THE 3DS IS SO PRETTY.

by

So, long story short, since I live in the town where the Nintendo’s US headquarters are located (and Microsoft for that matter…) and I have connections I got my hands on a 3DS. :3

I know it’s not a HUGE deal since it’s been out in Japan for a while BUT nonetheless I was still having nerdgasms since last night andddd I kinda want to brag a bit. >< I know the deal; "pictures or it didn't happen", so I'll post pictures when i get home with another review if you guys want it. :p Peace - ozymandis P.S. I actually already posted pictures on our twitter and facebook fanpage so if you wanna see 'em RIGHT NOW links are in the side bar ----->

  8. I’m not gonna get it until April ;-; Spent it all on Black…

    Then again, I don’t like all the release games anyway…yet I LOVE how much Sony fanboys are whining about how the NGP will beat the 3DS…personally, I’ll think the 3DS will do better financially…I’m sorry if this offends anybody but here I goooooooo

    3DS was here, NGP is a loser~

  10. I am disappoint 🙁
    I have to wait until the 31st of this month cause of our Aussie release. I pre ordered mine a few weeks
    ago when i pre-ordered pkmn white. I can’t wait. Been counting down days since February. I have to wait until
    after school to get it though.

    So jealous of you guys who already got it… lol 🙂

  13. I’m happy for ya Ozy~ However, I’m still operating on my “NEVER get anything first gen” policy, so I’ll be abstaining from getting one for at least 6 months to a year. I’ll just wait here til they work out all the bugs *nod nod*

    Let it blow up on someone else’s dime -w-

      • I currently have a DS Lite, and nothing else. If memory serves, Nintendo likes to pop out new DSes about every two years. So chances are, by the time I want to get one, a new, improved, sleeker, and all-over streamlined model will be announced.

        That, and I’m waiting for more color choices. Don’t get me wrong, I like the aqua blue, but I like to have options, gosh darnit…… D : <

        • Gold and purple and red are supposed to come out. But nintendo says they probably wont release a 3ds lite or anything. Since the 3ds will be updated like the wii.

          • True, true. But still, even stuff they don’t make into a new system has a first gen. For example, the Wii. VERY first gen Wii’s didn’t come with now standard equipment, like wrist straps, soft grips, or that disclaimer to put the wrist straps and soft grips on before every game. People tossed a few Wiimotes into their flatscreens, and thus the next wave came with those items.

            Plus, with new technology, you never know what kind of bug will pop up in the real world. Yes, lab tests are fine and dandy, but some things you just can’t foresee until you put them out in the real world and let them be subjected to long-term abuse. I can see that battery issue being one of the first things they fix in the waves to come *nod nod*

            Regardless, I’ll wait til a purple comes out, since that and gold are the colors of my college -w-

  17. Ha, if only I wasn’t broke. >.>

    Yeah, usually I get the Christmas/birthday after it comes out. Given my birthday was 26 days ago… yeah, I’m readily waiting for Christmas 2011. >.> But exciting for you. Hope you’re having fun with the launch titles — I don’t know about you, but some of my friends who have 3DSs have told me that the launch titles are horrendous. ^^;

    • Enjoy your one hour battery life without sound, low brightness, no gps and no 3g 😛
      But yeah, it takes so long to charge because the battery is bigger than every other handheld from Nintendo and it still uses the DSi charger. Stupid parallax barrier.

        • Full brightness, full 3D, full sound and wireless on is around three hours. I’m speaking out of personal experience, the battery life sucks. That doesn’t make the 3DS a bad system, I really enjoy it.

          • I’m gonna get a 3ds today, a nd do the smart thing, play while charging! ps Which launch title should I get? I’m probably going to get Pilotwings, because I SUCK at SSF4.

          • Get ghost recon: shadow wars if you liked fire emblem and advance wars. Ridge racers is also pretty good. Pilotwings is a good example of 3D, but not a title you’ll be playing long.

    • The battery is actually better than the one in the DS lite. But not only the CPU and GPU draw more power, the 3D screen draws the most.
      The parallax barrier used to create the 3D effect blocks more than half of the backlight. The screen is larger than other Nintendo handheld, so it requires maybe three times more power for getting enough backlight to achieve a nice 3D effect.

      The only ways to solve the battery life are:
      Bigger battery: expensive, takes longer to charge
      Better parallax barrier: requires technological advancements
      Smaller CPU and GPU scale: Same as above.

      So Nintendo needs to wait for better parts to come out before they can make a cheaper, smaller 3DS with better battery life.

  22. i’ll be getting it in a few days <3
    because that's my biggest present [aside from the one from my boyfriend] for my birthday.
    apparently Nintendo isn't selling a ton of them apparently, the GameStop in my area told me we needed to preorder the system and any games as soon as we could before they ran out.
    they only had a few of the blue/teal 3DSs left when we preordered.
    i need to get TLoZ: OoT soon, because that's gonna be a "more wanted" one here :'>
    i never play my DSLite without it being plugged in, unless i’m on a trip in the car [and even then i CAN have it plugged in]
