The best method for getting StreetPass hits seems to be mirroring the behavioral patterns of a pedophile.

Nintendo is for kids.

SEGA! SEGA! SEGA!

Yeah, I need to stalk the parks and malls sometime myself.

Got the Mario and Cat hats on hired heroes alone so far.

I can see the logic in these kinds of incentives to carry your system with you at all times, but it does really bite for early adopters when few other people have the system yet. And IMHO online registered Friends really should count as a SpotPass for the Mii stuff. I was hoping to bring in my RPM buddies as a team of anti-ghost heroes, but no such luck.

I will say this, though. Whoever thought of the pedometer/play coin thing knew what they were doing. Because that's the ONLY reason anyone not living in a crowded city doesn't just ignore SpotPass altogether.

I'm feeling deja vu from just doing this but here goes. As many know, I did not like the idea of the 3ds for several reasons, high price, not interested in a 3d function, as well as health risks to playing it. Well, as much as I wish I could say I was wrong, personally I was not. Again, on a personal level. I didn't care too much on the screen size and felt it could have been bigger, but the detail on it is impressive, the size of the machine is pretty conveniant for carrying in your pocket. My niche with it is and always will be the 3-d effect. Saying it hurt my eyes would only be one side of the story. Everytime I blinded I loss the 3-d effect and had to readjust, I began to develop a headache as well. And I noticed the switch that allowed me to turn off the 3-d effect so I did. But I began to wonder why bother at that point?

Why buy a machine so I can avoid it's main selling point? It just seems silly, sheeplike in a way. Namely for the sales price of it. I'm not trying to troll but needless to say, I don't see the point in buying a machine that makes me feel uncomfortable. I will be sticking with my DSi and hope that this 3-D fad ceases at one point or another.

Why buy a DS when you have a GBA? Why buy a GBA when you have a GBC? Is that enough of an answer?

Ramzal · **Reply #605 on:** April 03, 2011, 04:43:26 PM

But the GBC was and update from the GB because it added color. The GBA was an advancement of the color because its graphic advance to the GBC. It was practically like having a Super Nintendo in your pocket. The DS took it further by allowing internet, direct interaction and a better battery life. The 3-ds is a graphical leap (Thank god it's a small screen or else those games would look like crap.) but the battery life is laughable and (I know I am going in circles here) the selling point is the 3D. I am not going to buy something to ignore its main selling point. That's like buying a movie ticket to a 3d movie--PAYING MORE--and then saying "Eh. I don't feel like watching a 3-d movie" or "3-d movies make my head hurt" and then sneaking into a normal movie. It makes no sense. Beyond that, while it would be nice to get remakes of old games, I could just play the old version of the game again and leave it like that. Because odds are the remakes won't have much new content outside of a graphics leap. (OoT remake for an example.)

It's one thing if someone buys a 3-ds and plays it with the pop-out function (Cause lets not even kid ourselves here. That's all a 3d effect it. Someone had a video about that here) and then says "You know, I want to see what it looks like normally." That's different, because the function has been put to use out of enjoyment. But to buy it and just shut off the 3d function is just.... pointless.

why don't you just get a 3ds so you play 3ds games

Solar · **Reply #607 on:** April 03, 2011, 06:31:33 PM

*sigh* They'll eventually stop doing DS games and you'll have to get a 3DS if you ever want to play any new games, just like with the GB(C)->GBA or GBA->DS transition.

3D is just like HD, it may make games look prettier and it may also be the selling point of a console (360/PS3), but you don't need it to enjoy the games coming out for it.

I dislike having to repeat myself/risk sounding like a douche, but allow me to say it again. 3d is nothing more than a pop out effect. And even more, it makes me fell -sick- looking at it. Like. Literally. I'm not going to to buy something that makes me feel ill just touching it--as I did. I'm not going to get the 3d for that reason (And allow me -again- that yes, I did in fact play with a 3ds and it was not pleasent.) HD = I don't feel sick playing it. 3ds = I do feel sick playing it. And like I said, without the 3d option I personally don't see a point in paying for it. I know that I don't -need- it. I don't even want it, however I refuse to buy it seeing as how it's main selling point doesn't relate to me, nor am I willing to pay for something with so little battery life. Mainly when I play my handhelds when I'm not in my home for the most part. So, if I'm in my lab for about eight hours, working. The 3ds barely meets that and the price for it doesn't really strike my fancy.

