I bought a 3DS Today

I feel horrible about posting this, or even admitting it, but I bought a 3DS Today. We get a bonus on our next paycheck at work so to be honest, I saw no harm. Still got $250+ in the bank. Price drop really helped, as did the employee discount I get.

I feel like a bit of a Hippocrate cause I did bash it quite a bit when it first came out, but to be honest. It's a pretty good system, I bought one in Cosmo Black and bought Zelda to go with it. So far I've been loving it, and I only have one issue. My DSTwo doesnt currently work on it, but I'm workin on that, 3DS is still on Menu version 1.00-01U

I actually think I'm looking forward to some of the huge releases, like Starfox, Mario Kart. Hell, the thought of decent 3DSWare tickles me pink. Hoping we get some Blazblue and at least some decent rpgs.

Sorry for such a short blog, but it seems significant enough for me to warrant posting.

Yes, agree it is a awesome device.

3D videos,games, pics... 3D everything! :P

Benefits I found about 3D.
It can make the game look twice as big.
Make the characters stand out more form the background.
Judging distance made easier.
Of course pop outs and depth in general.
More stuff,but I can't think off them right now... :/

Hmm...

Look at my sig for games. (Not updated I believe)

Edit: Make post more meaningful.

I just became this much more intrigued!

I shall inquire my curiosities into the path you hath laid before me which is known as a hyperlink in the next posters message my good fellow.

Is it the traditional fighter style. I don't think I've played Blazblu since Calamity Trigger to be honest, and even then I played casually (Who gives a crap if your the world champion if you cant go anywhere without being harrassed by fans, ya know.)

What I really want to see is a 3D remake of Megaman Battle Network 2 on the 3DS. It must have kickass music remixes....especially these tracks

Boss Theme

WWW Area Theme <- Always makes me feel somewhat evil and diabolical for some reason.

VS Gospel Theme (Best Final Boss theme in the entire Battle Network series)

Do that Nintendo/Capcom, and I will name my kids (When I get married and have them one day in the future, whenver that happens) after something related..

Naw, JK, but I would die of happiness if they remade MMBN2 on the 3DS
 
I bought mine at launch day (I should have waited a bit longer but well I can't change that) and I'm quite pleased with it. I thought 3ds firmware was like 2.x nowadays. Mine is a Cosmo black too. I chose that color because my girl didn't like the blue one.

Congratulations I have the same setup cosmo black 3ds and a DStwo it is awesome you will be very happy. You should definitely check out the Nyco extended life battery and charger dock. I have seen them priced from $20 - $30 and it is a great investment, ENJOY!!!!!
 
Well I won't agree that the 3D is a popout 3D, rather it's more a box 3D, like instead of popping out, it's popping inwards like a 3D Box.

It pops out on certain items, like when you found an item in zelda, the pencils in that activity log and much more. because honestly, how would you play a game that's outside the screen?

Capable both ways, developers prefer in depth because it offers more to gameplay.

Agreed. AR Games - If you take a very very close snap of the dragon (about 5 in?). It literally pops out.

DOA Dimensions - Tried Kasumi yet?

Yes, I meant I was a hippo...wait what!?

I lol'd.

But yeah, got my DSTwo going on it, wasn't that hard. Loving it, and I found that BlazBlu title, which seems to be a Super-Deformed variant of the traditional. I'll download it next payday.

Still loving the joypad/stick, it's actually way better than the D-Pad by a long shot. The whole thing seems more sturdy and well-built, and doesn't seem to have obvious weaknesses in the hinges. Me likes that..

Apparently unbeknown to me you get a free 2GB SD Card pre-installed in the console, this made me go "D'awwwww, someone at Nintendo actually cares!" I have a 4GB one though, so I'll just keep this one as a backup or something.

Still no way to make your Mii's have Blue/Green/Purple/WhateverUnaturalColor hair or whatnot, which disappoints me, but aside from that.

Oh and just for the record, I'm a "Typo God", but I try to spell stuff right the first time. Sometimes my fingers or mind just work faster than the other.

Dude, put and view this on your 3ds and move the circle pad all the way to the left and all the way to the right. Link

See? No more doubt. :P

Anyway, how did miss seeing pop out 3D at least once?

Most devs use the 3D well, now it time for them to stop holding back.

More/stronger depth and 3D plz. :lol:

No dev will seriously focus any game on 3D considering how imperfect the technology is and the fact that it's not accessible to a good deal of people (either they can't see it at all, it looks bad to them, or it gives them headaches).

I think they will. Shovelware sells well enough on its own, but when 3D enhanced and show off in the store sales are bound to go up.

But then again, that's just a shovelware related conjecture.

When was the last time they showed off shovelware in stores? Almost every store demo is just Nintendo Game X. Shovelware sells on being "buy it before you try it".

....Dude ... they already put 3d in games pretty well (other words they already have) and about those "not accessible to a good deal" , those people can
adjust the slider if the initial level of 3D is to much. So, a crazy amount of depth and more 3d isn't far fetch.


"How imperfect the technology" there is only one "problem" and that viewing angle(or what ever you call it).

Plus ,come on man, let me have my moment.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
