Nintendo 3DS (thread twooooo)

[Lebowski]

seems a big box for a 3ds



inside that box was these three items


closer look at the box


back of box


this was nice explains what the japanese symbols mean on the faceplate on the side of the box


and the new unit


over all very happy just downloaded shovel knight and it plays like a dream the head tracking and new 3d effects are fantastic no more moving head losing image like the original 3ds suffered from, took an age to do a system swap but was quite happy to see the pikmin moving all my data across.

the ambassador plates come attached and are printed with the same silver as the smash bros plates.
with the unique box it feels like more work has been put into this edition than just a faceplate and a white unit.

Yes, thanks for the pics Leboswki. I assume you were limited to only being able to buy one unit?

yeah the link to the shop page is still there but the buy button has gone, it says one unit per customer too.

[teddymeow]

I wonder if they'll release spare units for free sale after 12th Jan?

[VR46]

Maybe they'll email out to another batch of Ambassadors and do it that way.

Are you going to keep yours, or sell it on ebay?

[VR46]

I wasn't invited, regsitered a lot of 3DS and Wii U games in the last couple of years too.

It might be based on social stuff; like do you people with ambassador invites have your Twitter/Facebook accounts connected to your Nintendo ID?

Nintendo don't really want die-hard fans; they want people who will probably buy, and tell a lot of people.

[Lebowski]

it seems i could quite easliy flip it for over ?100 more than i paid for it but as its something i want to keep, I doubt I will be doing that, its a pretty small profit when you take ebay fees and postage costs into account too.

For anyone that doesn't already have it, Street Fighter 3DS is ?3.99 at Argos, lots of stock around by looks of it

Nice find thanks for this, will pick up a copy tomorrow

Never got along with that; that being said, I can recommend Dead or Alive Dimensions if people are after a fighter. The "tap-tap" nature of the moves is a bit better on the 3DS's d-pad.

Just a side note for those that ordered, not sure if you noticed but as its direct from the Nintendo Store you get 2 years warranty.

yeah the link to the shop page is still there but the buy button has gone, it says one unit per customer too.

Tried this too, unable to purchase another.

Quick question... any particular screen protectors recommended for these? Can't find any in UK at the moment, so I may order from an international seller on ebay.

?14 from Japan or 99p from Hong Kong.

Decisions, decisions...
