    To be honest I'm disappointed. It's just the boring black one with a decal on the lid, Nintendo's done much better with the Japanese releases of their 3DS LE's

      Do we know when this system update is due? Thought it was early November but that could have changed.

        Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto is considering revisiting the 2D era of Zelda games for a future 3D remake.


        Miyamoto is said to be considering making 3D remakes of 2D games like Link to the Past

          3DS is outpacing its predecessor in sales with Xmas looming. The handheld should be given the original momentum but it will go some way to allay the doubts raised by the summer downturn.

            I'm struggling to think of many decent DS games that came out in the first year of its life. Band Bros maybe.

              Ouendan! That was early on wasn't it?

                I loved Yoshi's Touch and Go. Get rid of the baby balloon bit and replace the endless walk with lots of different levels/locations and it would be up there with my fave Mario games.

                  Ouendan was July 2005, Yoshi's Touch and Go! was the end of January 2005 so I guess they both count. Famicom Wars DS was also out within the first year, as was Super Princess Peach.

                  Notable 3DS releases in the first year that spring to mind for me include: Gundam The 3D Battle, Tales of the Abyss (remake), Starfox 64 3D (remake), The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (remake), Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Monster Hunter 3G.

                  Looks like the 3DS Bokukan game has been put back from 2011 to 2012.

                    Good DS games out in the first year, or by the end of 2005? I can think of Band Bros, Advance Wars, Another Code, Kirby Canvas Curse, Lost in Blue, Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time, Mario Kart, Metroid Prime Pinball, Ouendan, the rerelease of the first Phoenix Wright, Polarium, Wario Ware Touched, Super Princess Peach, and Yoshi Touch 'n Go. So quite a few decent games there...

                      Super Mario 3D Land has become the fastest selling portable Mario ever which will no doubt cause shareholders throughout Nintendo to sigh deeply with relief. As a result sales of the 3DS rose 49% which were bolstered by rising by 325% over Black Friday weekend.

                      On a side note, Skyward Sword also did well by selling faster in the US than any other Zelda release to date. The Wii also had its best Black Friday sales ever too showing that the system could have sold more units in its lifetime had Nintendo not dicked about so much.

                        Thats a shame, it'll allow them to produce more unacceptably poor quality in their consoles.

                          Er, what? Nintendo produce poor quality consoles? You can say lots of things about Nintendo, but the Wii is the most reliable hardware this gen.

                            One of my Wiis has been thrown across the room twice by my cat catching a GC cable as she ran. Didn't even turn the console off.

                            The update for the 3DS to give it 3D video recording and new Streetpass content has been posted as December 8th, along with mild apologies from Nintendo for the delay. A week and a bit makes little difference to me tbh.

                              Any news on this, what about transferring data from one 3DS to another?

                                That will be in the update Kryss says has moved to the 8th of December. I thought it had initially been announced for the 4th of November... not to worry, I guess. Unless you're sitting waiting to move your data.
