Nintendo 3DS

I'm on the fence again, cos Tesco are doing a DSi XL for 115, & a PSP 3000 for 90 if u use a discount code.

What extra features does the 3DS have over the DSi XL again, besides the 3d, & card integration stuff?

:O Please tell me you're kidding? Virtual Console, StreetPass, SpotPass, unified friend codes, much better graphics and cpu power (over DS), 3D camera, Miis etc.

DS will be a dead platform on release as publishers and developers will flee it exceptionally fast because it's been so heavily pirated.

Much more powerful graphics capabillity, more in line with Wii Gfx. Also accelerometer and gyroscope for motion controlled games. Mp3 playback and downloadable video. Sure I missed something but those are key ones I can think of.

Rayman, Splinter Cell and Asphalt. Busy on deadline, so will play em tonight.

Excellent, 3 games that have gone under the radar so far.

Apparently I'm getting my copies of Super Street Fighter 4, Pilotwings and Nintendogs & Cats.

God, if Yakuza 4 turns up in the delivery tomorrow that's like the best last half of a week off EVER!!!

[Strider]

Yeah I'm expecting the Nintendo stuff as well, and it's the wife's birthday. Win!

Don't expect much from Splinter Cell.

1: it's from Gameloft
2: Ubisoft have been promoting the game entirely through CGI cut 'trailers'
3: it's from Gameloft

[Strider]

No it isn't. It's by Ubisoft Montreal. I know this because it comes up on the title screen.

[hudson]

Anyone know if the 3DS will be strictly shipped out for the Friday or will places like Shopto do what they do with most game releases an ship earlier?

Also, Strider...please let me know if Splinter Cell is any good please?

Looks good, like...

[Rep]

It's just a remake of Chaos Theory isn't it?

[hudson]

I believe so. I ain't played it, so it could be good for me.

Anybody got a DSi XL & a 3DS? If so could you take a pic of them side by side so I can see the screen size difference

Sorry, I'm a bit busy as Retro Gamer has just gone to press. I'll have a fiddle around with it a bit more later tonight and will try and post some views tomorrow if that's okay.
