Mokong Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I wasn't sure if mine was too loose or not so i sent it anyways for it to be checked. It must of been a fault i guess since it got replaced. so did you lose all your data then? If it was just hinges can't see why they couldn't just tighten them up and send back you own one.
Nintendo Fan Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 so did you lose all your data then? If it was just hinges can't see why they couldn't just tighten them up and send back you own one. Nope, everything is on it was rly supprised by that. I was dreading having to add everyone again.
Nicktendo Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Just managed to grab a Brand new 3DS from Playtrade with Nintendogs + Cats 3D for £165! Can't wait to play it, I haven't owned a handheld since the GBA first came out.
ShadowV7 Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Okay you lot, if you would suggest a game, PilotWings Or Nintendogs? I'll likely be picking up one of these but no idea what one to go for. Never played Pilotwings, I know its short but I don't mind trying to get perfects etc, or go with Nintendogs even though I had it on the DS, does it still take you in, any new differences that makes it worth playing over Pilotwings?

Can't wait to play it, I haven't owned a handheld since the GBA first came out. Be wary... that's very cheap for a 3DS, it could be someone who bought one and found out that it has a dead pixel and so a re-selling it in order to buy a new one, or it could just be a very good deal, I hope it's the latter for you. : peace:

My choice would be Pilotwings. I still go back to it occasionally, it's one of them games you can just jump into for a few minutes. I bought Nintendogs and it just didn't grab me as much as the DS title and has been sitting unplayed after only a few weeks worth of playtime.

Or the fact that handheld gaming or reading in a car is enough to enduce nausea in many people after 2 minutes let alone 2 hours. LOL, 'journalism'
Ike Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) In their PSN article they included this at the end: NINTENDO has admitted its new 3D games console has flopped. It has sold 3.6 million - 400,000 below target. Totally unrelated to the article. (Pretty sure no one has urged us to cancel credit cards yet either) I had a sandwich for lunch. Edited April 28, 2011 by Ike typo :)
Aimless Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Trying to buy a 3DS is like playing the stock market; the prices keep yo-yoing. The best deal I can currently see is Amazon: £180 for the machine, but you can get Ridge Racer or Ghost Recon with it for an extra £10. A few days ago they were at £175, though, and yesterday they had Like New machines being sold via their warehouse for just under £150...
Serebii Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Dear god, these journalists grind my gears. This isn't journalism at all.
ShadowV7 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 There was a small article in the paper in the Metro up here about the console not reacing the 4 million mark and spoke about how about dizzyness, vomiting and 'black screens of death' was the/part of the cause.

See, journalism sucks these days. They take two things and make a very specious argument
Darkflame Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Thats horrendius what did they do...use The Sun as a source?
tapedeck Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 Journalism in sensationalist shocker. Come on guys, you know how it is. Look how the British media practically killed a member of the royal family and then are all over celebrating today. The mainstream media is completely messed up and isn't about truth or honesty. It is about selling. Unfortunately many of us have become conditioned to accept what we read and not question things and thus become suckered in by what we term 'lazy' journalism. (Back on topic, I had a banana and a bacon sandwich (separately)).
Nintendo Fan Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 The 3DS i got from Nintendo has a dead pixel which i spotted yesterday, and now that i've seen it i can't keep my eyes of it grrr I sent them a email to see what can be done.

This is exactly why I won't send in my 3DS which has a very slight screen wobble, because I know something like this will happen. screen wobble > dead pixel still... I hope they fix it for you, again... properly this time.

Dante Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 THQ cancels Saints Row 3DS The once much discussed 3DS debut for gangsta series Saints Row has been cancelled. THQ confirmed the news to Joystiq, saying: "We are not developing Saints Row: Drive By." No reasons were given for the decision. The news will also be a big blow for Nintendo. It was reported last June that the platform holder had pushed THQ to make the title as it was keen to try and shake the kid-orientated reputation that surrounds its portable machines. “Nintendo really wants to launch with a very balanced portfolio. They really don’t want it to feel like a kiddie platform. They were very clear: they really wanted Saints Row on it," THQ's core games boss Danny Bilson said at the time. “I believe it will do great, especially if Nintendo is going to go mature and really do a big mature campaign on it. It’s a killer game.”
Captain Falcon Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 THQ cancels Saints Row 3DS Now wasn't this Drive By game also the one coming to XBL and PSN or am I getting confused here. If so, has it been shelved for them too? That was one of the things they announced at E3 last year, as sign of things we can expect on the system, so I'm sure they're a bit gutted on that one. My mates rave about SR2 and so I was waiting to see some details on this one to see if it could grab my attention - bit of shame really.

Yeah it was comeing for PSN and XBL but got canceled aswell thanks THQ I wanted this game why do they do this first it was Gardens and now this what's next.
Ganepark32 Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Edit: Yeah, it's officially canned now, and that includes the PSN and XBLA versions. Shame, as SR2 is great and it would have been awesome to have a version to play on the go but nevermind. Edited May 5, 2011 by Ganepark32
