I'm going to have a play with one tomorrow in the city. Yay can't wait

Surprising it worked when I went through the TCB link and then just changed the url. I got an email confirming that TCB had tracked the transaction

Yeah, same here, in fact I'd already mentioned how I'd done it! Though I didn't quote Koopa troopa or just mention that.

CG have scored Nintendogs 8.0/10 basically saying it's better looking than the old one but has been scaled back as a game.

[Fuddle]

scaled back? there wasnt much in the first place.
i havent really been following it, but i was hoping there would be some new competitions to take part in... but really assumed it would probably just be the same 3 as before.

Kinda wish they'd added an extra month onto the launch date. Devs could've had the time to release games that weren't feature light and/or rush jobs.

EG scored it 7

Seen quite a few pal units appear on ebay, where are they getting them from :S

Is this in store? I pre ordered when it was just the ?20 voucher so that's even better now

Played Street Fighter 4 and Pilotwings in Game today, really impressed with both. I found it easy to pull off moves on Street Fighter using the slider. The 3D looked lovely in both games. Can't wait.

Yeah instore It's a choice of either:

rayman, asphalt or Super monkey ball for ?10
or
pilotwings, nintendogs or streetfighter for ?20

I asked the guy if you could have one from both categories and he wasn't sure. there was nothing in the small print saying you couldn't.
And while you can't use the ?20 gift card on the 3DS, it didn't say you can't use it on one of the above games

I'm not seeing any in stock PAL units being sold... most of the auctions finish around 25th or have shipping estimates of 15+ days if they do end sooner.

Apparently you can't interact much with the cats!
Would of been the only reason for me to get it basically, girlfriend and I love cats. Opportunity totally missed Nintendo and pretty much false advertising..

I am with you there. The only reason this game even entered my radar was for the cats. Really disappointing, and excusing this by saying it's true to life is wrong. My cats are very interactive!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nintendo-3DS-H...item45f973d345 there are a few others that have recently ended too

Ahh fair enough.

Anyone know how the DSi transfers going to work?? If Nintendo don't have it available until a month later surely they don't expect us to hang onto our DSi's in the mean time.
I'm going to transfer everything to an SD card before I trade mine in and hope that's enough.

Think you'll probably need both units to do it.

[InvisibleKid]

You definately need both units to do it. There's going to be an app released for DSi as well as for 3DS (can't remember where I read this) and you'll have to wirelessly transfer them over.

The reason you'll definately need the unit you bought the DSiWare stuff on is because how would they be able to validate that you actually own those games and haven't copied them from someone else?
