Just to follow up on this total tangent I've apparently sent the thread on, it turns out my UK card works with my Japanese Xbox Live account too.
So in other words, the only console of the three I have to get ripped off on marked up points cards for is the PS3, the console I use the most. BAH.

Time to fire up this topic again. Well, the final design and price were revealed, among other things. Apparently it'll be priced the same as the Wii was when it launched. Pretty steep. Here's a video showing the 3DS and some of the games: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UuyWKjat_UHere's a list of the games that are confirmed so far (not quite the same as the list Varion linked to in the first post): AQ InteractiveCubic Ninja (temp.)

Mega Man Legends 3! I wonder why it's on a handheld, not that I personally mind. I really thought it would go for PS3. But I don't care, the 3DS has shown to have a lot of potential, and... at this point, I'll take Legends 3 on whatever they want. ;_;

OP uploaded with most of the new stuff.
My heart is sad about the release date (I could've tried to pick one up when I was in Japan if it was November as rumoured) but my wallet is very relieved, especially with the price.
Anyway, my want for it is unchanged, stuck my name down on Play-Asia's preorder list for the teal one. Yeaaah.

Guess what guys? You trade in or sell a DSi with DSiWare on it? Never see it again. If you trade up your DSi or DSiXL with 'ware on it, you won't be able to transfer it over. I am -quite- sure that Nintendurr will make it a system-to-system transfer, quite unlike XBLA or PSN, where you simply verify the email used with your account, and activate your system. THANKS DRACONIAN NINTENDO. I won't be getting a 3DS for awhile anyway, no job.

I'm pretty sure if the transfer requires you to still have the original system in your possession, some stories will be accommodating. Case in point, if you trade in your old 360 for one of the slim models, Gamestop would let you keep the HDD so you could transfer your crap to the new system. If you didn't turn in your old HDD in some time limit (dunno what it was though), they'd revoke your credit from it. Either that or hunt you down and crush you under a dearth of GameInformer issues and requests to preorder the Madden of the year and currently top-billed mainstream title

Tales of the Abyss (temp.) !!! In 3D, and I'll buy the 3DS ! Abyss seems to be getting a bit of attention overseas too, with Namco doing an apparent reprint of the game and acquiring the rights to the anime... or something. I don't really pay too much attention to the details. xd

Tales of the Abyss (temp.) *pre-orders 3DS* (Not literally, but I would, had I the means to. XD) Now if any of the later 3DS versions had an extra analog stick, on the right side, then I would start hoping for a Smash game, too. Or GC controller compatibility, to then connect the handheld on a TV, in that case. Or so, if possible. xD Also, I'm keeping my eyes on MML3, too.

Ooh, Tales of the Abyss port. That could be quite brilliant! The original version was definitely my favourite Tales game story and character-wise, but it was kind of a mess from a technical standpoint. Nasty loading times, lots of slowdown, broken free-run, and so forth. If they actually take the time to polish it a little rather than doing a straight port with 3-D, I'd consider buying it again.

Nice to see an Abyss port with additional contents, but problem is will Namco localize it?... Would get a 3DS eventually but only after a price drop, seriously, US$300 is overkill for a handheld.

So, got to play around with this thing today. Played a bit of the Deku Tree on Ocarina of Time (2 hour queue lolol) and the easy mode stage on Kid Icarus, then watched the 3D trailers of Tales of the Abyss, Paper Mario and Star Fox.
All in all, I liked it. The graphics look quite nice (miles better than the original DS, and thanks to there not being dithering everywhere better than the PSP as well), the 3D effect was generally quite cool if not really worth making a huge deal about, the slide pad is infinitely better than the PSP's incredibly painful nub, and the aqua blue colour looks just as nice to me in person as it did in pictures. Definitely getting that one.
In fact I only really had one issue with it, though it's a pretty big one. The viewing angles suck. It was pretty pronounced especially when I was playing Zelda, as there were no seats at that booth so we had to stand up and play. At first I thought the 3D just didn't work with my eyes or something because all I could see was double vision, but then I eventually found a good spot... briefly, until I lost it again. Repeat for most of the 8 minute session. The problem was massively reduced for Kid Icarus because I could sit down and leave the 3DS on the stand and play that way, but I can imagine the leaning forward position making my neck pretty sore after a while.
It's not quite 'you can't move your head even an inch or you've lost it' level bad, but if you either like relaxing and moving the handheld around while playing, have shaky hands or can't stay in almost the same position for your whole gaming session I can't help but feel the 3D will get to be more trouble than it's worth. Either way, I'm still in for one on launch, although the launch lineup is terrible so I won't actually be getting any games with it, heh.

Good thing the 3D isn't mandatory
I'm still planning on picking one up near launch. I hope the US gets better launch titles than Japan 'cause only the Layton game had my interest and only one title wasn't a sequel... I think
