Official Nintendo 3DS Thread

Right now, from what I've seen, I'm in no way interested in the WiiU. And this is coming from a pretty die-hard Nintendo fan, who has bought every system that has come out.

Maybe I'll change my mind, but I really hate how big that controller is, and I don't even want to think about how expensive one of those are. What if I want to play with a friend? I dunno, it just doesn't look good to me, so far.

im with you on this mate - although I'll inevitably get one for zelda

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

game in the uk is doing an offer a 3ds plus zelda for £150, this may just push me to get one

Seems like you will be able to register for the 20 free games starting next week. On Nintendo AU they say you have to send in a printed PDF with proof of purchase. Europe and America will likely do the same.

 

[spidey-dude]

i dont have proof of purchase anymore? surely the fact i registered it on stars catalgoue months ago is proof enough?

 

[Spidey-Bat]

No receipt? If you used a credit card, you can check your records there.

Zone of Enders 3DS?

If Nintendo hadn't dropped the price when they did, the definitely would have done it now with the announcement of the PS3 price drop to $249. Now the Vita is left as the handheld that looks a little ridiculous when you realize you can buy a full console for the same price.

I'm still not getting one until Mario is out.

 

[DIRECTOR]

Nintendo........ instead of free games, can i get a check?

 

[Tron Bonne]

Zone of Enders 3DS?

Cool if true. But also, sucky if true, since I don't own a 3DS and probably won't with the cancellation of MML3.

 

[DIRECTOR]

anybody know when we can start downloading the free games?

Sept 1st.

I've got a question. Is the touch screen for the 3ds the same size as the touch screen for the dsi? I'm interested in getting a 3ds since my dsi is scratched a little bit and I think a joystick for the ds sounds cool, but if the touch screen is smaller, maybe not.

I tried the 3DS at Gamestop last week and wow, I was very impressed!!

I might actually have to get one...

 

[spidey-dude]

I honestly think calling it 3DS was a MASSIVE mistake, as alot of people probably think its a ds just with 3d as an optional extra if you will

Here are the new five NES games:

-Metroid
-Yoshi
-NES Open Tournament Golf
-Wrecking Crew
-Zelda II: The Adventures of Link

I've played all of them, except for Yoshi. NES Open is actually really fun, but I don't know how well it'll hold up today. Wrecking Crew is more fun than you think, and I like Zelda II. But Metroid is the real gem.

Overall, I like it. Not my favorite picks(except for Metroid), but still good, nonetheless.

It fits... it's a dual screen system with 3D capability. But... I get what you mean.

Zelda II is one of my favorite Zeldas. But I have enough copies of it (GBA, Wii, NES still)

According to G4, the 10 free NES games are available today to the Ambassadors. I won't know if I have them until tonight.

Well, I think they're supposed to be available on the 1st, so it could come out after midnight. We'll see.....

I seriously can't wait for Metroid. It's been so long since I've played it. Now I can play it on the train when I'm going into the city.

That's a pretty annoying way to DL all those games.

 

[Travesty]

I like the Star Fox videos. That game looks great in 3D.

 

[spidey-dude]

i think its a good way personally - easy to do really

You have to do them individually, and after you DL one game, you have to go through the menus all over again.

I also hate how after you DL it, you then have to go to the main menu, and unwrap it. Hehe, it's just a long process to get to all 10 games.

I did play Mario for a few seconds, though. It feels strange playing Mario on a handheld. Can't wait to play Metroid and Zelda.
