The 3DS Information/Discussion Thread

I'm fine with my current 3DS, so as long as it doesn't break, I won't be getting a revision.

[SIZE="a"]I CANT WAIT TO GET MY 3DS FOR CHRISTMAS!!!! What bundles are available or are coming out before christmas?[/SIZE]

Same, here Twigs. xD;

Aaaand, there's always the Limited Edition Zelda 25th bundle that's coming out. It looks fantastic, by the way. o3o

I'm confident in the 3DS I brought on launch day because Nintendo's made INCREDIBLE use of its ability to be enhanced and updated through software updates that are now able to be pushed automatically to the system via wifi.

Its to the point where I nearly remember the 3DS I brought back in march as a different system than the 3DS I have now.

I don't think the firmware updates have been THAT drastic. o_O
I can see a redesign having the second circle pad built in. If so, that might tempt me to trade up. Otherwise, it'd have to be a pretty drastic improvement in order for me to consider it.

You mean like every other current-gen console and handheld can do?

Never stopped the 360 S, PS3 Slim and three more models of PSP coming out and being clear superiors.

 

[Legendary Silke]

The system update is up 1-2 days early. I think you should be able to grab that update manually now. (It's huge!)

Hopefully the update will stop Harvest Moon: ATOTT to stop freezing :| I'll probably update tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Legendary Silke]

I think I only remember Ridge Racer 3D freezing due to a botched update and it was patched posthaste. The Harvest Moon games are always buggy, and I think the bugs exist even when playing on the DS or DS Lite (both unpatchable).

 

[Impo]

New update? I have to check :D !
I've only just recieved the e-shop and internet browser yesterday :/

 

[Chikara]

Nah, the bug only exists on the 3DS version. Everyone who's playing on the DS isn't having the problem, as far as I've read.

Ah, you meant the new game, huh? That kind of bug... since most 3DS games are not exactly patchable, I can only hope that system updates might circumvent the issue, or a recall.

 

[Chikara]

Yeah that's what I meant haha. The 3DS should be able to support a freaking HM game, but it lags(which I've never seen happen on any non-PC game), and freezes during screen changes(normally only when you're in the mountain area, but Iv'e had it freeze when I walked into someones house).


....Sooo I'm hoping that's it's simply the hardware, and not the like... The software lol ;__;

Since it's HM, $100000 says that it's the developer. HM games = glitchy.

The new update is here and Super Pokemon Rumble is comming out tommow/broke street date at some stores in austraila

 

[Legendary Silke]

I'm enjoying the little finishing touches on the firmware update... and also messing around with new features. Can't wait for the eShop to get its store updated tomorrow, because that's probably when we see lots of new stuff.

 

[Legendary Silke]

Well, it seems that there is already a program to convert videos to play on a 3DS. That was really fast. o.O

Sometimes you can also do it with what you have. As long as the video codec is MJPEG and the audio IMA ADPCM or uncompressed PCM and the video height is 240 pixels, anything should work.

For once, I am about to replay them again. On a portable. Backlit goodness, GO!

I would like to see the 3DS able to call other 3DS like a phone. not sure if it will ever happen or can but I can dream.
