Unfortunately because of finances I had to sell my DSi, deleted all my DSi store purchases when I sold it. So I guess all those games are lost and I'll need to rebuy them. Ugh.

So, even though Nintendo has record that your purchased those titles on the DSi, they will not allow you to download them for free onto your 3DS?

I don't think so from what I understand.

We'll find out tonight, I guess.
This would be my PSN Trophy Card, but I guess I can't post HTML in my Signature. I'm the pixel spaceship, and I have nine Gold trophies.

Aw.

Please note that if you have downloaded the "White Knuckles" music video from OK Go in the previous update, the video will now be deleted from your system.

Did they say you wouldn't be able to re-download it? or is it just assumed to be unavailable after tomorrow?

I dunno.  That's all it says on Nintendo's site.

Not that I care too much, but it was a neat thing to show off to people.


I don't care really. I thought the 3d is not impressive, and while I do appreciate the dogs in that video the music wasn't nothing special. Meh


Now I wonder if any aps will be available tonight? I would actually want the Wii Forcast, News channel. That would be nice to be able to cache that in the morning and have it work whenever i'm offline and update via spot pass when online again.

We've known all along.  Nintendo's been very straight forward that both units would be required to transfer titles.  It's all done locally.

Which is why it's inexcusable that save data doesn't transfer. If I were just transferring the account and had to redownload everything I might understand that.

Can you not copy save data to an SD card like you can with most Wii games?

Ugh at the lack of update.

Still there are a number of DSiWare games I wanted to check out. The Shantae game for example. Never played one but it looked interesting.

Evening - Noun: The period of time at the end of the day, usually from about 6 p.m. to bedtime.

I want this update as bad as anyone else (or worse), but I think they've still got about an hour and a half to release it ("evening of June 6th, Pacific time")

By that definition on average it be 10 PST which would be tomorrow for most of the US.
The real problem is this is just another botched PR thing by NoA.

I don't get why it's botched.

They said "A new system update for the hand-held Nintendo 3DS system will be available in North America the evening of June 6 Pacific time."

Since "evening" is defined as being between six and "bedtime" (which 10 O'clock seems pretty normal.. although the DS is for kiddies, so perhaps it should be 7 or so), as long as they release it by 10 O'clock Pacific, I'd say they're good.

You want to say it was botched because it wasn't released at launch - okay, I'd agree.  Botched because they missed the supposed May launch?  Sure.  But botched because it's not out yet for the 6th?  Naw... not yet, at least.

Its setting an expectation.  Honestly when you say "I'll call you this evening" do you call people at 10?

I'd never use that term.  I'd be more inclined to give an estimated time or say "I'll call you tonight."  - so I can't honestly answer that question.

How late is "evening" to you?

For me, it's before 10. Given that, I've got two hours and fifteen minutes to get angry.

Wouldn't that be a little over an hour?
