Nintendo 3DS

[shirubagan]

It has in infra-red sensor to track your face in the dark. It's witchcraft.

[jonamok]

Yep. Played it in bed, lights off, all good. Only downside was the missus snoring :-( and left my headphones downstairs.

[Stanley]

I so want one of these. I have a Nintendo deficiency at the moment and the only cure is a dose of Zelda and Fire Emblem.

[gizmo1990]

A snoring wife?

[Keyboard Koala]

I would absolutely get Bravely Default. The pants name put me off for ages but it's my favourite game in recent years now.

What?

[Goemon]

Street Fighter 4

Dead or Alive

Steel Diver

Steel Diver can't be THAT bad right?

Ha, I did exactly the same on Sunday but I bought Resi Evil Mercenaries instead of Steel Diver. Just couldn't say no at that price.

Got a shipping email today for my new 3DS, I ordered it on Sat.

You can see the little red light sometimes, staring at you, judging you, like a tiny HAL.

[Shimmyhill]

It feels nicer in the hand than the XL but there is a fair old drop in screen size.

However the screens seem much nicer, i guess as maybe the XL doesn't have enough pixels for the size?

[Not Thread Owner]

I'm about to buy another New 3DS.

Fucking Nintendo.

Oh, and did you all get your free Mario 2015 calendar?

[Stanley]

A snoring wife?

I have one of those. I also have some decent headphones

[Not Thread Owner]

Fucking typical.

The guy buying one from his account for me refreshes his order status. Still awaiting stock pick. Has said that for days. Estimated dispatch date, 8th Jan. Refreshes again, still the same.

I click submit on my purchase. He refreshes. Awaiting dispatch.

Fucksake.

[jonamok]

I have no idea what DeKay is on about, but his growing impotent rage is hugely affecting...

[Shimmyhill]

I can't believe Dekay, the so called Nintendo fan, doesn't have one yet - he has a Vita too

[Not Thread Owner]

A summary:

I didn't get an email from Nintendo offering to sell me a special edition 3DS.

A colleague did. So ordered one for me.

I complained to Nintendo that I hadn't been offered one.

They offered me one.

Today, this guy's order still hadn't dispatched. It was supposed to dispatch on the 8th. Was still awaiting stock pick this afternoon.

Fearing I'd miss out and it'd be cancelled, I bought one on my account.

Immediately after clicking submit on my order (and I literally mean immediately), the original order progressed to Awaiting Dispatch and couldn't be cancelled.

So I could cancel mine, but I guarantee if I do the other wouldn't be delivered or get lost or cancelled or something.

I can't believe Dekay, the so called Nintendo fan, doesn't have one yet - he has a Vita too

I'll probably have two of the fuckers tomorrow!

[Yiggy]

You'll be able to sell one for a few quid profit if you do.

Or keep one mint boxed you know, for your kids inheritance or sumtink.

[Not Thread Owner]

Yeah, might punt it on here if they both arrive.

[Stanley]

Do the new 3ds' s still play original ds carts?

[gossi the dog]

Do the new 3ds' s still play original ds carts?

Yes

[shynra]

The more I think about it the less inclined I am to pick up one I think. My current xl with circle pad pro will be better for Monster Hunter 4 won't it?

That's my concern too, I use the circle pad a lot more than most to aim for specific parts (hunting horn /hammer). That little nub looks worse than the psp one! (which might be okay as a 2nd Stick but not for my monster hunter needs)

I'm on a fence

[sprite]

What?

Haha, well, the name doesn't do the game justice at all! It's all about the battle system and whatnot but it just, for me, doesn't really reflect what the game is all about...

...

.....

"Final Fantasy" doesn't really tell you much either, does it?

I'll get me coat.

[Mitchell]

I would love a good RPG to get stuck into. But which one...

Pokemon (one of the new ones)

Bravely Default

Persona Q

Etrian Odyssea

Paper Mario

Is there one that stands out from that lot?

I would absolutely get Bravely Default. The pants name put me off for ages but it's my favourite game in recent years now.

Whlst I agree that Bravely Default is brilliant (and I'm a huge FF fan), I have both that and Pokemon Omega Ruby sat on my memory card and all I'm playing at the moment is Rune Factory 4. So don't rule that out Yiggy...only £25 on the eShop too.

[Not Thread Owner]

And that's New 3DS number 1 and 2 both dispatched. Due to arrive tomorrow. Via Yodel. Sigh.

[Yiggy]

Beautiful. Please understand.....

[Yiggy]

Anyone got a good case option for a New 3DS or presumably a regular 3DS if they're near enough the same dimensions? I can find funky Mario ones but only for the XL.

[gooner4life]

Tracking has just updated and they have scanned it at DPD, updated to be delivered next Sunday are they taking the piss? ????

[MikeBeaver]

Amazingly, Yodel done a fine job of delivering mine today, it's sat here looking all nice and shiney

[Yiggy]

I feel blessed and terrible for you folks having delivery problems as mine was probably the best and easiest delivery I have ever had. Bob his name was.

[Sealflap]

I've got 3 hours to decide if I want to get the ambassador edition. Surely even if I bought it, it would hold it's value right...RIGHT?!!!

I use one of the pouches that you can get via Club Nintendo

[Not Thread Owner]

Yodel says "awaiting collection" even though it has already dispatched.

Yodel you cunts.
