Hardware New 3DS Topic

[_elf_]

I feel your pain I have an Ambassador N3DS to and on my old 3DS XL all my Ambassador games
But, i updated mine to 9.4 to do the system transffer , the only reason, i want to keep my Ambassador N3DS clean, no warez, no homebrew, only legit stuff and play online/have eshop access AND i want it to have all my Ambassador games on it to
Sp basicly i have an old 3DS with Gateway and sysnand 4.5 and emunand 9.4, a 3DS XL with 9.4 (for sky3ds) and a N3DS with 9.4 for all my bought games (and thiw will be updated with all the newest updates from Nintendo)



There's more to hate:
- The power button: damned it needs very hard pressure to hear the click and turn it off (or you need to use your nails)
- The Top screen: I can wiggle it with my 2 pointing fingers while holding the N3DS
- The removable backplate: Screws are tigh and still it feels lose, when playing i hear the backplate clicking to the back everytime i move my other fingers
- On the hinges, on 1 side you can't put in a piece of paper, on the other side i can put in 3 layers of paper
- The top screen: When rubbing over the screen corner my nail sticks in the space between the screen and the plastic, on the other side it's so close it feels like the glass and plastic is 1 piece
- I hate the color buttons, the coloring washes off on the white plastic it seems
- The ZL and ZR buttons on the top or very hard to press without pressing the L or Z when you have small hands

Yupz it really feels and looks like this unit is made on a monday morning after a havy weekend of partying!

Maybe it's a personal taste thing.. cuz I love the power button.
The ZL and ZR thing is hard for people with small hands indeed. My wife tried and pressed L/R without wanting.

You know Nintendo. Making a few buck until some Home/Handheld hibrid is announced..

What's up with the stylus?

The stylus is very small (came from an XL), is located on the bottom (weird, but better than the original) and is a kind of ugly xD

I think I'll be buying a red new 3DS XL, I had a Flame Red 3DS and I found that mettalic red looking just gorgeous;
I'll wait until I see one personally so I can decide but so far it seems that will be my choice.

I was lucky enough to nab a MM edition pre-order last week. I've been surviving off of my OoT 3DS this long and have wanted an XL for a while, but couldn't justify the upgrade until now. I do like the metallic models too and am a bit disappointed they don't have more colors all around despite other countries having others available. I may have gone for a plane model rather than MM if not for that.

Well, N3DS is release date is just around the corner,
if you're gonna buy it day one please post your opinion on what you did think about it,
did you like or not, what's it's strong and weak points in wour opinion,
would you recommend it to anyone, you know, these kind of questions

If it doesn't move while you play and you have to move it with your own hand I don't think that's a negative.

- The removable backplate: Screws are tigh and still it feels lose, when playing i hear the backplate clicking to the back everytime i move my other fingers

Sounds like you broke one of the plastic tabs while removing/replacing it. Many phones are made with the same backplate and this is common if the tabs are broken.

- On the hinges, on 1 side you can't put in a piece of paper, on the other side i can put in 3 layers of paper

You would rather they leave no space so the finish is worn everytime you open/close the lid? Space is needed man, you can do the same on a laptop lid.

Bought a new 3DS XL, the metallic red one, it really resembles the flame red 3DS.
I have really liked the built quality, it feels much better, not just a cheap plastic like the old XL.
The C-Stick is a lot more responsive than I tought it would be.
The 3D is much better, I have never experienced a duplicate image.
The stylus is on a really akward position, I can't really understand why it changed.
It`s hard to get used to have the catridge on the lower part.
Not very problematic to me, but having the MicroSD internal is a bit of a weird change,
and it doesn't seem to have any good reason for it.

Overall I liked it, it's not a necessary update for now but it's clearly superior to the old one
and will probably benefit from future titles. If you're not tight on your budget and plays a lot on your 3DS,
or if you don't have a 3DS, I'd highly recommend you from getting one.
