Nintendo 3DS

[Dogg Thang]

So firstly - what the hell, Nintendo? You don't accept Nintendo Points in your 3DS store? That's pox. I have a 500 point code I'll never use anywhere else.

And secondly, there is an option to play GB games in the yellowy green, right? I can't find it. I just have dull grey, with scaling that's far too soft. Where are the display options?

So I got Mario Land and Excitebike 3D, which is exactly what that is. I do love Mario Land but it's really not pretty looking on the 3DS. Very little else in the store, although with some of the DSi Ware in there (not sure it's all there, Chopemon), can I download the ones from my DSi at all?

got the store and excitebike this morning but not without a few connection errors, can't have been weight of traffic at 6:30am ?

slow update is sloooooooooooooooooooo (15 minutes later) ooow

[Lebowski]

So far: Grabbed Excitebike, Pokemon AR thingy, Mario Land, Tennis, Alleyway.
Now, I'm transferring my DSiWare games from my DSi.

The store is getting bombarded at the moment so there are loads of connection errors - but if you persevere - eventually you can get what you want.

Kryss, 3D arkanoid game?! Wha?! Link please mate.

That's everything on the UK store you got then, let's just hope nintendo build from here as this is a pretty slow and poor start, the gameboy stuff looks very muddy, and there is nothing original game wise

On a side note is there anything of note worth picking up for dsi ware missed all that stuff as never had a dsi

?3.60 for GB games... That's not actually bad, was expecting a fiver.

All seems okish, I just wish there was more Gameboy games at launc, ie, ZELDA!. Excitebike is nice for free, not played the other free game yet.

I don't like the fact you cannot use Nintendo points and the fact you have to buy minimum of ?10.00 in credits, it should have been the same as the Playstation store.

I'll say one thing for Nintendo, regardless of how shabby the update might have actually been: If they give a fixed date for an update, it arrives on the day! When M$ and lolidentitytheft (my new name for Sony, might need some work that one) try and put out updates, they arrive so late they may as well be next day!

Hay guys, there's more to the world than just America! How about an update at 10am Goddamn Mean Time for a change?

[Papercut]

Tinkering with the Pokedex, seems like fun - any idea how the image capture part works?

The shop seems pretty slick - updated UK and JPN machines at about 8am, took about 10 mins, and game downloads were reasonably fast.

Not tried the browser yet!

It was first announced to arrive late may, then they changed it to June 6, we got the update today: June 7. Microsoft has never done anything like that.

Personally thought ?3.60 was expensive, given how basic (and old!) GB games are. How much do the NES games work out to be on the Wii store? I think the GB games should equate to around half their price.

Edit: What the hell is with this having to turn off your machine if it errors when in the shop? Bloody annoying!

Just to answer my own question, yes there is. It's L+R+Y I think. It's in the instructions.

Lol. Of course they have. All companies have unforeseen delays. Microsoft are no different.
