He is the first special Mii.

That's strange. My first special Mii was Iwata-san, many weeks ago~

Mirby · **Reply #1026 on:** March 28, 2012, 01:18:24 AM

I think this could be the first special Mii for NA 3DS's; we did get Reggie instead of Iwata sooo yeah. D:

Well, this is surprising.

I never took Nintendo for the type of company to delve so deeply into the 'digital' market. But I'm more interested in them allowing for old super-rare games to be available on the eShop like Shantae. I've been waiting for that ever since I heard about the 3DS' VC service.

yeah the original Shantae would be a great VC game (provided they have the GBA-enabled area active).

for that matter they should bring the oracle games to VC as well (with the advance shop open). you could easily use the Game Notes feature to write down the passcodes and stuff for a linked game.

Mighty Switch Force update coming on Thursday!

also in relation to my last post, when checking the wayforward blog there was an old entry regarding shantae on 3ds vc, and it said they were actively trying. it was several months old, but it's still a hope i guess.

Satoryu · **Reply #1031 on:** May 22, 2012, 05:50:16 PM

Oh that's really cool. This game is a real gem. I wonder if this is going to cost anything?

Mirby · **Reply #1032 on:** May 22, 2012, 08:25:04 PM

No, the update is free.

Satoryu · **Reply #1033 on:** May 23, 2012, 04:32:14 AM

That's good. Though I wouldn't have minded paying a buck or two. I still have plenty of points left over.

Solar · **Reply #1034 on:** June 22, 2012, 05:48:04 AM

So, a bigger 3DS with slightly better battery life just got announced at the Nintendo Direct that is streaming right now.

I so need to get one.

Police Girl · **Reply #1035 on:** June 22, 2012, 05:49:22 AM

I've heard about this already.

Isn't it going to be more expensive?

Solar · **Reply #1036 on:** June 22, 2012, 05:57:19 AM

They're not including an AC Adapter with it so that doesn't happen >.>

The equivalent in dollars of the announced price is $190~

So, still more expensive than the current model, like the DSiXL compared to the DSi.

Solar · **Reply #1038 on:** June 22, 2012, 06:07:49 AM

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

Satoryu · **Reply #1039 on:** June 22, 2012, 06:47:59 AM

I'd put a Shut Up and Take my Money picture here, but that'd be too obvious. This'll be great for me. I can trade in my DSiXL when I get it, and trade in my little 3DS once I transfer everything over. And just in time for Kingdom Hearts too. The D pad looks to be in a better spot too. I'm sometimes bothered by how low the D pad is on the 3DS. All I'm hoping for now is that the screens don't scratch when it's closed.

Actually maybe I'll hold on to the old 3DS if a mod with video out comes around.

Yup, loopy is working on that one.

I did send a e-mail a few months ago hoping to buy a mod or two myself. ^^b

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.

Why not go for the extra 10%?

N-Mario · **Reply #1043 on:** June 22, 2012, 07:48:52 AM

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.

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.

Karai · **Reply #1045 on:** June 22, 2012, 08:47:33 PM

Yeah! I was waiting for the redesigned model. That, and the possibility of downloading retail games instead of importing (will it include older titles too?). It's almost too good. Now I have great motivation to do productive things and make money.

They don't, yet, but I don't see how that affects what he wants to do.

Nintendo: "3DS isn't in need of a redesign"

2 weeks later
"3DS XL GAIZ!"

Why this wasn't announced at E3, I'll never know.

VixyNyan · **Reply #1048 on:** June 23, 2012, 05:06:27 AM

And also, DS and VC games displaying in 1:1 resolution will be easier to see when you enter Pixel Mode. On normal 3DS, the resolution was too small to see. ^^;

Hypershell · **Reply #1049 on:** June 23, 2012, 05:26:57 AM

I'll not be swayed from my MEGAFIED 3DS, but I suppose the XL will hold some mass market appeal for people who are used to lugging around tablets as part of their daily lives and generally despise small screens. Me, I still prefer a gadget that will fit in my cargo shorts.

I also happen to like lines more than curves when it comes to electronics, but evidently that's not the "sexy" way to look at it. *shrugs*

I think Nintendo was more or less directing their E3 conferences at their investors. It was Wii-U launch window and NOTHING that would detract from that, because the Wii-U's launch is the single biggest question mark right now from a financial standpoint.

Nintendo Direct was pretty much the Nintendo news that gamers were looking for during E3.
