Canadian Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Just picked mine up today. Its amazing, I started out with DS #1 (fat one) and never got the other versions although I was well aware of what they were capable of. To make the huge jump to the 3DS was aweinspiring. It has so many features that I, myself am enjoying getting used to. The 3D was a bit strong at first, but than I toggled it to a level I liked. Only complaint is that battery life died at 2.5 hours. O___O @Dark: +1'd, just for having the same story as me and coming to the conclusion that the 3DS-XL is the only upgrade that would make sense.

Yang Xiao-Long Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 So I told my dad I wanted one, so he goes on the computer and tells me that a bunch of adults are returning the 3DS because it made their eyes go all funky. Other than the fact that its price is around that of an XBox360, I still want it, but I guess I'll have to wait until the price goes down...

PowerlinX Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I played it at Target. I was surprised it didn't give me a headache or nausea although the 3D wasn't extremely impressive, but that may have been the game that was playing at that time (it was a flight game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Guys, I got Ridge Racer as my first game and I HIGHLY recommend it, even if you're new to racing genres. So far, "its has the best use of Nintendo's 3D effect" says xplay as to which I 100% agree with. Also, as a former fan of the Ridge Racer series (logging 250+ hours on my psp version and being only 20 spots away from the WR on a track), this has a tone of upgrades to the game and the graphics don't really take a huge hit. Just my $0.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I ordered my 3DS yesterday so I should expect it in about ten to twelve days. Honestly, there were no good release games whatsoever. Maybe PilotWings Resort, and I've heard good things about Ridge Racer, but I think the only reason I bought a 3DS is because my old DS is five seconds away from dying. Seriously, I'll be ecstatic if it lasts long enough to transfer Pokemon from 4th gen games to Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I actually hadn't seen the augmented reality yet, so I watched a video earlier, and my mouth was literally involuntarily hanging open.

Phantom Roxas Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Star Fox 64 3D is coming out on July 14th. Hopefully they announce Uprising's release date, since info on Dream Drop Distance will probably be scarce for awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I just got my 3DS today, and I literally had an orgasm just staring at the damn thing. I haven't tinkered around with it much yet (so far the only thing I've done is put some songs on an SD card), but tomorrow... let's just say I'm going to be 3DSing my Friday night.

Just Crouton Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Overhyped. When it came out, my Youtube subscription box was littered with 3DS unboxing videos and reviews ALL WEEK.

Dark Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Maybe it's because I went straight from the DSPhat to the 3DS, but the console itself is amazing. I don't even have any games for it yet and the sound and video quality is through the roof. I'd even say the 2D graphics match the PSP, if they aren't better. The 3D is amazing, and the "sweet spot" is actually fairly large. People just like to b[b][/b]itch about it because they can, and they also complain about headaches when Dark, the person who is most prone to getting headaches from video games, hasn't gotten one yet. The console itself looks sleek as hell, I love the stylus, I love the circle pad... everything about the console is amazing. Is it maybe a tad overhyped? Yeah, but it sure as hell was worth the money, and it's a must-get for all the people who want Nintendo's sick 3DS game lineup. It's not perfect, sure, but it's a damn good handheld console, and I think Sony should just stick with home consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 My thoughts: Pros: - The glossy cover isn't as dust prone or fingerprint prone as I thought it'd be - The 3D effect is actually alot better than I'd anticipated - The 3D slider allows for you to choose an optimum depth to play at without hurting your eyes (I usually play 3/4 full) - Being able to play my DS games on it aswell makes me happy - SD Card makes uploading photos and music so simple - 3D Camera is good fun with your friends and the such - Circle Pad is very soft and responsive, I like it a lot - Wii-like interface is very impressive, it allows you to customize things however you want - Universal Friend Code. Do I even have to explain why this is good? - Step Counter, the more steps I take, the more coins I get to play online games. Its very fun and rewarding - WiFi access is remarkable. As compared to the other consoles, Nintendo somehow always allows for smooth online play even with poor internet connections - Nice metal and extendable stylus feels sturdy and cool Cons: - Having to keep the 3DS in line or else the screen goes blurry is quite frustrating, albeit it doesn't happen all the time - The Camera has horrendous quality - Street Pass seems rather pointless this early in the game - System is very delicate and the D-Pad seems like it'd become unresponsive after prolonged use - Internet browser isn't installed yet, (it will be in a later update) so it could either be a success or be pointless - $249.99, for some people this might not be an issue, but it will prevent some people from buying it right away - No major game titles upon release, the good stuff comes out this summer, so expect more 3DSs to be bought around than - Battery Life, even with lowest brightness, no volume, and no 3D, the most I got was 4 hours - Microphone addon is a gimic, and nothing more This was all I could think of at the moment, if you feel like questioning me, feel free too.

