I believe you can just change the location on your 3DS to a country that has Club Nintendo and you can be part of it. AFAIK, Nintendo doesn't IP-lock these things.How I love living in Sweden, without a Club Nintendo or rewards program whatsoever

I'd say no. There is literally nothing to it. I was very disappointed. Rotohex and Cubello are both better games. Even lilt line if you like the music.

From a youtube video I just watched no. It has a over world thing that is really just a hub. Not a big world but it has one.
Yes.
I still would have to register retail games, and have a Club Nintendo account to be able to get the rewards. And you need to have an UK (or other participating country) address to get an account I believe.
I'm actually not buying WiiWare games that are cheaper on other platforms/via other means. That's why I don't have much choice on WiiWare when it comes to good titles.
Ah, you're right. If the retail games don't come with codes then there's little you can do about it, and importing the games from the UK is probably not worth the extra shipping.
In America, only the US and Canada have Club Nintendo benefits, yet the retail games have codes in every country, as there's only one version of the game in the entire continent. I live in Chile and gotten plenty of CN benefits, including some of the physical rewards which I've had mail-forwarded to me from the US.
snes games had a bigger resolution than the 3DS though

Depends on the game, but most SNES titles are 256 x 224 which would fit easily on the 3DS top screen in 2D mode (400 x 240).
Oh, I didn't know that.
Edit: I was just wondering because I would like to have a copy of Super Metroid on my 3DS to go along with Metroid, Metroid 2, Metroid Fusion, and eventually Zero Mission.

There was only one game (RPM Racing) that used the SNES's hi-res mode for actual gameplay.
You're thinking the DS, right? Because 400x240 > 256x224.
There's nothing about that in the manual. The iDevices use a different kind of battery than the 3DS.

Some games used it for menus (the Mana games did iirc), but yeah. I think SNES on 3DS VC will happen eventually, as will Master System, MSX/2, Genesis and NeoGeo.

Alrighty. Thanks for the reply. So basically, treat it kinda like the original DS and be careful not to let it completely die out.
3DS forces an auto shut down at around 5% of battery life left.
10 Second Run is a shit game so you can't go wrong with VVVVVVV
YES OH MY GOD YES!

This. Apps, VC (with sub-folders for NES/GB/GBA), and 3DSWare would be perfect.
I've wanted this shit since Wii.
Hey SCREW YOU 10 Sec Run is awesome. And so is Rabi x Labi.
It's entirely justifiable. I have it on Steam, Humble Bundle, and the 3DS version is the one I play. Why? Because it boots up quickly and also has a nice layout of using the bottom screen for map. (Plus I hate having to boot up Steam just to run the game.)
Add to the fact this is actually an expanded from the PC version which debuted at $15 and you got yourself a good deal.

I live in austria. we don't have a club nintendo(well we do but it's shitty and has nothing to register games etc) but I set my 3Ds to germany and have a german club nintendo account with registered retail games. So you don't need a foreign adress. we do have codes in retail games though(not always but sometimes)
it's odd that you don't have a sweden nintendo club. isn't one of the NOE headquartes in sweden?
Desert Fighter/Air Strike Patrol used it also in the cut sense/mission briefings. but I think it wasn't a "real" high-res mode the SNES used but more an interlaced mode which doubled the vertical res to 478.
I'm still wondering how intelaced would look on an LCD screen.

I can test it. I have a 42" LCD TV, a SNES and desert strike sitting here.
edit: wait, why should it look different than on CRT?
So, hey, they're trying to put The Binding of Isaac on 3DS after all. It's up to Nintendo to give the go ahead.

A CRT can actually be driven interlaced (the beam doing interlaced scans). An LCD cannot (well, unless it was deliberately designed to, which most are not).
To see how an interlaced output would look on an LCD, you just need to watch an interlaced video - those are still found around.

You're right, I did not take into account deinterlacers. But some desktop players can be told not to deinterlace (or don't deinterlace by default) - if used with an interlaced video they give a fairly good idea of the effect.
Having just bought Isaac the other day for $1.24 and spending around 10 hours playing it over the past couple days, I have to say I would definitely double-dip for a 3DS version.

Serous buyers remorse with VVVVVV. I knew I didn't like it, but was hoping that the 3D effects would be awesome. And wooooooooooooooooooow are they lousy. It's basically: here is your text box popping out from the screen.
Welcome to the one bane of DD, you can't return or trade in purchases. I took a risk in buying VVVVVV, luckily I'm having a lot of fun with it. What's your issue with the game?
Dash Kappei
Not actually that important
Still no VVVVVV? Fuck.

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
Only 24 hours left now. Not looking good.
You paid $8 for possibly neat 3D effects?
Reggie's a liar.
As I feared, can't trust a man with a shiny chin. =C

Hrm... This might be a dumb question but is flipnote studio not on the 3ds eshop?
It is not.

Soooo the folks who run the eShop were just being dicks by taunting us with the zelda flipnote winners? Well joy.
