[locusman2009]

u understand chinies???

[andriuuu1]

on 4:54  i have neveeeerrrrrr known what was its technique.....a GPS maybe?? cuz on my DS lite has too but i dont know how to use it xD

[DavisGuy64]

David, do you know what the Nintendo iZone is? I heard it was on the Japanese 3DS but not on the US 3DS.

[yumyumkidd]

do u speak jappenes

[InfernoCorey]

Do you have to import your games from japan? The 3DS is region locked.

[heroscaper57]

how old are u??? and what do yuo do for a liveing sorry for asking just wondering lol

[MrTheludman]

i bought the Nintendo 3ds............BUT IT DIDN'T COME WITH THE OPERATTION MANUAL OR THE AR CARDS SO I HAD TO PLACE AN ORDER....but at least it's free

[cuttaheather]

So, you can transfer the dsi ware games on your DSi to the 3DS?

[71773able]

@cuttaheather, not until a worldwide firmware update in May.

[BryceBrutalityX]

Lol why would you go through all that trouble to get a nds with a language you don't understand? XD I know a bit japanese but I still wouldn't do that, but hey thats me haha.

[xXthemariokidXx]

hey ummmmm what games did you buy with the 3ds because i pre ordered the 3ds and super street fighter with it and out of the games that you have i would like to know the most recommended games PLZ right back

[Razor1398]

can't you change the language in the settings?

[Hotcheese97]

@Razor1398 I don't think you can because the japanese version of it will only support japanese and EU version will support all EU launguages etc.

[TheSEGAMAN1]

what about that 3d movie app

[infinityendsHERE]

@TheSEGAMAN1 it's been rumored that the 3DS will be getting NetFlix sometime in the summer.

(I'm assuming that's the 'movie app' you were talking about)

[71773able]

@infinityendsHERE, it IS getting Netflix this Summer. Movies in 3D without glasses FTW!

[zabuza825]

Quick question: can you turn off spotpass and streetpass?

I just have this thing about downloads that happen on my game consoles without my permission.

[chaoswolf715]

@zabuza825

Yes, you can turn it off.

[zabuza825]

@chaoswolf715

Do you mean in the settings or by turning by wireless off completely?

[chaoswolf715]

@zabuza825

You can do both i believe

[ThePippen1234]

change the language settings!!!!!!!!

[now2407]

do a video about 3d video

[ZAKATTACKISWACK]

Why dont u change the language

[ChapatizALexia]

Its so different compared to the ds lite/dsi/dsi xl

Its sure worth every penny

[sudabin2000]

cant u change the language for everyone to be able to read just asking if u could do that

[TheRuben654]

cool i noticed we have the same Bday doesn't really matter much but it's interresting

[DidierFire]

@Nintendo3DS why u make it so dark

[nuffsaidguy]

wait the 3ds has the same crappy music format as the dsi?, also hows the web browser, can you download videos?

[imlieksokewl123]

@nuffsaidguy yea im asking the same question

[blackboy526]

@nuffsaidguy

No its AAC & MP3 for music (: and it will slightly better for the web. i dont think u can download videos but they will have netflix on it till summer

[tdivv41]

I just preorderd my 3ds today yaaay

[ElCholoProductions]

why dont you make a review of really important things like the camera, the music player... also please answer, does it have a mic?

[MrTheludman]

@will4z00 the same way as the dsi

[conoritania]

i should really stop looking at these spoilers cos i looked at zelda spirit tracks footage before i got it and i just wasnt suprised when i got it, maybe u should just wait if u dont want it to be boring

[will4z00]

Im not buying 3DS till i know how to get my dsiware on it....

[MrWing1478]

 So David are you going to buy another 3ds when it comes out in australia so you can like understand what all the games and stuff say.

[RayMunchies]

Nice one ;) Can u tell me, if it is possible to change the menue/system language into english or any european language? I would like to order the 3ds from japan, but my japanese language is quite boring :P

Cheers

[Tmal10]

Hey, regarding DS games, an article on 1up games are saying that due to the fact that 3DS' screens are higher resolution; the result of the games having to be upscaled to the 3DS' screens creates something of a smeared visual, ie. it's not very nice to look at?

