Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait! So is the system sexy now, or is it still ugly? Cause a few days ago, I still remember the general consensus saying the 3DS is an ugly piece of hardware, but now people are saying it's sexy. Which is it?

There is only "sexy" on launch day. Didn't you know ?

that is the power of New Sexy the hive mind of GAF on launch days

Holy shit, why does the Mii Creator face recognition think I'm white? xD

It's average looking. But compared to the NGP, it looks like a month-old piece of turd.

That's cute, and the dubbed-over music fits surprisingly well. What is that song anyway? I tried Shazam, no luck.

Edit: Got it, never figured on it being Mother music, nice.

Clearly it knows that you're secretly Demonic Jeff Gordon.

I have a sneaking suspicion it'll think I'm female.

Looks fun, I wonder if the items you get can be equipped to your Miis and are visible out of the game....

The NGP didn't make any kind of impression on me. Hell, I'm drawing a blank on what it looks like right now. I know I saw the unveiling too.

3DS is racist stories in 3... 2... 1...

from the Japan Nintendo streaming stage even yeah you had to choose your skin color first its not automatic

looks like a smoother PSP. I'm rather meh on the PSP design anyway

ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

Anyway, I'm taking pics and vid of the mii facial recognition process. It's hilarious what it came up with.

it just looks like a rounder, rubberised psp

3DS looks like a completely fucked up, shinier ds lite. it's an abomination but first gen nintendo handhelds always are

I'm more interested in how StreetPass adds to it

its like Nintendo gave us too many little games lots of surprising content XD

I thought that the rumor said you would be able to use Miis you collect in Streetpass to help rescue your trapped Mii.

 

[345triangle]

going through the settings now. it's so nice to have legible kanji after the DSi LL!

When I first got my DSLite, I was so scared I might drop it because of how smooth and slick the shell is. A few years later (I think around 2010), I had completely forgotten what the original DSphat looked like. I had to drag my old system out to remember.

You're welcome.

Hurry faster!

I was just about to ask, the music actually had lyrics? I know a few Mother songs had lyrics, but never knew Flying Man was one of them.

What language options does the 3DS have?

from the looks of the video, the game lasts as long as you have characters. with streetpass, you gain more characters. if you have no miis, you can spend 2 coins to get an armored cat.

 

[donkey show]

Yeah, I set skin, eye, and hair color initially, but only the eye color held true. Hilarious results though.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Nothing like a new Sony or Nintendo platform launch. I can't wait to try mine out next month and the NGP later this year hopefully.

 

[Truth101]

It's the Japanese 3DS so it should only have Japanese.

 

[EatChildren]

So is this system bomba in Japan yet?

 

[Boney]

You're welcome.



Hurry faster!

you thought it was a Coraline song derp

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I thought that the rumor said you would be able to use Miis you collect in Streetpass to help rescue your trapped Mii.

read something like that hope its even deeper like something you can replay 100s of times

they should have stolen from Little King's Story or My Life as a King to add building stuff

 

[345triangle]

only japanese, presumably to discourage importers.

 

[MiamiWesker]

I cannot wait to get this thing.

 

[GDGF]

Gah this wait is going to be terrible. I needs a 3DS now.


*stares at his US launch countdown timer*

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Faaack 1 month seems so far away when some of you have yours in your hands right now. Sucksss.

Also to those who have it, when you stretch a DS game to play full screen does it make it look worse? Noticeably worse? Not much different?

 

[seady]

It's average looking. But compared to the NGP, it looks like a month-old piece of turd.

While I am excited for the NGP, I thought the NGP's design felt very cheap. It looks like a cheap Chinese's knock-off, especially the bare "Playstation" text on the bottom of the system. I am sure Sony will fix it though for final release.

On the other hand, the 3DS actually looks surprisingly sexy in person.

Pfff Americans always thinking they have it bad.

Australian Date and Price laughs at your pain.

if you had to choose one to fuck, which would it be?

 

[Gravijah]

you thought it was a Coraline song derp

yet i still found out what it was in the end ;p

 

[Kenka]

The 3DS is not that sexy, it's just a console (ya know).

Goddamn low-rez screen. I hate it. Don't get me wrong, games look great, except when you have to see objects far off the action.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

okay I am sleepy stayed up all night and all day with the Japan Launch but hope when I wake up I can hear an 8-4 Podcast

hope next week we get more game announcements

 

[Jikagi]

With all this coverage, I really want the 3DS now, but we still have to wait a month.

 

[Vanille]

Not sure if it was already posted, but Gamespot are doing some live coverage.

 

[Platy]

It's the Japanese 3DS so it should only have Japanese.

Actualy the North American 3DS will have even brazilian portuguese as a language option ... so i would not be surprised if they add stuff like Korean and Chinese suport to the Japanese 3DS

 

[Boney]

prove it

Korea has its own region if I'm not mistaken, and Chinese Nintendo products go through a company other than Nintendo under the brand iQue.

 

[mclem]

Commence waiting with baited breath to hear if someone's hacked it to make it region free.

I am well aware I am likely to be waiting for a very long time. Particularly because I suspect there's not all that many non-Japanese titles out in the wild just yet!
