Playing the 3DS in the Cradle with Layton is actually pretty good and comfortable to play mainly because of the viewing angle of the screen. For like like Ridge Racer and Street Fighter is near on impossible to play the 3DS while it's in the cradle.

I thought maybe Madden on 3do but that looks to of not hit with the console in Oct 93. Actual release was 4 months after the season and 4 before the next season. EA repeating again years later pushing Madden on 3DS cause they can.
Found this on 3do launch.

How do you know, are you also a 3DS owner? You've taken out the cartridge and checked system memory like you would on the Wii, and there's nothing about the individual games? Nothing on the SD card if you browse its contents?

Man, how can there be so much conflicting information about the 3DS even now? Two days ago nofi posted his impressions and they included this line:
Which I took to mean that you can navigate tracks with the shoulder buttons when in standby (and nofi doesn't like it because of accidental bumping).
So can you use the shoulder buttons for music control or not?

Simple:
-- Amateur fansites/blogs written by people with a poor understanding/no understanding of Japanese who are trying to decipher technical manuals and/or system prompts and failing.
-- Amateur fansites/blogs written by people who - though they may understand Japanese - aren't very good at writing and are failing to communicate the finer details of the system accurately.
-- Professional sites running import previews falling foul of the former, but getting more credence because of their "pro" status.
-- Messageboard Chinese Whispers - "this guy on Messageboard X said that he heard read a post from someone on the comments section of Site Y who said that his 3DS doesn't have feature Z"
EDIT:
I should make clear that I'm not lumping all pro/amateur sites in the above categories, but I think the ones that do a good job are struggling to be heard among the others, and especially when we're talking about the launch of a piece of hardware in a foreign territory misinformation rules the day.

Basically what I asked -
Assuming you can continue listening to music through headphones when the system is closed, do the shoulder buttons navigate through audio tracks when it's closed?
Do games save to the cartridge as they did on the DS, or on the system as they do on the Wii?
Regardless of where they save, can you transfer saves to/from the cartridge/SD/internal?
Actually I think a brief video of the data management screens would be interesting anyway, whether it's exactly like DSi or has more/different options.
Thanks for offering Vook, you've been really helpful all throughout this launch, giving us impressions and such.

Ahaha, VOOK, that is the best avatar ever.
Has anyone that's played Pilotwings know how long of a game it is? That one review got me excited but since I can only get one game at US Launch I want to make sure it has good longevity and playability.

Well;
1. I have three tracks in my Nintendo 3DS sound app, when the lids is shut the music continues playing but the L and R buttons continue to play the 'sound effect' buttons.
2. I have a video coming soon, from what I can tell I have saves (of some sort) for Face Raiders, SSFIV3D and the Mii Channel on my system. There's a separate menu for StreetPass spots with SSFIV, Ridge Racer and the Mii Plaza.
There is a menu for DSiWare and another menu that throws up the standard 'will be available later with a system update' (I've seen this dialog in English too).
It does not look like there is any internal storage yet, games are saved on the card like the DS but 'some' data gets put on the 3DS. Probably not the entire save.
J-GAF should be able to translate my video.

Are the 3d pictures comparable to the cross-eyed/parallel viewings you can find online? Yeah, it's a novelty. However, I managed to continually return to the DSi camera and have bundles of fun with the cheap gimmicks available.
Can I expect similar from the 3DS in relation to 3D pictures?

This kind of misinformation is horrible, I wonder how many games she'll unintentionally cheat out of people.herod said:

...and there's the problem. I'm actually a little concerned by the trade-in programs places like GAME are offering for the 3DS, as I would imagine there are a number of people trading in their DSi/DSiXL who may actually require the unit - not just an SD card with saved games/apps - to carry out the system transfer and are going to be screwed out of this.
I think an argument could be made that it would have benefited owners if Nintendo had been more open about how the transfer would work before now, but given the kind of shite GAME (and other game shop) staff spew about things it probably would have been pointless anyway...

I really can't believe we have so much misinformation, here at NeoGAF... and specially because the system was launched two weeks in Japan and here on NeoGAF we have so many Japanese members.
We are still not even sure about the system internal storage. We are still not sure where the DLC is saved (when I talk about DLC, I'm not talking about downloadable eShop games, but extra content for retail games).

even if the shop isn't available until May, you'd have thought they could have a DSi transfer app available before that. All it needs to do is validate what games you have installed, and create some sort of unique one-time-use key which you can redeem in the 3DS store later on.
then you could safely trade in your DSi and just wait for the eshop to open.
As it is, the GAME tradein is stupid because it seems you have to trade your DSi in over a week before the damn 3DS is even available. So thats over a week with no multiplayer NSMB (almost the only DS game I play anymore)

Do you guys think that Nintendo will offer more options for the Miis on the 3DS via DLC... like hats, shirts and stuff?
I want glorious goemon on 3ds. 3D Impact battles goooooooooooooooooooooooomarc^o^ said:Goemoooon! Awesome! And it's cool to see Mii have been updated with many new options compared to the wii version.
FMV was awful on DS, so that's good news I guess
Wouldn't mind a simple updated collection of both N64 adventures.

We know they don't want you to trade in since the used DS Lite/i/XL market crashing will hit the new market (and thus profits...). Like with GBA they want to keep DS going except they've probably left this one a bit late to work quite as nicely as the GBA (would be like DS coming out in 2006 GBA support).mrklaw said:
As for the GAME trade-in. Well, thats one way of locking people in. You can't exactly change your mind now...

Yeah, I meant that. Free DLC for Miis or free accesories via Coins.
Also... I hope any games using Miis on the 3DS are programmed to use any kind of Miis... the Mii system on the Wii cannot be updated in any way because the games were programmed in a way that if Nintendo decided to update the Mii system, old games like Wii Sports or Mario Kart Wii, couldn't use the new Miis.
Edit: Dayum, my English sucks.
