Nintendo 3DS Japanese Launch Thread

Reggie specifically said you can be the producer and director of your own 3D movies. Here's hoping it has a slick Flipnote Studio-style interface for video editing, and the ability to draw on videos and add effects.

I just realized that this thing is less than a month away for the US/EU. I remember the initial announcement...doesn't seem like it was that long ago...very excited for this.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo have something on there, but people love putting their protectors on them anyway. There's nothing removable though.
Thanks for the info.

No, no screen protector at bottom screen. Althought it is welling to protect scratch already.
What do you mean? Is there some kind of special protection on the screen to resist scratches?

My friends in Japan. Please tell me about the pop out.
A few games have certain things that pop out of the screen a bit (for example, Super Monkeyball has banana's flying out the screen at you), but most gaming is sinking into the machine, as if it was really deep.

The_Technomancer,

I was having the same problem... but with those orange columns pic posted up a bit, I finally was able to make it out. I think the problem is expecting the two images to combine into one... but really you are looking to see three images, with the 3D one in the middle.

With cross-eyed 3D I really had to practice focusing and defocusing until I found the sweet spot where the middle image created out of the two images became clear. When the 3DS becomes more popular I expect to see lots of cross-eyed stereoscopic jpegs posted when people start taking photos. Oy.

Anyway...who wants a 3DS Wind Waker? I know I do.

Prediction. At least one 3DS publisher will use cross-eyed pics in their print advertising.

So how long untill somebody starts making 3D porn with the 3DS?
I'm betting I will be seeing (at the very least) 3D wangs at some point in my future. =(

I tried Super Monkey Ball 3D on my friend's 3DS last night. WOW the bananas fly out!!! So does some of the platform's elements if they are between the monkey ball and you.

I was really amazed because Super Street Fighter 4 and Professor Layton both does not have any pop out effects. I was sold on Super Monkey Ball 3D straight away after I played it last night!

So its confirmed, pop out is the killer app. I'm wondering when those little bananas are flying out of the screen, when do you notice them disappear?

So even if the battery on the 3DS is relatively short on full settings there is an option to upgrade the battery in the future right?

From the short time (about 5 minutes) that I spent with the game, I can feel the bananas fly out, but never close enough that I feel I had to move my head to dodge it. Never really had the feeling that it was going to hit me.

I think it is also because the colour kind of "fades out" as the banana is approaching, making it feel less striking.

I was actually thinking about this the other day. Since the entire bottom panel comes off as a battery cover, I wonder if they could make a high capacity battery that attaches in place of the stock battery cover, making the system a little thicker, but allowing for longer battery life.

Yea it's possible. In fact I expect a third party to do it

Pop out is pretty amazing since you don't expect it out of the 3DS. It's certainly a wow factor for me since it was my first experience with the system.

All I want is Virtual Boy Wario Land.

All Nintendo have to do is code an emulator (probably already done), and shove it on as a download. Done. No effort at all, and straight away you'll have one of the best platformers ever, which will be brand new to 99% of the people playing it.

And I'm not exaggerating with that claim about being one of the best platforming games ever. It's absolutely incredible.

This. Please this!

It is the one game I regret never picking up.

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.

Cool. Thanks for that.

I'm leaning more towards Blue now.
