Wait his first game on 3rd is re deadly silence ? Damn.....

first game i beat on Wii? Resident Evil Remake.
first game i beat on PS3? REC.
first game i beat on DSi? Deadly Shadows.
first game i beat on PSP Go? RE2.

in each case, i just put it in to test backwards compatibility (well in deadly shadows case i put it in to test diagonals on the d pad).

i don't think it'll be the first game i beat on 3DS... but fuck man, i can't promise that.

C'mon donkey working is for old guys, you don't wanna be that do you?

Hey you!

People with the 3DS, is there an option to connect online with the WiFi usb connector?

Just checked and didn't see any discrete choice for it.

SSFIV 3DS can be played online, right?

Yes

it's not analogue. you still need to hold the run button. remember that

Holding the run button was the stupidest idea ever. Did anyone ever walk in Super Mario 64? that just made the shitty DS controls even shittier.

Sure, that was the magic of analog controls!

 

[Hag]

Yes

Oh nice. I've been just checking DoA dimensions info so I'm a little lost on SSFIV.

I didn't think they were that bad. aside from the run button. if they kept it at auto run, then it would have been more than serviceable

I fucking hoped it would have a 3D visualizer, but I never honestly expected it to nor did expect it to look so fucking boss!

best stoner system ever confirmed

 

[wsippel]

Nope - Lithium Ion batteries don't need to be "taught" about their charge or anything. All you have to know about them is, they prefer to never be completely discharged - with Lithium Ion it's always better to charge early (doesn't hurt anything) than to let it run out. In fact many systems (like the iPhone) shut themselves off before the battery goes totally dry.

You also shouldn't quick charge LiIon batteries (charge it faster than it can be discharged). That's why the 3DS takes as long as it does. And the iPhone uses a LiPoly battery. LiIon is more durable and more expensive.

Ridge Racer 3D loading times are ~10 seconds to save and load a race... Too bad.

The Piranha Plant would wake up, though.

So if you play SM64DS, the Circle Pad will just act exactly like the D-pad, in that you do automatically run? Shame they couldn't make it use the touch control on the pad where you can control your speed like an analog stick would.

Man this is hype indeed. Haven't been this excited for a launch since Twilight Princess.

To do that, it would be the same as making the game analog compatible, except just adding an extra step of complication to it.

So that is less likely than having the game work with the analog stick itself.

And yes, the analog stick only works as a D-Pad for DS games, because DS games weren't made to use the analog stick of the 3DS.

How many launches have there been since then?

I don't get it : with so many consoles out there in the nature, we still don't have the final specs of the thing ? Come on....

This is actually how they handled it in Super Princess Peach. It worked pretty well.

Hey, there hadn't been a new 2D Mario platformer for almost a decade. Yes I played the next-closest thing.

Well I'm including game launches in this as well.

It would be like all the clunky PSX games that were released after Sony ditched the digital only pad and released dual shock. Yes, you can now use the analog pad. But it's just mapping the d-pad to the analog stick. Unless you hate the d-pad, it's really the worst of both worlds IMO.

Shame they didn't think ahead for this very reason; making it analog compatible, even though you wouldn't notice it with the D-pad, it wouldn't have taken any extra effort to have done I'd think, at least for SM64DS, the game on the N64 was made to use analog, they TOOK it out.

It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure Nintendo would use an analog substitute for the DS's eventual successor.

 

[Kenka]

I hope they will. The specs themselves don't seem to be the bottleneck of the system though : the screen itself won't allow anything like long-range view, open world gameplay and such things. We'll most probably won't end with current-gen RPGs on this console, which are arguably the most specs-demanding genre as of now.

considering the potential costs of NGP development (to take full advantage of the system), I get the feeling the 3DS wont be lacking in the rpg department

All relevant parts are custom made. Unless someone either hacks or decaps the system, we'll know shit. And even if someone decaps the two main chips (which is quite expensive, but I guess it will happen), we still don't know the clockspeeds.

May the divine force hear you. I am no NGP hater at all but I am more enclined to spend money on only one system. And I guess the 3DS has the upper hand right now.

Nothing will hurt as much as buying an NGP solely for the Persona series.

Shouldn't diss Nintendogs, that is some good shit. Especially in 3D. Those are some pretty cute puppies, I'll have you know.

So it's a dead end. Couldn't we at least knoe the amount of RAM ?

?

We were more specifically referring to open-world RPGs. Those will look like shit on 3DS screen, unless you limit long range view, which would kill a sizeable chunk of the interest.

I meant PS3-level 3D assets and whatnot. 2D games on the other hand could go both ways. I guess it depends on how much they want to spend. but that argument could be said the same for 3D games. fuck, now I'm confusing myself

The only question I wondered, and somehow forgot to ask throughout all of the previous 3DS threads...

The charging station is too large to allow you to charge your 3DS and play at the same time, right?

 

[Kinspiracy]

Yes, and then it puts a blur filter over everything. Not sure if there's an option to not have the filter.

 

[seady]

I am glad so many games support the Game Coin feature at launch. Sounds very neat.

It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure Nintendo would use an analog substitute for the DS's eventual successor.

Perhaps, but there was no way to know what type of hardware their next-gen handheld would use seven years before it came out.

Even if they did put a code that would allow for that, in the time span between 2004 and 2011 the code would be incompatible with the final hardware, because it changes so much during R&D.

But you never know, it could be possible to do it without modifying the game, like maybe a program that runs on the 3DS itself that reads the game, and starts to do a pretend version of analog by having the run button register as 'on' when the analog stick is at full speed.
