3DS Discussion Thread

Holy crap I had an awesome dream last night. I got a 3DS (I still don't have a real one). I don't remember much about playing it, but it had some kind of electro-magnetic wireless electronic control system AKA I COULD USE MY 3DS TO CONTROL ANYTHING ELECTRONIC WITH ELECTROMAGNETISM. Seriously I could like adjust the volume on my radio with the D-pad.... trippy, man... And now, some words from Shigeru Miyamoto
New Features on the May update include:

Internet browser: Use your 3DS's Wi-fi capabilities to browse the World Wide Web!

E-Shop: Buy new AR Game apps and revamped 3D versions of DS and GBA games!

Universal Remote: Control any electronics around you with the power of precise electromagnetism! Alter the inner workings of your TV and radio the change the channel and adjust the volume!*

*We're bullshitting you with that last one! rofls!

The beta of a demo of Megaman Legends 3 isn't for free ??? I'm shocked .

Why would anyone pay for a beta version of Megaman Legends 3?

Nintendo's service centre is impressively efficient and quick. Sent my 3DS in last friday and been checking the tracker every other day, nothing until today when I looked:

It shouldn't be considered as a conventional demo. According to Christian Svensson of Capcom, who spoke last week on Capcom Unity's live Ask Stream, the Prototype Demo has a significant amount of content that will surprise users.

Content that won't be in the final release? That's the only way I could justify paying for a demo at least.

Excuse me but, Chrono Trigger on VC - woo!

No online play for Star Fox 64 3D. Has this been mentioned?

http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/05/12/star_fox_64_3ds_details/

Now, I don't know the ins and outs of how simple it is to enable online play in a video game, but I'm quite disappointed by this news. For me, we're in a generation where games like these, where we have good multiplayer, should have online play to go with it.

I just feel that the SF series needs to expand a little bit, and I don't see the negatives of having online multiplayer in the game. I really hope the next console SF has online play.

Ordered a Black 3DS off of Amazon last night for 164.99 and got Ridge Racer for an extra tenner .

Also, I can't wait for the Megaman Legends 3 Beta, I'll be snapping that up when the update comes around.

Why thank you Echoes. I shall put my code up on the 3DS FC Thread tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing the video on Cave Story 3D Squidboy . One of the games at the top of my 3DS wishlist for this year. All the extras of Wiiware + new secrets, and finally a retail version of the game ? Consider me sold .
