Nintendo 3DS Discussion Thread

May I suggest that we get back on track here before it gets crazy than it is.

Now with that being said, Seen over at Tiny Cartridge that the 3DS XL screens look way bigger in person than it has been seen in the press media. I do though have to say that it ain't as bad as some say it is. I mean, At least that it ain't like the Virtual Boy. Though everything has small faults that people whine about for no reason at all.

Time to start a revolution (maybe) with hands-on experience on the 3DS XL: http://kotaku.com/5921563/first-3ds-...clear-graphics

From Kotaku:

Several French gaming sites have published the first hands-on impressions. Thanks to Google Translate and friendly NeoGAF Posters, it would appear that the French demonstrators are quite impressed with the new, bigger handheld.

From a hands-on posted to the site Puissance Nintendo come the following impressions, along with the above video and image below (Google Translated via GAF):
- Huge screen
- Better viewing angle
- 3D effect looks better/more effective/more natural
- 2D mode looks better than regular 3DS
- Image looks better/softer (they assume there might be some filter but not sure)
- The grip (round corners) fit nicely
- Unit fits better in hands (they wonder if it should've been the main design in first place)
- Unit is lighter than they expected
- There's a coat in the unit (not fully matte) that gives it a "deluxe plastic imitating metal" look
- Not sure at the sound as the room was quite noisy

A second preview at Bamar En Live has a similar takeaway, with the translation saying that, vitally, the games don't look degraded on the 3DS XL's bigger screen. "While the image looked worse on a DSiXL than on a DSi, it's not the case here. 3DSXL pixels look as defined as on 3DS."

I know it was not practical enough, but I want to keep my old 3ds for the Circle Pad Pro. I like to play Left-Handed Kid Icarus: Uprising, and MGS3D.

I think the XL was a good concept though.

I may be the only one that really liked the CPP.

I'd like it if developers started using it.

EDIT: Anybody know what the update was about?

According to the 3DS gamefaqs boards, it's bug fixes and security updates. Boring crap, basically.

[Icay4321]

Meh, need to keep up on that stuff, at least they do it often enough so you don't have to worry about big crashes.

new update just blocks flashcarts and updates E.shop a bit.

Reading the various links posted throughout the last few pages would have told you that, yes, System Transfer is a basic and included utility.

Damn, that looks nice. If it weren't for the Wii U being released in the near future, I'd consider getting one.

Likely not.

As much as i hope for that, they won't just waste their time letting you do that.

[HoennDreamer]

damn i have a tough choice now :'(

If a System Transfer happens, will the system originally with the games still have the games, or not?

No. It returns to its original state when you first turned it on.

[Young Xehanort]

No. It returns to its original state when you first turned it on.

Ohh..
Hmmm....
I sure hope that ALL of the VC games work on the 3DS XL.

Anything that works on the 3DS word on the XL, they're the exact same thing. One is just large.

The 3DS XL is a 3DS, as we already reminded you multiple times in this thread.
