There is a System Update already, if you manually go look for it.

The only thing I can absolutely confirm that it does is downloads a 3D Music Video to watch; If it actually fixes anything, no idea!

It doesn't do anything, its just a video to make you happy until Nintendo figures it out. Nyaa

Ghost Recon is by far the best 3DS launch game!!!  The game is awesome, its more Fire Emblem than Xcom, I enjoyed both a lot. The 3D effect is fantastic, it looks like you are looking down on a board game.



I whole-heartedly agree! Street Fighter was an incredible waste of money for me; I should have listened to my instincts --BUT-- the manager of the GameStop by me was very, very cool when I had my little "issue" this morning, he did an exchange for me --AND-- he allowed me to return the SSFIV for FULL credit! I put it down towards Kid Icarus. Who knows when that one will hit, but at least, now, it's already paid for!

Now we cant play. Sad Good job though, yeah SF4 seems like a waste for me as well, I just remembered why I never bought it in the first place, it does nothing for me.

Yeah. Sorry 'bout that! Ghost Recon is on though, if I actually open up the manual and see exactly how to play multiplayer... for all I know it may only be local!

Speaking of RE, did you know there's a skirmish map in Ghost Recon where you have to defend a town against a Zombie attack?!  Nyaa

I just looked at Ebay, omg the sellers are getting slaughtered, nothing is selling. Every once and a while I see a 3DS sold for $255, maybe $280. There is no demand at all, especially since you can walk into any store and get one.

Can someone explain the DS resolution thing to me. I have tried any DS games and done the Start Select thing, saw the cart spin and saw no difference. With Pokemon and I cant get the cart to spin.  I have tried many games not once seeing any difference when I hold start select or when I dont.

It looked cool but Shane really sells it. I wish more "dev" walkthroughs were more like that. Shane knows what we want to hear about and doesn't hide stuff with PR speak, its like one of us describing the game to each other.
