That OoT didn't release with this is probably Nintendo's biggest mistake since *** SPOILERS ***

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Couple quick questions for the early adopters.

So what do the graphics look like in person? Screenshots from when it was announced looked better than PSP but the review videos look about the same as DS.

Do you spend more time with the 3D set to full, partial, or off and why?

How does the circle pad thing feel?

How do you feel about the fact that the 3DS price is more than double what it costs to make?

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Tried it out at Best Buy yesterday, and now I see what the "have to have it at a specific angle" thing is about. I tilted to the side no more than 7-9 degrees...ghosting all over the place. Up and down (or forward and backward) tilt was better...didn't get ghosting until probably close to 15 degrees.

They had Pilotwings as the demo game...I was not all that impressed. The analog pad was nice and responsive, though...much better than the PSP's analog nub. And granted this is still first gen software, but graphically, it only looked like a slight step up from the DS, and worse than the PSP.

Also, Dray, games out on the shelf before a system launch is not unusual, especially if it's a Nintendo console. Almost everyone adheres to a Tuesday release day, whereas Nintendo does their stuff on Sundays for their big (hardware and software) releases. So in order for the software to be on the shelf for launch, third party publishers almost always have their software out the Tuesday before.

I'll admit, the 3D effect is way cooler than I thought it would be. Street Fighter 4 is beautiful on it, if you want to see graphics (but it runs at 30 fps).

Do you spend more time with the 3D set to full, partial, or off and why?

Full. I have no problem looking at it (though a couple friends have said "oh my eyes! right away, which I then tell them they can turn the effect down)

How does the circle pad thing feel?

Feels pretty good, I prefer it for SF4 because the d-pad feels too small. I can't pull off double fireball motions w/ either though, sadly.

How do you feel about the fact that the 3DS price is more than double what it costs to make?

Standard Nintendo, so it doesn't effect me.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

I don't have the funds for this system at the moment, and honestly, I'm not in a rush. *cuddles his DS Lite*

Re: Nintendo 3DS

I think the start/select/home buttons below the lower screen sorta look and feel... slapdash? Like, I wanna wait to see what the next hardware revision is, to see if they make it a little sexier.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

agreed, those buttons suck.

also, it sucks that half the stuff in there doesn't work yet (like internet browser and online store)

play SSF4, it's definitely way better than psp

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Even Pilotwings had smoother-looking polygons than a PSP game.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

I've picked up an aqua blue 3DS with Street Fighter. Yeah I know, shut up.

my friend code is 4339-2526-5902.

so far I've added.... Kire.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

You'll pay $249.99 for SSFIV but not $30 for the PS3.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Yeah, I can see how that looks silly.

It was only a matter of time. With Dead or Alive, RE Mercinaries, and Ocarina 3D coming out in the next two months.

I also have a bad impulse buy syndrome.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Actually I guess including the cost of the cartridge it's more like $300. Hoo boy!

I know what you mean, but I'm bothered enough by the form factor of this iteration that I wanna wait for the next 3DS.
