The release lineup is definitively weak, and on top of that, they did not manage on time with Internet Browser and eShop.

I mean, they've already had a perfectly working Opera on DS and DSi, using the same ARM architecture. How f---ing difficult is it to port it to 3DS, especially it uses the OpenGL standard to display graphics ?
I know people have opinions, but I just think you are being really bias or either you do not have any patients.

The DSi browser was slow and yuck.
I think the 3DS browser is being built from the ground, and by Nintendo themselves.

Opera is one of the fastest browsers on the market. I guess they couldn't make more out of DSi's poor hardware.

opera's PC browser may be fast.
Mini isn't.

Browser Speed Tests: iPhone's Mobile Safari vs. Opera Mini

Browser Speed TestsYou will, however, notice the considerably faster page loads when you're using Opera Mini, and with the web, speed is everything. If Opera could keep the speed and fix some of the rough edges, it could be really impressive.
Again: Opera Mini was so slow on DS(i) because the underlying hardware was so weak.

I'd rather have a slow but DOM compliant browser than one than that can't even display a webpage correctly, but is blazing fast. And plus, for iPhone there are better alternatives out there (my Safs is tweaked with Cydia mods because I love Safari on iDevices) - paid though (some are free too).

As for the DSi browser, that's true. But the PSP one was really weak too, and it has better hardware (it wasn't Opera Mini based though). I just hope they implement a decent browser for the 3DS, though most of my browsing will pass through iDevices/my PC because of the screen resolution.

That does look pretty weak. I won't buy the system when it is first released. I will wait for some decent games, a pricedrop, and a way to download games. i don't want to pay for star fox again for the third time or zelda oot for the fourth.

    Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
    it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child

    As someone who went through the grade school system in the US some time within the past 30 or so years, not nearly enough is done to promote and educate on how to eat healthy in a way that is feasible to do on a regular basis and also affordable. Eating healthy is, comparatively, fucking expensive. So is eating unhealthy, but in many cases eating unhealthy is more affordable than eating healthy

    @Sicklyboy I agree, but also it's about self control and realistic thinking. We wouldn't feed a dog soda, so why feed it to ourselves? Eating unhealthy food because it's cheap is one thing, but I'm sure you know people who drink soda routinely when they should be drinking water which is free.
    I get it can feel mean to say "no treat sweet beverage for you anymore" but for many people it's just in their way of life.
