Wasn't expecting to be smaller than the DSi. Once it has WPA2 compatibility I'll be happy.

Neither was I, expected it to be mush larger so I'm happily suprised of it's size, just wish they'd hurry up and release it so I can have one

GTR63 · 03-01-2011 3:45pm

Top screen seems to be larger than the Ds screens.I imagine that Nintendo would have to charge a bomb if they made this the size of the DSi XL.Thats what they'll do with the inevitable upgrade but I don't care i'm buying this on release date.Can't wait for the 19th of January to hopefully find out the price,release date & launch line up.
Meant to ask earlier can we pre-order this yet.

96MB of RAM and it will be capable of pushing out those graphics? I'm well impressed.

Gamestop are taking pre-orders.

I know it won't happen but I'd love Nintendo to add an Achievements/Trophies system to the 3DS.

i think the ps2 had like 26 mb of ram or similar and that had some great visuals (FF X springs to mind) if the graphics are at the gamecube/wii level i will be happy so long as they keep bringing out all the great games for it like the ds, it also really looks like nintendo are trying to attract in the core gamers with this handheld which has me very happy after all this kinect/move crap

Read on N4G that a few of the UK Game shops sites have a March 1st release date for the Nintendo 3DS.Its also rumoured that the Games will cost more.Anyone know if they are putting the Charging Dock in with the 3DS Console or is it sold seperately.

There is a good site 3DSbuzz.com that has a lot of info & rumours.It has a picture of a Gamestation poster that has a £180 price tag on the 3DS.

GTR63 · 08-01-2011 4:47am

Battery life is 3-5 Hours for Nintendo 3DS Games & 5-8 hour life for Nintendo DS Games.It takes 3 & a half hours to fully charge the 3DS.Thats dissapointing if i'm honest.Can't post a link but read this on N4G.

The dock is called the "3ds Charging cradle" and it will be included

hmm, that is a little disappointing. long charge time too

WolfForager · 08-01-2011 2:38pm

3.5 hours battery life is a bit of a let down tbh. Think i'll wait until the 2nd generation til i consider getting it.

TrustedApple · 10-01-2011 12:54am

Lots of trailers released, obviously you can't notice the 3D that well.

Must say the japanese launch line up is a bit underwhelming. Besides Professor Layton I can't see myself buying any. Maybe NFL Madden will get in the US/EU Line-up its the type of game that'd pass the time,but I never got any NFL game on the DS.There isn't much of a sign of the big list of exciting games from the 3DS reveal.

I've a DS phat I got on launch day and the touch screen is scratched from playing the shut out of Ouendan and elite beat agents. I'd get a DS lite. With the DSi you gain DSiware and cameras but at the loss of the GBA slot. I can live without the cameras an will be getting DSiware on the 3DS (not a lot on it that is good other than Shantae an a few others).

Josey Wales · 10-01-2011 10:07am

Paper Mario looks excellent. Is this a new game or a remake? I played the Wii version and thought it was pretty good.

Mario Kart 3DS is a certain purchase as well.

pdbhp · 10-01-2011 11:41am

Check this link for full line up of games and all the info needed.

As for the launch line up it's a good line up and will sell the system to most people unless they price it out of contention.

dreamers75 · 10-01-2011 12:32pm

Has the price been confirmed at 249?

No there is no confirmed price yet, we'll find out on the 19th I believe at the European unveiling in Amsterdam

They could launch with just Hello Kitty World Adventure & it'd still sell millions. I was hoping a Mario game would launch with it or a Zelda.As for the Price it was rumoured that its £180 in the Uk i'd imagine a €240 price is likely over here.

Yea around the €250 would be a reasonable assumption of the price.
There's only gonna be 4 milloin units for the worldwide launch so they'll be in short suplly

GTR63 · 10-01-2011 4:04pm

With Pokemon Black & White out on March 4th.Okamiden the 18th of March & the 3DS it'll be a great month.Must pre order all of them on Friday.

1.5 Million to Japan & 2.5 Million for the rest of the World.Anyone know how many DS there was at launch,it didn't really take off straight away if i'm not mistaken.I got mine in June of that year.

pdbhp · 10-01-2011 4:10pm

Don't think the DS phat sold much at launch as it was a slow burner.
As for the 3DS I'd say if you don't pre order it you'll be left out in the cold with no console

Retr0gamer · 10-01-2011 4:36pm

I strolled into the locale gamestop at lunch time on launch day and picked one up. There wasn't any real interest in the system until Nintendogs arrived.