Whats your thoughts on that?

[croc122]

@Rafsterlol Yes, all DS games are compatible with the 3DS, except for Guitar Hero, since there is no GBA slot for the guitar peripheral.

[71773able]

Each channel has it's own short skit music like the Wii did?? Awesome!

[easterlingderek34]

You call this rough, you explain more than other videos do.

[lifestream85]

are you also planning on Buying 3DS in your country?

[easterlingderek34]

@lifestream85 He said in some of his other video that he is going to pick up one in his own country.

[megamanfan3]

I guess I might have to replace my DSi with a 3DS. I have a faulty L button on that DS system. I guess it's from abuse. I might have to treat my future 3DS system with better care compared to the DSi.

[SuperElotesLocos]

I like the music... :D

[MrGENOCIDEGeorge]

Hey, David. I was wondering, can you give yourself a name to compliment your friend code, that everyone will see? Kinda confused about this.

Also, if it works like I said above, how long can the name be?

[Brownie101abc]

@Brownie101abc

[Brownie101abc]

@Nintendo3DS sorry then. i was jus wondering wel

[robloxkacper]

does the 3ds have problems with the suhoulder buttons like dsi

[coolmanr]

@robloxkacper what problems?

[tslopez1]

I so cannot wait till I get my 3DS! I've had my Nintendo DS lite (the only nintendo thing) for 4 years!! But it's helped me alot. It also survives for the whole day without charging it, because I put the brightness on 1!

I love my Nintendo DS lite, but I think it needs to retire.

But I'll still remember you NDS lite (Because I'm trading you in for my 3DS)

Spread some Nintendo Love!! XD

[cliffboy100]

can anyone else give me the answers to these two questions from a recent post i made.

david can you make a video on the activity log as of coins and other stuff and what does the nintendo zone channel look like, face raiders and also 3ds download i want to see the 3ds downloadplay to see, 1) if the 3ds can download ds demos 2) can u use it to multiplayer singlecard ds games

[Lostzilla847]

why would you want a japanese 3DS

[CandysAllMediaReview]

Forgot to ask, what will you do with the Japanese 3DS you have now when you buy another 3DS when it's released in your country on the 26th I think? Will you keep it or give it away?

[CandysAllMediaReview]

David, I wanted to make you aware that the NintendoUnity channel have quite a lot of your videos uploaded on your channel. They give you credit but in case you aren't cool with that, I wanted to tell you

[TheBreakfastJig]

@Nintendo3DS

does this thing have a messaging system or not? like sending PMs to friends? please answer. like everybody says it does, but i havnt seen it.

[98avi]

did you skip college or graduate

[Nintendo3DS]

@98avi Skip. I didn't find schooling particularly interesting.

[chuninuzomaki]

@Nintendo3DS Other than making websites, what is your main source of income?

[aluwart]

@Nintendo3DS Then what do you do for a job?

[djmiles099]

@Nintendo3DS And then you decided to go to Japan? Tha--THAT'S AGAINST THE RULES!!!

although, I do agree with you on that.

...

I might do that.

[23745jdh]

@Nintendo3DS is the 3DS fun?

[23745jdh]

@Nintendo3DS is the 3DS fun?do you have the game kid icarus ?

[KaptenJojje]

@23745jdh It's not released yet,

[71773able]

@23745jdh, it's an all-around entertainment device! 3DS Camera: Take 3D photos! Mii Maker: Make Miis from a photo! Streetpass Mii Plaza: See other people's Mii characters and what they like to play! AR Games: Watch a game unfold on your very own table/floor-and play it! Face Raiders: Your head will be placed in a variety of shooting targets, and you have to shoot them! Activity Log: See what you've played, and how long you've played them! PLEASE LOOK AT THE OFFICIAL NINTENDO WEBSITE.

[Not18Im13]

@71773able

Has a bunch of free games that come preloaded so I can play that while I wait to get LOZ OOT 3D

[3ToTheDS]

@Nintendo3DS OMG DAVID UR BDAY IS 2 DAYS BEFORE MINE! EPICNESS!

