that, they wouldn't be able to control who they sent it to with Street Pass. They could exchange the data with each other, but then someone else may get the data too.

Ha, glad to hear some people are as excited as me! :'D

I'll be getting it for sure, but ugh I think it might be a little too expensive at first!

BTW love that you made this thread! very handy!

fenyx4 October 15th, 2010 3:26 AM

Well, I'm definitely excited for the Nintendo 3DS! I don't have a DS, so this will be a great opportunity to update my handheld experience! I'll wait for the price to drop a bit, though... The main reason I'm getting it is to play Platinum, HeartGold, and the third version of BW. However, games like StarFox 64 3DS, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3DS, Kid Icarus: Uprising, and Street Fighter IV (as well as touched-up 3D rereleases of GameBoy and GameBoy Color games) are exciting me as well! :D

I'm still sad that the 3DS lacks a GBA slot, though... :( I'd rather take that over the camera feature. Cross-generational Pokemon transfers are going to be quite a hassle for me...

One other con I have is that the "Power" switch has turned into a button again, similar to the layout on the DS Phat. Words cannot seem to express the anger I felt when my finger repeatedly touched the Power button accidentally when I first handled a classmate's DS for a few hours (it happens during intensive play on the DS Phat. Trust me). :cer_pissed: The fact that I had made a lot of progress but didn't get to save just worsened the matter.

I saw nothing wrong with the switch-on-the-side layouts from past Nintendo handhelds... :\

A Pixy October 15th, 2010 2:21 PM

I feel as though I need to post this here.

Zeffy and I were having an INCREDIBLY long convo about how they can use decks in Augmented Reality to make Routes and who you're playing as.

No need to update games, just give us new cards. n_n

butterbiscuit October 15th, 2010 2:26 PM

Good. You keep it alive. :D
Pretty much what we were talking about, right? :p

This, I hate when that happens, though I seem to have avoided it for quite a while. Maybe the reason of it's location has to do with the actual "guts" of the handheld?

I guess not though, as it's location varied with all the DS's....

But anyways, I came in here because I had an idea that maybe they should have implemented, or maybe they should next time, lol.

I think the inner camera that faces the person playing the game should also somehow double as a motion sensor, and the stylus could have something in the end of it that acts like a Wii-mote. :D

It might work, but the stylus might be too small to have something like that in it, and the 3DS itself might not be able to handle a motion-sensor thing in it, as it already has so much other stuff. But maybe in years when they shrink down that technology some more, they would be able to implement it. :P

That wouldn't really work. If you play your DS a lot, the stylus will easily slip out of its slot, and this would make your Wiimote stylus very easy to lose, and I doubt that they could fit that kind of technology in that small of a space any time soon. (Unless the made the stylus bigger)

And there are a couple of DSiWare games that already use the internal camera as somewhat of a motion sensor, namely WarioWare: Snapped.

Yeah and I regret getting that game, you have to have the background/person contrast, lighting, and angles to be perfect to even play, and I could never get it to work.

And about losing the stylus, then put a GPS tracker in it, and the 3DS could have GPS tracking technology! :O

Jk, :P

But I can imagine the future of this stuff, the slogan would be: "DS 3000, what can't it do?" :P

butterbiscuit October 15th, 2010 9:44 PM

I wish I could chip my DSi.
I lose that thing so much. :x

Seems reminiscent of the PS3. "It only does everything." :b

A Pixy October 16th, 2010 7:36 PM

It does appear to do a butt-load of things.

A 3D camera is almost worth the price of the item. o3o

butterbiscuit October 18th, 2010 4:06 PM

Yep, I wouldn't be surprised if shortly after the 3DS' release they started selling 3D cameras for the price of a 3DS.

Or maybe for more.

Possibly... :\ But they were able to redesign the Nintendo DS "Phat" when they developed the DS Lite, and that converted the button to a switch just fine... But the DSi went back to the power-button format.

I'm hoping there's a 3DS redesign that shifts the power "button" back to a switch, though... But I'll have to try out the depicted 3DS model to see if button placement will be a problem anyway (which I am anticipating it could be...)

butterbiscuit October 19th, 2010 6:15 PM

Minor, minor update.

But an update nonetheless. ;D

I think I like a button better than a switch. I'm always paranoid I'll turn my game off. :U

Chrono October 24th, 2010 2:40 PM

I can't wait for the 3DS *_*. I just hope there's a green one when it comes out to the U.S.

butterbiscuit November 4th, 2010 9:24 PM

A little bit of an update, just added a new trailers section and put in a Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle trailer.

A Pixy November 11th, 2010 4:31 PM

I guess all the info on the 3DS has come out.

Just as fabulous now as it was those many months ago. n_n

angel_blarg November 12th, 2010 6:11 AM

Looking forward to this, saving my pennies for when it comes out :D

Yeah, I've been looking around for more info but the flood has seemed to have dried up.
But yes, it's all still awesome! :D

Delphinus November 27th, 2010 7:44 PM

I actually had no plans to buy this. I mean I was intending for waiting for the eventual "lite" version since more games would be released and the 2nd version of a handheld is usually my favourite.



...But then Mask of Miracles and Professsor Layton Vs Ace Attorney happened and.....

iRyu November 27th, 2010 8:26 PM

Who's Getting this? I'm Getting This!!!
I can't wait. Especially for the Kingdom Hearts game. Though, if I don't get it immediately, I may for the lite, depending how bulky this one is

Shadow Ball November 27th, 2010 9:24 PM

$300 is quite pricey, but I cannot resist it because of the OOT remake and Resident Evil: Revelations. Those games are calling my name, and the 3DS looks pretty sweet as well. Guess I'll have to save up. :P
