Nintendo 3DS launches today!

Re: Nintendo 3DS launches today!

I'm in the UK, and I think it's to be released soon (if it hasn't already). I just hope shops will put up a 3DS for a demonstation or something as I'm curious to see if it actually works, even if I have no real intention in buying a 3DS.

Third-party solution to longer battery life: http://www.gamesradar.com/3ds/ninten...16102754448006 (looks sloppy though)

And so far, I haven't heard any personal experiences from anyone who's played a full battery life's worth of games on the 3DS. Here's a site that did some battery life comparisons, and claims that 3-5 hours of battery life may be a conservative estimate: http://www.tested.com/news/nintendo-...consoles/1622/

Re: Nintendo 3DS launches today!

i'm hesitant in buying one because i don't think the 3D will work for me (i have a form of amblyopia)
although i'm also aware there will be 3ds exclusive games, which i want...

Been waiting for this, my Lite was stolen a while back and I've been so lonely T_T

The battery life is hilarious though, Ars Technica was bewildered when they wrote their review.

also going to have to agree with everyone bitching about the extremely short lifespan of recent Nintendo handhelds. Especially in the case of the DSi and 3DS games, which are unplayable on previous iterations of the DS. Kind of a scummy move there, Nintendo. Gr8 4 bizness tho

Those complaining that 3D will kill you, you can turn off all the 3D settings you know :P

Also, gonna wait until the good games, ESPECIALLY Legend of Zelda comes out before buying it.

I still have my lite and I wasn't going to trade up for a DSi. Cruddy camera for "photo games" or a GBA slot so I can play FF Tactics Advance on a brighter screen? I'll take the GBA slot.

I'm not buying a 3DS until I get a chance to try it first hand, and by which I don't mean some gimmicky store display. I have a friend who's a class-A Nintendork who probably already has one, so I'll try hers.

Re: Nintendo 3DS launches today!

I don't like all these gimicks that nintendo is putting into gaming. I understand that stuff like the wii and 3d sells to a wider audience, but I'd prefer a normal controller and a non touch screen handheld.
