AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I'm kind of disappointed that we have to wait another month or so before the eShop and internet browser are released, but if they're working to make it better than it's for the best. Though I really want to download Link's Awakening.

3DS get.

Got Street Fighter and Rayman 3D, haven't tried either yet, letting the system charge before I go to work to show it off.

Played with the 3D camera and AR cards, really neat tech.

Hello, is this a remake i smell, or the original?

Original but with 3D effects, I heard. Since it's a top view game it'll probably just add depth. They'll probably change it to 16:9 as well or whatever the top screen's ratio is.

As far as I know, only 3DS games have 3D effects. old games are not affected by it whatsoever, including those from the eShop.

"Of additional interest are plans to take select classic video games and remaster them to play in 3D."
But yeah, all DS games and most virtual console games won't have 3D effects.

Trust me. I would get double punishment. She would take that thing in a heartbeat because -insert rant about my mother being a bitch half the time-

Different people have different moms, Blake.

If I didn't get an iPod touch two weeks ago, I might have had a chance for my dad getting a 3DS for me. I'll probably just have to wait till the summer and save up enough cheddar with my job that I will HOPEFULLY have for it. I hope the gamestop in the mall has a demo of one, because I'd love to try it out so I'll have something to look forward to.

I don't really understand see why so many people are buying this on release. Very few games, release hardware (already saw some BSOD threads on /v/), the price will fall...

I tried one out at Best Buy. I was doing the Island Flyover thing
It was really neat and I was blown away, but most of the time I was seeing double images and it just wasn't quite right until I got at the PERFECT angle and got my face uncomfortably close to the screen.

So it was really cool, but I couldn't really imagine playing games on it a lot. :\

It has a slider to adjust the 3D. You don't have to hold it two inches from your face.

So my copy of Street Fighter arrived, but I don't get the actual 3DS until Wednesday. Hurp durp.

Will get on Saturday...

but can't afford any games.

auugh, mine's late

hope it doesn't do what happened before where my order didn't arrive for about a month so we ended up cancelling the order

Ah. I love this system. Got to try it at gamestop. I was worried about the slide pad being uncomfortable, like the PSP's analog nub, but those fears were unfounded. It's very smooth to control, and the 3D barely took any adjustment. SSFIV works great. Good signs for a portable Smash Bros. Personally, about the "taking classic games and remastering them in 3D"... I know people complain about remakes, but I think it's a great way to get new kids into old games. I personally think they should take a few REALLY select classic games, like Super mario All Stars + World, and remaster them into full 3D graphics, with the exact same gameplay. The mario we've seen on consoles recently, Sunshine graphics Mario, for instance, in the exact same old gameplay we love from all of the games on the original Super Mario All Stars + World cartridge. It would definitely be a good seller, I'm sure, and it would help young kids understand that games are supposed to be challenging, allowing nintendo to make hardcore gaming more of a market, by creating more hardcore gamers... at least.. nintendo hardcore. I am aware this theory is a MASSIVE stretch, and leaves many, MANY thing to chance. I am aware it is probably moronic... but I am also aware that remaking those games would not be a loss of cheddar on nintendo's part, in any way. Especially this early in the system's life, when people who have had their hands on the few games that they already have, creating a remake with already thoroughly established mechanics that people KNOW will be fun to play would likeley be a wise move on nintendo's part, almost guaranteeing a good selling title. As, with an established game, while maybe not "olol pump it out in less than a year because it's a remake herpderp" like some of the internet thinks, it would still be out quite quickly.
