3DS Discussion Thread

Just tried to get on the eShop and found that there's another system update available. Ver. 3.0.0-6E.

No idea what it's meant to do though.

I just downloaded it too. I'm guessing it's preparation for the Letterbox application.

This costs about 20 quid over in Japan.

Nintendo Letter Box is live on eShop

Mighty Switch Force is out and looks awesome. Nintendo have also released a ton of Tetris.

It's great fun and it's certainly a million times better than no messaging, but it could do with some improvements. It mainly needs a better sorting method for messages and replies should be stacked together so you can keep track of a conversation.

At the moment it's just one big mess and it's confusing trying to keep up with who's replied to who. It takes ages to "Send/Receive" messages too.

Other than that, it's great. Nintendo have officially made messaging a fun experience.

I'm not impressed, I thought it would have a lot more options, useful ones as opposed to nonsense ones. It's impossible to visualise individual conversations easily, it seems so cluttered and confusing.

I really am starting to think Nintendo should give up and just let other people create these things, they seem so clueless as to what fans expect these days.

I hate that I have to get 15 play coins to unlock the voice recoding option... I'll have to wait two days before I can use the feature, because I've already used up my play coins earlier today on the StreetPass Quest.

It's great to be creative and I love that fact that it is, but it's not a game Nintendo, it's a messaging system! Features like that I shouldn't have to work for, they should be unlocked the same way the other features are.

Well, it works and now you can finally communicate with people from your friend list. You can draw and write, add pictures and add voice recordings, so the options are there. Better than nothing, but it could be improved, ;]

Awkward, it needs a delete-batch option.

I forgot to mention this. It certainly does, deleting over 52 messages one by one is far too time consuming.

RE Revelations demo

Here's a run-down of the RE demo by Siliconera:

http://www.siliconera.com/2011/12/27/how-many-knife-pokes-does-it-take-to-defeat-the-ooze-in-resident-evil-revelations/

19 stabs and two kicks for an ooze kill.

We should get our demo in the new year.

This should help with drawings on Nintendo Letterbox

Out tomorrow in North America:

Bionic Commando (Gameboy)

Nintendo have updated "Super Mario Bros" in Japan (3DS Ambassadors), owners should expect an update here soon.

No, I asked Capcom's Christian Svensson about this last week, he told me the company was working with Nintendo to get the demo out as soon as possible. Now that it's available in Japan, it will surely be available here soon, within the next couple of days is my guess.

Check the eShop on New Years Day.

Just a tip, Bionic Commando is also released on the UK/EU eShop tomorrow as well.

Also, Link's Awakening DX is the best selling VC title on the eShop in 2011. In both UK and North America.

Nintendo really got it wrong re-releasing titles like Super Mario Bros on 3DS Virtual Console. It should be one service like PSN so you can download a VC game on Wii and transfer to 3DS, and vice versa.

By the way guys, multiple videos are starting to cause slowdown in threads for a few people. So if possible, if you're going to embed vids, please could you edit any of your previous video posts on the same page so that it's just a URL link instead? A few embedded ones is fine, but a few too many causes problems for those with poorer computers. I'll make a few edits myself now, just to bring it down a bit. Cheers!

Love Plus 3DS...

That's hilarious!

Help! Does anybody know where I can get the cyber slide pad covers or their equivalent for the 3ds. A UK retailer would b preferred but an online retailer with UK shipping would also b great. My giant hands r in need of some grip

Day one purchase for me...

I sent a Tweet to Sunsoft Games yesterday:

@sunsoftgames BIG Thank you for "Trip World" on 3DS VC!. Can we please have the equally awesome Batman (GB or NES) on the service also?

Reply:

@sunsoftgames SUNSOFT

@********** Thank you for giving a message! 3DS VC.....now, "Trip World" & "Blaster Master Enemy Below". If decided, we will announce you!

In another message I also asked about bringing "Waku Waku 7" to Wii's Virtual Console in the West, as well as asking them to release "Astra Superstars" and "Galaxy Fight" on current platforms.

The next e-shop update is going to be very interesting...

A RE: Revelations demo for NA and Europe is coming.

In the case of NA, we're awaiting our date confirmation and code approval from NOA (we have a tentative from them, but I'll have to keep you in suspense).

When we have something more concrete to share, you won't be able to miss it on the Capcom-Unity blog.

My guess is Friday 13th in Europe and North America. http://www.residentevil.com/revelations/index.php

Got my DL code for Kid Icarus 3D Classics. There's no mention of the Limited Edition 3DS they're giving out..I hope I haven't lost out.
