Sadly not. I just clicked the update button for my podcasts and it started to download the new episode.antispin said:

No extra stylus. But then again, I haven't really ransacked my box or anything.
The inclusion of a docking 'station' is nice.
3D is causing lots of eye strain, however. May have to turn it off after the novelty wears off, which is right about now.

good question, i've only played with sound off on the train! will let you know next time i play.cw_sasuke said:
che: i'm sortof feeling the eyestrain too. i really like the effect, i think my brain's just trying to get used to it...if not, i'll be using it sparingly. i've probably played the system in total today for about the length of avatar extended edition (if that exists), though, which i doubt i'll be doing every day.
here's a question; the 3D lamp doesn't work like i expected it to. i thought it would go off when i turn the slider down and pulse when it's up, but it only actually goes off for me when the top screen is displaying non-3D content (like the SFIV anime movies) and is solidly on at all other times wherever the slider is. did i just read previews wrong?

Targeting terrorists with a D-Pad
The 3D in Street Fighter made my eyes bleed, hopefully it gets better with Ridge Racer and Nintendogs which are up next!
Gotto say though that the overall feeling of the system is a major let down. The buttons and D-pad are eons better on my old DS Lite.

Because...
1: That's practically impossible to do since it would screw up other games
2: I've actually played a DS game on the 3DS so I know what I'm talking about
3: Other systems have done it before and it's nothing special. Virtual Console games let you use the analog stick for movement. It just maps the Circle Pad to the 8 D-pad directions.
It'll be easier to pull off circular movements for comfort reasons, but in no way is it true analog control. If it was tapping into the touch screen controls, you'd see a virtual analog stick on the bottom screen. The touch screen camera buttons would also be unusable as the system lacks multitouch support.

Whoops double post
Clearly a placebo effect caused by the slide pad's smooth movement.Smiles and Cries said:
DS games access the d-pad as four buttons (up, down, left, right) which can be either on or off. The 3DS slide pad maps to the d-pad, there's absolutely no way it can send more than 8 directions to DS games.
Also, Mario 64 DS movement isn't digital: the characters don't instantly snap in the direction you press in the d-pad, they gradually turn towards it. It's no different to how d-pad racing games worked (the d-pad drives a virtual analogue steering).
Because "touch screen analogue" isn't a hardware-standard feature and is done entirely by the game. The 3DS would need to contain a patch for Mario 64 DS in order for this to work.kaizoku said:

Wow, it suffers from a ton of ghosting. At least the few I picked to download out of those. It's also really grainy.

The DSi and 3DS cameras aren't really designed for taking pics to be displayed on bigger screens. They're designed for pics to be viewed on the device itself.
They'll look better on the system itself.

Oh I know, I've seen the 3DS before. It just was shocking to see how bad they are on my computer though. Not sure if it's been answered in this thread yet, but is it possible to move your own MPO files to the system and view them?

Positive Pro Evo impressions are great to see! SSFIV and Ridge Racer are my current UK preorders, but Pro Evo and Pilotwings are tempting me now, especially PES.

I've got to admit, though I preordered the black, that blue 3DS is dead sexy... I don't think I'd hesitate on one of those (will stick with stealth black for my first one though)... God, I hope they release some more interesting colours before Xmas, particularly purple!

I guess we all owe Sony an apology... Five hour PSP battery life is looking pretty good now... this thing sucks power like a Nomad!donkey show said:

I hope you can turn off those stupid Namco character icons that block half the scenery when you approach another car...gkryhewy said:

well i'm not a hardcore pro evo player by any means, so take what i'm saying with a grain of salt; the last few games i've owned have been 2009, 2008 (wii), 6 (360), 5 (PSP) and 4 (PS2, my favourite). i have no idea how i'd slot this game into those, but basically it feels like pro evo and is nothing if not competent - the graphics are somewhere between wii and current-gen, the gameplay is somewhere between PS2 and current-gen and the 3DS features (camera, effect) give it its own feel.
i also picked up ridge racer and played a fair bit - it seems to me a big part of the back and forth on how the game looks is based on track selection, because some of them are ugly as hell but a bunch of them actually look really nice. the PSP one is probably technically ahead but taking 3D and art style into account, i prefer the way it looks on 3DS. plus it plays really really well!

I actually think the video of this looked pretty damn good. I usually like Ridge Racer gameplay so I know what to expect, and in 3D I suppose it would be quite decent since it's just depth based. All I want to know is how much content is in the game? I don't want to buy it at the over-priced launch RRP, only to find that it has 5 tracks and a dozen cars.

it seems in line with something like RR7 or RR2 PSP, in that the actual content is somewhat indeterminable from the start due to the huge number of events. i can't imagine there not being enough, anyway.
okay and i can confirm that winning eleven has pretty reasonable-sounding commentary with player names etc, in japanese at least! if you've ever watched a football match in japanese you'll know that realistic commentary in that language is probably a whole lot easier to recreate, though.

Caldo Knorr? Orange?
Are you from spain? Thought you said you were in los angeles IIRC?
My only question left about this thing is about the touch screen.
How does it compare interms of input to the DSlite? Can we use our finger so it registers smoothly. Coming from being left handed, I'm sure the lack of 2nd analog for fps games would be overlooked by a decent touch screen. Using the stylus with my right hand is near enough impossible for me....

From what I can tell though, there isn't any sort of messaging service, which is a big fail. You however can see if your friends are online and you can see what game they are playing. Which is a definite step up from....absolutely nothing.
