Why did you even buy it?

Christ.

Have you got another console (PS3, 360, etc)? If so, I am sure you paid around about the same price, if not more for those.
There are so many games coming out for it that I am sure you will like at least a few of them.

May I ask, why are you disappointed? Is it JUST because of the price?


Alternative March 30th, 2011 6:34 AM

I don't think the 3DS is disappointing yet, but it has the potential to become one of the greats! Sure, the steep price will keep people away for a while, and so will the lack of games, but once those good games come out, you'll probably love it. I'm talking Zelda, Kid Icarus, Paper Mario and games like those, which will actually make the 3DS a lot better than they actually are.

Hopefully if I'm lucky, I'll be able to get my hands on one next week, which will be awesome. So I present a question. What colour should I get? I was aiming for Black, but Captain Fabio's pictures of the Aqua colour makes me want to get that instead. Will they have a different feel to them, like is the texture of both colours different?

Virgilia March 30th, 2011 9:32 AM

I haven't got my hands on a copy yet, but I've played my friend's and it's amazing! He had Rayman and I thought it was so awesome! I'm definitely gonna get Rayman, and maybe Nintendogs and Cats, since the better games come out later on in the year. :3

And yeah, I'm gonna get the aqua colour. It looks a lot cooler than the black. xD

My friend has the Cosmo Black and I am trying to steal it off him to I can picture it for the front page for you guys, so I hope that should be up in a few days for you guys to compare at your lesure.


arceus123shiny March 30th, 2011 12:47 PM

the internet browser
 
I looked up the internet browser for the 3ds and it said that it wont be avalible till late may. All this time I've been trying to get online on my 3d.

Captain Fabio March 30th, 2011 4:06 PM

"Nintendo has confirmed that the digital online store and internet browser for the 3DS will be up and running by the time the system launches."

Woops! XD
So much for that then. I only just found that quote, oh well, nothing that can be done about it now.

I guess I would rather have the browser not finished than them putting the whole console back till it is actually completed.

I can just take pictures of my black one, if you want?

I really wish the launch lineup wasn't so... bleh. I got Ridge Racer, Super Street Fighter IV, and Samurai Warriors. Samurai Warriors is actually my favorite, though it's only because Ridge Racer makes me nauseous sometimes and I've been playing SSFIV on the 360 for over a year now. XD

EJ March 30th, 2011 4:50 PM

I got this urge to go get one right now but I kinda want to hold off.

I have the money but I dunno....I'm not feeling it.

bobandbill March 30th, 2011 4:57 PM

Paid for mine but have to wait for delivery because I went with that option (Cheaper! Savings!). It should have come today but it seems the only thinkgsent out is the game. =/ Ah well - I actually do not mind the delay seeing I am good at waiting for stuff and have a rather busy weekend as it is... Certainly am looking forward to it when it does come though.

I know. I didn't get any games for it when I bought it. The only reason I bought the console on the release date was because my mate was working there, so I could get the discount.

I am looking forward to some of the releases though. Shame LoZ is a while away.

Don't blame you. I think it has had mixed responses, but people are still buying it anyway! XD

I am sure there will be offers on with games that you like in the near future.

Let me guess, you are going to be checking the post every single morning? XD
I always do that when I am waiting for something to be delivered.


EJ March 30th, 2011 5:09 PM

I'm completely interested in the Professor Layton/Phoenix Wright crossover, the new Kingdom Hearts game, the LoZ: Ocarina of Time remake, etc...

..but shelling out $250 always stings xD

Haha, tell me about it. Even with the discount I got, my bank balance still felt it! :/

I am looking forward to the Resident Evil games on it. Not only do they look amazing, but 3D RESIDENT EVIL WILL JUST BE EPIC!

