If you're in doubt it's impossible to go wrong with black since that's the standard for slickness. That aqua/blue/green colour sure is cute though........StickSoldier said:

Haha yeah that red color is sick, I had the DS lite with the shiny red color and the rest black, so I can dig the red 3DS.
Dreamwriter said:
Lol, I bet the black with a blue cover would be pretty badass.. Maybe if i get the black nyko battery, I'll be able to pull off a cool color with the Blue 3ds.

Red, or a Grey one with White Zelda symbols on it would be awesome.

hmm, I bet grey would actually be a really good color for the 3DS. I remember having the gold gb pocket, it was awesome. Wouldn't mind seeing what a gold 3ds would look like.

First, I believe you.
However, to this day, every time I buy something with a rechargeable battery, the manual strongly encourages you to charge it all the way before using the system/device. I assume this is some sort of CYA for the manufacturer?

Basically.
Plus, they only come with a small charge so they'd rather you plug it in while you're getting started with it.

I tried one of these out today and maybe it was just me or the game I was playing(Pilotwings), but the 3d was horrible. It just looked blurry to me and started giving me headaches until I turned it off. I tried adjusting it back and forth.
Really debating if I should cancel or not. Unless Ghost Recon turns out to be amazing, I can't see myself getting any launch title. I know I'll definitely want one for Paper Mario or Super Mario 3DS, though, and I can't imagine any revision or price drops hitting before then. Never actually played Link's Awakening or Ocarina (gasp) either, so I wouldn't mind checking those out when they hit. Ah well, guess it's worth picking up now in case of scarcity. Launch window lineup is launch window lineup, though.

Lithium Ion batteries don't like to run completely dry, they work better the less charge that is used (and they don't mind being constantly recharged after being only used a little bit). That's probably why they tell you to charge completely before use.Dr. Zoidberg said:

Realize that the vast majority of gamers never owned a Nintendo 64, as the Psx demolished it in sales. Same with Gamecube and PS2. Wii had it on the Virtual Console, though...-Pyromaniac- said:

Although I have a Cosmo Black one pre-ordered, I keep wanting to change my preorder to the Aqua Blue one after seeing it at Best Buy. It didn't look as "girlie" as it did in PR shots. What do you guys think?
My launch titles are SSFIV and Pilotwings although I'm not super high on Pilotwings. I know I'll have fun with it, but I'm wondering for how long.

Capcom was smart to delay Resident evil: the mercenaries, that title would have been the most bought at launch , I want it now!

Yeah, the machines they make us use at the store ARE kind of stupid. But the employee was right about whenever it says "coming soon"..it does mean that it's too late to pre-order.
Just know that our website still takes pre-orders but they'll be shipped to your house and NOT available for pickup in store.

(posted this in the Rayman thread)AGH damn you impressions!! I keep wanting to read only good things about Rayman to justify my purchase, but since Ngamer talked shit about it I got worried. Well here's something to ease all of our minds for a bit (I posted this tweet the other day because it sounded like he played Rayman, but apparently he just got it today):
Stuff that I posted yesterday, but these aren't impressions, he hadn't played it when he posted this.
He just posted this on his forum after playing it for the first time
Man I dont know, I think I'm gonna go off what this guy, and the other people have said about Rayman, instead of what Ngamer said. This guy actually was excited for Rayman 3D from reading his first tweet, so unless it gets completely worse, he sounds content with the port. I'd just wait before returning it, chances are that it can still be decent.

I'm not sure what Ngamer were looking for, but I've played the hell out of the Dreamcast version and this is looking and playing quite well to me so far. Long way to go, but I'm just not seeing all of the complaints they brought up. To each his own, though.
And yes, I'll have the review of Rayman 3D up on Friday morning.

Pretty sure they want to get as many "blind sales" as possible before reviews hit. That's really messed up when they themselves even know their software is shit and pull this kind of underhanded stuff.
I don't get what happened to Ubisoft. They have really let their image sink in the gutter. I guess they don't give a damn when they can just sell millions of copies of "Just Dance" and and another Assassins Creed for $$$

I guess I can't relate because I, for some weird reason has about 5 n64s throughout that generation, lol. And I got it on gamecube as well. It's funny, the Wii/DS were the first Nintendo systems I ever skipped, though I have played a bunch of DS games (borrowed).Dreamwriter said:

Um, 35 million N64s were sold.
The vast majority of gamers had one.

Compared to 102 million PSX's. 35/102 isn't a vast majority. Then the PS2 sold 150 million units, so more gamers who never owned an N64. Each generation the number of gamers has continued to grow, and each new gamer has never owned an N64.jamesinclair said:
