Mirby Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 "Hands on with the 3DS, the undisputed star of this year’s E3" Have some game card~ Taken from RPM's 3DS topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overflow Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Those look pretty neat. I like the thinner case design. I think it was IGN that joked that every 3DS game should have a lenticular cover. That would be awesome. Anyways, I'ma going out of town for a couple weeks. When I get back, I wanna see 50,000 signatures for Virtual Handheld! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike911 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Very cool little device. And while I love the Virtual Console stuff they've announced for GBA and GB games, I really want them to announce NES and SNES Virtual Console functionality as well (or hell, any VC title that the system can run), which reeeally isn't that far of a stretch to ask for. Cool stuff. I'm pretty excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadofsky Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I've been reading other sites commentators on the price of the thing ($300), which they forget that most of the time Nintendo's tech usually comes out cheaper here. On a purely educated guess, I'd say for the U.S., they'll cut out the SD card and charging dock pack in. If not, hey, not a problem. But I think they'll try to cut cost down though....

Overflow Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 hi sup you're pretty bad at using the search function But I did use search I'm really excited for this thing. I think it says a lot for how Nintendo plans to move forwards: They're really pushing for transferring old downloads to the new system. Hopefully they'll follow the same mantra for the next console.

Ninja-san Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 So psyched for Street Fighter 3ds. And Zelda and star fox lol. Any idea what the games themselves are costing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 That'll be determined by the local branches, ie NoA, NoE, etc. But I'm guessing between 40 and 50 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanthos Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 VC for GB, GBC, and GBA. I don't know Japanese in the least; does it actually say GBA there or is that just wishful thinking? (I mean, it should, in theory, handle GBA since the DS obviously could, but still...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penfold Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 That's what I heard from the conference blogging last night. What you posted before makes no mention of GBA, and a quick google search didn't seem to result in any real confirmation. Unless there's a link to a transcript in the original Japanese that states it or unless Nintendo confirms it, I'd call it heresay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Adding on to PB's amazing post; 14:40 -- Nintendo will be bundling a 2GB SD card with the system. 14:41 -- They'll be selling Game Boy and Game Boy Advance "Virtual Console" games. 14:41 -- They will also sell "Classic Games" viewed in 3D. Although looking at Mark MacDonald's Twitter page, he says "others incorrectly reported it as GBA" Even if it's not at launch, it will surely come later. Systems were added to the Wii's VC as time went on, remember? It shouldn't be any different with this. We could even get Game Gear, Neo-Geo Pocket (Color), and possibly... WonderSwan?
