It was shot on DSLR meaning its not ideal for video shooting, or so I'm told haha. Which also means the auto focus thing doesn't happen apparently. This is one of our first videos though, and I wanted to have something better than just a webcam unboxing.

Our boxing of next year's new newer 3DS will be much better shot ;)

For BelgiumGAF, I just checked and the exact same thing happened on the Belgian site.

Old Verkoopvoorwaarden said DPD
New Verkoopvoorwaarden says DHL

So... yeah. I don't know ¯_(ツ)_/¯

For BelgiumGAF in the french version of the website, they dont mention any DPD or DHL...
http://www.nintendo.be/fr/Mentions-legales/Ambassador/Conditions-de-vente-946392.html

They also so on the Dutch version that the orders are treated by Nintendo Germany and on the French Version by Nitendo France... But right now it doesn't matter to me, I just want some informations about shipping and my 3DS ambassador delivered as in uk or other countries. I just hate being kept in the Dark without any informations !
 
Mine arrived today and I've just finished the transfer. Overall it's pretty nice. I'm happy that Smash automatically uses the new buttons, and that the 3DS effect looks clearer. The speakers are also a huge improvement over the XL, which had awful, awful speakers.

Looking forward to the official New XL release so I can put this back in it's box for all time and play on larger screens.

What country?

Yeah that's the one, it's cheaper without an adapter but get the adapter if you need to transfer some stuff.

That's the one I bought as well. Seems fine so far. Had no problems copying over my data from my old SD card and the games I own digitally are running great.

That's a damn good price for 32gb. I highly doubt you'd need much more space than that, given how small most 3DS games are.
Click to expand...
Maybe if your entire collection is digital and you own a damn lot of games, but yeah. I personally have Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Fantasy Life, Shin Megami Tensei 4, Rune Factory 4, LoZ A Link Between Worlds, and loads of other smaller games like 3D classics, virtual console stuff and other E-Store only games like Crimson Shroud. That all comes to just under 9gb.
 
Still waiting for Yodel and its delivery. Been out for delivery all day. Guarantee they'll throw an "attempted to deliver" lie up :( They said to allow until 9pm though

Nine times out of ten when I have a Yodel shipment, it arrives between 8:45 and 9pm. I don't know what they do with their day (judging by the rest of their service it probably has little to do with delivering parcels), but they sure work late. Don't lose hope! :)

Mine shipped today, got the email this afternoon and it was sent out only two hours later! Excited for Monday.
 
Finally remembered the old email address I had for club Nintendo in the hope that I had an email..no dice, on the plus side though I registered my sons smash brothers DS and got a code for a free Zelda! Hoping for a proper UK release soon, need some 3DS SNES coloured action.

Fingers crossed. Guess I'm lucky I'm ill as I was meant to go out of town for a friend's birthday tonight haha

Yodel are weird and deliver Saturdays and sometimes Sundays. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be coming today since I just went with Standard. Was expecting it Monday
 
Does anyone's plate squeek slightly on bottom left (if you're look at the back of the DS)?

A minor annoyance but my backplate can be pressed in slightly doing so when holding it a bit tighter
 
So I've got the email today, but the Club Nintendo UK account tied to my email account seems to no longer exist, despite Nintendo sending me frequent messages over the last year or so. And the link in the email will only accept the password for my old account (which I can't remember), not a password made for a new CNUK account associated with same email account.

I'm not really concerned, since I want the XL one, but it seems kind of dumb to terminate my old account, Stars and all, simply because I haven't logged in for a (long-ish) while.
 
The offer was supposed to be until midnight of the 12th, so honestly we should hopefully be expecting a Nintendo direct concerning the official release on the 13th, and hopefully one for North America as well.

After showing my friend my ambassador 3DS, he wants one to import. Whats the best option for the UK?

365games keep getting stock in of it, they ship from the UK to the UK. They've put the prices up a lot since they first put it up. May still end up cheaper than importing due to customs. Play-Asia are selling them, but you'll most likely get hit by import tax, so make sure to take that into account when you're looking at prices.

Why doesn't he just wait a few weeks ... I'm fully expecting him to regret importing one since the official release will be announced very very soon.

Hah thanks, I relayed the options for him and he said might as well wait.

It's not going to release on the 13th. If it will release, it's going to be on a Friday in Europe.

I'm looking at February or March tbh, not January.

Edit: Read it wrong, nvm

My normal (read: not New) 3DS XL creaks at the back, and I've only had it a few weeks. I had a look online and it looks like this is a pretty common issue with XLs due to there being a space between the back cover and the battery. People have resolved it by opening up the cover and sticking in a few playing cards.

Ive never had this or the screen scratching problem with my XL (Fire emblem edition). Do we know if the new xl has this problem? I dont want to upgrade and have this issue.
 
FYI after my email to customer services, I got the email today so my new 3DS is on its way. Pretty excited to be getting it.
 
welp, seems I'm SOL

a friend of mine received the mail. He wanted an XL, doesn't like white, yet he's thinking about getting it to sell it.
I'm feeling kinda crestfallen.

If anyone is looking for a (relatively haha) pro shot unboxing of the new 3ds I did one for my site The Metropolist.

Really impressed with the n3ds so far, will upload a written and video review over the next couple of days if anyone is interested :)

If you do a substantial analisys on how the 3D works across different games, with motion controls and the range/angles of the effect. Then i would gladly look at it, i always like to see these types pf indepth reviews about the New 3DS XD
 
For those that havn't seen how it looks when it adjusts the 3D image when you move your head or the new 3DS, the screen flickers (really fast but it's noticeable) until its finished adjusting the image. It can look a little weird at first, but its only really noticable on white backgrounds. You can still see some slight double image artifacts if you haven't got the screen exactly angled (or level) with your eyes, but that's impossible for Nintendo to fix.

Overall its a vast improvement, as good as it can get.

I think the thing is when when you start up the system and you're trying the super-stable 3D and essentially trying to break it on the set-up screen then the adjustment is really noticeable, especially since it's a static, light-coloured screen. I was initially disappointed but then found it basically unnoticeable during actual gameplay.
