Posted November 24, 2013 Woo Hoo! I never thought I'd ever get any StreetPass action (by virtue of the fact that I drive to work and back and live in my house!). But on the off-chance I took my 3DS XL to Birmingham for the Christmas German Markets (well made my wife carry it in her hand bag, because who's really gonna carry a 3DS XL around!?) And I got 19 hits... and an Anouma! Yaay! It could be quite addictive if I lived in London and commuted to work... but alas this'll be the last time it happens for a good few months (years...) EDIT: I didn't know there was a Street Pass Plaza Thread... sorry. We're all posting it here anyway :p Totes jealous of your Weihnachtsmarkt'ing tho! Only been to a proper German one once iirc, but I went to one in brum a number of years back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 25, 2013 I'm currently sitting at a desk with my old metallic red 3DS in a box in front of me, ready to be posted off to the lucky lady who bought it on eBay. You'd think I'd be sad about saying good-bye to such a great little handheld console BUT NOPE, got that XL now and I'm so happy I made the switch. Anyone on the fence, go for it.

Posted November 26, 2013 So in a fit of outrageous fortune, I just so happened to search for 3DS XL deals yesterday at the exact time that Amazon were having a Black Friday fire sale - and managed to pick up a White 3DS XL with Mario Kart 7 for £130. Wasn't planning on buying Mario Kart, but it was still £10 cheaper than the best deal for the console I'd found, in the colour I wanted, and Mario Kart counts in the Super Mario 3D Land promotion so I get that free too. Bargain! What's this I hear about not including a charger though?? Is it a standard USB (smartphone-esque) charger or will I need to buy one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, it's not a standard charger, the 3DS has it's own specially shaped connector. It's an extra purchase I'm afraid, but a DSi charger will do the trick (again, unfortunately, a standard DS or DS Lite charger are not compatible, just the DSi).

Posted November 29, 2013 Is there seriously no way to view 3D videos in the Youtube 3DS app!? WHAT'S THE BLOODY POINT!? THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I WAS EVER INTERESTED IN THE DAMN THING!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I figured they'd use that as a way to set it apart from all of the other YT apps. Mind you, is there even that much 3D content on YouTube? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2013 Yeah, I figured they'd use that as a way to set it apart from all of the other YT apps. Mind you, is there even that much 3D content on YouTube? Quite a fair bit. Lots of people have uploaded 3D videos of N64/GCN/Wii games for instance. Was looking forward to seeing what F-Zero GX would look like in S3D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone that's after a fighter on 3DS should stick to SSFIV or Dead or Alive: Dimensions instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 3, 2013 I only spotted today that the Youtube app is on the eShop... I thought it was comin same time as next system update (when is that by the way? I know they said December... But when in December?) anyway gave the app a quick go. Trried to play one of my own vids first and it crashed the app:p tried again with a different vid and it worked. Image quality seems poor though. I toggled on and off the HQ button and there was zero difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the system update, I don't think they specified when it would be available, other than December. So yeah, might as well expect it on the 31st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
