I tried playing .Hack//Infection, but I died way too early/easily. Luckily the Terminal Disk recaps that story. I'm playing G.U. now. I just finished the first Volume.

Replace "9gag" with "jews" or "black people" and you'll understand just how silly it sounds.

Happy July 4th guys



He must be dead in that picture. As of his death, the most recent flag was 15 stars.

They were fine when they stuck to kids shows, but when they started editing shows to be kids shows, that's when they went wrong.

Considering how strong Reggie's emphasis was on their DLC not being on-cart and not being developed until after the main game is considered "complete" internally, I do have to wonder on that one...

But I think the more likely reason is that the Circle Pad Pro isn't just an extra pad; it's also extra shoulder buttons.  Unless you go the original Wii Classic Controller route, which I think everyone agrees is uncomfortable and largely useless, it is extremely difficult to have more than two shoulder buttons on a handheld without screwing with its profile.  To have a second pad with only two shoulder buttons will further fragment the possible control setups and probably leave a 3rd party dev or two banging their head against the wall.  It's also possibly not the best image for Nintendo to include extra traditional inputs as the "default" of their new model that they know the majority of the 3DS's library will ignore them.

And call me a blind Miyamoto worshipper if you must, but I think the man is onto something when he says that the gyroscope when used properly does a fine job in most situations.  It certainly made aiming a lot easier in Zelda.

As with the DSiXL, the 3DSXL is meant as an alternative rather than a replacement.  It has no additional features such as the DSi introducing a shop, or even the Lite's brightness adjustment.  It's just, literally, bigger.  Bigger battery and bigger SD card included, but still, just bigger.

Frankly I wasn't impressed with the DSiXL's screens; I thought they were too large and fuzzy for such a small resolution.  3DS being a bit higher res, maybe it would work better, but I'd need to see one in a store demo before I ever considered buying one under any circumstances (I do have to admit, even if I myself don't care much for ballooning my 3DS, a Christmas gift that could net me a NSMB2 co-op partner, that has some merit to it).
One of these days I seriously need to send you my Riivolution music hack for NSMBWii.  'course, I still need to do the fast versions so that your soul isn't crushed by the high-speed bah-bah's when the timer is low.
That is true. having separate hardware would split things very badly.

I did notice some changes.
The Start/Select buttons are actual buttons instead of whatever it is they used in the original. They look much easier to push.
The Power button has a lower profile.
All LEDs are visible from the side and front.
The 3D Slider might be longer.
Moved the earphone jack.
Mic is now labelled.
The pictogram on the 3D slider is now more accurate.


It's clear that while they didn't want to branch the 3DS control schemes, they did put some decent effort into rectifying some problems.

Did they happen to mention why they didn't include a second analog in the XL design?
Is it that they don't see a future in it?
They just really want to screw over Capcom, who worked hard on it and probably planned to be able to use it for their future games?
Wanted to do it as a lesson to all other companies who try to make their own accessories?
Had this iteration of the 3DS planned so early that they didn't have time to include it?

Photobucket only allows 1MB per image, but if you're using PNG or know how to do lossless JPG cropping you can just merge them with BBCode.

They're the only one I know with decent privacy settings.

I had to turn off adblock just to see the ads. The lesson: Use adblock and you won't see adult ads.

So does that mean if I own an original 3DS, and buy a XL version, then I can street pass each of my own systems as many times as I want to, as long as the time frame is different? Cause it's getting harder and harder (as long as they keep putting out new 3D image galleries) to get the pink pieces, and I'm still missing a few. I heard when you reset a system, you supposedly get a randomized piece. But maybe it's worth a shot, I donno.

I could also street pass my other Mii in my current 3DS for the find mii game, and keep leveling up to the highest  level possible, making it easier to destroy the enemies.  8)

If you are willing to have one with no DLC content or pay double. From what I recall Nintendo doesn't allow one account on more than one device of the same platform.

838
Yeah, not that much more expensive.

Should be $200~ tops if you don't have an AC Adapter it can use yet.

It's officially $199 for NA and will launch in August.

Damn, that's soon o__0

If they made it any bigger the parallax barrier might now even work without using some kind of extending gadget arms.

This is exactly why I never believe someone when they say that Nintendo won't release an updated version.

It's a paradox!

It's more like a nested function or a redundancy.
A paradox requires some sort of conflict.

I can confirm this episode was broadcasted in the US.

Also, it's S01E13

They were probably considering about the current model's design before the release, and the four traditional buttons wouldn't fit the current configuration of the handheld.

The current model? The current model when they were developing the GBA was the GBC. The only GBA/DS to ever be too small for four buttons was the GBA Micro.

Was it, perhaps, produced before Nintendo considered putting four face buttons on their handheld?  The world may never know.

They probably considered it since the SNES. I would believe it if someone said the DMG/GB couldn't handle it. I would believe it if someone said the CGB/GBC would really use it that much because it focused on NES ports and like games. But the GBA was SNES ports and like games. Such are the mysteries of Nintendo.

I wonder why GBA didn't have the 4 button layout on the face. Was there some kind of technical limitation? Were they lazy? Was it just too expensive to put two more buttons on it?

That would prolly freak me out in the early morning... if I ever went to bed at night.

It's even creepier when the tree moves and the whole room fluctuates in brightness when the sun is on the opposite position.

If you catch it at the right time, you have two shadows. One from the sun and one from the sun's reflection off the wall.

Correct me if I be wrong, but why not just get the UMDs?

Might have something to do with the physical disks need to exist physically for him to purchase them, while buying from PSN only requires that there be a digital copy on the server. Also, the shipping for physical objects costs more than for digital downloads.
