I have no globe in streetpass((

...then how does the person you're streetpassing them *from* get them?
Seems like I misremembered and it's actually SpotPass.

I think you can only get them from other people.
I have no globe in streetpass
Because you've only Streetpassed people from the same country...?
But how do THEY get them? It's a paradox.

They don't get the same portion of the panel pinked out, I'd guess.
You shouldn't over think these things or Nintendo will be out to get you.
From what people? People you've Streetpassed, or people you've been online with?

Thank you.
3DS Circle Pad battery life revealed - AAAmazing.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-12-08-3ds-circle-pad-battery-life-revealed
"Nintendo's much-derided 3DS Circle Pad Pro accessory has a beefy battery life of 480 hours, according to the device's manual (posted online by Andriasang).
That's about 100 times longer than the console itself.
The 3DS Circle Pad add-on bestows a second analogue slider and extra shoulder buttons on the handheld. It requires a single AAA battery to run.
Having 480 hours of battery life should placate gamers concerned at the need to use a screwdriver to access the device's battery compartment.
The 3DS Circle Pad Pro is available in Japan this weekend with Monster Hunter Tri G and launches on 27th January in Europe alongside Resident Evil: Revelations."

Nice. I was slightly worried about battery life.

listen to the mad man
I guess they're assuming by the time you run out of batteries, you'll have bought the hardware revision

3 hours * 22.5 days = 67.5 hours of battery life?
480 hours / 3 hours per day = 160 days of battery life.
Well, it's not much different than a TV remote and those last very long too.
Ha.I guess they're assuming by the time you run out of batteries, you'll have bought the hardware revision
A revision is only three AAA's away!

They just made the add-on for Monster Hunter, average game time for each release is about 500 hoursI guess they're assuming by the time you run out of batteries, you'll have bought the hardware revision
Sorry, but all the cool posts are here
... but this thread is for December 3DS news. I didn't really think the battery life of an add on was thread worthy.
I feel so neglected.
No it's not, it's for the 3DS system update that came this month.
No demo games for US and UK my friend.
9am Pacific, 1:15 from now.
No demos were listed in the PR for the update.

It would be more expensive. And I bet Nintendo wants to get this thing in the hands of everyone(pack-ins).

So do we have a "general discussion" 3DS thread? I'm looking for case suggestions.
In that case it is a terrible thread title.
It's a thread about the December firmware update called "3DS December Update Thread". It can't really be more detailed than that.
I'm pretty sure you're the first poster in this thread to mistake its purpose.
I did a search for 3DS .. first 4 were game specific, this came up on page 3
'3DS December update thread'
Which, to me, means December news for 3DS
It did not say;
'3DS December system update thread' , or '3DS December firmware update thread'
ergo
Terrible thread title.

I laughed so hard at that stop motion video Brian Cresente made on Kotaku. Hahahahaha.
So annoying. Every time I register a game I select 'download of a trial version' as my reason for purchasing. They know I'm lying and they're punishing me.
I believe you can only get them from SpotPass. Now, how exactly we receive them from SpotPass is another question...
Hahaha, the big N taunting you, one day man.. It'll be a reality.
I think you get them from Streetpass rather than Spotpass.
But how do you get them from streetpass if somebody else doesn't get it from spotpass first? Remember those pieces cannot be bought with play coins.
