I wonder if Segata got a 3DS yet? Maybe he'll be in a jolly mood and come back to GAF.

yeah I got the link from John's twitter

Thanks for the link, btw.

I never realized unto watching it that the top of the 3DS color had a gradient effect. That's kinda cool.

 

[TheProphet]

Goddammit no one ever unboxes a black one!! The blue one does look nice in that vid though (watch it in 720p).

Is that Mark and John from 8-4 I'm hearing in the vid?

Thanks. Okay now I feel like I made the right decision going with black rather than blue. The black just looks smooth and the grey accent at the bottom doesn't break up the scheme like the turquoise bottom plate does on the aqua color. The grey part actually looks metallic in the vid.

If you are going to do it, you might as well use it. I hope hey keep up with this

 

[Gahiggidy]

I'm happy people are enjoying their 3DS, but don't forget to show it to your cat. Use the 3D camera to take pictures of mice and stuff and see if they try and eat it through the screen.

 

[Gospel]

This comes out march 27th everywhere in the world.
all these reports and pictures of people with the system before me are fake. surely

Are there any like.... cross eyed stereo videos of 3D gameplay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvucQ7_2GQg&feature=player_detailpage#t=37s?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I would like to know if the first shipment is sold out by now

Sadly no, and I'm guessing there wont ever be.

[Spiritreaver]

Need more videos of people rocking SSF4 like this guy:

Gogo CODY. I wanna see a wifi match.

Fixed video link.

 

[Cheesemeister]

Here are my photos from this morning's launch. Sorry for the delay.

Please ask any questions you might have about the system!

 

[neptunes]

so do all (or any) of the titles come with a wifi infrastructure mode? or just local ad-hoc?

edit: lol at most of those people playing psp's

 

[ghostmind]

Another console succumbs to the "cases with speed-holes" syndrome. At least carts are studier than discs, and hopefully Nintendo makes creative use of them in NA.

Is Street Fighter the real deal???

Just impressions would be great. What games did you pick up? Can we have some pictures of the dock, etc? How's the weight of the system feel compared to the DSi?

 

[Pyrokai]

unbox vid http://www.1up.com/news/video-unboxing-nintendo-3ds

This makes me reconsider my black pre-order......fuuuuuuu------

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Honestly, after watching tons of un-boxing videos, I think Blue and Black are pretty even in terms of awesomeness. They both look quite good...

I like how the Blue one goes from light to dark on the top, but the Black one looks nicer when the blue power button light is on against the Black.

 

[donkey show]

Is Street Fighter the real deal???

Plays just like the console versions. 3D mode is pretty fun as well. =)

 

[Fantastical]

I'm so jealous! One month is too long to wait!

 

[C.Dark.DN]

The Aqua Blue/Cosmo Black combination looks ugly to me. it should be 100% Aqua Blue.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Nice, thanks for all the impressions.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

The Aqua Blue/Cosmo Black combination looks ugly to me. it should be 100% Aqua Blue.

If it was all blue I’d probably go for it...but yeah, the half blue/black thing is a turn off for me.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

The Aqua Blue/Cosmo Black combination looks ugly to me. it should be 100% Aqua Blue.

yea if it was a navy blue or red i could go for that but aqua blue/cosmo black combo isnt appealing.

 

[C.Dark.DN]

If it was all blue I’d probably go for it...but yeah, the half blue/black thing is a turn off for me.

I see 4 tones on it. I think..

Bottom- light aqua blue
Inside bottom screen- aqua blue
Inside top screen black
Top- black/aqua blue blend

I like the top blend only.

 

[Zzoram]

I'm sure revision 2 will be much sexier. Kinda how the Lite dramatically improved the DS, and the following revisions were still very similar to Lite.

 

[EatChildren]

Query: Is the over the shoulder style view in SSFIV directly linked to the 3D slider, or can you still play with the standard camera but with 3D depth?

 

[Truth101]

Those of you have the 3DS have you tried adding anyones friend-code yet? Do both people need to add the friend-code or does it send a request the other player can accept or refuse?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I see 4 tones on it. I think..

Bottom- light aqua blue
Inside bottom screen- aqua blue
Inside top screen black
Top- black/aqua blue blend

I like the top blend only.

Cosmo Black also has the separate tones just not as easy to notice

the bottom is a gray color and the middle layer darker and top shiny dark

 

[EvilMario]

I'll admit to falling in love with the blue after seeing these videos. It's very sexy in my opinion. I don't think the colors clash; they fit well, whereas the black is just very plain and not even slick looking.

I'm sure the next revision of the system will be far superior in design, but I'm picking one of these up at launch.

 

[donkey show]

Nice, thanks for all the impressions.

Just played a couple rounds online in 3D mode. Online plays just as well or terrible as you experience with the console versions. Fun stuff.

Also, some more pics of the black 3DS. :3

Query: Is the over the shoulder style view in SSFIV directly linked to the 3D slider, or can you still play with the standard camera but with 3D depth?

It's not directly linked since you can still play "3D" mode with the slider off. It also seems slightly smoother framerate wise with the 3D slider off.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

well at least we know Nintendo can count on donkey show to buy the next revision without a trade-in :3

 

[PKrockin]

Are there any like.... cross eyed stereo videos of 3D gameplay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvucQ7_2GQg&feature=player_detailpage#t=37s?

Not quite, but I did find this and it should be quite close. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qftUs9ppnbA

You may have to set Youtube 3D to cross-eyed.

There's also a Pilotwings 64, Mario Kart 64, Ocarina of Time, and other videos like that around that are worth looking at.

*JEALOUS*

You should go make some Game OT's. Also, what did you do to your DSi to get it dirty like that? O-o;

LOL, I can't think of the last time I got rid of a console.

I came? :O

 

[Cheesemeister]

It'll vary by title, but SSFIV has both.

Is Street Fighter the real deal???

I haven't quite gotten the hang of the controls, but it appears to be a fully-featured port. The character models are dead ringers for their HD counterparts.

Just impressions would be great. What games did you pick up? Can we have some pictures of the dock, etc? How's the weight of the system feel compared to the DSi?

I just got SSFIV for now. I've yet to put much time into the built-in software, so expect impressions later.

The 3DS weighs 230 grams (8.1 oz), and the DSi weighs 214 grams (7.5 oz). It's a comfortable weight.

 

[EatChildren]

It's not directly linked since you can still play "3D" mode with the slider off. It also seems slightly smoother framerate wise with the 3D slider off.

Can I play with the normal camera angle but with 3D on?

 

[vall03]

just watched the 1up unboxing video

Spoiler

(why am I considering getting aqua blue?!)

, and noticed no extra stylus? or did I just miss something?

 

[donkey show]

Can I play with the normal camera angle but with 3D on?

Yeah, it's totally cool. You have to choose a discrete "3D" mode to play with the over-shoulder camera.

 

[BowieZ]

Query: Is the over the shoulder style view in SSFIV directly linked to the 3D slider, or can you still play with the standard camera but with 3D depth?

You select either Standard View or Dynamic View before each tournament (at least in the demo), but I imagine you can switch it in an options menu during normal gameplay whenever you wish.

Both view modes work in 2D or 3D vision.

Edit: partially beaten

 

[EatChildren]

Mad. Thanks guys.

I was a bit confused as a lot of the impressions I had read made it seem like the camera shifted to the behind-the-back perspective as you enabled 3D, which had me concerned that it was the only 3D perspective you could use.

It would be stupid if you couldn't use 3D on any perspective, but I'm glad to have confirmation.

TIME TO PRE-ORDER.
