Nintendo 3DS

I'd imagine Nintendo would put a huge amount of work into the street pass side of things on Animal Crossing.

If it's another expansion pack version of the last few, I'm gonna go postal on Nintendo's ass.

Fixed and quoted for truth.

Really? Based on historical reference I'd say they'd do as little work as possible! I hope you're right and I'm wrong though. Street Pass was MADE for this game.

I'm hoping Animal Crossing, Mario Kart and Kid Icarus Uprising make it out Sept-Nov time, lots of games floating around as 'in development' but some more concrete details would be nice. I've never really been into Animal Crossing but StreetPass could make it very interesting (although, in city centre Manchester, I've only had 2 street passes!)

What Animal Crossing desperately needs is more personalities. It's kind of ridiculous to have so many different characters and yet there are fewer personality types than there are characters in your village. Leading to the same conversations over and over and over and over and, well, you get the idea. It should be exciting to get a new villager rather than, ooh they look cool but, oh, you're one of the exercise types, yeah that was funny back when it was the chicken, then the elephant.

I'd love to think Nintendo will put the effort in because AC is fantastic but needs a good kick in the rear end. But I suspect FSW is spot-on.

I've now got my brightness setting on 1 and power-save mode enabled, using headphones. Interested to see how long it lasts. This is how my PSP has been set since around a week after launch.

A few days after the Nyko battery this ones appeared, doesn't involve you having to remove the battery cover and apparently gives between 9-15 hrs with 3D turned on. Bit uglier and heavier than the Nyko solution but with 3x the battery life it would be ideal for longer journeys.

Also seen that someone has uploaded a few Virtualboy 3D photos available in mpo format, look quite good on the 3DS.

I like that .jps format cos I can see those in 3d without glasses.

I can confirm that the chargers for DSi/DS XL work with the 3ds. just picked up the in-car charger from argos for ?4.99 (cigar adapter with USB socket - which was actualyl missing from the box! - and a cable with PSP, DS, DS Lite and DSi cables attached) and plugged it into the PC and it's happily charging the 3ds. Ones that don't mention 3ds on the box are likely to be cheaper than ones that specify 3ds at the moment.

I suspect the same, I guess they don't cos they know we'll lap it up each time and each new version has been on a machine where they can attract new customers with old content as those machines did a lot for getting casual gamers/non gamers on board. Despit having 3D the 3DS isn't nearly as much a machine like this so maybe they'll realise they've got to do something new. Hopefully they don't think 3D is an update.

I wanted more personalities back on the Gamecube, I couldn't believe it when I found out there were only 4 (their looks and wanting them to be real makes you not realise straight away). It could have handled it and it definitely could have handled it with each "new" installment. FFS each new Pokemon release is more different. They should have memories too, so if you smack one with the net they should have a grudge against you for a while, maybe vandalise your house...that's probably going too far.

I don't think there is a first play for Lego SW, can you start one once you have some thoughts as I do fancy it myself.
