Despite my terrible experiences with Pilot wings at best buy( looked all doubley and blurry) i picked up the 3ds this morning. I didnt think the 3d would work for me but wow, i must eat a bit of crow. I bought street fighter and the 3d is fantastic. I was soo skeptical but this new system feels amazing and is a treat to look at.

Anyone else have trouble connecting to wireless networks? I use an Airport Express- it works fine with my Wii, but my 3DS doesn't accept my password.

I have an Airport Express at my house (but no 3DS). I'm curious to know if you can get it working, Tanookisuit.

Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime 3 (3DS)

Looks like a DS up-port.

The only issue I had with WiFi was that the German keyboard layout on the system didn't include some of the characters used in my passphrase so I had to switch it to English for that.

If the 3DS sold as sluggishly as store shelves suggest then I'll probably have a hard time finding someone to street tag. I've tagged the demo units in the stores of the nearby city already, one of them showed a total of 5 tags. Also spot pass didn't trigger at all I believe (Samurai Warriors supports that for downloading new maps).

I wonder if the general public thinks this is just a new DS upgrade rather than a full on new system starting the next generation?

Heh, I wondered if Nintendo should have went with a different name or not. I guess we'll see how this plays out.

I was all for the thing getting a new name.

Some random observations:

There's no microphone port - meaning no headset voice chat. Not that there was much anyway.
There's no wrist strap slots. Meaning I can't force a wrist strap onto it.

There's two on the bottom of the system, in either corner closest tot he front. They're not rgularly shaped, but you could fit a wrist strap in there.

Ah, I see. Nice find

UncleBob · « **Reply #1884 on:** March 28, 2011, 11:07:07 PM »

Yup... What an awkward spot for them. Weird.

I actually like it better than the way they were set up on all the DS's. The 3DS setup i perfect for both left and right hands, and seems to be just like the Wii Remote set up.

My blue 3DS with Pilotwings and Street Fighter are in the mail for Wednesday. I didn't see too much coverage on other games. Are any other launch games worth retail, or should I just whittle down on my DS backlog (Dragon Quest IX, Super Scribblenauts, Professor Layton)? Looking forward to the e-shop, so I'll finally have a chance to play Link's Awakening.

Also, LOL at all the people on Ebay thinking they were going to get $500-1000 for these things. Glad to see Nintendo decided that it was better to have too much stock than not enough.

MegaByte · « **Reply #1887 on:** March 29, 2011, 01:21:15 AM »

It will be interesting to see how stock fares once words gets out and more people try it.

I finally got to put in some time with my 3ds today. Bagged me SSF4 and Ghost Recon.

SSF4 is an great game, practically the same as the HD versions. The only gripe that I have is that I'm finding it a little hard to pull off moves given how small the dpad and buttons are but other than that, game is great. One thing I have noticed though is that I'm not as good in Street Fighter as I remember myself being lol. Even on medium difficulty, I'm having a hard time with a few fights.

Ghost Recon is a hidden gem though, I haven't been able to put it down yet, its too addicting. I don't think I've ever played a japanese srpg this deap. Theres the usual elevation and field variations to take into account but they have various degrees of cover to use. Characters offer return and support fire. One class lets you create a drone and place it where ever you please which opens up different strategies. Another class is cloked to the enemy which again can be real handy if used properly. I'm around 15 percent into the game right now so I don't know what other suprises this game has in store for me but so far, I'm in love.

As for the system itself, amazing. The system just screams quality. Everything is so crisp, clean, smooth, and modern looking, very unNintendo. I'm also very surprised at the audio quality. To me it sounds leagues better than what my DSi pumped out. The music in Ghost Recon so far is tight, almost sounds as if it were digital surround sound. My wife who just happened to be listening to me play my game said it sounded like I was watching a movie lol.

All in all, no regrets on my end. I can't wait till the system hits full stride with all its features opened through updates and a steady stream of software coming out.

Other people's views on the 3DS, Samurai Warriors, and Ghost Recon, match mine, so I just wanted to say that I'm glad that so many are enjoying it.

Mannypon · « **Reply #1890 on:** March 29, 2011, 02:30:37 AM »

Yeah, I really hope Ghost Recon sees enough success to warrant a sequal. Clearly this game was designed for the ds so I can only imagine how the game could've been if it was designed from the ground up for the 3ds. A sequal with an adequet developement time and budget could really make this series shine.

Got it working. I just returned the Airport to the factory settings. I had previously changed some settings to make it work with my Samsung BluRay player.

Razorkid · « **Reply #1892 on:** March 29, 2011, 08:54:01 AM »

Absolutely loving the impressions folks! Keep 'em coming

Stogi · « **Reply #1893 on:** March 29, 2011, 11:15:39 AM »

LOL at Tanooki's avatar.

Does it actually work?

Caliban · « **Reply #1894 on:** March 29, 2011, 11:50:47 AM »

It does. I already have Yamauchi, Iwata, Reggie, Kojima, Miyamoto, Inafune, Hayao Miyazaki, guy from Super Monkey Ball/Yakuza, Shinji Mikami, Hideki Kamiya, and UncleBob.

Razorkid · « **Reply #1895 on:** March 29, 2011, 12:15:13 PM »

Yeah, I'm getting the itch to join the Q-code avatar club. Every time I see a new person put one up, I'm scrabbling for my 3DS to add them to my cast of characters
