I have the same problem. I can wipe it off, but it's noticeable. Looks like a fault of design. Hopefully it won't cause any permanent marks. Screen protectors should compensate for it though.BGBW said:
As of now, I simply use the little piece of cloth that came with the system to protect the upper screen when the unit is closed. That way I also have something to wipe off smudges ready at all times^^

You're welcome.
Trust me, I didn't figure it out myself at first either.
Only after returning to the store thinking something was wrong and having the clerk shove it in there with full force, not caring if it broke or not did both of us realize that it's just incredibly tight.
Never had this with any of my past systems.
It really does!CoolS said:Wow, that stuff works fast
From playing around with all the options and features the 3DS feels like the culmination of all the testing and experimenting that was done with the Wii and DS.
Things that worked in the past have improved and things that didn't have been reinvented or completely abandoned for something that does.
Really loving the polished feel of the whole interface.

Did you guys know you can convert those 'side-by-side' 3D images to MPO for viewing on the 3DS?
You just need to get them at the right resolution (400x240?), and use a utility like FujiFilm's FinePixViewer (http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/software/)... select two images of identical resolution and the option to combine them becomes available under Image Utilisation.
You can also use Stereo Photo Maker, which might be easier: http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stphmkr/
You can convert your MPO files to normal side by side JPEGS, or red/cyan images etc using the MPO toolbox - http://www.stereoscopynews.com/download/software/654-mpo-toolbox.html

Dude, where'd you get SSFIV for 299 SEK? What store and where are you located? I can only find prices like that online..synt4x said:Two of my friends just picked up a 3DS each with SSF4 3D. They said that there were no lines whatsoever, or even any people at all and that they didn't even have the 3DSs out in the store. You had to ask for them. And this was in one of the bigger electronics stores in Sweden.
So perhaps the hype isn't so huge over here that they sell out immediately
Edit: Super Street Fighter 4 was 299 SEK. I thought it would be more expensive actually.
Edit2: Oh and these folks are hardcore Playstation fans that have never owned a Nintendo console before, let alone a handheld. But even they were fucking hyped yesterday.

Question, dudes -
I picked up a few Mii characters from StreetPass yesterday, however when I try to use them in StreetQuest or the Puzzle game is says I haven't met anyone. Also they do show up in the little garden thing, however do I need to enable something to use them in the games?

Did you log out of the game or is it still visible in the background on the home menu?
If so, press close on the bottom of the screen so that it shuts down the game cartridge.
At that point you should be able to remove the cart and put in another one.
Try to not take a cartridge out of the system when it's still active, in the game itself or in the background of the home menu when you interrupted the gameplay by pressing the home button.

You must use them at once. You can't recieve Miis in the plaza and then do something else. Really shitty design, as I had three visiting Miis and five bought heroes and wanted to show off SSF to a buddy real quick - came back to SP Quest and they were all gone without me using them.

It does say in the manual to turn the 3DS off to switch games...

This happened in Face Raiders too. Took photos of someone else, but didn't play the game with them, instead went back to "Collection" and they had vanished.

Four days in, and Ridge Racer is currently sitting as my favourite launch title. It's so good. Especially in 50% 3D with a pair of full sized headphones pumping Ridge tracks directly into your brain.
Oh, and the DSi has taught me to not switch the machine off to switch games, and I've not been turning the 3DS off either. I've always completely quit out of games before switching cards though. Is the official line from Nintendo to shut your machine down?

Why are there two sections for your WIFI information?
Settings > Internet Settings > Nintendo DS Connections
Settings > Connection Settings (used this one for updating firmware)

Hmmm....seems cool. I tried uploading one of mine here: http://3dporch.com/DDSR.mpo It looks pretty good viewed on the 3DS. (Minor spoilers for fishing AR game I guess!)Cyport said:
Might upload more later.
More here (AR spoilers): http://3dporch.com/users/Disguises
EDIT: (better explanation) DS games can use the first, but not the second. DSi and 3DS can use both (I think).KennyLinder said:
Been doing the exact same thing.Android18a said:
Quality Sennheiser headphones on and enjoying every minute of it.
The more I play it the more I start to love the game even more.
Still keep the slider at 100% myself though, haven't had any problems yet.
That's how I do it as well.Android18a said:
But you have to make sure the software is fully closed before removing the cart.
So don't just press the Home button or close the DS and remove it, that will not be good for the game and the save data.
The manual is a bit confusing though.
The pamphlet that comes with it says to always shut off the system completely before removing carts.
Yet the actual manual says the following:
So from that I make it that it's fine to remove carts that have been closed completely even though the system is not turned off, just like it was on the DSi.

Are you sure it says turn off the 3DS and not just turn off the game? I've done it several times without any problems. My Chrono Trigger card had to be re-inserted for it to be detected, but other than that I've had no problems.KennyLinder said:

No problems, I have my German 3DS switched to English.MNC said:
Ok, the 3DS has vastly exceeded my expectations.
The screen really is gorgeous, the 3D demo video drops the jaw of everyone who has seen it. No problems with headaches, and the sweet spot isn't as fussy as I thought it would be.
Really like the look and feel of it as well (got the black one), but the main thing that has done it for me has been all the built in stuff. The AR games, Face Raiders, the menus, everything about it seems fresh. Everyone was taking turns on it and genuinely having a laugh, it's very Wii Sports in that sense. 2 of my friends went straight down town earlier after seeing it to buy one each.
To sum up, it basically feels like Nintendo's last stand against smartphones. Which fits with what Iwata had been saying. Giving you a different type of experience all round, and an experience beyond what you had before with a portable console.
Really looking forward to seeing what comes next.

Whoops, I missed this. The hat is a great addition! I forgot there were hats as hairstyles :ODisguises said:This one any better? I think the hat does look better than the hair.
Someone else can edit from there if they want
I'll toy around a bit more with this once I get back home
AR cards, especially graffiti, seems to be what I'll demo for people right off the bat. It's all pretty impressive. The most impressive 3D I've seen has to be the standard DS system menus, which is sort of funny.
The 3D, after about twenty minutes of play, does give me a bit of a nausea even on the lowest setting.. so I'm sure to only take it in small doses. Not like I need 3D on for Street Fighter as it is.

I did not know that.
The only problem I have with the system now is that there will not be a lot of games for a while. I am basically going to play Ghost Recon and regular DS games until RE: Mercenaries comes out in the summer. I really hope we get some cool announcements for Fall/Winter during E3.
kamkor said:
It's actually the focus point that you are adjusting.
The way it works is that you take an object you want to be the focal-point of the picture and you move the slider until both images of that object align.
Then you let go of the slider and the software will automatically adjust to the focal-point you chose.
