Nintendo 3DS

[Ouenben]

Dpad is quiet for me, but im not a fan of how low it is, quite uncomfortable to use

[Party boy]

I get the impression your thumb rubbing against the d-pad could maybe cause squeaking?

I was surprised to see a VIP code in SSF4 and RR. Are they in every game now rather than just the Nintendo published titles?

The Nintendo site said that they had added them to all games for a limited time or something. I think maybe just launch titles?

I heard Game are selling games at full RRP, ?40. Also saw on another forum that they are doing a guaranteed ?35 trade in offer on 3DS games. Turns out you can save yourself a few bob by buying some of the ?25 games and then trade them straight back in to get the decent games at ?30. That nugget apparently came as advice from a Game employee to a punter!

I.E get Monkey Ball and Rayman in your bundle for ?25 each. Take them out of cellophane and hand them back to get ?70 trade value and pay an additional ?10 to get SSFIV and pilotwings

Does anyone know if this is a defo, & can you trade them in for anything or is it just for other 3DS games?

[Family Fry]

You should be able to trade them in for credit/gift voucher.
Pretty sure know HMV are doing a similar offer, I think it was ?28 trade in for each launch game, slightly less of course.

Has anyone found the top is slightly flimsy? I'd have thought they woulda fixed this as it was like this on the DSi XL!

To test this, just do a slight shake up and down.

It might be a problem later on with some of the gyroscope games.

Anyone else have a super squeeky dpad and wobbly top screen ?

Right on my D-Pad squeaks occasionally.

Yeah mine has a wobble to it.

I don't have any squeak on the dpad though... Am I right in assuming that rattling if you shake it slightly is the pedometer thing? Or is mine broken inside...

just did the system update after connecting to my wifi and it installs a 3d video demo that only lasts 1m20s, its stunning, 3d cinema for live action at the cinema has always looked a bit 'off' to me (though CGI is fine) but this is all live action and its amazing.

proves to me what a serious bit of kit this is and not a gimmicky toy some may think.

3D in the cinema blew my balls off... I can't wait to see this clip. I just hope I can connect from here.

Can we expect to see some kind of movie store in the future?

Anyway, what's the line up looking like for the next couple of months? All I can think of are Starfox and Zelda.

I hope Zelda sells like a motherf**ker as I really want Majora's Mask in 3D. I think the theme of the game is more suited to 3D and immersion than OoT.

Paper Mario is what I would desperately like.

being the small child I am and going back on first thing this morning my eyes seem to be getting better at using this, I can whack up the slider on pilot wings and I lock to the image far more easily.

It's not dissimilar from getting used to a new specs prescription.

Use code TDX-KMAW to get £10 off the £209. Game and console for £199 plus clubcard points.

So much for the price going up after launch...

Anyone have visions of the Gamecube and the effect the price reductions had on that?

Anyone know how the hardware compares with the NGP? SSF4 makes it seem like the 3DS is pretty close to 360/PS3 power (plus Capcom have apparently said it could handle Resi 5), whereas I've heard the NGP is definitely less powerful than the PS3, so could be a lot closer than people (especially Sony fan boys on Eorogamer et al) think/make out.
