Yeah have you seen the Wii U's library? maybe those developers can be more productive.

Have YOU seen the Wii U's library? It has great games coming from Nintendo , what every one is constantly bitching about is the lack of games from other software developers not from Nintendo. So there's that...

I don't know about the Y screenshot feature...knowing Nintendo it's most likely a photo album link or a custom background (even that's pushing the limit). Personally, if I were the developer, I would program L+R to take a screenshot. I hope it is, but again, it probably isn't. :cry:

Not like moving the Gateway menu from Select to Y should be any problem whatsoever.

But Nintendo cares and they wanted to avoid the hassle to Gateway.

Jokes aside, the select button is the most unused of the system; this was a weird choice.

It's not like the Y was used for anything in the main menu either. The select seems to just be only used when there's no other buttons left or something.

Yes because Nintendo only has one programmer........... That have hundreds to thousands of software developers, so what if a team of three of them are put aside to make themes........doesn't delay or prevent anything else from being made.


"Yes because Nintendo only has one programmer..."

the way they behave you would think that is exactly the case

I hope the themes are super cheap. I have like a buck and some change left over on my account when I originally loaded it up to get Pokebank access. :D

I'm also hoping they come out with a new patch for Pokemon X/Y when Omega Sapphire comes out. Assuming they both run the same game engines and they fixed the FPS dips in battles, I would like to see them improve the game a little bit. But I guess the demo will be enough to tell if they resolved that or not. Otherwise, X/Y won't benefit much from another patch. Another thing I look forward to is possible item storage support on Pokemon Bank. The demo supposedly will allow transfer of pokemon AND items like megastones into the full game. Not sure how this will end up working but perhaps the Pokebank will facilitate this. :D

If that's not an in game screenshot function WE RIOT!

Seriously. Turn 3D on in a game, hit suspend, go to the notes app and you can view the top screen that's suspended perfect... but cant save it.

Hopefully this Y feature just lets you snap the current suspended screen.

IF its for the OS only that would be next to useless.

You can post the current screen to Miiverse and maybe to some sites (I dunno), but there's no way to just save them to the SD card or something.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.
