Nintendo 3DS

[cutmymilk]

The internet would exploooooode!! Nah, it really wouldn't. Some sites might, like the official Nintendo forums and gamefaqs.

In fairness, the first two in that list are enhanced ports, the 4th game is marmite but airs on the side of average, 5th game is a flat out disappointment, 6th is probably going to appeal to a lot more women than men and the last is again another enhanced port. Ridge Racer only really stands out to me because it's my entry into the series.

People on the whole however want brand new and they want decent. New should not mean average.

This.

I don't enjoy racing games (except Mario Kart which will make the 3DS quite tempting near Christmas), Nintendogs is no doubt a great game for kids but it's not for me, I've played through Zelda and Starfox numerous times back on my N64 and I own SSFIV on the 360 already, so there's very little (nothing actually) on that list that would make me want to shell out ?220 (what 3DS costs here) for the machine plus the price for games.

This weeks 3D Classic : Twinbee

That's actually not bad. Would've preferred Pop'n'twinbee or Bells & Whistles but it's still nice

Well, Namco's doing alright with the 3DS

Could someone clarify what this Ambassador thing means? Is it the same as the wii thing, meaning you only get the games if you get people to buy a 3ds, fill in an online form etc?
Talk about having to jump thru hoops lol

Talk about jumping to conclusions, more like.

All you have to do is connect to the eShop before 12th August and you'll get the games. You can read the official line here.

It's not jumping to conclusions. Nintendo ran a promo on the wii called ambassador. 2 different promos, same name.

I was only joking.

Anyway, Nintendo could really do with setting an official price for the 3DS in Europe. This "retailers set the price" thing is just stupid. They can't really effectively convey a price drop if there isn't a set figure to advertise. I mean, they can hardly say, "Nintendo 3DS: now cheaper" can they? Even if they get adverts out there touting better graphics, glasses-free 3D, etc. the people who have been put off by the high cost aren't going to change their mind. A solid new price advertised everywhere, however, might help to do that.

Anybody had problems with faulty hinges on their 3DS,mines developed a loose left hinge.I contacted nintendo and they told me its down to GAME to offer me a replacement machine.Just telephoned GAME and they have refused to replace the machine and are saying its accidental damage and its not the stores policy which is a load of B***OCKS

[InvisibleKid]

If I were you I'd phone Nintendo again and tell them how not only you have paid a lot of money for a machine that is now getting a price cut but you're also getting shafted with a faulty machine.

[Dogg Thang]

The fact that loose hinges are a well documented issue would put it well outside the category of accidental damage. GAME should be responsible for replacing it as they're the retailer. If the hinge is really a problem, push harder.

Did you speak to the store thou? I see now with most game stores that its a generic call centre and I only manage to get through to mine because I had the number before it all changed. Id bob down to the store and show them, I know its lolGAME but they are normally ok with this stuff.

[BIG EDD]

I'm gonna ring nintendo again tomorrow and find a solution to this
Thanks all

[koopatroopa90]

Yeah GAMES call centre is generally rubbish. You can normally find the individual store numbers by googling though...
