Re: Nintendo 3DS

Even without the 3D I think the system is worthwhile. Especially if you weren't a DS owner. Not only do you have better controls, higher resolution screens, better sound, better graphics, better operating system and online features, you'll have access to the huge backlog of DS games available for cheap now.
 
Re: Nintendo 3DS

I bought a 3DS on day one, and while the games aren't the greatest, I can, without a doubt, see its potential. I can't wait for E3 so Nintendo will show some new games. Oh, and first post, Hi.
 
Re: Nintendo 3DS

I like the 3DS just because it adds a new element for playing games. My biggest beef is that you have to hold it just right in front of you to see the game clearly. Otherwise it blurs. I think maybe the 3D effect could have been done better.

Still, love the thing.
 
Re: Nintendo 3DS

Thanks for confirming that!

I am only getting this for Ocarina of Time, so very glad you can turn the effect off.

No problem!

I think Nintendo should not have bothered with the 3D effect and released a new hand-held (which is what they did, but I mean without the 3D effect and call it something else).

It's all a gimmick and it's disappointing. I can understand people getting sick, and or strained eyes in a way they never have before.

There will be some great games to come though.
 
Re: Nintendo 3DS

250$ for eye strain? No thanks, I'll wait. (at least for the Mario Zelda games)
 
Re: Nintendo 3DS

200$ would have been a better price point. I like the feel of the system and the color, the aqua blue grew on me over time because I usually prefer a deeper blue. I picked it up because I needed a system to play DS games again, unfortunately there are no worth while 3DS games for me to pick up yet so I cannot comment on playing many 3D games other than the fact of being able to view 3D content which is not bad. Anyone on the fence about getting one should definitely wait for a title they really want or else it is definitely not worth getting yet.
 
Re: Nintendo 3DS

Finally got to play one today. Setting the 3D slider just below halfway seemed to work the best for me, but it was still kind of tough to keep my eyes focused "just right".

I'll buy the next version when it's cheaper and the 3D works better. It's a great concept, it's just not to a point yet where I'd buy it.
 
Re: Nintendo 3DS

Online functionality rollout begins in 3 weeks. E-Shop, browser and improved Spotpass functionality to be included in the update.

There are rumors that game demos will be made available in the E-shop store.

I can't help but feel this stuff should be available from launch.
 
Re: Nintendo 3DS

Fair enough, but if you don't yet have a 3DS or don't plan to buy one within 3 weeks the wait for the upcoming update shouldn't concern you.

Where did you hear this? I surf 2 different 3DS oriented sites and I haven't read this yet.

Not exactly a concrete source but during Wondercon last weekend a Nintendo rep let slip that the update was coming in early May. If true that's approx. 3 weeks or so away. This was heard by a regular on the neogaf boards that I frequent.

I hope it's true. That would rock!
 
Does anyone plan on getting splinter cell? This might be the first game I get for the 3DS. Chaos Theory is still my top game in the series so this should definitely he worth the $40.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

I really can't wait to play 3DS Ocarina of Time. I will probably get terrible 3D double vision and eventually go blind trying to figure out the dungeons again, but it'll be worth it.