Not to sound rude but, is it that hard of a concept to grasp? It just simply does not appeal to -me-. To you, sure. Just not to me.

Solar · **Reply #609 on:** April 03, 2011, 11:45:15 PM

Not to sound rude either, but to use your same words, is getting a console for the games that come out for it that hard of a concept to grasp? I dunno about you, but games are a better selling point to me than 3D.

Acid · **Reply #610 on:** April 04, 2011, 01:46:33 AM

In the end,I didn't get mine last Friday.

The thing is pretty cool but the shop had no games I'm interested in. I'll wait some more time.

I was unsure wether to post it here, or in the Monster Hunter thread. So I decided to post it in both:

http://nintendo3dsblog.com/monster-hunter-3ds-revealed-by-an-employee-translating-the-game-to-english

But one question: How does online work with the 3DS? Is it stable? Is international and intercontinental play possible?

VixyNyan · **Reply #611 on:** April 04, 2011, 02:55:01 AM

Online is great on DS systems in general. Most of the time, it's stable. It's wireless only tho. ^^;

Acid · **Reply #612 on:** April 04, 2011, 03:01:07 AM

Hm, is it easy to hook up though?

And could I play with you, Cephi or Sub Tank if the 3DS got a MH title?

VixyNyan · **Reply #613 on:** April 04, 2011, 03:09:27 AM

If you can hookup a Wii wireless connection, you can hookup a 3DS connection. ^^

Acid · **Reply #614 on:** April 04, 2011, 03:17:11 AM

Well that should work then.

But back to the other question: How far does the online reach?

xnamkcor · **Reply #615 on:** April 04, 2011, 07:08:52 AM

I do believe the internet is worldwide.

Acid · **Reply #616 on:** April 04, 2011, 12:34:03 PM

That's great to hear.

VirusChris · **Reply #617 on:** April 04, 2011, 02:23:42 PM

So getting the Monster Hunter game for the 3DS.

Hopefully I'll go hunting with some of my RPM buddies, should be fun.

Acid · **Reply #618 on:** April 04, 2011, 02:26:38 PM

To this day I wish MH3 had worldwide servers. Being restricted to Europe/Australia only sucks.

It's completely worldwide. Street Fighter 3D for example, has this.

Never played Monster Hunter before, so i hope they do make one for 3DS soon.

Turian · **Reply #620 on:** April 05, 2011, 08:24:45 AM

Thanks STM, awesome Iwata. Also, I went ahead and got one. Played SF4 on it at gamestop and loved the 3D THAT much.

Hypershell · **Reply #621 on:** April 07, 2011, 11:56:18 PM

Ramzal:
Zan has said this before, and I'll say it again: The full and sole purpose of buying ANY new system, is because it is newer, more powerful hardware for which future games will be made. That's it. 3D is a gimmick. It's one which I find enjoyable, and which after a day or two of break-in doesn't bug me in the least (assuming I'm not in a car, anyway). Nobody's going to blame you if the 3DS library thus far isn't your bag, but as with all systems that changes over time.

On battery, two things. One, the charging dock really does make things more convenient. I know it sounds stupid but just setting your system down to charge rather than fumbling with the plug makes it a lot more convenient to keep the system's battery full. Two, if you're planning on some marathon play time, shut off the wireless. I've yet to test but I'm fairly well convinced that Spot/Street Pass suck up far more battery life than the 3D display.

You and you alone decide if a software library is right for you, or if it's worth getting later rather than sooner. But the "3D is the main selling point" thing, well, that's just marketing bull, and when you cite THAT as your main reason for holding off, it makes it a lot harder to not sound like a douche.

Indeed it does. Apparently Ninja Lou is the only U.S. Tri player on RPM other than myself, and he's NEVER FREAKING ON. Can't tell you how much I wish I could strut my stuff with you and Vix.

Um technically I own the US version too (all 3 versions actually), and I play the US one the most.
But I still want to find time to play the game with any of you. ^^; Either on a Sunday or a weekday.

Acid · **Reply #623 on:** April 08, 2011, 12:03:49 AM

Oh yeah that's great just exclude me. It's alright.

No really, it is. Haven't touched Tri in a while.
