Really hoping Santa reminds Nintendo that they still owe me 10 GBA games

I just saw a new commercial for the 3DS and it has video recording!?,Can you plug it to a TV to see it there or upload it by E-mail..Or you can just record&see it on the 3DS console???

 

[WolfCypher]

All the Ambassador GBA games are available now.

 

[spidey-dude]

thats a good selection of games to have on your 3ds at any time really

Got my 3DS (along with OOT and Mario Kart 7) this morning. It's also the LE Zelda 3DS. Great little hand held. More impressed with it than I thought I would be.

 

[Soapy]

I'm still waiting for the inevitable hardware revision. I can't blame anyone for springing for the Zelda LE one though. I almost did myself.

 

[Benstamania]

The Zelda edition is pretty sexy... Black and gold (the metal parts are gold) as the sweet etchings... Really nice.

 

[Benstamania]

Nintendo servers are temporally down due to the mass amount of new 3DS users on Christmas morning, haha.

 

[hippie_hunter]

I got my 3DS today for Christmas alongside Super Mario 3D Land.

 

[Benstamania]

How is it? Looks like jolly good fun... I may pick it up (along with MW3) with some gift cards.

 

[hippie_hunter]

I'm loving it so far. I might buy Mario Kart 7 with my gift cards.

 

[Lily Adler]

How's the handling on the 3DS? Does it feel awkward in the hands?

 

[spidey-dude]

got mario kart for xmas - great fun, hoping i get mario from some extended family when I see them

 

[Benstamania]

Got Mario 3D Land... not challenging but man is it ever fun. Also, some of the best use of 3D so far, IMHO.

 

[Benstamania]

Demo's are supposed to hit today starting with RE: Revelations.

 

[spidey-dude]

so the demo is cool - graphics are amazing, but am I the only one who sees practically no 3d effect whatsoever?

 

[Benstamania]

Turn it up in the options. You notice it.

 

[Secret Fawful]

It was a pretty great demo.

 

[Lily Adler]

What games do you guys recommend to get for 3DS?

 

[spidey-dude]

Turn it up in the options. You notice it.

shouldnt need to do that imo the slider should control that

does anyone know if you need to do this for other games like mario kart

edit even with it set to very strong it just all looks deep in the screen as opposed to actually in 3d

 

[Secret Fawful]

That is 3D. It's not supposed to come out of the screen. It's meant to be like looking through a window.

 

[spidey-dude]

I realise but it looks like a flat image that is just a bit further back, it doesnt look 3d like other games

 

[StrainedEyes]

What games do you guys recommend to get for 3DS?

Super Mario 3D Land
Pushmo (on the 3DS shop)
VVVVV (on the 3DS shop)
Mighty Switch Force (on the 3DS shop)
Ocarina of Time 3DS (only if you really want to play Ocarina again)
Mario Kart 7 (only if you really want to play more Mario Kart)

That's basically it for right now. Ocarina is a well made remake but it is just a remake, and Mario Kart sounds like an OK game but I for one haven't been interested in a Kart game since the N64. I also think Star Fox is too short to justify the price.

 

[spidey-dude]

if starfox was online like mario kart it would be must buy - mario karts online functionality makes it must buy for me, its console quality mario kart with online play, I find myself playing it in bed some nights

I love Mario Kart, so yeah I'm definitely getting 7. I heard Ocarina got a graphics update, what is your opinion on it? I'm thinking of getting it cause my copy for the N64 doesn't want to work anymore. As for Star Fox, that sucks to hear. I missed out the first time around, so I wanted to see if it was worth getting.
