Nintendo 3DS Japanese Launch Thread

Why capcom why? I am sick of street fighter 4. I've ready played it for 2 years, played it at parties etc and am bored to death of it.

If you wanted to put all your effort into a fighter for the 3ds launch, why couldn't I have been Marvel vs Capcom. That better be coming soon.

I doubt Marvel is coming. There's too much shit going on for it to handle it faithfully.

Because Street Fighter 4 is one of their best-selling, most popular and most recognizable games, while Marvel vs Capcom has more of a niche audience. SSFIV will even pull in old veterans who haven't played any Street Fighter game since the SFII's.

And realize that most gamers haven't played SF4, because the game systems most people have are the Wii, DS, PSP.

I dunno.
Remember SSF4 is a launch game, and not fully utilizing the 3DS's hardware.
I think a little time and tweaking and they could get it to run. Or hell, maybe make the brackgrounds into 2D Animations. That would free up resources.

I'm just going by what Niitsuma said.

Some people are looking forward to it.
 
Apologies if this was asked before, I have no doubt that it was.

However (!), how is the little 'nib' on the new stylus? I don't mean the actual the tip used to connect with the touchscreen, I'm the referring to the little rounded ball on the back of the stylus.

Mostly everyone I've come across had their stylus eventually become extremely loose in it's slot in all the previous DS models due to the nib being eventually flattened.

Have they sorted that out? Does it even have a nib anymore? Appreciate any information, gentlemen.
 
I'm a big SF fan since the original SFII (played all the games prior to this generation, own special controllers, comics, action figures, anime, etc.), but I skipped SFIV on consoles, and I think I'll be skipping it on 3DS too :/

The older I become, the more jaded I am.

3D doubters won't like this new webcast: http://www.gamexplain.com/article-3...t-zelda-3d-kid-icarus-uprising-and-more-.html

From gameplay enhancements to prefering 3D to 2D flat graphics, impressions are awesome. Everything about the 3DS is covered here, most interesting and comprehensive impressions I've heard so far.

That was a very nice podcast (and video too), it reminded me how much I liked the music in Pilotwings 64, I hope Resort has familiar tunes. And wow, Star Fox looks so good! I haven't seen a video of it before damn it moves so fast and smooth... 60fps in 3D? One can dream, right?

Yeah, but it won't be the same for those making the entertainment. Comedians and entertainers in the US went to almost a complete stop after 9/11.

It wasn't until a whole week after 9/11 that Letterman decided to air a show. After him, all the other shows stared to slowly return.

Maybe we will see a rise in business, but I still think rebuilding and relief will take the biggest share of activity in the economy.

This is lemons and oranges.

Comedians and entertainers had most of their legs taken out from under them, because it would be politically incorrect to use their usual material during a time like that. It was understandable all things considered.

As for comments about 3DS sales keeping stable (or even going up) because people want escapism - I can't imagine what your world is like. If I had just lost my house, the last thing I'm thinking about is playing a video game. (I would probably wish to be playing a video game rather than watching the empty space where my house used to be - but thats another thing)

Lots of places dont have running water, or electricity. Nintendo's sales will probably flatline anywhere north of Tokyo (even in Tokyo, the shopping centre of Japan, streets were deserted today) for the next week or two, and then pick up gradually between now and the end of the summer. Minor shocks will happen for the next week (in the best case scenario), so currently people in the area are sleeping with one foot out of the door. As a result, I can see a lot of titles being delayed either as a result to loss of staff/disruption to the office, or simply because people are not spending cash.

If you want to have a economic upside to a global tragedy, then from what I understand (and I could be very wrong) - the Japanese yen has depreciated in value since the earthquake - meaning that when sales of the US machines come in - more profit comes back to Nintendo when the eventual conversion back to Yen happens. (?)
 
Sorry if this question has already been asked (and answered), but there was a rumor (by Nikkei) less than a year ago that the 3DS would have an install game feature. Is the rumor true ? Maybe a next firmware feature ? Or is it canceled ?
 
This is an OCD question, but does anyone know if we can change between the 24-hour and 12-hour time format? It always bothered me in the older DS revisions and you would think that something as simple as different time formats could be included.

Also, I'm starting to think I won't buy any of the launch lineup games. None of the games really interest me. I have SSF4 preordered, but I'm thinking I might cancel it and just get MvC3 for the 360 instead. Like, I'm trying to limit my impulse gaming buys and I'm having a hard time choosing one game between SSF4 3DS, Dead Space 2, MvC3, Pokemon Black/White, Dissidia 012D, and The 3rd Birthday D:
 
I wasn't getting SSF 4 as my first game for the 3DS but after playing it on one of the Demo-Tours here in Europe I changed my preorder because it looks and plays too great.

And I'm not even a fan of fighting games.

I believe this was a misunderstanding of the ability to install 12 different games at once for streetpass functionality. Which is already included, and works just great.

3DS won't be hurting for any fighting games. SSFIV, DOAD, BlazBlue all in first year. Damn.

First month even, give or take a couple of days.

I just wish there were any games other than fighting games for the system...
 
Are the shoulder buttons on the 3DS better than those on the DS? My original DS and DSLite's shoulder buttons became unresponsive relatively quickly, and I have to blow into them frequently to get them to respond again.

It's really irritating and makes many games unplayable. if they rely on the shoulder buttons (ie: Contra IV)

It would be nice if the 3DS shoulder buttons were designed better, not only to avoid these problems, but to allow me to enjoy all of my DS games, as well.
 
Street Fighter IV guys, check your notifications. If you didn't get one from Capcom, here is the figurine code:

lvl7 E.Honda - uUDsTlmbUN (it's an lower case "L")

Enjoy
 
Just saw the Pull N Go Folio @ Gamestop, I didn't realize how big it was. The guy that responded to me and said it was bulky was right heh. It literally is a portfolio for your DS. The smaller detachable case that is included should be useful though.
 
Aren't really any launch games that I'm interested in outside of Rayman 3D, but I'm thinking I'm going to pre-order from Amazon by the week's over...hard to resist new Nintendo hardware.

I was about to ask the same thing. Did Nintendo provide a boob generating AR card?
Click to expand...
No, but they did provide an AR application that allows you to morph the "terrain" around the AR card, creating hills and valley with a simple stroke of the stylus. Low and behold what happens when someone decides to get "creative" with it.

My Bro preordered 4 3ds to resell to desperate parents.
Did that quake affect the production lines? If it did, he's about to be one rich bastard...

The production lines are located in China, so no, they haven't been affected.
 
Man I really want something to play on my 3DS. As good as SSF4 is after triple dipping on that game I can only play so much.

Layton is fun but I only really play games like that in short bursts.

Nintendogs just isn't for me.

I even picked up Musou on a whim and well....it's musou. Pretty lame 3D effect as well.

I wonder if any stores are going to be selling Steel Driver early...

That's why I will get PES, even with a mere master league I know I will spend dozens of hours on it :)

I'm in the same boat as you. Super Street Fighter IV 3D Ed is a great game but I want something else. The only other game I'm interested in (that's launching soon) is BlazBlue Continuum Shift II and... well, it's another fighting game.

I could go for something that doesn't just serve as a 15 minute pickup here and there...
