Dante Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Iwata Asks - 3DS XL Summary - - Upper screen's size was decided when they were done prototyping - set screen size goal that makes the 3D more appealing - To do this, Nintendo used a Special Process model for Big LCD TV - They also used a new method to reduce energy consumption - this discovery came late in the game, which is why it was held off for 3DS XL - found that 100 ppi was suitable for 3D effect - the speaker setup was a tough one to tackle due to the new beveled edges - they considered moving the speaker positioning to the lower half of the 3DS - the discovery of a longer speaker was found, which is what they went with - the speaker is slightly smaller than the 3DS speaker, but they optimized performance - the plastic resin used with the 3DS XL contributed to the size - Durable resin means a more difficult forming/coloring process - the systems ended up needing a double coating - multiple calculations were done to make sure they could get use space in the best way
canand Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Has anyone Orderd any consoles from Tesco Entertainment and if anyone has do you get your consoles on the day they come out or a week later becuse I phoned them up and they said it comes out on Saturday so I get it next week
Kaxxx Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I ordered my original 3DS from Tesco Entertainment and it arrived on release day.
Serebii Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 My concern is with ShopTo. Their delivery says "Next Business Day"...
yesteryeargames Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I was that crystal 3ds xl I went with sainsburys for £161.99 are they any good for release day delivery, Im really excited to get my hands on one.
Dcubed Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Well Shopto have taken my pre-order for New Art Academy (which comes out on the same day as the 3DSXL), got the confirmation email. Hopefully that means that my 3DSXL and New Art Academy get shipped tomorrow (can't remember how it usually goes, but they're usually very fast and are happy to break the release date on software) Edited July 24, 2012 by Dcubed
RedShell Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Hopefully that means that my 3DSXL and New Art Academy get shipped tomorrow My copy of FreakyForms Deluxe got shipped today (also out on Friday) but not with the XL... unfortunately. Pretty sure they use a courier service for hardware though, so I wasn't really expecting them to be sent out together.
Strange Cookie Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Yep, I'll be having the red one then. Have no idea what they're saying, but pretty pictures tickles me eyes.
khilafah Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Eurogamer saying that Game are allowing customers to go home and transfer data with old 3DS. Is this true? If so I am guessing they charge full amount then pay you the difference once you bring the old 3DS to shop with receipt.
-Dem0- Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Short review of the XL. They compare it to the 3DS, which also includes the reflection that you get from both consoles @RedShell. not long to wait now.
Ike Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Video that shows what various games look like on the XL, although I'd say it's still hard to tell without seeing it in person. Metroid Fusion looked good though.
-Dem0- Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Yeah, I think Metroid looked good. What's the first game your going to play on the XL?
Ike Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 What's the first game your going to play on the XL? Dragon Quest IX.
Serebii Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Yeah, I think Metroid looked good. What's the first game your going to play on the XL? Was going to be New Super Mario Bros 2 but different days so probably Pilotwings :p
-Dem0- Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 I too will play DQIX. Pilot wings sounds nice, this is just from videos as I don't have the game though.
yesteryeargames Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Regarding the GAME trade in deal, how long do you get to bring back the 3ds and receipt to claim back the £100 ?
canand Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Has anyone Orderd a 3DS XL with Tesco and been shipped yet?
Ike Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Regarding the GAME trade in deal, how long do you get to bring back the 3ds and receipt to claim back the £100 ? Gotta bring it in next day according to the Nintendo Gamer article on it.
RedShell Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 What's the first game your going to play on the XL?First game I played on my original 3DS, Nintendogs + Cats. Will probably go through the rest of my collection too. Activity Log on that day is going to be interesting.
yesteryeargames Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Sainsburys just took the moneys roll on friday/sat first game i willplay will be mario kart then a starfox playthrough A question regarding the transfer, i have an 8 gig card and i dont need the 4 gig card included, will it simply be a case of swapping the cards over once the transfer process is started?
canand Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 My 3DS XL just got Shipped do I get a Tracking number from Tesco when it's a console

Hmmm. Mine hasn't. Hopefully it will be taken tomorrow and shipped too. Really hoping to get this Friday... I think Monday is more likely
