    The 360 is just an xbox with better graphics. I'm not really sure I see your argument - a ds with a 3d screen and a gyroscope makes a huge difference.

    I'm loving mine - picked up pilot wings and pes. Just wish there was a mario game on launch..

    Seriously? Bar 1 console generation, nintendo have always offered hardware advancement, not just horsepower (like the other 2 you mention favorably).

    The D pad, shoulder buttons, analogue sticks, motion control. Where the fuck would modern gaming be without them?

    it came out but was then removed when some users got an error. It's still knocking about if you google.

    I bit the bullet last night and got one from Tesco, along with PES, SF & Ridge Racer.

    Not played SF yet but RR didnt wow me however PES really did.

    I feel more immersed in games, however no games at the moment have the type of pull that could keep you on the system for a long time.

    Roll on Zelda OOT!

    There are a number of carts confirmed working with the 3DS.
    3DS roms aren't working, it's still only ds.

    CycloDS iEvolution
    R4iDSN or R4i Gold
    Acekard 2i
    Supercard DSTWO
    M3i Zero
    Supercard DSONEi
    Amazekard
    EX4i
    EZ Flash Vi
    R4iCN
    iSmart Premium

    Pretty much any re-flashable DSi card will work with the 3DS.

    Think I will wait a while to see what Nintendo do in relation to these carts working.

    I'm well into Lego star wars now. It's probably exactly same game on all platforms but it sure is fun. The 3D doesn't add anything to the game really, but does look good and doesn't give me headache

    I've only got Super Monkey Ball 3d on mine, once my eyes adjust to the screen I can play with no problems, want to buy Street Fighter but can't justify it when I have it on the 360.

    The only thing that I can't seem to get used to no matter how hard I try is the 3D camera. I can play the AR and Face games but when it's the camera on it's own my eyes hurt.

    Any DS cart will only work in DS mode and therefore will never play 3DS roms, its a whole different ball game, just the same with DSi roms. I'm sure there are plenty of teams already looking at how to hack 3DS roms, so we may see some progress pretty soon. I think it took around 18 months after launch for the DS to be cracked, so I wouldn't start bashing F5 on the gbatemp homepage just yet though

    I don't think that article holds much truth to be honest, first of all I cant find any statement from Nintendo that they would 'shut down' any 3DS that had been using a flash card, secondly, the article states theres no way to remove things from the play record, but actually you can. If that still leaves behind a trace is anyones guess, but even if it did, its VERY unlikely Nintendo would do anything as drastic as barring consoles, let alone bricking them.

    At the end of the day, a console that uses flash cards can still use original carts, which is a possible revenue, as well as other accessories and purchases off the DSiware/3DS channel, a 3DS shaped brick will never create any revenue for Nintendo and would put customers off buying second hand consoles, as well as new ones.

    Might pick up a card to play DS roms for the time being. I hope that in addition to 3DS roms, there will be some way to get 3D movies onto it sometime soon..

    acekard update is back up at acekard.com

    The Oldest AK2i Can't Update Temporarily

    The first type of AK2i, which has a little window in the shell of back, can't update to support 3DS temporarily. The HWID of this type of AK2i is "44". We need do more test. Please be patient. We're sorry for the inconvenience.
    Just tried it and it works fine, cant stand the upscaled image you get though, compared to my DSi XL its horribly washed out.

    I don't agree with this comment. Did you see the 3d graphics on the original ds... bland texture less models etc.

    On the new 3ds you get full on texture and detailed models like resident evil. Its a step forward for Nintendo and the DS.

    I assume the update has to be done on a DS/DS Lite not on the actual 3DS? Sorry if its an incredibly dumb question.

    Hi mate I'm sure I read somewhere on gbatemp that if you press start and select it goes to it's native resolution... Not sure though could be wrong

    Went in to gamestation and tested one out at the weekend, loved it. Ordered one from Asda direct for £187 which I'm picking up on the way home now
    haven't got any games though.. like a lot of you guys I can't decide or feel I can't justify buying the same game again.
    I loved playing streetfighter cos of it's familiarity, but never really liked number 4 on the consoles compared to number 3. I did fancy Pilotwings, but the reviews have put me off. Lego Starwars could be fun, but although I have enjoyed lego games in the past I'd only be buying it cos there isn't much else.
    Might just leave getting any games for the moment.

    It's definitely come a long way since the virtuaboy... that thing was nasty!
