RedShell Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 I guess it only works with a Nintendo Zone AP and not with my home internet?That's right, yeah.There is a way to access the Nintendo Zone on your home internet, but it involves messing with your wi-fi and disabling the security on it. So not really worth the hassle.

-Dem0- Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) This is definitely nice to see. Japanese 3DS owners for now though.

-Dem0- Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Standalone Pink 3DS XL will arrive in the UK on 31/5/13. That's a surprisingly decent shade of pink. Definitely better than that wishy-washy pinkish XL in Japan.
Aneres11 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 @Aneres11 will be so excited. How stereotypical of you. And no, it looks ghastly.
Magnus Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 How stereotypical of you. Well, you do seem to love the Peach 3DS. :p
Aneres11 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Well, you do seem to love the Peach 3DS. :p Yus. So much so I'm buying one bitches!!! But that one is nasty.
Mike Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Ah man, I was really hoping that a new colour would be announced before my birthday in July, but I didn't want it to be pink! You've lost (or at least delayed until another colour is announced) a sale, Nintendo!
Aneres11 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 So it happened... Now to decide if to transfer all my details over and actually use it or just gaze at it...? It's so damn shiny... I'm in love.
-Dem0- Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Haha, I'll admit that does look nice! Almost forgot how glittery the standard 3DS was.
Magnus Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 How much did that cost you? Or were they just happy to get rid of it? :p
Aneres11 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Lol it was £165. Which I was more than happy with given that a normal 3ds is around £130. It will hopefully arrive on Thursday. My 3ds never leaves the house so there's no worry about me being beat up for having it. It's easily my favourite of any 3ds model i've seen so far and I have loved it since the competition ran originally. Gutted I missed out on it then. But still, it's now mine!
nekunando Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 It's easily my favourite of any 3ds model i've seen so far.. I really like the Toad 3DS.. If I could somehow get that for £165 I'd be all over it
Aneres11 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 See I think the Toad one is just ok. But the red on the lid is really glittery too whereas most pics make it look just like a flat shine. So I reckon the toad one will be much nicer in the flesh. The mario one is easily the worst. The blue and red looks terrible together.
-Dem0- Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Fan-art of a Game Boy themed 3DS. I think it actually looks nice.
Aneres11 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Holy Mother of God that is beautiful. If only it were real!
Hero-of-Time Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I would pay a large sum of money for that beauty.
-Dem0- Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 RUMOUR Dragon Quest Monsters 2 remake. A recently registered trademark in Japan hints that Square Enix may be planning to remake its 2001 creature-battling RPG Dragon Quest Monsters 2. The trademark for "Iru to Ruka no Fushigi na Fushigi na Kagi" – yes, that's two fushigis – translates to "Iru and Luca's Wonderful Mysterious Keys." Iru and Luka were the stars in the Game Boy Color's Dragon Quest Monsters 2. http://www.joystiq.com/2013/04/26/rumor-japanese-trademark-suggests-dragon-quest-monsters-2-remak/
BowserBasher Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 I really like the Toad 3DS.. If I could somehow get that for £165 I'd be all over it Hey cool, that's my one. Just wondering if you searched for the image via google or remembered it from when I posted it on here once?
Rummy Posted April 29, 2013 Posted April 29, 2013 RUMOUR Dragon Quest Monsters 2 remake. http://www.joystiq.com/2013/04/26/rumor-japanese-trademark-suggests-dragon-quest-monsters-2-remak/ I'd give a shit if they actually got around to bringing Terry's Wonderland 3DS to the west, but almost a year on and there's no sign - won't be holding out anything of this remake for us. DWM was such a banging game, and I'd LOVE the remake - but it's just so not a thing here
-Dem0- Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 One man's Gimmick is another man's treasure. Kokoris is stereoblind, unable to perceive depth. Both of his eyes function but he is slightly cross-eyed, leaving his lines of sight to diverge about a foot away from his face; as he puts it himself, "I have double vision all the time." George Kokoris: "[T]here I was, holding this little chunk of plastic and silicon in my hands, tears streaming down my face because I had never known it was possible for reality to look this way—for things to look as solid as they feel. I couldn't look away. I got a 3DS of my own the next day, and later replaced it with an XL. I revisited Hyrule in Ocarina of Time 3D, stopping and staring at every piece of architecture. I still spend more time running aimlessly through Super Mario 3D Land's gorgeous environments than I do trying to beat the game. Wouldn't anyone, if it were the only place where things had volume?" http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/05/3ds_gives_stereoblind_man_a_window_to_the_third_dimension Certainly is a lovely article.
Aneres11 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 So my Peach 3ds turned up today. I say turned up, I more got it myself. Very long story. All to do with dog shit Royal Mail. Anyway. I absolutely love love love it. And not just because it's Princess Peach stylee. But because it has made me realise how the original model totally and utterly owns the XL. I love my XL, don't get me wrong. But the minute I got the Peach one in my hands and fired it up I knew I couldn't go back to an XL. The screens on the XL are obviously a huge draw, but seeing the difference in sharpness when they were side by side was pretty startling. I can only imagine the difference it makes on games like NSMB 2 etc. Will test that later. I know we all discussed this when the XL first got released and I remember commenting on how disappointed I was with the finish of the XL. Part of my thinks I got lucky with this Peach 3DS though as it is totally unused. When I turned it on, it hadn't had a system update for about a year and a half I'm guessing. I closed the lid and opened it again and it took 5 seconds or so before the screen fired up. As soon as I updated the system though (took about 10 mins!) it was running just as quick as XL. It shows these updates clearly go a long way haha! Another thing I've noticed with the original design is the buttons are a lot more responsive with a satisfying 'click'. Now I understand that not every 3DS is the same, and I don't remember the buttons on my original one being so nice to press but it certainly wins again over my XL's - which in comparison feel a bit mushy. The last thing I wanted to comment on was the screen colour. Most people know that Nintendo's handhelds often get built with a screen that gives off a yellow tinge. My original 3DS was crisp and white (almost bluey!) and I had a Mario 3d Land bundle with the Ice White 3ds to replace that when it came out a few years ago. The ice white model had the yellowest screen ever - it was awful. My XL is decent enough - no yellow tinge, but not quite brilliant white. More good news with the Peach one as it is just like my original and is crisp white! Anyway, I am looking at transferring all my data over from my XL to the Peach 3DS. Never done this before so I have a few questions. I understand all downloaded games will go over. Will all my saves go with that too? Will I need to swap the memory cards over? The XL comes with a 4gb memory card over the originals 2gb so I was going to swap them anyway! Also, I'm guessing my friend code will change? What about activity history? Anyone know if that goes over too? Any help would be appreciated before I do the transfer! Thanks y'all.
