Nobody has it yet - I think Team Fail got confused or something tbh because it's not out last I checked a...minute ago. =/

Okay it's started now, the update.
It's just very slow or leastways thus far. =p |
Its online!! I think I'll update in the morning, or start it tonight. *yawns*

Edited to add: Or maybe a lot less time. |
I'm downloading it right now. It's taking roughly that amount of time. I thought it would've taken a lot quicker than 15 minutes to update with internet and eShop. But hey, free Pokedex 3D and Excitebike. 8D
|
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
The eShop isn't working properly because of maintenance or something, I blame the witches. |
Kind of a disappointment if you as me. Why have this big massive update for everyone if you can't even access it after you've updated? I was looking forward to my free Excitebike and Pokedex 3D. D:
|
I still have Super Mario Land in the full glory of it's original cartridge, so I wonder if I can show that to the camera, if I could get that for free. :P Anyways, I'll still be getting that game for it, since I loved it as a kid. :3

I am glad I got through in time to download Pokemon 3D Pokedex. I also got an update on my Spotpass yesterday for Samurai Warriors, two new stages woo! Albeit not very challenging ones.
|
Quote:
|
Not completely sure, but I did have my game in at the time. I just went to system updates around midnight last night and went to update and it came up with the one for Samurai Warriors. I tried with my other games like Street Fighter and Lego Star Wars and got nothing.
|
3DS claims to be updated when it's still version 1.1
Clearly it has become self aware. |
After about an hour I was finally able to get the Pokedex 3D and Excitebike 3D downloaded. The Pokedex 3D is exactly what I expected it to be - not much- and Excitebike is just as much fun as I remember.
|
Tried the browser, downloaded the pokedex (at least they look decent lthough I wonder how accurate its moveset info is for past generation Pokemon given some learn specific moves via BF tutors etc when I actually get some) and now downloading excitebike, which I never played before. Looking forward to trying that out!
|
Well, I am just downloading the update now, so it will be interesting to see what I think of it all. I haven't seen any of the content in this download, so I will let you know what I think. Haha. |
The Pokedex is pretty neat, imo. All I really like is being able to get a 3D view from every angle of a Pokemon, which would be pretty handy if I ever decide to pick up my tablet and draw something. I had a couple of errors at first in the eShop, but I havn't had many since.
|
The freebies are pretty cool, and the browser's... there. :/ I'm glad they got it all up-and-running, though! Does everybody have the starters, Hydreigon, Emolga, Audino, Foongus and whoever else I'm forgetting? Do we all have the some Pokemon?
|
It's all too late for me, I actually have a decent phone now so I'd rather download better games for that from Android for less money.
£3.60 for an ancient mario game is pretty ridiculous comapared to nothing for angry birds. That said I have downloaded excite bike and pokedex 3D. Come on Nintendo do something with this console! EDIT: Am I doing something wrong on excitebike? All it seems to be is ride, do jump, oh haha you crashed because you jump now you have to wait ten years to fix your bike at the side. |
Outside of the prices the only thing I have wrong with Eshop is they allow accept Master Card or Visa. Why can't they expect others like Discover and American Express -_-
|
Currently downloading the E3 trailers they put up in the eShop. :3 All hyped for Kid Icarus again!
It'll be good to have an officially endorsed source for those GB/C games. I miss my Crystal version. T.T |
Quote:
Anyways, I cant seem to update my 3DS (atleast I found it). I keep getting and error, and that itll restart the system. COME ON ALREADY. |
The 3D Pokedex is pretty solid. Could someone tell me how I can take pictures of the Pokemon to put them on photos and stuff V_____V
Need to be rocking that Hydreigon in some of my photos! |

The 3DS gave me a headache. I can see that being a problem for a lot of people.
|
Quote:
|
I'll admit it's given me headaches before, and if I use it for an hour plus with no breaks I still get them. However in moderation or without the 3D it's a non-issue. I guess it just varies person-to-person.
|
Generally the 3D effect hasn't bothered me, but the Ocarina of Time trailer on it really hurt. Probably because of all the rapidly-changing scenes. My eyes didn't have time to adopt to the new focal points being forced on them...

