Ah ah ah! And to think I was hesitant ^o^

Beautiful!

Sucks that Japan gets it a month later

 

[Lupin the Third]

did we ever figure out what the code name was? I wanna know what CTR stands for!

"Choose The Right (One)"

 

[Father_Brain]

Is it the ones with the Jetpack Miis facing the camera? Are they for parallel viewing cause they look strange when I try cross-eyed viewing.

Yep, those two, and yes, they're parallel.

Back to Day 1 for me as well.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Yeah, that is a nice shade of blue. I, too, have been mulling around the colours, and I am thinking of going for the blue. Every handheld system I own is black, with one exception, the original Cobalt GBA SP. When it broke, I got the NES edition. I loved that Cobalt, and I couldn't find a new one around my parts.

Marty, if you could please answer me one more thing: using the blue system, when you look down onto the bottom touch screen and then look back at the top 3d screen, does the colour throw you off at all? I guess it would be better to ask once you have had a chance to try the black system, but maybe you can give a before/after opinion.

Thanks, it is much appreciated.

So I tried Star Wars, Steel Diver, and Zelda and tried a lit of looking up and down and there was no issue that I saw with a two tone blue case.

I'll be back there later if anyone wants me to try something specific.

You're talking of the black one, right?

Black one is drab and unexciting.

I see the Wind God has forgiven us, now to warp to Tingle Island.

I wish they would have brought the gyrocopter back for Pilotwings. That was my favorite vehicle in Pilotwings 64.

Sucks worse that the rest of the world gets the *3DS* a month later...

But it actually looks like a single, complete handheld, as opposed to the Frankenstein 'my top disagrees with my bottom' turquoise.

Apropos, what's the new sensor on the top lid do? If that's a sensor.

DLC?

 

[MNC]

I cannot fucking wait for this piece of hardware to release here. And it's pretty soon, too!

Didn't see this posted:

Pilotwings Resort Jet plane

Also, draw distance seems really good judging by these screen shots.

Sorry to say that there's absolutely nothing 3D about these screens :/ Absolutely no depth at all when cross-eyeing.

DLC?

Are we sure the system can handle DLC and patches?

I really want to know.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I honestly think this may have sold me.

It can handle DLC. The Wii and DS has DLC.

:lol what was the point in making stereoscopic images when all but one does not work?

Only this one works:

 

[Teknoman]

Anyone have any problems playing DS games online with a 3DS? Im going to be starting Pokemon white version on my DSi, but switch to a 3DS once that hits...so i'm hoping I wont have any problems.

DS games didn't have DLC. The "DLC" content of some games was already in the cartridge... WiFi was just used to unlock it.

How is that? There are three shades of black just like there are three shades of blue.

Edit: Sorry for the size of the pic, I can't find any other pics of the Black system closed.

 

[Codeblue]

I thought I would be getting Steel Diver for sure, but PilotWings is getting more appealing everytime its mentioned, especially now that we know Monster is involved. Launch title choice has gotten just as difficult as color choice for me.

 

[Vinterbird]

The Pokemon games had original content transfered to them via WiFi.

But no matter, Nintendo has officially said there will be DLC for 3DS games.

Yeah, but the black one looks uniform. You could be fooled into thinking it was just a handsome and subtle two-tone, not like the obvious 3 tones of the blue one. I think that's what he meant.

Download content is basically a patch with new content...

I am sure he is referring to how, when open, the blue 3DS still has a black top screen.

I see... I was mostly thinking about patches to fix bugs and stuff, but I guess it's the same.

Ah, that too!

Don't want to turn this thread into the Blue vs. Black thread but...Black ftw.

Fixed!

It's parallel - you aren't supposed to cross your eyes, but do the opposite - relax your eyes and try to focus into the image, like those old magic-dot pictures.

A few DS games had custom content sharing.

On the inside. I was referring to the device's open form.

I'm 99% sure you'll need it. It'll most likely simply transfer the purchase history of all downloaded software and then remove them from the DSi.

you need it. You have to download somethign from the store on both DSi and 3DS. And the store isn't out until May :/

I've basically given up. There wasn't that much I desparately wanted to keep and I think trade-in prices will drop through the floor after 3DS launch. Many high street stores in the UK (and even amazon) are offering higher than normal prices on tradeins to encourage preorders on 3DS. That means they'll have a glut of used Dsi/lite/Xl which will mean they will give you shit all if you trade in later on

Ah man that's really unfortunate :/

I am a friggin champ at magic eyes alright, I can do them in like a SECOND, but there's no way I can manage it on these 3DS shots. Magic eyes work cause the items that have to overlap are right next to each other, a tiny bit of unfocusing will cross them and produce the effect. For these big screens though there's no WAY I can get them to overlap, I have to usually size them down in order to make it work.

Cross-eye is a piece of cake though, cause crossing your eyes creates a huge alteration in distance. Unfocusing, not so much.

WarioWare DIY?

Question: is there an option to transfer your NDS wifi settings/account so you don't lose your Friend Codes when you migrate to the 3DS? Can someone test it, like using the NDS utility for it with the download mode in the 3DS?

I asked the same thing earlier. There's a "Transfer DSi settings" option on the menu that isn't enabled yet, but I have a feeling you're intended to do it the old way and the DSi thing is probably just for DSiWare. I don't think anyone has tried yet, either because they're getting an English 3DS later or just don't care about losing their DS friend codes

 

[Smiles and Cries]

man after the way Sega treated the Game Boy during those those days smh

how times change

 

[Izayoi]

I can't get parallel to work at all for me.

Cross-eyed I can do instantly with no problem, though.

Does parallel have the same problem as cross-eyed where you have to be a little further back from the image?

 

[DCharlie]

Just a quick one : Monkey Ball is 60fps - i know we've been told this before but... you know...

Looks really nice - only had a quick go playing with the slider.

Another game where my patented 3DS port oneliner review template works :

"<game> 3D? it's <game>... in 3D!"

 

[Dreamwriter]

Cross eyed is hard for me to focus - I can merge the images easily enough but it takes a lot of work to then bring it into focus. Parallel for me takes very little effort, and never goes out of focus.

 

[Father_Brain]

I much prefer parallel viewing - for me, it causes less strain and creates a better sensation of depth. For whatever reason, cross-eyed viewing also makes the result seem further away from me.

Parallel 3d images are more difficult to view the larger the image is. Depends on the person so ymmv, but that's my experience with it also.

Try this in parallel

And then this one (parallel, but larger)

 

[Sadist]

When is Dead or Alive Dimensions set for release?

I played the game this afternoon and I was really surprised. Fluent action, cool 3D effect (allthough the 3D 30 fps >>> 2D 60 fps is really noticable, but doesn't affect the gameplay) and it looked good.

 

[Stephen Colbert]

It was actually the Engadget gallery from a few days ago that set me over to black. They have both of the units under what I would assume will be common household incandescent lighting for most folks. Not high-res, but there are close ups of the black one. The black one has the glittery texture same as the blue one, but it's not so obvious in most photos I've seen.

http://www.engadget.com/photos/nintendo-3ds-japanese-retail-version/#3921704

Thanks for the link. There's some really nice quality pictures of the black and blue 3DS that show off the bottom layer of paint as well.

Wonderfuldays' pics made the blue look better, but man the black 3DS looks sweet in the engadget photos.

Plus the black 3DS actually matches the charging cradle. Sexy.

I'm quite conflicted at the moment.

 

[El Pescado]

I can only see the parallel 3D images. Cross eye always has the depth inverted for me.
