Zombie thread, RAAAGH

[ody81]

what about the emails sent to different members telling them things like for sure your son will be able to play before the holiday is over & definitely will be out by 18th jan..etc!! many emails like this sent to people for fun ?maybe it's a game to you lot or your way of getting more money out of people but to us this is called deceiving.

sorry i don't know how to do a$$ licking otherwise i would also be blaming the gw customer

Forget that, it's the constant circle jerking that makes this thread hard to read.

Looking for any tidbits of actually information requires scrolling through:

"This guys cool!" "You're right, you're cool too" "hype man" "cool guys birthdays coming up, wow, release for sure" "Who's Sony?" "Don't be a fanboy" "Don't be a hater" "Yeah, cos that guys cool"

ffs

This'd be a lot more useful if it was locked down to just sonyusa and garyopa.
But that could never happen, the circle jerk would just manifest somewhere else on the forum.

240+ pages and how much actual info is here beyond the bullshit? probably about 4 posts worth.

Edit: And yeah, coming from a happy GW user (myself) they DID assure a bunch of people for different reasons over xmas and new year that the update would be done by a certain given date.

ody81 i fully agree ,GBATEMP forum was their perfect place to generate hype for their product & make thousands of sales since it's the biggest forum on the net for nintendo gamers (maxconsole is like ghost town compared to gbatemp) ,if mods locked both threads from the start then you would see the GW team & their puppets taking us more seriously,they will need to deliver just to gain our attention.

Off the topic: I have a new 3ds white (JP), do I need to buy another new 3ds XL (US)?
A lot people saying that XL is way better than the small one, but personally I don't play a lot act game like MH4U,I like startegy games like Fire Emblem.
Also I don't like the bigger pixel dots.

mmmmm, I don't disagree with marketing/hype so much as I disagree reading a (supposedly) informative thread and have to get through the sludge the mods don't remove.

The majority of the thread belongs in the EOF, why people don't take the shit there baffles me??

It doesn't matter an opinion or speculation any more relevant in the main forum, so why not take it to EOF and leave this space for news and teasers (and troll shots like the still unexplained majoras mask one earlier).

If you don't mind the slight bigger size (still fits in most pockets) of the XL then go for it and enjoy a bigger screen. I've played an RPG on a regular 3ds though, it's clear and very readable.
For the record though, I used to use DSx86 on a DSlite so I don't mind small fonts on small screens as much as some people might.

 

[tony_2018]

They never once promised a release date

Exactly

The New LL is about the same size as the old LL. I have a regular sized New one, and I like it more than the LL. But I have tiny hands so you might not like it. It is so much easier to fit the New one in your pocket now.

we all fell for marketing hype.....
it's just like those kickstarter campaigns... no promises, if you want to pay, you pay....

at one time i had both the N3DS + N3DS XL & i tested all of my fav games on both of them & at the end i decided the N3DS is the better console for me for more than one reason & they are: sharper better quality image unlike the stretched image on the XL,lighter & more comfortable to hold than the XL,the hinges seems to be much sturdier on the N3DS & they don't click unlike the hinges on the XL,also you can personalise your N3DS with changeable cover plates,some covers look really nice.

also remember america only has the XL model so you're going to hear & read a lot more about it than about the N3DS.

Thanks man.
I think I will keep using my N3ds.

jeeez... what the f*ck, man? did you forget to take your nap today, and that's why you're all grouchy? seriously.. it's not circle jerking.. it's a bunch of people, all interested in the same thing, hanging out on a thread about that same thing, and chatting about all sorts of nonsense while waiting, together... .(in a circle, giving each other handj0bs) <-- sorry i just couldn't help myself.. roflmao..

this isn't some kind of serious academic forum... this is the hype train, man.. get on board, or don't!

The whining for GW release continues.....thats all it is.

How is that possible when they never gave a specific date? People can assume things all they want, but people just need to remember what assumptions do. They make an ass out of u and me.

I can actually confirm that while they did not give an exact date, they did say to me via email a few times it will be a few days, or very soon.

Here is the most recent one which was a bit odd since it says a few days until they can confirm the release date.

Give us a few days to check feedback on the new Ultra firmware and we will be
able to confirm release date for New 3DS. It won't be long.

That was on January 15th.

They also said

We have a solution for 8.1

 

[tony_2018]

I can actually confirm that while they did not give an exact date, they did say to me via email. "It won't be long now." "A few more days." "Very soon." They also said very plainly "We have a solution for 8.1."

I can definitely see GW having second thoughts about support 3ds scene after this b.s.

Those are the same copy and paste answers they've given for people bothering them about progress on any update. If you thought they meant anything other than, "it's done when it's done," you were being naive.

We don't very well know which firmware N3DS support will work with until it's released, now do we?

 

[bennyhan1985]

In "SOON" we trust

not publicly but in a bunch of those emails going around.

blah blah blah, kids birthday, bl;ah b;ah blah uni starting soon.

And the replies were, yes it'll for sure be done by then.

Not a specific date, but they did give those folks a sure timeframe.

You kinda proved my point.
Chatting about all sorts of things is an EOF thing yeah?

And I'm not grumpy till I hit this thread looking for info.
Why not keep this as a source of news or info and go continue your "train" somewhere more appropriate.
It's a confusing, bloated thread and in it's current state it's completely useless as a source of anything.