3DS Virtual Console
I got a 3DS on launch day and have been waiting for Virtual Console. Now that it's out, I went down to the local Game Stop and bought a card. I got Link's Awakening, Super Mario Land, and Radar Mission. I didn't expect Radar Mission to be as much fun as it is. I also got the free Pokedex, and I am confused as to how I can view my collected Pokemon (in the Pokedex) with an AR card. Also, did anyone else buy 3DS virtual console games?
|
It was alright nothing really wowed me with it though. If I did by it then it would be after games like Zelda Ocarina of Time, Paper Mario, Super Mario, Mario Kart, Luigi Mansion, Kirby Mass Attack, Kid Icarus: Uprising.
|
I do believe that the update fixes a few issues with the charging indicator - It actually turns off when fully charged. Also, the eShop cards won't be available until July. I know it sucks but at least it doesn't force me to get them over other things.
|
Wait so what does the club nintendo points do for the 3DS shop? Cause I finally put my login in (hehe I forgot it). And my balence is still 0$ so idk if it adds money. What is it for?
|
My local GameStop sells 3DS cards. I bought one the other day.
|
I love my 3DS so far. I'm trying to get Excitebike. Oh, and I found an awesome Super Smash Bros. Styled game for it! Check it out:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004R0JOL0/ref=s9_simh_gw_p63_d12_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=07S11WV85EY9QP73A4AN&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846 :P it's pretty awesome. P.S. I don't know if this is true, but on the e-shop, there's something called Link's Awakening, and in there, there's supposed to be a side-scrolling level where you smash goombas and koopas. Can anbody verify that? |
I love the Pokedex, because aside from the 3D videos, it is the best simple display of 3D and the graphics on the 3DS, and is a great way to introduce friends to the system.
|
So, Nintendo have confirmed what a lot of us already knew. |
They should if they haven't already owned up to their screw up with the updates as well. They pushed them back and then when the day when the updates were supposed to happen they didn't so then it went down the next day(which isn't that big of a deal). I'm just glad Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is now out. I did enjoy playing Samurai Warriors though, I thought it was just as good as any of the other launch titles.
|
I'll finally be getting one for my own! I already bought myself a copy of Ocarina of Time 3D. It was the last copy they had at the store I went. And considering how hard I've been hearing it is to find already I'm considering myself lucky I was able to get my hands on it a mere 2 days ago.
|
Nintendo is being sued by an old sony employee... nothing suprising there.
|
So apparently Netflix is available on eShop. Although it's probably not going to be too fulfilling of a watch on 3DS though. How long has it been available cause I haven't been to eShop in about a week? If I was a member I would try it out though. Seems like Nintendo is finally making use of the eShop, although a lot of the games don't appeal to me that much.
|
Although I do agree with the games not being that great. I am glad with that they have done so far. There is a lot of content, maybe not amazing content, but much better than how the Dsi started. With 3D game trailers being available too. I hope they can expand even more with it, I'm looking forward to this so called television service, let's just hope they don't go overboard.
Hey, it's free isn't it? |
Free to download(more then you can say about some of that stuff). And free one month trial.
|
Got the Netflix. :D It's not bad at all. Watched me some Fullmetal Alchemist, the resolution is decent enough to appreciate it. Live-action stuff is a little fuzzy, I guess.
I don't think having it on the 3DS adds to your bill. We're already paying for Netflix for the Wii, and it hasn't told me about adding any other fees yet. |
Is there any movies that are their to maximize the 3D functions with? If so that would be interesting to watch.
|
Quote:
I can already say that it's pretty good game. If you like other Zelda games or even if you're new to them but like same kind of games, you should try it. |
I downloaded Netflix this week, it's pretty nifty. I love the resolution with anime and cartoons, Iron Man: Armored Adventures looks wonderful on it. And, like Åzurε said, live action stuff is a little blurry. But not enough to make me not watch it.
I want to download some other games, is Link's Awakening fun? |
Quote:
Waiting for Pokémon games to appear on eShop, I have still money on 3DS for one GB/C game and there's Mario's Picross and soon Game & Watch collection but I'm afraid that there will be even better VC game on next week if I go and buy Mario's Picross now. |

Nintendo Video is nothing special at least for now. I hope it'll get better after some time. |

