I've posted a FAQ in the OP. Please let me know if you have any questions or additions. I'll be back in about 18 hours to update it.

So what you're saying is I get .mpo screenshots of a downscaled Crysis in 3D and have Crysis 3D on my 3DS?

I don't know why people keep calling this a weak launch. The Japanese one has Layton, and the US launch has some awesome looking stuff coming out.

FAQ in the OP is awesome. I was just about to post asking about battery life when I noticed it.

That Layton diorama itself is even cooler.rpmurphy said:

Probably already posted, but lots of 3DS commercials and demos on that channel.

great job on the updated op.Cheesemeister said:
i only have to be jealous of everyone with a 3DS for four weeks. that's not bad in the scheme of launches.
Can someone with good knowledge about batteries tell me what to do when I get the DS. Do you empty the charge, then do a full charge, or do you full charge it before even turning it on?
I fear ghost charge and things like that, I had an IPOD whose battery would only last 15 minutes by the end, and I don't want that to ever happen to my 3DS

Here's a question I don't think has been answered. Ever since the original DS there was functionality to transfer some sort of ID from DS to DS. I'm not sure if it was the MAC address or what it was, but transferring it let you play your online games with the same account as on your previous DS, since the cards are paired to the hardware.
I saw some kind of DS transfer item in the options in a video, but I don't know if it was just the not-yet-ready DSi-Ware software transfer, or this other existing functionality.
So, can you still do that? It'd be necessary so you could, say, put in Mario Kart DS and still be using your same account/stats/etc.

For lithium batteries I don't think it matters what you do, though I think it's better to charge it as little as possible? Some people believe in exercising them when you get them, which would be to drain it once completely and then recharge it back up. But after that I think it's better to do as few charges as possible.
I could be wrong though. My PSP battery lasts the same amount now as when I got it so I must have done something right. But I'm one of those people who constantly has their shit on a charger.

There is no limit, it's just visual data. You could knit a giant blanket and as long as it has the same colors and approximately close outlines it'll work.Smiles and Cries said:
Or use Google Earth to get a screen shot of downtown Chicago from space, photoshop a Mario card into the center, there you go.

And of course it'd work. Its still the same relative size to the screen, just that because you have a massive card, you need to move further back so larger items are viewable on the screen.
you could probably try it out on your big HDTV - display the AR card and see if the 3DS picks it up.

I agree. I've always gone bare with my DS/DS Lite. I guess if you have kids that play it, a screen protector might help. I've seen the demo units of a DS at Target/Wal-Mart/whathaveyou and sometimes I don't know what people do to create these huge gashes and scratches on the touch screen.
jump_button said:
You've clearly never played Ouendan/EBA, Pokémon minigames, Wario Ware or Rythm Heaven. Just swipe a single speckle of dust or sand with the stylus and there you have a really nice scratch. It's difficult, but I swear I've seen really awful screens, and the consoles were not even used by little kids.
Hmm, maybe it will be ok without it then. I didn't get a screen protector for PSP Go until it was too late :/ but maybe that was because you can't close a PSP, the screen is always susceptible to scratches when you aren't even using it. There's also dust that accumulates on the edges on the screen.jump_button said:
But I'll probably go ahead and add a Hori screen protector to the shopping list just in case.angelfly said:

About every non-Nintendo stylus (be it a cheaply made 3rd party stylus or a stylus for another device) tended to scratch the screen (or the screen cover).
So I would recommend a screen cover in case you lose your stylus and need to fall back on a non-1st party one.

Worst thing you can do. Try to never do a full discharge/charge, unless you are noticing worse battery life, which could be caused by the battery getting out of sync, and thinking it has less charge than it does. Doing a full discharge/charge will fix that problem. But Lithium Ion batteries hate full discharges, they are designed to be plugged in and charging as much as possible.herod said:

Okay, the Home Menu Easter Egg, the rearranging of icons, the Mii QR code, Graffiti, and being able to set DS games to 1:1 are all really cool.
This would be the most fantastic advertising campaign ever. Imagine people in Time Square getting run over by cars because they are busy trying to find out what the mystery box billboard is! hahaMisterHero said:
