It's not. I just ran to the car and pulled it out of the box right now. It's currently charging at my office. Hopefully it won't take too long before full charge. Shitty black looks sexy though.

Take a pic in a few hours when it's covered in fingerprints.

From HD to 3D without glasses.
Yeah, a new gen is certainly starting, and I believe we will quickly get used to this relief display. Very quickly.

I don't know how to tell you this, but I think your duck may be a vampire.

I'm going home now to hook up my Virtual Boy for the first time in half a decade. I hope it still works!
 
The blue 3DS does look better... I only realized it just now. :(

The blue one seems to glisten like a starry night sky. You can only really see it in videos (or in person, I guess). The purple one Iwata showed off at E3 looks even better, though.

I want to experience the feeling of waiting in a Japanese line. One day. Maybe when the PS4 nears release.

you could always do the ghetto version and try to buy something on black friday

I'm already doing the ghetto version. Unless someone tells me that waiting in lines for hardware is a shared shitty experience in both Japan and America, I want to believe that waiting lines in Japan is more awesome.


Why would you do that? said:

Until you turn it over and it's like 1980's day-glo all up in your face.

The red one looked best.
Red with the black top inner portion and a black analog stick would be gorgeous.

its a Nintendo system he can let it dry out or blow on it and turn it back on LOL

lol Yeah, I remember I put a pocket full of a few GBA advance games through the wash and they came out fine, sans the labels. Never spilled anything a system though. Don't plan it, either... I keep drinks way away from any kind of tech other than a keyboard.

RIP Breath of Fire 2 GBA. Went through the washer... Does not save anymore. :(

Nothing is even remotely comparable to the purple.

Orange and Green were better.
 
Still charging, but since most of the directors have left for the weekend, I at least got the damn thing set up and ready to go minus wifi for now. Gonna have to wait until I get home to get that going.

3DS is another banger by Nintendo, or should I say smanger.
 
So you can take 3D photos with it right? How impressive do the pics come out? I wanna know if I should look forward to showing that off when I buy it in a year :p

Doesn't the battery life suffer if you use it during the initial charge? I thought you had to charge it fully before turning it on even once.

0.3 megapixels impressive. Although I'm sure they will look fine on the 3DS screen.

Right. Which is why the demo units are caked in fingerprints.
It has been confirmed that it does use anti-fingerprint coating. The demo units you see just don't have them wiped away clean.

Yep!

Since "last" gen was:

DS, PSP, Wii, 360, PS3.

Now it'll be:

3DS, NGP, Wii HD, 720, PS4.

For the lack of better console names obviously. :p
 
The first staff member has arrived, and will be handing out line vouchers.

Also, Yodobashi should now have started selling the 3DS.

It's the dawn of a new generation!
