SSFIV is fantastic on this. Hasney, i registered you as a friend. My code is 2449-4627-0122

Done.

Even with the friend code, I kinda hoped that it would be tied to a unique name and sent as a request. It's improved, but online is still an afterthought.

Any reports of small children being blinded yet?

Think there's something wrong with his 3DS. My AR games and Face Raiders save their progress. Up to level 3 on Face Raiders.

Spent 30mins just dicking around with the camera, switching between 3D and 2D. Love this thing, although it seems too small, but I want one.

Have you noticed that the 2 issues are displays using a black 3DS?

Let that be a lesson: Don't be boring.

I'll be getting black unless the red/black one is out by mid May.

Started mine up and screwed around with it for about an hour this morning. Pretty awesome. Played the first couple minutes of Pokemon White. I'll try Steel Diver and Pilotwings later in the day.

Just ran out and grabbed a case to store it in.

Ashens :heart:

I always enjoy his stuff.

Picked up this and pokemon black yesterday. The 3d is actually pretty cool.

Does anyone know which is the best of the 3d launch titles, or should I just wait for Ocarina of time?

From what I've read and seen, Ridge Racer is the best one to use 3D but gets a bit repetitive after a while.

Street Fighter IV is the best in terms of controlling and playing just like the console versions. Not much of a 3D effect unless you fight in 3D mode or 1st person.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars might end up as the underrated game of the launch with low sales but a good game. Very similar to the old X-Com series in gameplay style.

Madden and Lego Star Wars appear to be the games to avoid the most with Super Monkey Ball 3D, Asphalt 3D, and Bust-A-Move Universe as the next set of avoidable games.

The Ocarina of Time 3D remake has a release date of the 19th of June 2011 in the US but no Europe date yet.

Also, boxart:

Water Temple here I come.

17th June in Europe.

OK, I walked too close to Game with too much money and bought one.

My code is 3652 0574 0537, I have Street Fighter and Monkey Ball cos I had to pick a free game from the shitty pile, but best not to play me at SF unless you like shallow, easy victories.

Some shots look fantastic, others pretty much sharper touches.

Looks good. Be cool to see Navi all 3D and stuff.

I just had a thought about the runner in OoT. The guy you'd find next to the canyon would challenge you to a race to the forest but he always won.

Think it's likely they'll change that? I always assumed they had plans for the guy, like you beat him and he gives you something like a heart container but they scrapped it and kept him in.

Then I read about the rumours that maybe he was linked with some sort of Triforce related quest they took out. I doubt that. Would be cool if they added a whole other quest using the same map, though. I know that's asking far too much. I'd only expect them to do something with the runner so he can give you a prize, if they changed anything like that.

Navi would be cool in 3D, flying about and so would a lot of the boss battles with their fire and effects. We'd probably get Eponas butt in 3D as well.

I think he was Nintendo's joke on quests...

Fishing would also look pretty cool in 3D (and perhaps easier?). And being that Zelda 64 made Z-targeting what it is, I guess it'll be fully realized locking on to enemies and Link's body looking that much closer to the screen, hopping about and fighting night skeletons.

Fucking love 3DS. And this game. Now gets some F-Zero on there.

The runner was meant to be a joke by Nintendo because even if you tried to out run him, the games would end up cheating and still put him in the finishing line.

His alter-ego in Majora's Mask was beatable in a contest but it was to get the clock at exactly 10 seconds instead of a race in order to get a heart piece.

Mega Man Lengends 3 Prototype Version is going to be an eShop launch title and cost the yen amount of about $2.

Fucking sweet.

Im still on the fence, would the fine people of TPWW recommend the 3DS?

Wait for E3.

Get it now, play Street Fighter and Ghost Tecon and be happy.

Wait till June/July because by then the bigger titles will be available to go along with Street Fighter IV and the eShop will be available for the Gameboy Virtual Console.

Exactly. There won't be a price drop between now and then. If you get bored of SF4, then there's a trade of OoT.

Motion aiming. Move the 3DS to aim/look around:

You can also use the stick if you'd prefer, according to comments.

Yeah, they said the motion was optional, thank god.

The entire BitTrip Saga series is heading to the 3DS as a single game card for those who didn't buy it on PC or Wiiware.