Dark Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 [i]- Having to keep the 3DS in line or else the screen goes blurry is quite frustrating, albeit it doesn't happen all the time - The Camera has horrendous quality - Street Pass seems rather pointless this early in the game - System is very delicate and the D-Pad seems like it'd become unresponsive after prolonged use - Internet browser isn't installed yet, (it will be in a later update) so it could either be a success or be pointless - $249.99, for some people this might not be an issue, but it will prevent some people from buying it right away - No major game titles upon release, the good stuff comes out this summer, so expect more 3DSs to be bought around than - Battery Life, even with lowest brightness, no volume, and no 3D, the most I got was 4 hours - Microphone addon is a gimic, and nothing more[/i] -The sweet spot is fairly large, and unless you shift the 3DS around at least two or more inches, or unless you look away at something else and try to refocus, the 3D stays perfectly intact. As you said, you keep the 3D at about 75%, and for me, that gives me a large sweet spot, at least one-third of the screen at the middle. -The camera isn't perfect, but it's better than a phone camera, and that is all they were really going for. It's not webcam quality or an actual camera's quality, but it's good enough to warrant a good amount of use. The 3D camera is also very useful, despite it being a tad grainy. -Street Pass I thought was kind of useless, but because very few people actually currently have the 3DS, it obviously has no use. It's not really a con, it's just an addon feature that doesn't have much use [i]yet[/i]. -I just played Sapphire for a good six hours, and I refused to play with the circle pad. The D-pad is very responsive, but it's stiff enough so that you have ease of movement. It fees more stiff than my old DS, but I find it easier to move around with. -You don't know how many times I was playing my Wii and was too lazy to get my laptop to look up a Guitar Hero code or something. I used the internet browser for a long time on my Wii, and I'm glad that the 3DS will allow it to become portable. You can't bring your laptop everywhere, and any place with WiFi will accept the 3DS. -It is a tad expensive, but for a console of this magnitude, I think it's a fair price. I was wiling to play up to $300 for the Wii on launch, but I guess that's just me. -Fair point, but that's not a con. Just beacuse the release lineup was terrible (except SSFIV) doesn't mean the console is bad. The June games actually look very sick, and I'm already planning on buying four announced games. -I'd have to disagree. I was playing Super Mario 64 when my 3DS was on full battery. I played with a brightness setting of 3 (out of 5), 3D off, and volume max. I played for a good three hours, and when I checked my battery life, it was half. Maybe the 3DS games will have a battery life of four hours, and maybe the DS games cap at six or eight, but I know nobody that plays for five hours straight on a handheld, unless it's Pokemon. Besides, that's why I got a car charger adapter. -There was a microphone in the DS line, too, and that wasn't a gimmick. It actually made conducting trades in Pokemon a lot easier, and now that there is video communication in Pokemon Black and White, it just adds to the whole experience. Just my opinions on your "cons". The only actual con I found with the console is that I feel it takes too much force to pull the stylus out of the console. Other than that, it seems perfect for me.

Shradow Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Only you, Dark, would complain about the stylus, of all things... I'll be going from a DS Lite to the 3DS. Not only a DS Lite, but a DS Lite where the top screen gets horrible static very often and I have to hold the L button to keep it clear most of the time, and even then there's a strange red or blue film over the entire screen. Imagine playing Black/White entirely with messed up colors on the top screen. Also, the hinges have broken and it's only attached by the wires, so if I let go of the top screen if it's not facing up, I risk the top screen falling off completely. When I get the 3DS, I'm gonna s*** bricks. Beautiful, 3D bricks. I know there's a trade in thing if you trade in older DSs, it takes away from some of the 3DS price. I wonder if they'd accept mine? I have another one, but that one's top screen is always completely black, and there's no sound anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
