Nintendo 3DS

[dvdx2]

this new wave of nintendo games seem to be mainly 'graphical' updates of N64 versions - i have rinsed them all to death, so i'm not really getting the 'wave of hysteria' that others are getting (especially from Zelda). Nice to see them given a new lease of life though

WHERE IS F-ZERO???

Is it actually possible to connect via your laptop, and use some kind of free VPN to access it?

Are all titles blocked like this, or is it just because it's a TV service?

I'm sure someone will try and post it somewhere. Not me though sorry.

You can download the software anywhere in the world, you just can't get any videos to watch.

Did anyone bother with a screen protector for their machine. I managed to get the bottom one on fine, spent ages preparing the top and ended up with a bit of dust on the middle of the damn screen lol, gave up in the end...

Same here.

Got mine on fine, there came with the official nintendo case if make, makes any difference.

I have the same issue.

I guess a JPN VPN/proxy would work?

Same here as well. Got the bottom one on fine but had a mare with the top one so took it off. I bought some more so will try again at some point. Got mine from NW.

Zelda can't catch a break, it lost out to Zumba over here, in Japan:

1. [PSP] The Little Battlers Experience (Level-5) {11/06/16} - 166,187 / NEW
2. [3DS] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (Nintendo) {11/06/16} - 164,110 / NEW

Harsh! Great sales figures though. Also boosted 3DS console sales to 40K, moving it above the PSP for the first time since launch

Funny you guys mentioning the screen protectors, I got my bottom one on fine too (still on there) but my top one had a tiny like 1mm what looked like hair and a couple specs of dust, even though when i looked at the screen before hand in light there was nothing there...and all I did was peel the plastic off the top screen protector. I took it off the other day, it was just pissing me off too much.

I'm pretty sure the screen looked brighter without it too. And tbh, I'd rather have a protector on the bottom than the top, no reason to touch the top and it closes...I think it'll be fine without it.

"Official Nintendo Screen Protectors" POS. It actually left residue on my top screen's bezel too.

Hate screen protectors. Used to have one on my iPhone but quickly got pissed off with it. On a clamshell console though I don't see the point? Does the stylus do that much damage to the screen it needs protecting?

[rmoxon]

I have never used a screen protector. The stylus has never done any damage to the screen on any DS i have owned. I touch screen should be scratch proof anyway, unless you hack at it with somthing sharp I dont see how it could get scratched, I dont know about the top screen, though i have to say I have never had any problems there either.

design flaw of the 3ds is making the border of the touch screen damage the top screen apparently...the little rubber legs are not big enough.

luckily I found out about it while it was just causing marks, leave a cleaning cloth inbetween the screens while closed now.

I tried to put a screen protector on my fat DS, it was a painful experience that just filled me with rage....fat handed gimp that I am

[thegreathopper]

I fitted the Hori screen protectors to mine, they fit very well and were easy to fit.

This. Although it only seems to deposit sweat, it's still a bit rubbish. Apparently the blue model is worse for it than the black one, which seems a little odd.

I've not had it do anything that a swift wipe of the cloth can correct, but that it's doing it at all isn't good.

Did all the launch games come with VIP points? Need 1750 for the Wii SNES controller and most of the 3DS launch games are pretty cheap now so considering picking a couple up...
