    but if someone uses the 'no DSi-exclusive games' argument, then the link I posted shows they do in fact exist.

    Fair enough

    God I need an update from Nintendo - need to get this store online!

    I think 3DS should have released at least 5/6 more games sooner for the system then they have. The current releases are so full of crap that a few better games would be great.

    Anyone know what games will be available at launch? I know Link's awakening DX and Super Mario land are a given.

    ExciteBike is supposedly going to be free with the 3DS shop update, can't find a full list at the mo due to laziness.

    Hoping for a game alright but wouldn't be surprised if it was just a 3-d trailer for Green Lantern...we shall see soon enough I suppose.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,382 ✭✭✭Motley Crue


    I would expect at least a free game or substantiated demo

    Excitebike 3D now confirmed for the US market - should be an announcement on Europe soon enough I'd imagine.

    Pokédex 3D confirmed for free on the eShop when it launches.

    Make them AR cards for 3ds and I believe that would be classed as a win, in fact I would go so far as to say, an epic win.

    Streetpass day is June 25th worldwide.
    Start some communities.

    It didn't click with yesterday when I posted the points cards but I thought the e-Shop was going to use normal currency. Not points.

    I notice that the points cards have the Wii logo. I have unused points on the Wii so I wonder if I can use them on the e-Shop.

    They are.
    They're in Yen.

    Check your Wii Shop now, they are accepting cash cards along with nintendo points now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,382 ✭✭✭Motley Crue


    So are we still waiting until June 7th for the update?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,705 ✭✭✭Mr Trade In


    Can you use existing Nintendo,1000,2000,3000 points cards or are there new cards being introduced.

    Very disappointing to see that Links Awakening is not a launch release. They were showing it in VC promo videos. Next Thursday I guess. 3-D Xevious sounds pretty good. At least Exitebike is free. I wonder if the browser will be better than the Wii's and the PSP's browser.

    Virtual Console
    • Mega Man in Dr. Wily's Revenge (Capcom, Game Boy, 400 Nintendo Points)
    • Kirby's Dream Land (Nintendo, Game Boy, 400 NP)
    • Baseball (Nintendo, Game Boy, 300 NP)
    • Phantasm (Jaleco, Game Boy, 400 NP)
    • Downtown Special Kunio-kun no Jidaigeki Dayo Zenin Shuugou! (Arc, Game Boy, 400 NP)
    • Super Mario Land (Nintendo, Game Boy, 400 NP)
    3D Classics (NES titles re-made for the 3DS)
    • Excitebike (Nintendo, free until 31st July, then 600 NP)
    • Xevious (Nintendo, 600 NP)
    3DSi Ware
    • Mystery P.I Kieta Film (G Mode, 600 NP)

    When exactly does the update go live? I've not found a time anywhere, do I then assume that it will be midnight on Tuesday morning?

    This is what we will be getting tomorrow.

    * Excitebike (NES) 3-D remake: Free (As long as you download it within 30 days of release.)
    *Pokedex 3D application: Free

    *Super Mario Land
    *Tennis
    *Alley way

    *All first party Nintendo DSI ware

    *Web browser: 3DS web browser: Does not support flash but will allow users to view 3D images on websites, as well as the uploading and downloading of 3D photos taken using the 3DS cameras.

    * Store will update worldwide every Thursday. This goes into effect on June 16.

    *DSi and DSi XL owners will simply download a transfer tool on their handheld and initiate the transfer process. Then on the 3DS, users will accept the transfer and that's it. The transferred games will automatically be deleted from their original source.

    *Lastly, there'll also be the chance to sign up for a short form 3D video service in the future, which will provide music videos, movie trailers and comedy videos all in 3D, all through SpotPass and all for free.

    *Purchasing games will be a lot more transparent now too as the amount you have in your eShop wallet is displayed in real currency as opposed to Wii Points.


    The American lauch differs slightly and of course Japan has the best selection.

    It's really dissapointing that Links Awakening DX is not a launch title considering the store was delayed so long but I'm assuming it will be released with the next batch of games, which I predict will be GBC games.
    Very dissapointed the browser does not support flash but the 3D pictures is nice. Of course getting Excitebike 3D for free is great.

    I'm pretty sure you won't be able to watch any vids.

    The iPhone and iPad don't support Flash and you can watch YouTube videos so I wouldn't rule it out totally on the 3DS.

    No youtube. Browser does not support html5.
