[In reply to first 3DS Video]

Only in Japan do middle-aged woman carry 3DS' in their purses.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Very good thinking!
I knew something was awkward about that video

At the moment the Devkit does not support anti aliasing in "3D mode",
in "normal" Mode it is possible.
I think in future it will be also possible in "3D Mode".

Thanks, but how do you know so much

?

Leaked + predictions.

A Resident Evil Revelation Developer told it in an Interview

(Im just read everything about the 3DS and cant wait for it)

25,000 yen = 250 dollars
Good, but I will not buy it until a flashcart is out for it, I will not carry my Game cards with me like my children!!!

I'm rather curious when did this

one pop up, has it always been around? Also sorry if someone else has asked.

An very nice work on the FAQ makes it easier to just tell people what it is without telling them myself :3

Probably answered already but I'll be damned if I'm sifting through 13 pages to make sure. What details do we know of the UK launch? Price, availability, expected launch titles, etc? Here's what I hope for a shortlist of launch titles.

- Starfox 64. I still play my N64 version. And the original on SNES. I LOVE STAR FOX.

- Kid Ikarus. Daaaaaamn this looks fun.

- Zelda. Duh, greatest game of all time in one's pocket. That right there is what we call a no-brainer.

- Mario Kart/Chocobo Racing. Either will do.

- DOA. I'm curious to see how jiggle physics work in 3D.

- Any decent RPG. Preferably Final Fantasy but I can survive without it for a while, provided I have something with a good story and above all else, length. I'm in all probability going to bankrupt myself to get this damn thing, so whatever games I get better be long and kick ass 'cause I won't be getting more for a while.

So help me, if this and Dissidia Duodecim are released at the same time and I don't have enough for both, I am going to cry. Then purge my 4GB PSP memory card and spend the best part of a week downloading Duodecim instead until I can afford it.

zelda is probably a launch title
but i heard the team sora won't be able to finish Kid Icarus, so don't count on it
the same i heard for starfox and well....mario kart was never a launch title either, but it might be

and no, there are no new infos, there will be a few event on january 8th til 10th in japan and mainly on january 19th in the US where the price and release date will be revealed[and ofc loads of content] [source from nintendo3dsblog-com]

Incorrect.
Nintendo is letting retailers set the price for the 3DS in the UK.
There is no RRP. It costs retailers £173 to get the 3DS, though. There is about a 33% markup on it.

e3

Also, EU Price is 250 Euro, 270 in Ireland.

A while back when someone disassembled the 3DS there was a chip inside branded Toshiba, this makes me wonder if Toshiba manufactures the 3D screens, Toshiba already got some glasses free 3D screens in the past.

I've transfered the OP, to SoulSnatcher. Me, and him will collaborate to maintain the FAQ. It's in for a long needed update.

Just looking at this game makes me crazy about having one, man, it is so cool.

Any thoughts on what I did to the FAQ?
Looks much better now, IMHO.

Use the red 3DS from e3 instead of the blue one.

"A: $249.99 for NA. For Europe, Nintendo says it's letting the retailers set the price. The current average price as of the time of writing is £229.99. In Japan, it costs 25000 yen." - Retailers decided 250 in continental, and 270 in Ireland. The UK price is going all over the place.

The red 3DS isn't coming out at launch, though.

 

[Nollog]

Still the nicest-looking version.

It's misleading, though.

 

[GeekyGuy]

Didn't see it mentioned in the first post, but I was curious if it would allow for direct video capture?
