Gaming So does anyone even use the system apps?

[Ryupower]

I've used the sound and photo app a few times...more just to see how bad they were.

To be honest if you used them on DSI is nothing new not even improvement. Since i figured is was potentially based off those. The use of MP3 On 3ds as oppsed to the M4A or whatever it was called is a improvement, that was all, and the 3d feature is all the camera had offered besides those QR codes and AR games and features is nothing improved. it still uses the same camera lens 0.6MP with the 640X480 Resolution. It could least be wide screen or 2 MP.

I opened them up a few times when I first got my 3ds but ultimately I always have my smartphone on me which can do all of what I want faster and looks much better as well. For some reason I tried to watch Netflix on my 3ds and it was such an awful experience. The mini games on mii plaza are okay I guess.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Well yeah that is why i asked, i figured it was the most ignored apps available on the system. Compared to the rest of the ones you would use more. I Still find it disappointing a 3ds system has more support for things you would expect to be in console like wii u, yet there still is no music player, could least been like ps3 and play audio or videos from dvd or flash drives as well as pictures. I dunno what nintendo was thinking, their main selling point for 3ds was 3D GAME. And there still some that don't fully use 3d, or use it well, or not at all, nor did they try to improve it. I hope next portable doesn't use 3d but HD instead. No gimmicks this time. Just Console quality games on mobile. And i don't mean ports like PS VIta

Mii plaza - used to care about streetpassing/homepassing, and now really I couldn't care less - it was after I accidentally formatted my o3DS XL on A9LH.

I used the camera once last week when I didn't have my phone handy to take a photo of a business card and then transferred it off the thing for my friend.

3DS sound - used it a lot with my o3DS to listen to my MP3es and stuff. Now, not so much, since I've "upgraded" to an XL.

 

[zoogie]

Swapnote used to be fun until pervs Nintendo decided to kill it.

 

[Ricken]

3DS Sound

I use this nightly (have earbuds/headphones plugged in while playing an MP3 and use Sleep mode

3DS Camera

Just for tampering with QR codes

Daily log

Monthly, for seeing every new game I've begun

Web browser

Browserhax is pretty easy to launch, and a tad faster than the dedicated hbl.cia imo

Pokedex 3D Pro

Only to prove that Arceus is pronounced ARC and not ARSE

 

[Deleted member 333767]

What's a system app?

 

[SimplyFedorable]

really just the browser. Would really like to be able to inject homebrew into the apps like we do with h & s app. I'm its possible

 

[Alkéryn]

I just used Miiplaza and mii maker in the begining, now i don't give a fuck
also I used the browser few times (browserhax you know) xD

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

PLEASE NOTE: When i ask about browser, i mean legit use, not for hax or homebrew.

If you don't use it for anything other than hax or homebrew, leave that out of your statement.

 

[SimplyFedorable]

I use the browser occasionally for guides, but very sparingly

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I'm am asking if anyone ever bothered ot still do use these apps listed below.

3DS Sound = A music player for MP3 files on the sd card, also records sound from microphone.
3DS Camera = Take pictures and records videos in 3D, Also can scan qr codes.
Face Raiders = Preinstalled game title that you take pictures of people faces and shoot them using augmented reality
AR Games = Preinstalled games requiring Character cards Specially designed for Augmented Reality, features and games depends on the cards used, displays 3D rendered character models as well.
Daily log = View records of system usages, such as games played number of times, how long for each, date time period etc.
Mii Maker = Used for creating "Miis" Used in various games such as Super smash bros for 3ds. (Mii characters can be customized with costumes and special moves to fight in the game)
Mii plaza = If i had to describe this, it would probably be the thing you play the most if you bought a 3ds without a game to play, but not often as they require play coins which you don't get easily. One of the main uses of street pass feature. Collects people into your plaza akin to wii plaza prade, to participate in games, like exchange puzzles in puzzle swap, or travel through the find mii game
Miiverse = Social communication app for nintendo users. (Nintendo version of twiter for video games)
Web browser = Browse the internet. (NOT FOR INSTALLING HOMEBREW OR HAX)

And for bonus, these are from eshop.

Pokedex 3D Pro = Lightweight pokedex like app that displays information for all (Most) pokemon from the game. Allows viewing 3D rendered Models and Taking pictures.
Save Data Backup = I think is supposed to copy the save data from the game card to use on the eshop download.
Smash Controller = Allows your 3DS to be used as a playable controller in Super Smash Bros For WIi U Without the need for a game.
Youtube = Obvious isn't it?
Hulu = See above.... still obvious....
Netflix = If you didn't know, is obvious.
Flipnote 3D = A drawing app to create "Flip note" Animations.
Swap Note = Send messages to people on your friends list.

So i am just curious if anyone ever bothered to use the listed apps or still does.

I used to play AR Games and Face Raiders a lot when I first got a 3DS, cause there weren't many games out for it and none of them were especially good. I haven't played them since good games started releasing. I even played with 3DS Sound and 3DS Camera a bit. I don't use the others much. Swapnote doesn't even work online anymore so that's useless.

mii plaza of course for streetpass and games
daily log very rarely
browser rarely to quickly check gamefaqs
swap note was great while it lasted
flipnote is fun and a simple paint app
only 3ds has youtube and netflix
nintendo video is also dead now

on 2ds i actually bought the smash bros wii u controller app just for testing and it works great, not optimal of course but useable on 2ds

To be honest, i am still disappointed the smash controller app isn't free. Of course if you own the game, is in there, but why isn't it just free?

 

[osm70]

I use settings a lot.

 

[Deleted-379826]

System settings, that is all

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Clearly the most recent post didn't read the first post that specificly list the apps being asked about cause SYSTEM SETTINGS Wasn't on the list.

And now i shoot at you.
