The red one is actually pretty good, if anyone likes red. It looks much better in combination with the black half of the system than the odd teal-shade blue does, imo.

Got the 3DS yesterday from Wal-Mart with Ocarina of Time. I gotta say the 3D looks pretty good. I'm liking the system so far.

Haha not quite. They paid less and get everything we get.
You are so right my friend. I am slacking on keeping up to date on all of my information. Thanks for the update though!
Good call, what other games you going to pick up?

Well, the guy who originally asked to buy one is buying or already bought one. He wanted to purchase it at Walmart so he could get the discount and the free games...so the red one is kinda null in the decision.

Best to wait for the red 3DS. Show off its sexiness to your friends.

100 bucks seems like a steal, I'd go with that. But if you really want to spend an extra 70 bucks to have your 3DS be red instead, well I guess if it is worth it to you.

Will a 2gb SD card be enough space for the 10 NES games and the 10 GBA games?
GunmasterLombardi
Smash Champion
Yes.
NES and GBA games take up very little space.

So for these free games, do you have to download them tonight? Or can you just system update and download them at a later date?

As long as you've connected to the eshop once before, you can download them at any date. But from what I can gather, they're not actually sending out the games until September.

And that's just the NES games out on September1st. The GBA games are due out before the end of the year, they said.
I'm sure we'll be getting clearer details really soon.

Excitebike 3D only takes up 183 blocks, and though I don't know how blocks convert to traditional memory, I have 10,816 left on my 2GB after downloading EB3D, Pokedex 3D, and about 7 trailers.
http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/dsi/en_na/sdCards.jsp#blocks
This puts Excitebike 3D at "only" 23 MB. It'd be more helpful if you gave me the size of a Virtual Console game, so I can make some estimates based on ROMs from there, but considering we won't be getting ridiculous 3D enhancements or anything, an estimate of around 5 MB per GBA game, or 40 blocks, and somewhere around 300 KB per NES game, or 2-3 blocks, would likely be reasonable.

So let's say you get these games and you have them on your SD card, you can use them on your DSi too right?

I don't think it works like that Fuelbi.

I got 64 blocks per GBA, but are all of the GBA titles so far standard sized GBA games? There are some games like Mother 3 that take up about 4 times as much as normal. And I don't have any NES VC games/ROMs, so I dunno, but I guess that sounds about right. So I guess based on that we are looking at 430-670 blocks total. That doesn't seem too awful, I mean Nintendo Video takes up 2439 additional blocks, so it's hardly the most massive memory waste. I hope we can redownload these if we upgrade to a bigger SD card.
What do you mean? NES and GBA games are already pirated all the time.
WaffleBlaster
Smash Journeyman
Yeah, they haven't bothered to crack down on PC pirating, and the NES/GBA games will be under the same protection as other DSi/3DSware
theeboredone

Yeah as of now, there are no flashcarts that play 3DS games, although they are easy to find and dl. So far, it also seems like there hasn't been a game with a NEED for 3D so I wouldn't be surprised if an emulator comes out without the use of 3D and just the ability to play 3DS games.

Hardly a problem. Nintendo banked too hard on the 3D craze.
Honestly, does ANYONE care about 3D in games? I certainly don't.
GunmasterLombardi
Smash Champion
I'm sorry but there are NO games on the 3DS that I'm am interested in...
WaffleBlaster
Smash Journeyman
Not even Ocarina 3D, Street Fighter IV, Star Fox 64, Resident Evil Mercenaries, Resident Evil Revelations, Kid Icarus, Super Mario 3D, Super Paper Mario, Cave Story 3D, Mario Kart 7, Snake Eater 3D, Ace Combat 3D, Luigi's Mansion 2, Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle, Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, or Tales of the Abyss? Man, you are picky!
theeboredone

I think he meant right now...which makes over half the games you listed null lol.
GunmasterLombardi

I play all kinds of games.
The Metal Solid Collection is coming to PS3 and 360 so I wouldn't play a handheld version of Snake Eater. Kid Icarus Uprising is the only game left in my interest.
EDIT: Square Enix needs to make KH3 b4 I buy their games again.

I agree completely. I'm sick of the KH spinoffs. 358/2 days just couldn't hold my interest and I didn't buy Birth by Sleep either(though I did hear that it was a good game). But I don't get why they won't just make the 3rd one already. It's not like KH3 will be the last in the series or anything.
theeboredone
Smash Legend
Well the team that's made KH 1 and 2 is currently working on FF13 Versus. And we all know how that is going.
WaffleBlaster
Smash Journeyman
KH:DDD does actually take place after 2 and Coded, so it'll advance the story and hopefully hold us over. I hope to god KHIII doesn't become another Duke Nukem Forever
Master Xanthan
Smash Champion
Wasn't coded like the same thing as KH1? Like you just went to the same worlds. Technically takes place at a different time, sure but it seemed like a rehash from what I heard.
There was a craze? Nintendo very clearly does what it wants and has done so since the beginning.
Yes, I did miss that part. Source?
