Yeah, the comparison is what I'm going for.
Basically what I'm trying to say is this:
You'd get Sprung as a gift for someone you didn't like.
You'd get Ping Pals as a gift for someone where shitting in their cornflakes is too good for them, you wouldn't want them to get any nutritional benefit from you whatsoever. :lol

Has this video about Kingdom Hearts 3D already been posted?

Nomura says the 3 in 3D could imply that this is the third iteration of the series.

Sprung had a Janis Joplin joke and a transexual Indian.

a hundred times including its own GAF thread
but of course, since Nomura specifically said there won't be a Kingdom Hearts 3 even by 2012, his comment is clearly just referencing that they're going to be putting a lot of effort into this game as if it was like a third incarnation, probably a Birth By Sleep calibre title in the series.

I don't think Nintendo would overlook something so simple. I have no doubt in my mind that the cradle is simply for convenience, and that you can plug the actual charger into the cradle or directly to the 3DS. Surely nintendo is aware that people want to play while charging.
Same charger as the DSi, is my bet since the first photos we saw back on E3. Plus, this is the same sheme as for GBA and DS.
This picture don't tell us something new. What, Nintendo use wires for charging a 3DS that needs to stand all the day for people who want to try it? Plus, some anti-steal device on its back too?

If you watch the TagMode video again, you can see that there is some kind of charger plugged to the craddle. And what happens if you want to play while charging? With that craddle you can't, so I believe that you can plug the charger directly to 3DS or simply plug it to the craddle and put 3DS there.

So excited about this thing. Even if it didn't have 3D I'd be excited. Just seems like a kick-ass system.
Paper Mario? Fuck yeah.

Not by a great deal, but enough so to serve Nintendo's purpose. Think of it this way, if you have the cradle on a desk already, all you need to do is place the system on it. If you're going to use a cable then you have to dig around for it off the floor between your 50 million other cables, untangle it and then plug it in. It's a small difference but in this day and age of super convenience it's noticeable.Gravijah said:

It could be argued that due to having a charging "home" for the 3DS..most users won't get to the point where they ever need to play while it's charging....
...they'll just automatically place the 3DS in the cradle when it's not being used. Meaning every morning it will be in a fully charged state (and it's unlikely they will fully discharge the 3DS in the space of that day).
It's a simple but very smart move by Nintendo IMO (especially considering their plans for wi-fi updates etc).

A Nintendo representative told me it would be a new charge-plug for the 3DS when I asked them during my hands-on at GamesCom.
I think an even bigger factor is that the cradle doubles as a display stand. Nintendo needs people talking about the device and early adopters showing it to other people, and the cradle ensures that it will be kept in a prominent spot where visitors should see it, which might encourage them to ask about it.Luigiv said:
I remember in january 2005 an european conference where they announced the EU DS launch details, including the date and price for march 2005.Frillen said:
I don't think they will (strongly) communicate again this year aound the 3DS, but as soon as the holiday period will end, we will get a strong focus on 3DS. It was the same planning for the GBASP. So, we will see in january 2011.

They also added the Peach coins challenge, the stage list to complete by beating it with both characters, score system tied with the last star you get in the title screen, the intro with the Picnic scene, the congratularions photo at the ending and other little things like having a total of 999 lives.
Yeah, I love this game.

am i the only one thinking that they made the DSi to off set the cost for the form factor for the 3DS? It's like yeah let's make a half way machine so we can make the 3DS form factor for much cheaper then if we had nothing to start with. Nintendo is so cheap

DSi was likely made more to test out enhanced online capabilities, like the store and apps.
