You're probably not the only person who thought of it.

But portable games are already pretty expensive used, so I think online passes will crash and burn here.

Ok, I think I might get that 3DS rather than waiting God knows how much longer for the redesigned version. Now I just have to find a shop that's selling it. GAMEs site has nothing about it but, then again, they still haven't updated the release info for MGS HD collection.

Also, 5 minutes of Mario talking about the 3DS:

It looks like the Zelda 25th anniversary 3DS bundle might be arriving in the US as well instead of just Japan and Europe based on a leaked Gamestop flyer for this year's Black Friday sales.

Someone managed to figure out how long the battery lasts for the Circle Pad attachment and it comes to be about 480 hours.

Also did the comparison with the average hours for the 3DS and it would take 96 recharges to match the hours of the Circle Pad.

Gamestop won exclusive rights to sell the Circle Pad for the 3DS (store and online) so it won't be available anywhere else for the near future.

The good news is they won't be able to add their $5 "Gamestop" tax like they do with a lot of accessories and games (ex. Wii Zapper was $25 at Gamestop while $20 everywhere else).

http://www.screwattack.com/news/circ...op-exclusive-0


Nintendo also revealed the entire list for GBA games in the Ambassador program with Europe and Japan getting them on December 16 while US doesn't have a date yet but still expected before the end of the month.

Some 3DS news:

Fire Emblem on the 3DS will be the first Nintendo-made game to have DLC content. Although they've stated multiple times they won't suddenly be adding DLC for every single Nintendo-made game nor will content be taken out just to resell it like a lot of publishers do.

http://www.screwattack.com/news/comm...ds-fire-emblem


Kid Icarus Uprising will have both local and online multiplayer with 3v3 team matches and "battle royales" announced so far for modes.

Demos will be arriving soon on the eShop for 3DS games with 5 games announced as the 1st batch although only in Japan with no news on when the demo service will be added to other regions. The demos are limited in a sense that they only allow 30 play sessions or boot-ups before becoming inactive.

I think just Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7. Probably Street Fighter 4 if you like fighting games.

In the eShop: Pushmo, Might Switch Force, and maybe Freakyforms if you like creating weird things.

The third iteration with the second stick built in and a needlessly big screen, sure.

Current rumor is the 3DS Lite could be arriving around a Spring 2012 release date although it might just be in Japan. No 2nd stick would be built-in but the battery life would be improved by a lot and the system itself would be lighter.

The whole thing is just speculation and I assume the 2nd stick wouldn't be added because Capcom somehow has "exclusive rights" to the thing because they co-developed it and are selling it as a bundle with Resident Evil Revelations.

Nintendo held a special Direct conference viewable from the 3DS with a new Mario Tennis game called Mario Tennis Open arriving this May and the NES game of Kid Icraus getting the 3D Classic treatment.

Quote:
The biggest new feature is the way you interact with friends. There is still the classic local play for up to 4 players (over WiFi), but now you can play online with your friends, or play an open match against a stranger (stranger danger).

There will be some form of online progression, including leaderboards, and various events. There will of course be implementation of new control schemes like using the touch-screen will supplement buttons for specific volleys and the gyroscope can be used to look around the court by tilting the 3DS. Intense rallies and Peach in a mini-skirt are all coming to the 3DS on May 20th.
http://www.screwattack.com/news/mari...d-release-date


The 3D Classic of Kid Icarus is set to arrive around the same week as Kid Icarus Uprising on the 3DS.


Multiplayer modes for Kid Icarus Uprising was also revealed today with a Light vs Dark mode and a Free-For-All mode explained.
Quote:
Kid Icarus Uprising multiplayer was detailed showing off a few modes. The Light vs. Dark is an interesting combat mode that requires teamwork to win. Three player teams essentially share a health bar and weapon enough players have died, one will be reincarnated as Pit (or Dark Pit). Thos angels must be defended in a sort of last man standing mode, first team to lose their angel, lose the match. There is also a Free-For-All mode, which much like the Light vs. Dark mode, can be played online and globally.
http://www.screwattack.com/news/kid-...nd-dawnbreaker


Nintendo also announced a new AR game called Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir will arrive on April 13.





Edit: Long list of confirmed dates for 3DS games including non-Nintendo published games for this year.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...ease-schedule/


2nd Edit: Nintendo revealed Capcom, Namco, and Sega are currently working together on a cross-over project for the 3DS with the codename of "Impossible to predict".

As part of Nintendo's plan to lure in more digital and indie games for the eshop, the file size cap was expanded from the small 40 MB the Wii and DS used to now 2GB as the current standard.

To put it into perspective, the current card size for 3DS games is about 2GB with only Capcom's Resident Evil Revelations exceeding it.

So...dumb question, but can a 3DS communicate with a DS/DSlite/DSi? Like, say, for the purposes of Pokémon trading.

I know it's backwards compatible, but that doesn't necessarily mean all features are the same. In this case, communication protocols and the like.

The secret and cryptic Namco, Capcom, and Sega joint project is expected to be revealed next week.

Some speculation on what the blocky chromosome type characters might be hints towards the game most likely being a crossover fighter.

The previous Japan-only Fire Emblem Awakening has a huge chance of getting a North American release based on recent domain names registered to Nintendo.
http://www.screwattack.com/news/fire...-be-heading-us

Nintendo also revealed starting with New Super Mario Bros 2 on the 3DS, the new Nintendo Network will support digital releases of 3DS and Wii U games.

Next color will be Midnight Purple and arrives on May 20.



Previous Japan-only Ace Attorney Investigations 2 could be getting a worldwide release after Capcom teases they are planning on translating the game but warns it still wouldn't arrive anytime soon. Probably won't get started until after Professor Layton Vs Ace Attorney for the 3DS is done and the film for the series is released later this year.

New details in regards to Mario Tennis Open for the 3DS:
Quote:
Online Play: Mario Tennis Open players can compete and cooperate in local wireless matches with other opponents and play exhilarating games. Players can also build up their Open Match standings, check the monthly leaderboard and win Victory Medals from every challenger they defeat.

Ink Showdown: In this fast-paced competition, Piranha Plants spit ink balls from the back edge of the court. Players must destroy the ink balls before they splatter, while hitting tennis balls away from an opponent.

StreetPass Features: Players can inspire friendly competition by using the Nintendo 3DS system’s StreetPass feature. They can engage in competitive StreetPass Matches or cooperative Ring Shot challenges with computer-controlled versions of people they encounter and share their StreetPass winning streak. StreetPass can also be used to show off players’ Mii characters, which can be customized with new outfits and accessories that can improve their on-court performance. As users play, new items for their Mii will be unlocked in the Item Shop.

Unlockable Characters: New and familiar Nintendo characters can be unlocked – some through game play, others via special QR Codes. Unlockable characters include Luma, Baby Mario and Dry Bowser.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...o-tennis-open/


The next firmware patch is expected to arrive in May and includes the patch for Mario Kart 7 and "enhances" the system's menu so all the items are visible at once without needing to scroll back and forth.

Rumors pointing to Nintendo possibly mentioning something about the 3DS hardware at E3 with either the small chance if a new redesigned model or more likely the announcement of a stronger battery for future 3DS will occur soon.

The rumor is being based on Amazon's Japan branch suddenly being "sold out" of all existing 3DS models and refuses to restock them until the day before Nintendo's press conference.

The reason I've held off on a 3DS is because I hated the design and I hated how it felt in my hands when I tried it.

I'm hoping they make it feel less like I'm holding a small paving stone and add a second stick.