Haha. I used my old iPod Touch and traded that in to get discount, a lot of it for that matter. I got £150 trade in on it since the store I go to and my mate works at, beats any other trade in price on other stores. Making the final sale price at £59.99! Bargin! 8D


Mr Cat Dog March 31st, 2011 8:36 AM

I had my first go at a 3DS demo and I'll be honest: it was sorta disappointing. Maybe it's just been all of the hype built up around it and all of the incessant television adverts proclaiming it the best thing since sliced bread, but I found the 3D-ness of it merely OK, I guess. The demo was mainly Nintendogs and while they were cute and the graphics were good, the 3D often kept failing slightly (a lot of double vision which I imagine people get used to eventually). There was also a demo movie which was OK, but nothing groundbreaking.

But yet, when I think about it, this was proper 3D stuff without glasses. And, when my eyes weren't acting up, it was 3D. Should I just have gone in with reduced standards?

I think it was a little hard not to get hyped by the media and reviews calling it the must have bit of technology and such, so there would always be people that were disappointed, because they were expecting a crazy 3D experience.

What were you expecting, if you don't mind me asking?


EJ March 31st, 2011 10:19 AM

I kept hearing the 3D was a gimmick so I went in with lower expectations. However it ended up being pretty cool and fun.

Haha. I knowwwwwwwww. I couldn't say no!

I had a derp moment today, mainly due to lack of sleep, but either way. Me and my friend were trying out the street pass thing where you close the 3DS and it will send over the Mii's. It just wouldn't work, and we were trying to figure it out for ages, checking the settings and all that. 5 minutes later I realised my wireless was turn off, which meant the street pass couldn't communicate! XD

DOH!


EJ March 31st, 2011 12:10 PM

Are there any other good games coming out that are worth looking into?

I had that happen to me but on a laptop. I got all mad and was frantically looking for the answer as to why the computer wouldn't find any wi-fi networks.....it turns out I accidentally turned off the Wi-fi :#

Best thing I can give you to show you the releases. Just have a look on there and see if any you take a liking to.


Ravecat March 31st, 2011 2:15 PM

Is Monkey Ball worth getting?

countryemo March 31st, 2011 2:22 PM

I guess its like the previous versions of it^^
So if you ever played it, then itll be like the same.
I never played it, so I might get it.

I dont like how the 3DS had bab battery life and a even worse camera :( oh well

I hate how everyone says theirs no good games at launch :(
Sure theres no "popular" such as mario or the long awaiting OoT (I never liked this..) at launch but why should they be there? cant give out everything good ;)

~Pilotwings Resort
~Rayman 3D Im set with this one really, assuming that Rayman 2 is The great escape. Love it <3
~One of the racing games
~Super monkey ball 3D, I never played this, so it might be enjoyable

I probally wont get all theese right away but whatever xD Rayman 3D plz <3

Bloo March 31st, 2011 3:03 PM

I don't know; there aren't many good games for the 3DS other than SSIV, I've heard, so I'm not buying any games for a while. I'll just play Pokémon White on my 3DS for a while.

The battery life isn't too horrible if you put the brightness down, like on many devices. There is also Power Saving Mode which is turned of by default that can be turned on. I don't know if Power Saving Mode restricts anything, though. I haven't seen anything yet, anyway. Well, the titles that I'm looking forward to are Animal Crossing, Mario Kart 3DS, Paper Mario, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked, and Kid Icarus: Uprising. A lot of these are TBA, but oh well.

Did anyone hear how the 3DS was hacked for DSi mode in Japan in one day? It's also been hacked in EU and North America now.

Razer302 March 31st, 2011 3:11 PM

I still haven'tdecided whether I am going to pick this up. I have heard that the 3D isn't actually that good, but I haven't had a chance to test it, and the games right now don't interest me to much, a few like Yu-Gi-Oh, Shin Megami Tensei and Dragon quest are about all that I really have an interest in. I Just hope pokemon doesn't go on this or I will ofcourse have to buy it.

So I want to know. Is the 3D any good. If it is I may just pick it up when a game I am interested in comes out.
