I got a text saying I could pick up Rayman earlier this week, but what's the point when I don't have the system yet.

There are quite a few people preordering it that have all their stuff but the system.

So I can trade between Black and White? Cool.

To the best of my knowledge it will play most imported old DS games, but not most DSi enhanced stuff. Although I have seen that an early reviewers copy of the Australian 3DS had someone running a JPN version of Black and White or something.

Going to play the 3DS @ Best Buy on Saturday, van't wait to see if the see it, to believe it is true. But it's kinda ironic how I'm playing it before the launch date. Considering I'm not getting it til June.

3DS comes out Thursday here, gonna trade in my DS Lite, sell some of my older DS games to a friend of mine who got a DS recently and is looking for cheap games.
All in all, should manage to get it quite cheap.

do you know what ironic means

I got the 3DS!!!

It's awesome, the 3D isn't perfect, but it's still amazing. The highlight of the system is Face Raiders in my eyes.

I just got it too! Its absolutely fasanating! Though I don't like using the Mii's camera mode. Its a little too accurate unfair.

I tried that, let's just say it made me look more... Who ate all the pies than I am.

EDIT: Woah, Face Raiders works surprisingly well on my cat.

Dude, I tried it on this monkey that was carved out of a coconut. After experiencing what you can only call the ultimate monkey nightmare IN 3D I had to lock the monkey away in my closet as merely looking at it has me freaked out!

...Ohh... Kay....

I'm looking for more stuff to Face Raid now.

EDIT: Check out the box for AC: Brotherhood, it was the perfect Ezio for Face Raiding.

AR is f*** cool.


Bigger cards = bigger figurines (I don't have a printer so I hooked my comp into my TV)

In case someone has a printer, http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/download/3ds_arcard.pdf

Honestly, the 3D effect isn't as good as I thought it would be. It's annoying having to be in the right position for the effect, and it took a while before I finally got it right the first time.

AR cards are a neat thought, but I don't really have the room to use them to the full effect. Ideally, you want a small table in a room to be able to go all the way around the card. I don't have that at the moment. Haven't tried face raiders yet...

Also, Monkey Ball is pretty good, I guess. I remember trying the Gamecube one at a mcdonalds before, this one plays like that one. Monkey Race mode is like a less awesome Mario Kart, and Monkey Fight mode is like if SSB had 1 attack, 1 item, 3 stages, and only coin mode. Still waiting on gamestop to get in Rayman.
