3DS Discussion Thread

Glad to see the 3ds is getting so much praise everywhere. Can't wait for next Friday, 3DS and Dissidia 012!

Also, just to add in that Amazon are now matching Morrisons price at �£187.

It's very tempting a that price, but with there being no launch games that I'm interested in, I think it'd be best to just wait. I just got Golden Sun DS and, along with Pokemon White, I'll have enough to keep me busy till the good games get released.

I'm not gonna spen almost �£200 on something when it may be months before a game I want is out. Release Metal Gear Solid soon and I may just be sold.

Looks like I'm joining the party now.

Will make that C3 3DS Friend Code thread a week from now.

Love the conversions.First Ross now you Shane Good man

I am right now a happy man, because of this;

THANK FUCK. I despise those fat DS cases.

Didn't mind the fat cases for the ds games. They were much better then thin american ones, which were really awkward xD
Although these new slimmer cases look nicer

Review Copy? Shweet! I'm going to get Samurai Warriors, I've had a look into it and it seems a lot better than 3 from what I can tell.

Oh, A word about DS games on the 3DS, apparently its not very good :/. If its full screen on the bottom but text/edges appear blurry. When you do it native, you can see everything properly its just very small and the touch screen gets letter boxed. I'll see if I can find the video with it in.

I can't find the youtube link, but here is something similar from 1UP!.com

EDIT: You're kidding right LK? the Japanese cases where by far better than our EU ones. Too much unnecessary bulk.

Me neither and I liked the fact that they were see through and had that little green mark in the corner. XD

Anyways here's footage of the first FPS on the 3DS:

Not too keen on the Conduit though, the first one was poop.

From what I've seen about DS games on the 3DS, I don't see the problem. I was happy to play original GB games on the GBA in their native format with the black edges on either side. It didn't bother me one bit. Even now, with certain PS2 games, I change the aspect ratio to 4:3 because some games look like piss in widescreen. And even if DS games do become slightly blurred if you stretch them to fit the 3DS, it won't render them unplayable. I've seen people saying they run perfectly fine, and no problems.

This is just like playing GB games on GBA. I expected the same here, and see no problem.

Amazon UK are doing a 187 bundle:

I much preferred the JP box art and the US spines, because the UK ones are boring and fat.

8 days to go

That AR shit is so fucking cool.

Dead or Alive isn't a launch title is it? On a few sites like shopto the release date is sometime in May. I'm holding off on games for a while until some better ones come out.

I think it was originally scheduled as a launch title but then was delayed.

Hmm, could be right about DOA. Looking around, a lot of places still have it down for March 25th in the UK, but the JP and NA releases are delayed. So I'm guessing a UK release is gonna be pushed back too. Unfortunate.

Yeah, I may just wait for that and Ocarina then.

I'm getting Samurai Warriors with mine.Looks better than three on the Wii. Getting it primarily to review though but looks quite fun

I just ordered another from Amazon to get the deal Squidboy posted. If Shopto beat it by Sunday/Monday, I'll cancel the Amazon order and vice versa.

For ���£10 more than Shopto, Amazon also offer a selected game, Screen Protectors and a case, plus delivery.

Whilst I like Shopto, With this I'll be able to afford another game on top, and won't have to bother about accessories
