Okay, so for those of you who already own one, did someone alraedy try the Dsiware to 3DS transfer ?

I'm really curious about how it works :eek:

I am very saddened at the stylus positioning :( . It was perfect on the DSi/DS Lite (for right-handers), now it's it's in the same spot as the DS Phat :\

I've only owned a gameboy color and borrowed my sister's DS Lite that's now broken. Never been munch of a hand held gamer.

I guess I need to buy...

3DS(DS, DSi)
Lite(GBA)
SP(GBA, GB, GBC)


Is the DSi xl worth it for the bigger screen?

Dude.

Just wait for a month and get the 3DS. If you really want to play the old games then get an SP as well.

3DS+SP is the obvious combo.

But... will DS and DSi games be better on the DSi XL than the 3DS?
Similarly, wouldn't GBA games be better on the DS Lite?

So responsive ♥ Love that you can change the Home screen to include more icons, can't recall if the DSi did that
Click to expand...
It can go up to 3 rows of icons.
For some reason I want to see video of someone setting up wifi lol.

Edit: Watching the live stream and the 3DS looks green and the circle pad looks orange. Is it the lighting or the camera that's making this happen?

Apologies if this has been asked before but:

Does anyone know how the 3DS stores the 3D pictures it takes?

Can you store them on the SD card?

Can you view said pictures on the computer from the SD Card?

Just something I've been curious about

1.On the SD card
2.Yes
3.Most likely but to see the 3D ones you might need a 3D graphics card or something IDK how 3D on computers work really :p but you can view the 3DS pictures on any 3Ds devise that supports the MPO. format.

Thanks! I didn't know that MPO was the format for 3D pictures

It would be pretty neat if one could convert them to cross eyed pics.

The guys battery is going to die lol. I like the warning though. I normally don't notice the red light that much so the blinking helps.

Boosh, just killed the battery to the point where it would auto shut-off every time I tried to turn it back on.

There was a bit more than 2 hours and 45 minutes straight playing time from full juice with full 3D, full volume, WiFi, AR games, camera taking, etc.

Was that after a full charge, or just when you got the machine? (Because it hasn't got a full charge straight out of the box)

The roller coaster continues.

Now, how much do I have to pay Rockstar to make a sequel to one of the best DS games that nobody played because you're all cunts; Chinatown Wars?

The A55 uses the exact same file format as the 3DS.

Ahh, must've missed it then. Poo :(

Someone needs to do a battery test with the best possible conditions (one for DS, one for DSi and one for 3DS games)

Lowest brightness, WiFi off, sound off, power save mode on. Test with different 3DS games as well to see if some games drain more than others (I would imagine that Street Fighter drains the battery moreso than Puzzle Bobble!)

DSi games should also drain the battery moreso than DS games since the processor is clocked at double the speed. It would be interesting to see how much more Pokemon B&W drains the battery than Pokemon HG/SS does for instance!

Will all 3DS models have a black 3D screen area for contrast? I kinda like solid colours better. Oh well.

Maybe the 3DS Lite will use a superior screen technology and solve that problem.
