Im Back and 3DS Review !

2011-04-11T20:16:00.000-07:00

I'm back ? Sorry I had that little pause I had in making blog post ! i have been REALLY busy playing my 3DS ! I got it on the first day it came out (March 27th). I have to say the 3DS is really awesome !It's so awesome there's not really a word for it ! Just to give it a short review I have to say, It is good to play with but some things get old after a while ! Some things that don't get old are the Augmented Reality Games. With the Fishing you can catch endless Breed's ! I "Might" do a video (and longer) review on the 3DS ! By the way, the 3DS does give me eye strain every one and a while !

I Got to Play the 3DS at Best Buy !!

2011-03-19T18:27:00.000-07:00

I basicly got to play Nintendo's newest system, the Nintendo 3DS and I have to say it was awesome ! I played Pilot Wings Resort and that's not an all that game. It has its ups and its downs. But I did enjoy playing it. The 3D effect works just fine and for those who can't decide what color to get, Aqua Blue is really kinda more a greenish color than blue. But I have to say I did start getting a headache after (Almost) an hour of playing it, and yes I played it for (Almost) a whole hour. I hogged it ! By the way, the 3DS is now in every Best Buy across America, So you can try it now !

Rumor: 3DS Browser may support YouTube !

2011-02-27T19:00:00.000-08:00

Nintendo has dropped Opera as their browser of choice. Instead, the 3DS will use Netfront, the same browser used in the PS3 and PSP. This browser supports HTML5 and Flash, two distinct technologies that allow you to watch videos on YouTube. This doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be able to browse YouTube on the 3DS, as Nintendo will surely make tweaks based on what they feel is the best match for the system (and Flash is known as a massive battery hog). But the latest version of NetFront has a lot of cool features that Nintendo could take advantage of. The 3DS browser will be made available via worldwide system update in late May.

2011-02-25T23:26:00.000-08:00

The augmented reality cards bundled with the 3DS allow the device to judge how far you are from a surface and determine how you’re holding it. This means you can simply print our your own cards if need be. Nintendo has released an official PDF to make this easier, and you can download that file by clicking here.

Nintendo 3DS Unboxing !

Here's a Unboxing of the Nintendo 3DS that was released in Japan today ! There will be lots and lots more video's about the 3DS coming on this site !

AR Games: First look at Star Viewer and Graffiti

2011-02-23T18:24:00.000-08:00

All the augmented reality games built-in to the Nintendo 3DS operating system have been leaked . And now we have two very clear screenshots of what the Star View and Graffiti applications look like, as the images are captured directly from the device.

The best look we’ve had at the Nintendo 3DS user interface so far

2011-02-23T18:17:00.000-08:00

I love user interfaces, but most demo units of the 3DS lack the ability to navigate the menu system. Luckily this was not the case in the above video which gives quite a nice look at the “System Settings” section, download play and more. It looks quite slick and will give you yet another thing to drool over.

Unboxing reveals 6 different augmented reality cards, but what are they for?

2011-02-17T19:12:00.000-08:00

Okay, so GAME recently unboxed the Nintendo 3DS. And what was particularly curious is that they found six different cards to be used with the augmented reality games, five of which feature classic Nintendo characters including Mario, Link, Kirby, Samus and Pikmin.

What’s so strange about this is that the design of the card itself is not of any importance. It only acts as a reference point while the 3DS itself would use something like planar tracking to calculate what angle the in-game graphics need to be placed on. But I very much doubt this is a hoax so the question is, what is the purpose of these individual cards?
The most obvious conclusion to jump to is that, in addition to Target Practice, there will be five other augmented reality games and they will feature these classic Nintendo characters. And while Reggie hasn't ruled out that Mario will make an appearance, that conclusion almost feels too good to be true. I want it to be true, but a part of me assumes these designs are purely decorative. But what do you think?

Photos: Unboxing the Nintendo 3DS

2011-02-17T18:54:00.000-08:00

GAME has got their hands on a retail unit of the Nintendo 3DS and have posted photos of them unboxing it for the entire world to see. One of the pictures shows off six different augmented reality cards, five of which feature classic Nintendo characters, which I found incredibly curious. I’ll dedicate a new post to that mystery though, so please keep the discussion in the comments related to unboxing itself.

No Nintendo Points Cards for 3DS

2011-02-16T22:52:00.000-08:00

Real currency is replacing Nintendo points. But just in case you were hoping there’d be some sort of grace period where you could use the points with the 3DS, I’m afraid your out of luck. Here’s the official quote:

“Prepaid Nintendo point cards cannot be used with the Nintendo 3DS. Prepaid point cards that can be used with the 3DS will go on sale at a later date.”

That last sentence is referring to cards that will be similar to the iTunes vouchers you find in stores. These will allow you to buy cards as you might usually do (without the use of a credit card), but will represent an actual dollar value rather than ambiguous set of points

Nintendo 3DS Home-Screen Hologram

2011-02-14T16:47:00.000-08:00

Nintendo 3DS: Aplications For Nintendo 3DS

2011-02-11T21:15:00.000-08:00

There is Finally an English Version of this so called Commercial. Its not really a Commercial because you dont see it on T.V. and as a matter of fact you dont see any Nintendo 3DS Commercial's in America. But there's about seven in Japan already. But we might have some Commercial's about the Nintendo 3DS around the release date. The following video is what you'll be expecting and Basicly just some of the application's on the 3DS. But anyway Enjoy the Video!

Friends list supports basic form of nicknames, still no word on a messaging system

2011-02-09T16:31:00.000-08:00

We’re not getting gamertags. But Nintendo has confirmed that “once friend codes are exchanged you see your friend listed by the nickname assigned to their system,” which at least makes managing our friends list a little easier. They’ve also said that they “do not have anything to announce at this time” in regards to a messaging system on the 3DS, which is in line with what has been previously said sort of invalidates other reports.

Play and charge is supported.

2011-02-09T11:36:00.000-08:00

The Nintendo 3DS does not have great battery life. Passable, but not great. And so people have been asking, will I be able to charge my Nintendo 3DS via the charging cradle or AC adapter and still play the wonderful selection of games? Yes, yes you will. Nintendo has straight up said that:

“Users are able to play the Nintendo 3DS while charging, regardless of whether the system is plugged into the Charging Cradle or AC adapter. Both are just as effective.”
