shucks

[NintendoReport]

and NA? hehe

[KeptMyWiiUAndLeftTheForums]

Please. NA needs this. Europe has been get all the cool stuff recently.

 

Oh... so this is only for randomly selected Club Nintendo members apparently? And not even people who were part of the original ambassador program were guaranteed.

So that's not as cool. In fact that' pretty crappy.

Random selection is always the best way to go for a beta test

[AdmiralClassy]

Well I didn't get selected.

don't really want to buy a n3ds yet anyway, I don't know how long it's going to be until we see a next gen handheld from ninty and my current 3ds xl is treating me fine. Maybe if throughout 2015 a number of quality new3ds exclusive titles are announced my outlook will change and I'll see about trading in my xl for a n3ds on the cheap but for now I see no need for this.

 

Do we have an actual release date for the non ambassador n3ds in Europe yet?

[Wolf]

I got the email today. Very very tempted but I don't need one so I'll let it pass.

Looks quite cool and I've already seen them ready to sell on eBay for around £250.

[Scumbag]

Still no charger Nintendo? Lol, although it does look cool.

[iEatTacos]

Lucky folks, can't wait for the NA release

[Lupaie]

I bought me one 😛

I bought me one

I changed my mind, just ordered mine too. What the hell, why not have one before they get here in the summer. Now to hunt down SSB to play on it.

Thinking about mh3 as a preperation for the next one. Not sure the second analoque stick will work with it though

Yes, it'll be interesting to see how good it is as a second stick. Has to be better than the current set up though.

Those face plates are priced at just over £7 each. That seems very cheap?

Here's some videos I took earlier of the beastie :3

Since you have one, I have a stupidish question: Does the nub works as a CCP in the case of stuff like Mon Hun 3U/Any CCP games that aren't like KI, where it's solely for Lefties?

I haven't been able to test it out on any games yet, however it works on the Home Menu, You can use the C-Stick to change your selection and the ZR and ZL buttons change the page

This action was announced 2 days ago, how did people already receive the package? I ordered it right away and, apart from the fact that the site mentioned a 'receive within 7 days line', I am wondering when it will actually arrive at my doorstep.

I payed an extra five quid for express next day delivery... I ordered it at 8pm the day before delivery as well, how neat is that

 

Also, as able to finally try out the C-Stick properly, I tried with Resi and KI and both work wonderfully, a bit weird at first but it works very well

Also, the battery will last you about four hours for constant play with 3D on full, volume up, super stable 3D on (you can turn it off and on), network on, auto brightness off, power saving off and a bit of network play and internet browsing... pretty decent if you ask me :3

That sounds awesome. Did you already try how 3d tracking works in a dark room? I am so afraid it wil result in false 3d views

It actually works quite well in a dark room (may need a few seconds at first to see you) I even tried in a pitch black room

 

Tip, you get wider angles when you remove any glasses you wear and make sure there are not obstructions on your face