Nintendo Video will get better. E3 2010, they said stuff like Shawn the Sheep and other stuff will be coming. And Movie Trailers just look better in 3DS 3D. <3
Whaat. OH Pf. But free games dosent sound that bad. NES seems to quite the majority.. I dont like much of them, but get what you can. |
Wow, pretty interesting. |
Well the lack of big sellers atm probably isn't helping them, so I suppose this will help sales pick up before the next few come through (as good as OoT may be it is a remake and only one game), along with the fact that the Vita was priced similarly. (Although not that many consoles start off well anyway at lunch - I think the DS went worse itself and had less good titles in its first year compared to what can be expected of the 3DS). This seems to be a fix for that and the free games offer for those who have it already is pretty neat as it doesn't leave us out, so to speak. That and arguably the free games would be worth more than the price drop... but well, judge for youself - the names thrown about atm aren't obscure titles that didn't sell well after all.
Quote:
|
Well, if I am honest, I am not really interested in any of those games that they have to offer. I only like LoZ and WarioWare. But you know, can't really complain because they are free. |
Myself, I wouldn't mind trying them and as I haven't played any of those (bar a couple of the nes as demos) before they are hence worth more to me as well!
|
That is fair enough and I think they are being clever about it. I don't know how many people have played all those games, personally I have but only because I had those consoles when I was younger. |
I think I'm going to enjoy the fact that I'll be playing Yoshi's Island sooner or later on my 3DS! I played the heck out of that back when I was a kid on my GBA.
|
This is pretty awesome. Paying $250 was worth it imo.
|
CAnt wait for the price drop so i can get one :D
|
Quote:
|
I am VERY pissed to find out that Megaman Legends 3 got canceled. VERY.
|
Hehe I'm glad I waited. But I'm still gonna wait. I don't need one unless BW's successor will be on 3DS. The price drop should get more sold though.
|
I'll probably get a 3DS because of the price drop, but sad I won't be able to get Ambassador-exclusive GBA games.
|
thank goodness the price is dropping
I don't even know what they were thinking releasing it at such a steep price. I'm hesitant to buy it, though. I'm sure a 3DS Lite or something will be coming out sometime next year. |
^ that's pretty much how I'm feeling too, haha.
Quote:
|
I'm all for the price drop, and WILL be buying it. It's not like the NES/GBA games are going to be in 3D, so I don't feel like paying $80 more games I already own/could download and emulate at anytime.
|
Quote:
|
I'm so glad it went down to $169.99, haha. Now I'll for sure be buying one before I head back to school. XD
|
What. What. What. What.
I spend $250 on a system that is $90 cheaper afterwards. Well, at least I get exclusives. |
I bought this for $250 but it's my money and it was my decision to be so impatient... But 20 games are worth it IMO, especially if 10 of those games are exclusive to "ambassadors."
|
This seems pretty good. I feel as if this is a sort of replacement for having to pay $249.99 USD for a 3DS, and the extra $80 that we had to spend will be replaced by tese games. I just really hope that Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire will be available, but I really wouldn't mind trying a free game. Also, Super Mario Advance 3 is particularly exciting to me. When I first got my GBA, I got this game, so I would love to play it again, especially since it was one of my first video games.
|
Uh oh.
Though if the prices drop to $170 then I don't see 3DS sales struggling. |
I'm pretty sure that there's a turnabout brewing for the 3DS. Especially when its price is now... well, lower than the cheapest PSP that you can get in Japan...
With the heavy hitters coming out, and Vita still not being out, I have a feeling that the 3DS, with the price drop, might finally reach its target. |
I think that $170 may have been a mite too low, I'd personally say 180 is perfect even as a desperation maneuver. As for the Ambassador program, what do y'all think of that? 20 free eShop games, 10 NES and 10 apparently-exclusive GBA games. I think that it's suitable compensation (well, so long as you ignore caveat emptor).
Quote:
There were how many Pokemon GBA games? 5. I'm obviously probably dead wrong, but the thought makes me happy. Now give me my Boktai and GBA Earthbounds and I'll be on my way. |

I didn't think for one second that Nintendo would have done anything except port the games since they are giving them away for free. |
Quote:
Also, is it possible to stop upscaling of VC games? |
I'm hoping for multiplayer as there's Mario Kart in the list too. NES games were already confirmed that they'll have multiplayer when they get available to everyone but what I've seen there's no mention o multiplayer GBA games.
|
I'd rather have free 3DSware titles instead of NES and GBA games I already have, but whatever. I'll take what I can get. It's free.
|
Ok so I got something about Nintendo Video.
Why cant you view previous videos? Do you think this is a bad idea? |
Quote:
Everything they offer is in an RSS feed-like setup. If it's old, good luck ever finding it in the case of WiiWare, etc. And with Nintendo Video, new videos replace the old ones completely. Not that I have any desire to watch that one short of "Dinosaur Office" repeatedly and forever, but it just shows Nintendo's... attitude |
I think the mentality is that Nintendo Video is basically providing elongated 3D commercials. There may a few exceptions, but after the first pass, that's what it feels like (bar, perhaps, the OK GO video). I suppose you could conceivably store the files for the video on the computer or something, and the 4-at-a-time thing keeps your memory card reasonable. But so far it just feels like advertising. Maybe I won't mind that when they show trailers for a game I'm excited about.
|
Quote:
|
People who own a 3DS most likely own or have played the games that Nintendo is offering, hence why we got a 3DS, but oh well, hopefully there's at least 2 or 3 games that I haven't played.
|
I think I'm going to sell mine and then rebuy it when there is a suitable level of games available.
Chances are the price will drop a fair bit by then anyway. :D |
Quote:
New theory: Nintendo should have "channels" for Nintendo Video. You select up to 4, like College Humor/Nintendo News/Music Videos/Whatever Else out of a longer list, and it downloads the current videos for the those channels, basically providing more variety and customization. People like variety and customization. Quoth a little post on nintendo3dsblog, the Ambassadors are currently set to receive their complimentary games with an unfinished interface. No suspending the game with Home, no save states, no sleep mode, no multiplayer, wireless or otherwise (and this, unlike the others, says "not supported", giving the vibe that they aren't even gonna end up fixing this).

I was under the impression that they would later update the games (the NES ones anyway) and could then update for free too when they do so, or so I recall from the initial announcements anyway. But what's the source on it being like that?

So is there anything too this? Cause if Emerald is really one of the titles I will **** bricks. |
No - it's just vague rumours with no evidence and Pokemon Emerald would be really darn unlikely. Consider false until proven otherwise.
