Seems like the FW update will affect this game in a big way, future games probably built to handle the FW upgrade already.
I'm just speculating.

This isn't even everything on my menu. I'd like to be able to condense this a bit.

A few shorcut glitches, especially the one from a track called Maha Wuhu that let's you skip 2/3 of the race.

Can we name our folders? Or is that going to be a patch for folders?

YAY FOLDERS!

The video made it seem like they could be named.

I have over 100 icons on my home menu. I wasn't really that worried about getting folders, but now that they're adding them I'll definitely make use of them.

Smiles and Cries · (04-21-2012, 05:04 AM)

this stuff better be all day one on WiiU
I'm so happy to see Nintendo learning :3 but get it right day 1 on WiiU plz

Matts Legacy · (04-21-2012, 05:05 AM)

Nintendo...is patching games..? And folders for more space on the handheld?!

kunonabi · (04-21-2012, 05:06 AM)

patches for Love Plus is great but probably much too late.

You know nothing!

Lijik · (04-21-2012, 05:13 AM)

I am so goddamn excited for folders.
I can finally stop having to deal with the hassle of reorganizing EVERYTHING just to move one new item to where I want it because the 3DS management is such shit.

Even reorganizing things on the DSi wasnt such a chore

Kokonoe · (04-21-2012, 05:14 AM)

3DS is really shaping up to be a great system.

18-Volt · (04-21-2012, 05:14 AM)

Maybe new patch would allow DLC characters for Mario Kart 7. I really want my Waluigi back.

Boogiepop · (04-21-2012, 05:15 AM)

YAY! Mario Kart 7 Wifi shall be saved! I was worried it'd be ruined forever thanks to that damn glitch and people constantly spamming it, but no more!

Oh, and folders are great too! I've definitely been getting a little cluttered.

jokkir · (04-21-2012, 05:16 AM)

Can people refuse to patch the game? Like will they get blocked out connecting online without first patching?

IrishNinja · (04-21-2012, 05:17 AM)

bigger than the PS3 clockfix?

They didn't say, but it may be like 360 where if you don't agree to the update, you can't go online. They just said there'd be patches, though. MK7 is in May, so we'll find out, then. :)

When they updated the ambassador titles, they asked when you entered the eShop, if you wanted to patch it.

I imagine the server will refuse your connection (in Mario Kart for instance), if you don't have the updated version of the game.

SaintMadeOfPlaster · (04-21-2012, 05:22 AM)

My Home menu is so cluttered. This is probably my favorite announcement from the show.

Newsboy · (04-21-2012, 05:22 AM)

Have been wanting folders for ages. usually grumble something about folders everytime I see my menu system.
I really hope that the Wii U mirrors everything that is slowly making the 3DS better and better.

WiiRevolution1 · (04-21-2012, 05:25 AM)

Watched the video, not only can you have folders but HUUUUUGE folders! Damn! Its just so beautiful, and only five days!

Nintendo, you are awesome.

Wiz · (04-21-2012, 05:26 AM)

Yes, maybe now I can play MK7 online more now!

AND FOLDERS!

Jaruru · (04-21-2012, 05:27 AM)

so Nintendo delivers!!! :D

Wiggler · (04-21-2012, 05:27 AM)

My mind is officially blown. Patching Mario Kart 7 is the best news yet. So, so happy to hear that. I went into Nintendo Direct with extremely low expectations, but that really made my day. Well, that and folders. FOLDERS!

Not mentioned but it's pretty damn obvious that refusing to patch will prevent you going online. The whole point of the patch is to prevent people from continuing to use the exploit online, not to mention allowing different patch versions to run on the same servers at the same time would just cause more glitches.

Bruiserk · (04-21-2012, 05:29 AM)

At least the capacity is bigger than the default iPhone folder size.

WFC had a few tricks that would stop you from connecting.

In fact one time I couldn't connect for two months because my little cousin changed my name to something offensive. Eventually the right error message came up and I figured out why I couldn't connect.

botty · (04-21-2012, 05:30 AM)

What?

3DS is evolving!

Congratulations! Your 3DS evolved into a better 3DS!

Yep. Not mention it'd pretty trivial to bar people from playing online with the wrong version number. Either the game currently already sends the servers it's version info or it doesn't. Either way the server is not going to be receiving the right version number and can easily block you for it.

Also apparently some more major bugs if your DS character is brought over.

linko9 · (04-21-2012, 05:42 AM)

I hardly ever use my 3DS, and I've got way too many icons cluttering up the home screen. These folders will be very welcome.

tim.mbp · (04-21-2012, 05:43 AM)

Finally, I can now hide my porn in a inconspicuously named folder. Thank you Iwata.

I've been waiting to hear about this game too bad, I don't see how this is the 3DS's fault I would like to know what went wrong here

Wouldn't surprise me if the dev team didn't get to work on the game after it was delayed. It wouldn't be the first time a publisher did something like that.
