I bought my n3ds on 12/03/2014 but just put it in box........

Yes, and? I don't understand what your point is.

I bought my n3ds on 11/21/2014 and have played the fuck out it since.

Do you resent Gateway for making you wait? Do you think it's Gateway's fault your n3ds is sitting in a box?

This waiting is just a pain.
Sure they didn't tell us directly to buy all the things. N3DS / GW.

But advertising (N3DS Red Nail Video) is also some kind of telling us that we should buy it.
This is what advertising is all about.

Now we are still waiting to use the product as advertised.

Hopefully the wait will be over before the weekend.

Good job. Everyone forgot that you can go buy a game to play on it. -_-;

Well, hopefully the update's commin' out tomorrow, then our New 3DSs will finally find some use......well, I'm playing MH4G on mine and Project Mirai on my 2DS, so I can last.....

I will donate some of my blood, I have pure hype pulsing through my veins lol

 

[dandymanz]

Yes! I've finally sold off my Jap n3ds to a buyer who's willing to wait into the hype. Officially off the hype train now. My heart is with you guys that Gateway will release an update for everyone to enjoy soon.

it would be nice to be able to back up my new nand.

You need to add more propaganda towers on the train.

In a bit of a dilemma.. I got a XL 3DS(Fire emblem version). It was originally on FW 7.1, but I got Smash for Christmas and updated it to FW9.4 so I could play the game online with my friends who also had the game. Completely forgetting about the near gateway release.. Which of the 3 options would be the best:

• · Sell console and buy another one with FW9.2 or below
• · Wait for Gateway to release FW9.4 update(if ever)
• · Buy the New 3DS and wait the waiting game

There is not enough N3DS owners to start another hype train.

 

[Multiboy2k]

I dont think so. I think most users here dont have an N3DS yet and are happily playing their regular 3DS, therefore they dont really care what happens to us only N3DS users.

I on the other hand am just pretty pissed that they announced it so early that they'll be supporting N3DS only to have us have it wait so long. Its obviously a marketing strategy to have people buy a Gateway as a gift by Christmas announcing that they'll be supporting higher firmware SOON when in fact they're not really close to finishing it yet.

In order to appease the consumers, they quickly work on the firmware in which most people have first which is the regular 3DS and release what could be a buggy firmware. Then camouflage it into saying its a 3 launch phase (yea right >_>).

P.S. I know not much people has complained about bugs since its probably just new and no one has discovered it yet... or Gateway is just lucky, but from the sound of it from Gateway... they expect their firmware to have bugs if you look at their site.

I agree.
I feel extremely bamboozled by Gateway. I rushed imported an Aus unit, bought that useless Gateway card that I have not been able to use even once, and now have to watch what looks like a massive headache for most involved in trying to get their "Ultra" product to work on old 3ds units that arent even in production anymore on antiquated firmware! It's too much. I f I could get a refund on this Gateway, I would do it instantly. Meanwhile, my Sky3ds has been working flawlessly. I wouldve been better off just buying 2 of those units and just upgrading the damn machine. I want to play MH4 on my Aussie unit with the demo code. But, I cant because I cant upgrade to use the Eshop to download the demo. And, all I get is 'SOON' from Gateway. By the time they release for the NN3DS, folks here wont even care.
I say this because Majora's Mask will probably require some sort of special update. Im over gateway at this point. Very dirty sales tactics.

Cut your losses and get a N3DS.

The second option is right out! Unless you're perfectly fine with waiting for a millennia half a year or more, that is.

Anyhow, it depends if you're willing to spend the dosh. The first and second option is one thing, but to sell your own console? That's burning your bridges.

I would recommend you to buy a lower FW 3DS if you can't wait, a New 3DS if you can wait, and wait for the 9.4(?) update if you're really, REALLY willing, to wait for a millennia half a year or more.

 

[TragicM3LON]

I'm happy with my NN3DS right now. I don't mind waiting, even though it can suck at times... I think the wait will be worth it!

 

[r5xscn]

A lot of us who own N3DS usually already have a standard 3DS (XL). So there won't be much hype on this.

Yea, sadly I sold my XL to get the N3DS...

 

[Rokkubro]

Well, I'm expecting it to come out this weekend... As they said on the maxconsole thread, if you look carefully in the N3DS reveal trailer, the date on the system is the 17th of January.
You can see it in Madao4's post above.
Sorry if I'm repeating anyone, you probably all know this
