I was thinking we would have seen a backlash against the 3DS by now after the hands on from J-GAF but it does not seem to be so, they are still excited about getting the 3DS.
can we see some backlash and buyers remorse a month after launch?
I can only imagine that Nintendo would have revealed new Marios by then things to look forward to for Holiday 2011 that would keep the hype strong

It's a puzzle of its own. Can you notice the 5 differences in each Layton?Gravijah said:

Layton 5 will be THE launch game in Japan. No doubts about that.

Seriously. Nintendo should have learned their lesson from the DS. Two screens, one of which was touch, is a gimmick that never caught on, and completely defined the system. Then they had the audacity to put the gimmicky gimmick in the name! Fucking stupid Nintendo! Will they ever learn? Now with the 3ds, they rub it in our faces again! It's like they want to be defined by the 3d gimmick! I for one am disgusted by this tragic future you foresee. Gimmick, gimmick, gimmick...

3DS might not be a paradigm shifter like the DS was or the PSP was meant to be, or een the dominant "most hot selling console ever" that the DS ended up becoming - but it will still do fine as a DS MK II if nothing else.
And not just from a consumer standpoint, developers too, it will do better in terms of games, which again will drive sales comfortably.
Nintendo aren't immune from disastrous screwups but a system that has Nintendogs, Pokemon, Layton and so on is gonna do well.
For Nintendo to really fuck up the DS they need to make some drastic mistakes in the same gen as a competitor releases a great product. The 3DS is not that machine and I doubt the PSP2 is even a competitor. This will live up to the Gameboy/DS family.
Can't wait to hear games impressions.

I don't see how this could happen. This is the first 3D device without the need of glasses. Why shouldn't people be interested in it? As long as games come out regularly, success is guaranteed. The original bulky DS was much more a gimmick if you ask me.

Japan has a few 3D phones and cameras on the market already. This will be the most demanded and most advertised but it's not the first.

Did you manage to capture any 3D 3DS footage, Vook?
Graphics Horse said:
Not yet, there is an event next week which I might be able to get a go at it. The problem with the 3D cameras is you can't be too close to the subject and have to zoom in from a distance. It just doesn't/can't do macro type shots.
I've uploaded some test footage to Youtube and got that working, so I'll be ready to test.

Ah, that's a shame, will be interesting to see anyway, I'm amazed nobody seems to have tried it yet.

Do you have the W1 or W3? My Finepix W3 does have a macro mode, I've used it to get a couple 3D pictures of my 3D photo frame (which admittedly, at 8 inches is quite a bit bigger than the 3DS screen)VOOK said:
Would it be cheaper to ship the battery alone by one of those couriers? If so, might it be worth sending the 3DS by Japan Post and the battery separately, to save on shipping?cvxfreak said:
Or even, without a battery at all if replacement batteries can be purchased from Nintendo's online parts store or from third parties.

Ok, but I doubt these are even remotely mass-market-oriented such as 3DS.

I like the white cases, then again I don't care all that much since I keep my DS games in Hori cases anyway and the game cases go off to the cabinet.
Nintendo is doomed, let us all embrace our Doodle Jump future.Lazy8s said:

you should go mad with recursion. take a pic of your photo frame and display it on your photo frame and then take a picture of that. it'd turn into some mad 3D picture frame tunnel.Dreamwriter said:

What do you mean by "proper 3D Layton"?Man said:
It's Layton 5, it's in 3D, and it's a 3DS exclusive title if that's what you mean.
I'm actually pretty interested in impressions for the Samurai Warriors game. It's been built from the ground up as a 3DS title and it's fully voiced. If it plays well and is at least decent I would probably be interested in picking up the English version when it releases.
Outside of that I'm looking forward to hearing more about Steel Diver and Pilotwings and of course bemoaning the fact that we aren't getting Layton at launch =(

I'm so going to get egged.
I loved the toy designs of some handhelds, including the Phat, we need the lighthearted and colorful look again, we don't need to be all sleek and shiny all the time...

crappy launch
NO games interest me the slightest!

I still don't know if I'll get the system on day one...That doesn't sound good at all. Zooming from a distance, obvious, won't work. The camera will need to be positioned in the sweet spot to pull it off.VOOK said:
Well regardless, do we want to arrange a meeting time for the event or do we keep or internet and real lives comfortably separate? I'm going to be heading in first thing Friday morning in order to avoid as much of a line as possible (damn you Nintendo for actually advertising the event on TV) but I'm still up for heading in again on the Saturday if we want to meet up. An invite to all other interested Perth Gaffers reading this too of course (if you even exist, that is).

Looking forward to your impressions.
i'm getting ridge racer, wouldn't be a system launch without it.

but yeah, that along with winning eleven and street fighter should do me fine until steel diver...
