Posted April 25, 2012 I really like eShop refresh - hope they continue the two-line menu in the Home screen. ....and they've fucked it up again.... This morning eShop has two scrollable lines; one for games and downloads and another for the 'optiony type things. Now, its all mixed up up options and shopping on one line and 'best sellers' on the second. What are they doing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2012 Also, it's a bit of a shame that you can't change the folder colour or make your own icon for it; feels a bit too functional and not very Nintendo like. Oh well, I guess they've gotta save something for future updates!I think having the icon (or part of it at least) of the first icon inside a folder, visible on the outside of that particular folder would've been better. If that made any sense at all. But yeah, some more ways to differentiate folders would be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2012 I like the ability to store games inside folders but I don't like having the first letter representing the folder but being that this is how things are going to be I've just settled with sticking a symbol in front of the text so it doesn't look 'messy' currently I have... Black Star = VC White Star = eShop Music Note = apps I think that'll do for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) I've got two Nintendo zone hotspots close to my home. first it's Phones4u thats about 4 minutes away, then Pizza express thats around 15 minutes away. pretty cool. Woah that's creepy! My nearest one is Phones4u too! Of course I could always just do that trick to access Nintendo Zone at home anyway Edited April 25, 2012 by Dcubed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2012 Actually did ye all have to manually download the update this morning or did it spotpass d/l for you overnight? All previous updates (minus the 1st as it wasn't availble for auto d/l) downloaded via spotpass for me but not this one. Left the 3DS on all night expecting the update to be ready in the morning but I had nothing when I checked. Tried to open the eShop and it told me I needed to update the system so it started a manual download Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2012 Nintendo With your Nintendo 3DS system, you can enjoy more than 25,000 Nintendo Zone hotspots free of charge across Europe. Not in Ireland though apparently... not even in Dublin... poor form Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2012 I like this update. I think it shows that Nintendo are serious about using online features of their consoles to their full extent. Like many others have said, I wish there was the ability to change the colours of the folders. I'm still hoping that one of the future updates will contain some kind of in-game messaging functionality. Even if they just make the letter box app one of the apps which can be launched while in a game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) What's on the zones?! "Nintendo Zone is a free location based, interactive service that allows you to access exciting content including upcoming trailers of games in 2D and 3D, product information, 2D and 3D screenshots, Nintendo 3DS game demos and free video clips." Haven't tried it yet, but I will on my way to uni tomorrow. Not in Ireland though apparently... not even in Dublin... poor form Don't know what kinda stuff is on the Zone, but it's a shame nonetheless, is Ireland not part of the EU Nintendo? or are there some other factors that I just don't know. @Dcubed There's over 400 stores across the UK I think, what would be creepy is if we live near the same one!

Posted April 25, 2012 wheres the nintendo zone finder? Is it just the hotspot finder on intends website?! Okay it is. Bit confused as all the hotspots on available services just say all the bass stuff a wifi connection can do, so aren't these just wifi connections?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2012 I can't decide on what folders to have... I was going to separate them out into consoles, but then i liked having all my zelda games in one place oh damn you nintendo now i have to think about something again lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2012 Patching is most definitely important, btw how's your homescreen looking Ike? I've cut the Downloadables into 5 Folders. Got it down to: Might reorder them a bit later, but I decided to keep the GB games and some other download titles on the main menu for a bit to keep it interesting. Only got 2 Game Gear games, seemed a bit silly to put them in their own folder to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2012 I would have dismissed the eShop and System Settings to the folder if I could have. This is what I've gone for: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 25, 2012 What is that waiting to be unwrapped? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 26, 2012 You're right about keeping it 'interesting' Ike, I kept the 3DS downloads on the homescreen, although there's not much there it allows me to zoom in and enjoy the bigger icons. @darksnowman was you aware that you was moving a 'gift'? or do you know what's inside? it did make me laugh though!

Posted April 26, 2012 What is that waiting to be unwrapped? @darksnowman was you aware that you was moving a 'gift'? or do you know what's inside?it did make me laugh though! Its Zelda. I downloaded and played it on DSi then grabbed the eShop one as it was still free when I got my 3DS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 26, 2012 On the vita board someone said Vita won the updates as they had Skype... Weird. Vita needs folders more than the 3DS, can only fit 10 icons on the screen and it's a git to move them about AND each game has it's own icon so it clogs up even more, there isn't a game inserted bubble (as they are on vita).. such a stupid system. Can't wait to folder up all the stuff on the vita. (remember when iPhone did it too, seems like such a basic function yet all companies take an age to implement it! Patching is the big one though really, can't wait to see extra content and such. Got some extra levels on Escape Plan last week in an update, nice that Nintendo are very slowly catching up!

Posted April 26, 2012 I've only made three folders so far: * eShop and DSiWare * Virtual Console * Videos Would be better if each folder displayed an icon on it (ie. your favourite game in each one), but it's still cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 28, 2012 Can someone tell me how the patches work for games with this update? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 28, 2012 Can someone tell me how the patches work for games with this update? Same as everything else in the world. You can update there games and it'll fix bugs and add new stuff. When you go in the shop it tells you you have games that need updating so that's helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 28, 2012 The answer is we don't know and won't know until the middle of May when the Mario Kart 7 patch arrives. We don't know if it will update the game automatically in the background or if you'll receive some sort of prompt via SpotPass. Nor do we know whether you'll have to go to the eShop (I don't see why you'd need to) or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
