My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.

the wii was completely lacking in that regard.

Nintendo's looking to improve their shop to be more "window-shopping" friendly, so we'll see where that goes. At the moment there's the Mario and DK categories featured in the eShop, but hopefully there will be categories for other types of games as well to grab people's interest.amtentori said:all aconsole makers should take a page for microsoft about interface design. not that microsofts ui is amazing, but they do a great job at pushing new content and upcoming games on the dashboard.

Just multiplayer?
I meant that picture actually showing a left-handed gamer - if it's in Nintendo's press kit, then they can't deny that those people exist.VOOK said:I tweeted to Sakurai asking, no response

amtentori said:probably a lot of the detailed specifics... but not enough for competitors to adopt their own versions.
I mean nintendo did show you 'new game on shop channel' on the tiny shop channel channel every so often. they also sent you messages every once in a while about new updates. and of course the nintendo channel.
They basically have to do that, but much better.
weekly messages with new releases.
messages for DLC or updates to games you own.
of course have more demos and videos at the same place you buy the games.
have demos and videos that dont go away after a while for both retail and DD.
make recommendations based on what games your friends are playing. (nintendo did a bit of this inside specific games, it needs to be fully integrated)
of course have a unified friend list with chat on the UI, invites on the UI, messages on the UI, no more game specific crap.
It really isnt rocket science. Especially when there are plenty of companies out there doing a pretty good job.
Nintendo is a big advocate of user friendliness, pick up and play, intuitive, simple designs. The Wii and DS infrastructure especially revolving around online stuff was the most backwards thing imaginable to those principles.
-To find games to buy, you had to search for them in bunches of 8 or so with no alphabetical list showing all possible games. and it was slow as hell.
-to view a video or download a demo you had to go to a completely different page or completely different channel
- to add more points to buy a game you have to enter your cc information everytime and also click through 4 pages of Yes, are you sure, are you really sure?
- to play with your friends online you have to exchange a different code everytime you buy a new game. even if you have already confirmed them as your friend on the console or other games.
- you cant communicate with your friends online while playing a game. (in most games)
- you dont know if your friends are online and what they are playing.
the list goes on and on and on.

AceBandage said:Pretty much every complaint you have here is fixed with the 3DS.
amtentori said:I am much MUCH less optimistic than you.
Will have to wait and see.
When it comes to stubbornness, Nintendo is king.
weekly messages with new releases.
messages for DLC or updates to games you own. Done through both streetpass and spot pass as confirmed by Nintendo and third parties
of course have more demos and videos at the same place you buy the games. Demos are unknown but all games will now have trailers on the eShop channels
have demos and videos that dont go away after a while for both retail and DD. See above
make recommendations based on what games your friends are playing. (nintendo did a bit of this inside specific games, it needs to be fully integrated) Done through the eShop channel as well. All games will have a ratings system and a time spent played count
of course have a unified friend list with chat on the UI, invites on the UI, messages on the UI, no more game specific crap. Already done. One single friend code exchanged once (or never if you are in the same room as the person you can add them without any codes) Messages and all else handled straight from the Friends List

-To find games to buy, you had to search for them in bunches of 8 or so with no alphabetical list showing all possible games. and it was slow as hell. You can now search specific game titles and the eShop is set up with much more specific categories

- to add more points to buy a game you have to enter your cc information everytime and also click through 4 pages of Yes, are you sure, are you really sure?This one is unknown but it's likely more streamlined like the rest of the system
- to play with your friends online you have to exchange a different code everytime you buy a new game. even if you have already confirmed them as your friend on the console or other games.As mentioned above, one code period and they are added for all games ever
- you cant communicate with your friends online while playing a game. (in most games)Can view friends list and message them while in game along with other functions like taking notes and going on the internet
- you dont know if your friends are online and what they are playing.3DS Friends List will show who is online and what they are playing, including games without an online mode
Those are European press shots as far as I understand.Rahxephon91 said:White people sure seem to like the 3DS.

Tathanen said:Oh you guys.
YOU GUYS.
(P.S. You can't message friends, not via the firmware at least. NOA (Bhildorf? Trinen?) said that the "goal" is to be able to message from your global friend list, but that is functionality that Does Not Exist at this point.)
Youll be able to send messages back and forth to your friends as well. When your 3DS receives a message in sleep mode, the Notification LED lights up in green. Additionally, the Notifications icon in the Home menu will change when youve received a new message.

AceBandage said:The Wii allows you to message people on your Friends List. There's no way that feature won't be on the 3DS.
Yeah, we still have no idea what messaging features there are going to be, if any. One of the recent Famitsu issues talked about the Friends List interface (which shows that you can do some interaction with online friends in it), but I don't think anyone translated that.Tathanen said:Yeah, I know sites reported that. They were wrong. They cited sources that never mentioned it at all, extrapolating street/spotpass data that arrives in games as being "user messages."
