JULY 28TH IN THE UK

holy fuck that's only a month away!!!

 

[Glorified G]

How would I transfer my eShop games over? I

Shouldn't have bought them in the first place.

 

[MatthewB92]

How would I transfer my eShop games over? I

Easy with the transfer system built into the 3DS.

are ambassador games transferable to another 3ds?

Yes

 

[fse]

are ambassador games transferable to another 3ds?

 

[Data West]

Wow, if there's no white for US or EU, fuck that company. A big part of the appeal is it looks like it would match up with the constantly white WiiU pad.

 

[Adr1an]

Could Nintendo really not add in a second analog stick. -.-

I'll probably still purchase it anyway

 

[Skilletor]

It's white and big! GIMME!

No second nub? There's freaking space for another nub.

Weren't you complaining about how big the Vita is? lol

I'm trading my 3DS in for the superior, larger version.

 

[Tenbatsu]

Think I am trading in my blue 3DS for a XL

 

[DR2K]

Does the DS charger work on 3DS? Cause I found an old one.

 

[Effect]

NM. Wrong thread.

 

[TreasureHunterG]

Nintendo is a joke right now. What's the point in doing the second analog stick add-on if, in the end, you won't add it into a revision?

Nintendo's direction is completely lost in the dark.

 

[Agent_J]

..

 

[Teknoman]

Gimme that Black 3DSXL. Transfer, sell, profit (not really but still). Probably better 3D sweet spot, and also get a DS XL in the same swing.

 

[grimshawish]

Why didn't Nintendo just make this their E3 show. This is already way better.

E3 is just not the event anymore. I think Nintendo prefer quietly explaining stuff as oppose to the big stage anyway.

 

[Vamphuntr]

I'm ready for my second rounds of ambassador games :O

 

[Kaizer]

Will be trading in current 3DS when this comes out.

 

[Eiolon]

Man, instead of making a Wii U where the game is streamed to the controller, Nintendo might as well just released this and made a small wireless receiver to the TV to stream the game to that if you wanted to play on something larger.

 

[DR2K]

Weren't you complaining about how big the Vita is? lol

I won't be using it as a portable.

 

[jett]

No AC adapter makes no sense.

I personally don't see the point of the larger screens with how low-res they are but whatever.

 

[Jade Knight 08]

WTF?!? No second stick. Bbbbooooooooo!!!

 

[thiscoldblack]

This caught me by surprise. I will definitely get this and give my current 3DS to my wife. I always liked the DSi XL more than the normal DSi.

Very stupid decision to not carry an AC adapter. Hopefully NoA will fix that mistake.

 

[Rollo Lawson]

Didn't Miyamoto say they weren't doing this...like...10 minutes ago?

 

[Zenaku]

Oh, and DS compatibility hasn't been removed.

The slide showing battery life for the 3DS LL on the Japanese stream listed battery life while playing 3DS games, and while playing DS games.

 

[Alex]

There will never be a second stick, FPSes are a small sliver of the Nintendo handheld world and it'd mean getting rid of the IR since two devices can't use the IR Bus at once.

Yeah, because only FPS's use the second analog stick. It's not like any other games have cameras or anything. Luckily with Nintendo my standards are so low that I'm never really let down anymore! =/

Although if it really didn't play DS games, I'd be let down enough to just stick with my original. I have enough clutter as is.

Oh, and DS compatibility hasn't been removed.

Hooray! Seriously, Nintendo is like a mobster, I'm thrilled just when they decide not to fucking break my thumbs.

 

[Chesskid1]

will we be getting hands on/offscreen pics today or will we have to wait?

 

[jediyoshi]

No. And they won't. Ever. Just like they'll never add another stick or increase the screen resolution. The specifications are what they are.

 

[kittens]

Shouldn't have bought them in the first place.

Pretty much. I've had a 3DS for over a month and have refused to buy eShop games cause of them being locked to the system.

 

[phosphor112]

Dual Analog-Stick GAF, don't fear. They have a new peripheral announced for the 3DS XL.

 

[Gospel]

Does the DS charger work on 3DS? Cause I found an old one.

Only the DSi and DSiXl ones do.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

man those NA version are fugly. This intrigues me, as the small screen was a chief compliant of the 3DS for me. Still with they would have put a better analog on it (maybe an actual stick?). 2nd stick would have been nice, but the fact that it's not on there tells me it won't be supported much. $200 is a bit steep but I'll have to see how the screen looks in person. Still, those NA versions are fug.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

There will never be a second stick, FPSes are a small sliver of the Nintendo handheld world and it'd mean getting rid of the IR since two devices can't use the IR Bus at once.

He second analog is used for way more than just FPS games.

 

[Lord Error]

Jeez, this thing is going to have the biggest pixels since the C64 multicolor mode.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

$200 is too damn much. i'll get one when it hits the 100-120 price point. by then, there will be more games to pick up as well.

Considering the recent 3DS models are $170, last I checked, I say $200 is reasonable because of the larger screen.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I think Ill stick with my regular 3DS

 

[Jinfash]

Can't wait to play Kid Icarus on this thing. It'll be quite the workout.

 

[Instro]

Eh, don't see much need to replace my 3DS with this.

 

[wsippel]

Was used by about as many games as the Circle Pad Pro.

 

[DR2K]

Only the DSi and DSiXl ones do.

Fuck. Guess I'll buy one on amazon or something now.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Hmm... what does being ~2x the screen size but the same resolution do to image quality out of curiosity?

 

[Durante]

So, 1cm² pixels?

 

[Kagari]

No AC adapter makes no sense.

I personally don't see the point of the larger screens with how low-res they are but whatever.

More importantly... it's probably still region locked ;-;

 

[SabinFigaro]

Looks nice.

No reason to upgrade though. Larger screen is not a significant enough factor.

 

[vic2020]

so will this straight up replace the current 3ds or retail along side it at a higher price?

 

[BigTnaples]

No second stick? Wtf.....

Guess I am keeping my launch 3DS...

 

[SoulPlaya]

No second stick? No buy.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

Didn't Nikkei say that there was going to be a resolution bump?

 

[Father_Brain]

StumpokaPWNED *smug*

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Also in red and blue in EU.

 

[Ilive1up]

/facepalm at everything nintendo does.

no second analog stick, no AC adapter. hahaha. what the hell are they thinking? company is messed.
