will the apply to old ds games aswell.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say no. If they cannot apply WPA encryption to the old games, I doubt it would be feasible to make a universal FC apply to original hardware.

Al tho if it was Super Smash Bro 3D that would be a different story...

That may be the game the causes me to buy a 3DS, if ever announced... I just hope it'd be more like Melee than Brawl (or at least faster-paced).

I used to be a Nintendo fanboy to an extent, but sadly I think I've hit the age where I need to start growing up and spend (slightly) less on video games. Damn you, maturity!

Actually touch screen controls would be cool in smash ball mode. Perhaps a different command for each character for a bigger boom, damage, or longer range.

yes friend codes are universal and automatic. no more remembering codes! it does it for you
and if pirateing ever happens, i would only use it on region locked games
supposivly the 3ds is region locked but im not 100% sure
however, it is very unlikely that hacking is going to be possible since ninty must have learned from the dsi
and it took 2 + years to come with a dsi flash cart that costs $60 and is not even out yet
Ninty is not stupid when it comes to piracy
homebrew might be possible
surely if there is homebrew, there will be n64 emu
and that means smash bros 64!!!
maybe wifi for multi player

in emu?

$350 in Australia... I should just import everything from the US now..

Wouldn't you have to pay import fees on everything though? I never import DS games from Japan due to the fact that they would cost me almost twice as much for most games just to import. Totally not worth the cash.

If I were to buy a 3DS from America for $250 plus Import Fees it would probably hit around $300 dollars. In the end I would save more money.

*sigh*
EB Games AUS are estimating that it'll cost 350. Let's not forget they rip everyone off.

there isnt many game shops in Aus i only know two eb games and wizard and other store like jb hi fi but they sell music and dvds so it dosent make them a gameshop.

I'll pre-order tomorrow.

Off-Topic:I heard that the 3DS can play MP3s and AACs using the sound app.

I see people wanting to wait to get a later revision because of multiple reasons, but for those who do so because of the $250 price tag, you do know that if they do make later revisions, it'll go the same way the DS did with being even pricier, right?
the ds lite was cheaper then the regular ds

Hey to all you aussies importing from overseas. What do you think are the best sites to import?
I just want to keep my eyes open. If the 3ds retails for $300 I'll be buying it here, but if it's over that I'm definitely going to import.

There is also GAME.. They have an online website too: www.game.com.au. However, their online site is not like ebGames where it tells you what stores have what games etc. You can sometimes buy games / consoles cheaper on their website than you can in store.
