Nintendo 3DS

Hmm. Trying to access MiiVerse crashes my 3DS now. Anyone else?

[Not Thread Owner]

Just during Batman cut scenes, it appears. Odd.

Wowsers! Is this for real? Had heard nothing about this. Played it when I had a Wii U (before I lost my job and had to flog it). On my 3DS this would just be buttery goodness.

[Not Thread Owner]

Yes, it's real. Was announced at E3.

[SMD]

In November?

[gizmo1990]

I'd forgotten about this too. Was beginning to think there wasn't anything being released for Xmas that I'd be interested in! This could be great tho.

[Keyboard Koala]

Yeah, a bit of a stealth release that one. Keep on forgetting that it's actually coming out pretty soon myself. And imo, that type of game seems better suited to a portable platform rather than a home console.

I hope that £30 is a placeholder price. It's a more reasonable $30 in the US.

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

I need this.

Yeah, me too. I love those Metroid style games. If Nintendo won't make one, it's good to see others give it a shot.

Nintendolife got a preview copy of Remix

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/10/preview_going_retro_on_the_go_with_ultimate_nes_remix

Looks pretty good, the games I liked in Remix 1 are all there, and a nice selection from 2. Don't think I'll miss the others too much.

Looking forward to this now!

Nintendo have to pre-order for £34.99 on their shop, so it doesn't look likely that it will be a placeholder.

More opinions of the new 3ds models.

“The speakers seem a bit more powerful now.”

“I’m seriously impressed at how the sound quality has improved between the LL and New LL.”

:omg:

I hope the urine screens get fixed, though.

[Vorgot]

Yellowish screens have been a problem with the current 3DS as well, it's just pot luck as to the screens you get in your machine. Some are 'warmer' in colour but considered to be within tolerance not to be a fault

[sofasurfer]

Long shot I know but is anyone in the US able to get one of these and ship it on?

It does look very nice.

Just had an email from MightyApe wanting another $74 for shipping the white 3DS due to

high value of this product and the delivery

destination, we have to charge extra on shipping to include both door

to door tracking and full insurance cover for extra peace of mind

I'm in two minds now whether to cancel or stump up the extra....as long as it's not a phishing scam that is.

I want that NES cap so badly. I'm the IT technician at an autistic school, and the pupils already see me as a gaming icon. With that cap, I could lead them to take over the world.

[toythatkills]

Total misprice but three quid for Fire Emblem has to be worth a try, eh?

[Bacon Horsemeat]

Just ordered, how did you find it? Hope they honour it (and that Hotukdeals don't jump on)

[shirubagan]

Everyone needs that game.

That's the plot of a lost 80s movie right there.

and it's back up again.

Watch out for news from the north west as I lead a revolution.

Play Asia have the Australian model listed, although without a price or indication when they'll have stock. http://www.play-asia.com/new-nintendo-3ds-white-paOS-13-49-en-70-87hn.html

Either way I'd cancel the MightyApe pre-order; it sounds like a racket.

Great spot that - order in, but I bet it gets cancelled!

[Vorgot]

To my shame I have Fire Emblem downloaded onto my 3DS but have barely touched it. Need to sink some time into that bad boy.

Oh, and buy Kung Fu Rabbit. Portable Super Meat boy, and the controls are as tight as can be. Brilliant game

[grungekid]

Mines been switched to preorder?

Edit: Scratch that it's now processing in warehouse?

I'm going to cancel.....worst case scenario I just wait for the PAL release.
