Josh64 Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 I got my (Aqua blue) 3DS on Friday with Ocarina of Time for £130! I'm blown away so far. So many features to get through! The only gripe I have is the low quality camera, it's awesome taking 3D photos but disappointing that they are so grainy. AR games are awesome though, I love the AR golf game, really impressed me. Face Raiders is also a whole lot of fun whilst Pokédex 3D and Nintendo Video are the complete opposite and pretty rubbish :p I also noticed the lack of messaging. I thought it was me being stupid and assumed I was missing something until I came on here to see that you actually can't message friends. Either way, I am really enjoying the 3DS so far and the depth in Ocarina Of Time is just amazing - I've also never been so impressed by textures, it's a huge improvement over those pixellated hills of Super Mario 64 DS. Bring on MK7!
D_prOdigy Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 I believe Iwata hinted in a back-hand confirmation sort of way that video messaging was being looked into. I imagine it'll get its own 'app' down the line. Will probably take time though.
Oxigen_Waste Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Should I be registering my nintendo club pins? I mean... what exactly do you get from those? It seems to be nothing but inane bullshit...
Retro_Link Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Should I be registering my nintendo club pins? I mean... what exactly do you get from those? It seems to be nothing but inane bullshit...The points cards? Well they'll add up to free stuff from the Star Catalogue. If you don't want them, can I please have them!
S.C.G Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 (reposting for relevancy) Ignoring all current rumours about second slide-pads and redesigns for the future, I believe that all 3DS owners are in for an excellent first year. While it may be true that there is currently only a handful of decent games available currently, this list will have doubled in the next few months to come, Starfox 64 3D is mere weeks away plus we have Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land before the year is out. As for next year... aside from most notably Kid Icarus who knows what surprises will arise. Not to mention we'll have a fair few decent VC titles from now until then I'm sure.
canand Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Is there going to be a 3DS remake I hope not its too eley and why would they when they done a price cut?

nekunando Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I see they've replaced Ridge Racer 3D footage with Mario Kart 7 in that 3DS advert that has been on TV for a few weeks now..
Serebii Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I see they've replaced Ridge Racer 3D footage with Mario Kart 7 in that 3DS advert that has been on TV for a few weeks now.. Good. Ridge Racer looked like ass
nekunando Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 It looked pretty poor in the advert, yeh, and Mario Kart 7 will appeal to more people I'm sure I may be mistaken but the first thng they showed was actually Yoshi gliding through the sky which wouldn't instantly make you consider Mario Kart, particularly with a lack of logo on the screen unlike the other games. It is definitely good that they're letting people see it's coming, though..
Retro_Link Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Yeah but the Mario Kart footage is longer than that Yoshi clip. I do think it's a bit cheeky they have Mario Kart, and especially Metal Gear in that advert, considering both aren't out for quite some time, and MGS doesn't even have a proper release date (plus it's looking like the final build will likely look crap).
Burny Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 I do think it's a bit cheeky they have Mario Kart, and especially Metal Gear in that advert, considering both aren't out for quite some time, and MGS doesn't even have a proper release date (plus it's looking like the final build will likely look crap). When they mention "state of the art online functionality" and the 3DS in the same ad, it's definitely not the cheekiest thing in there.
canand Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I see they've replaced Ridge Racer 3D footage with Mario Kart 7 in that 3DS advert that has been on TV for a few weeks now.. Did you see the Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater advert and it says comeing out Winter 2011
Serebii Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Did you see the Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater advert and it says comeing out Winter 2011 Not the case. It says it's coming this winter. Winter runs from December 21st to March 20th and fits the delay we heard
canand Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Not the case. It says it's coming this winter. Winter runs from December 21st to March 20th and fits the delay we heard Why do you allways have to be right all the time I dont want this game next year I want it this year and why is all the devolpers keep delaying or canceling games is it because they dont like the Nintendo 3DS they should do it to the PS Vita too
Serebii Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Developers delay games so they can make them perfect. As for cancelling, only a very small handful of games have been cancelled, most of which wasn't due to the 3DS itself but the franchise ending
Ganepark32 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Developers delay games so they can make them perfect. Or in the case of Konami and MGS 3D, the delay is so they can put out the HD re-release which looks much, much better. Although saying that, I did hear a rumour that the recent screens of MGS 3D were using placeholder textures which might explain why it looked awful. NES games this time next week for us 3DS ambassadors. Thank god, because there's sod all else to play on the thing. Although, to me, it still doesn't make up for the fact that they've slashed the price of the machine a handful of months after launching it, even with the GBA games coming later down the road.

I dont now if I can get the free games becuse I dont now if I am ambassador and I can wait for Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater becuse I am geting Metal Gear Solid Ultimate HD Collection from Zavi and Serebii I am so sorry I wasent trying to be nasty I wonder what is happening on September 13th

Not so sure the delay is due to the HD releases...do you have a source for that?
canand Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Serebii I am so sorrey about being nasty to you it gets me upset when my games get delayd
Goron_3 Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Serebii I am so sorrey about being nasty to you it gets me upset when my games get delayd Mate. Seriously, get a hobby other than videogames.
canand Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Mate. Seriously, get a hobby other than videogames. I have football Big Brother
S.C.G Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 I have football Big Brother Well thank heavens for small mercies... Back on-topic, at the moment I'm not too concerend about what's getting released months/half a year down the line as I just can't wait for Starfox.
Murr Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Well I got my hands on my 3DS today Just doing the update, it's taken 15 minutes so far, and less than quarter of the way through. How long did it take everyone else?
Grazza Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Well I got my hands on my 3DS today Just doing the update, it's taken 15 minutes so far, and less than quarter of the way through. How long did it take everyone else? Nothing like that long, just a few minutes. I can only hope the reason it's taking so long is because of the accumulated updates you may need. The videos take quite a long time though.
