Nintendo 3DS Japanese Launch Thread

Yeah I wouldn't doubt it since retail DS games had demos which was a pretty big thing with Download Play, and then they added distribution through the Nintendo Channel. Now it's going to be through the eShop. The only thing I'm wondering is how long they're going to keep demos up now.Gravijah said:

I hope they do offer demos for most titles, specially 3DSware games.
Nice find there! Good to see Nintendo catching up with online!
Here's hoping that they start getting 3DS Ware and DSi Ware demos on there!

I have some questions...
I know the 3DS comes with a 2GB SD Card... but... does the system have internal memory too? Where are the saves saved by default... on the system, cartridge or SD card?

Thank you guys for the fast responses...
I didn't know about the internal memory. That's excellent, and that means (I hope) that the downloadable games are going to be of a bigger size limit than WiiWare games (40MB).
I assume that the game cartridges are read only, right? I mean, if I play my cartridge on another system, I'm going to start from the beginning, right?

I guess I'm bored or something because I decided to keep one of the two I've preordered to resell. Traded in a bunch of stuff to amazon, so I'll have one for $101 (unless I trade more between now and launch!)
I'm also going to get some DS games for it-- SMT:Strange Journey and 999. How do DS games look on the system?
You won't get the full $75 this way. When you want to "renew" your trade-in, you have to start a whole new trade-in-- which means you go to the product page and hit the trade-in button for whatever value they have up. You can't continuously hold on to the old trade in value after it drops. Each one is a separate trade-in...there's no way to renew the one.
unless you know something I don't know about the system, in that case tell me.

MooMoo said:Yeah, I figure that's what I'll do since there's no one I can give it to or anything.
My intention is to exploit what I believe is a loophole with Amazon's marketplace reselling system. What they typically do is let you "checkout" things you want to sell back to Amazon. They supply you with an electronic shipping label and then they give you a full week (or was it two?) to ship your items in. As long as you ship within the alloted time, they will honor the resell value of the items you're selling at the time you place your initial checkout. So what I plan to do is every week after launch until the May system update, I'll tell Amazon I'm selling my DSi to them. However, I actually won't ship it until either A.) the system update comes or B) the resell price drops. If the resell price does drop, it won't matter because I'll be covered by that one week shipping buffering time. Hopefully that makes a little sense haha. It's a lot of hassle, but it's the best solution I can think of right now where I have a chance to keep all my DSiWare games and get the full $75. At the end of the day, I'll only be forking over $100 bucks for this
Even though this thing is just under three weeks away, it's gonna be a looooong three weeks. Someone save me from my midterms!

What exactly are the SSFIV figures? Are they 3D polygonal character models that you can look at in a sort of a gallery (like Super Smash Bros.)?

Why would anyone want to make it smaller?FTH said:

Everything I've seen and read has said it's very mild, not unnoticeable but also not a problem at all.Lee N said:
I mean, if you have seen one and that is your assessment that's fine, it's just that I've seen more to the contrary.
I have a 3DS, and they're using bilinear filtering to upscale the DS graphics - it's very noticable and I'm not a big fan of it. But there's always the option to display the games unscaled so it's not an issue for me...UncleSporky said:
edit: Here's an approximation of what it might look like scaled versus unscaled, only you can decide if it'll be a problem for you.
Yeah they're like the trophies in Smash Bros. It's also sort of like a separate game on the side. You get them through the figure slot machine or from entering a password (from spot pass, ads, etc). The figures go from level 1-7 each level being a different model. The levels come into play when putting together you're street pass team as you're only allowed a max combined level of 20 and you're also allowed to distribute points to character attributes.Naked Snake said:

I kinda like the blur in that picture... I assume full 3D games looks less jagged.

I'm a fan of unscaled games myself. i imagine the blurring in motion is kinda rough.

It's almost like anti-aliasing.Fernando Rocker said:

it looks like any kind of basic upscale filtering. Meaning that upscaled 3D games are gonna have that awful "blurry but still jaggy" look. It's not anti-aliasing, the jaggies are still there, but they are now blurrier.

Gravijah said:Blur vs ghosting. Which is worse.
Ghosting... it gives me headaches.
Same with low framerate... I just can't play low framerate games, and I have not played excellent game because of that.
I wanted to like Shadow of the Colossus, but I couldn't stand the low framerate. Never finished the game.

The Pokewalker was such a hit that they decided they should include the capability to support similar peripherals in all games this time, without bloating the cartridge cost with an included sensor.Yoschi said:
Unfortunately they forgot that they also included a pedometer and simple "always on" StreetPass functions built into the system, making the IR useless. As a result, it will be missing from every other 3DS revision.
Oh god.
I had five seperate customers come in today and show utter disbelief when I mentioned you don't need glasses.
'So, you need to use glasses right?'
'No, it works without'
'hahaha, no way. Wont work.'
Goddamn. Ah well, those guys havent got one preordered. I have. nananahnanah.

I guarantee after launch, when we are TOTALLY sold out (we're nearing there on preorders alone), people will rush in.
'Have you got any 3DS's in stock? My son desperately wants one!'
'Did you preorder?'
'No.'
'Then good luck finding one. Oh, and I've got one. It's awesome'.
