Honestly ive been watching some 3ds channel where some Aussie kid imported a 3ds, unboxed, showed setups, functions, even games... The whole experience seemed underwhelming... He didnt sound too blown away and neither was I whe ya got down to it... Without the 3d to see it might as well be the next DSi

The NGP, fragmented and scattered, will be finished off by the Huorns.
It's likely that they decided to look at the things they did right with the DSi like direct Facebook image uploads and Hatena's Flipnote Studio in regards to content sharing.M3d10n said:
If were lucky, these things were considered and implemented when getting NetFront on the browser.

Ugh, that launch hype is getting to me. Might camp out for one now.
So are there any impressions of PES??? I know it won't be a hit in the US, but I imagine it's gonna kill in Japan. Every impression not only says it plays great, but makes great use of the 3D due to camera placement. If Steel Diver isn't the absolute shit, PES may be my only launch title.

Got 5 hours 15 minutes, give or take, this time. Again, that's with occasional 3D slider gameplay, about 45 minutes of Wi-Fi, brightness 1, power save off, 30 minutes or so of AR play.

Well, that's passable for an handheld. I suppose it's better than nothing.

Is this the brightest or dimmest setting?donkey show said:

Dimmest. 5 is the highest. I'm sure I could've gotten a bit more juice out of it if I didn't play the AR games.Snytbaggen said:
Why would you do that?

Hmm, I think that's pretty good, for me at least.donkey show said:
As long as I can use StreetPass and listen to music on the train with the 3DS closed, and still have at least 3-4 hours for gameplay if I choose, then I will be happy.
Since the backlight and screen seems to take most of the power (because it's essentially 3 screens with 3 backlights), I don't think I should worry too much.
Also, I hope people everywhere leave StreetPass on. Otherwise, it'll just be useless...

Well, if the device doesn't have that built-in, you could do it manually. The 3DS saves 3D photo's in ".MPO" format to SD Card - that's a standard format, same one as my 3D camera uses. You could post those files somewhere, and download them too, then load them back onto SD for viewing on the 3DS. Heck, I've seen a photo sharing site designed for 3D files.M3d10n said:

Oh, I see. I've heard that at least with smartphones, the battery reaches its full capacity after a few charges, and since I'm pretty sure it's the same battery technology the case should be the same for the 3DS. So it'd be great if you could chime in again after a week or two and give an update again.donkey show said:

Wish there was something like what they did with MKisny said:
S and had a little random sound when it started up on a DS lite.FantasticMrFoxdie said:
Man seeing the 3DS next to the DS just makes the 3DS look... clunky with its overbite and seams and silly 3 color design.
That blue does look pretty slick though. Alot better than the early shots lead to believe. I just wish the entire interior was black instead of just the top screen.
Why would you do that?

I'm curious about something.
Remember the original DS, and how the backlight was either On or Off?
Well, in Super Mario 64 DS, in the Options, there was an in-game option to turn the backlight on or off. It even worked on the DS Lite and I think the DSi (but it was too dark to see anything well).
Can some lovely fellow try Mario 64 DS and see if the 3DS's backlight will go completely off? And if so, can you say how it looks? Is it visible and somewhat easy to see?

To be perfectly honest, this video almost sold me on Nintendogs + Cats :/...
Man, I understand they still have the fourth Layton game to bring over the States but I really wished that we had the Layton 3DS title here. Hopefully both titles come out here this year.BudokaiMR2
