Got my 3DS a day early!

[L___E___T]

Yes they have capture kits - can capture 2D or 3D pictures and video - I will have one soon

[IMPORTANT UPDATE]

Do NOT use a flashcard in your 3DS, at least until there's some clarification - see here:

Nice,let me know how the capture kit performs.

I guess this is our 3DS thread?

I finally got a chance to use the 3DS for a few minutes at the local Target.  Played a quick fly-around in Pilotwings Resort (into the volcano, yeah!).  The 3D effects didn't blow me away, but I toggled between 2D and 3D a few times just to compare and I think the 3D gives it a nice graphical improvement.  Like, it looked better in the same way a higher resolution or sharper textures make a game look better.

I am really amazed how the 3DS works Yes, I'm a proud owner of the Cosmo black version now and happily trying everything that is possible so far (prior to the upcoming update).
The only thing that's sad is that the StreetPass (exchanging data between 3DSes) is counting with the actual possibility of meeting other people having this console in their possesion when walking the streets, in "sleep mode" and with StreetPass turned on. Maybe this thing works in Japan or USA, but in my town, I'm probably the only one and I would be amazed if this situation changes in the upcoming year.
I'm hoping that adding friends over the internet  will be actually usefull after the update. (Anyone cares to exchange friend's numbers? PM!)

BTW did anyone tried to download DS demos using Wii? Are those games being deleted after shutting down the "Download Play" application? If not, where can I find them?

I've had mine since launch and it has a very loose hinge... 


Instead of PMs, why don't we make a public list so everybody can add everybody?

Would you all be up for that?

[jpx72]

Well I'm for the public list, there was also a Wii topic before with some public Wii numbers so I'm guessing it won't hurt. I would even be for an idea of adding Wii and 3DS numbers to the profile page...

Don't worry, that's a worldwide problem, it's usually only the left hinge (you can tell when you close the 3DS and try to move the upper part a bit, you will probably notice the problem only on the left side). Mine's also a bit loose.

[manuel]

I'm just glad that the hinge (the left one on my 3DS also) didn't become loose because of me handling it wrong.

[MS-DOS4]

Yeah, I can't believe how low quality these are. Anyhow, I've registered you guys... Here's my info:

I heard there is only one playable game for this machine as of now.

[UglyJoe]

You heard wrong: http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse/ref=sr_tc_2_2?node=2622270011&ie=UTF8&qid=1304685460&sr=8-2-tc

[nintendodork]

I heard there is only one playable game for this machine as of now.

What exactly is that supposed to mean?  In a literal sense, the 3DS had quite a few titles at launch, and I know of at least three that are really fun games.

[RegalSin]

So I checked out the amazon list. All of the titles was just ports, even the "Bit Trip" game. Makes me think about how over the years while games have been perfectly ported down, and up to various systems, it takes the actually fun out of playing the ports, due to it's perfection.

I am thinking back to the Gameboy days, when you one version, with an entirely differnt or simular story, and you could play them all without never having the same exprience.

I have found a great Polish site
http://streetpass.com.pl/
which is collecting data about 3DS owners all over Poland... Of course I have joined in, because it's one of a kind site and a great idea to find out about 3DS owners in case you want to make use of streetpass feature. I only hope the Polacks won't be against other nationality members joining there...