[Numero103]

message?

[123linkwarrior]

can u go to the menu when playing an original 3ds game?

[LyokoWarrier1fan]

@123linkwarrior You can go to the HOME menu while playing 3DS games. When playing DS games you can't, it will just ask you if you want to exit and go back to the Main Menu.

[silversupershit]

Is there an alarm clock?

[Casper9070]

@Nintendo3DS is it true that 1 out of 10 people cant see the 3D effect on the Nintendo 3DS???

[leatopia]

@Casper9070 thats for british people: 1/10 british people. I don't know the ratios for other populations.

[wolfdude618]

are you going to get the u.s 3ds?

[leatopia]

@wolfdude618 He prob doesnt need to considering the Australian 3ds launches 2 days after NA.... Thats really not that much of a wait.

[Brownie101abc]

ok let me get this straight....u went to japan jus because u couldnt wait to get a 3ds nd u cnt even read it?! wat the heck?!

[Nintendo3DS]

@Brownie101abc No, I went to Japan for 2 months because travel is incredibly important to me. I wandered around the country with a good friend of mine during that time and picked up a 3DS in the last couple of days.

[4929646]

@Nintendo3DS stll though why waste money on something you cant even read when you could just wait some more time?

[Nintendo3DS]

@4929646 Because I build websites and make videos for a living. It's my job to get the 3DS and its games asap. ;)

[caquillo07]

@Nintendo3DS will you get the english version when it comes out?

[InfernoCorey]

@Nintendo3DS Sounds like a really nice living.

[Not18Im13]

@Nintendo3DS

So you can read japanese right?

sorry just wondering :P

[linkanator126]

@4929646 Why are you suck a dick?

[4929646]

@linkanator126 it was just a question,calm down.

[tristenj1992]

I can't comprehend what possible reason anyone would have to dislike a video like this. I mean, it's informative, it's not opinionated or anything. There's nothing to oppose.

[cliffboy100]

@tristenj1992 yeah it's just stupid. it's probably a NGP fanboy or someone who either dislikes nintendo or the 3ds.

[zeioIIDX]

I'm losing my mind waiting for this thing to come out (o_0)

[cliffboy100]

@zeioIIDX me too! i want it sooooooo badly. JUST COME IN STORES NOW!!!!

[cliffboy100]

david can you make a video on the activity log as of coins and other stuff and what does the nintendo zone channel look like, face raiders and also 3ds download i want to see the 3ds downloadplay to see, 1) if the 3ds can download ds demos 2) can u use it to multiplayer singlecard ds games,

and 3) if you are playing a multiplayer singlecard 3ds game can someone with a dsi do

multiplayer but, just without the 3d?

[fiftybottles]

@cliffboy100 i can already tell you that the last one isnt possible because the 3DS uses graphics that are far too advanced for the DS to render.

[cliffboy100]

@fiftybottles the reason why ids because all of my friends that have a ds except one person, will still have their ds so if i wanted to play( i all ready know it's not a launch title) mariokart3d then only me and my friend who has a 3ds will be able to multiplayer which will such because they don't see that the dsi/xl is gonna die and they won't get a 3ds til' latter .that's why i'm trading my xl. if you was buying a 3ds and ur freinds aren't getting it @ launch you would be lonly.

[blackabe11]

@adioboard7 no... a japanese 3ds can only be set to japanese (1 language) ... you can change the american version of the 3ds to spanish english and france (3 languages ) ... the european version of the 3ds to GERMAN spanish france italian and english (maby more but those are for sure) (5 languages) ... i wrote GERMAN BIG cuz i live in germany ... i mean GERMANY ... joke

[joeyjojoshabjunior]

are you going to make a video about the samurai chronicles games?

[sonicdremgenesis]

WAIT.. Do i need to wait for the internet Bower in and vtaural console in may  in north Americana ?

[Jamiesuitor]

@sonicdremgenesis web browser no, dsi shop ye nigger.

[Jamiesuitor]

@sonicdremgenesis yeah, you have to wait for both, Lol.

[blackabe11]

today i learned more from david then from my school... wait i didnt have school... but it doesnt changes the fact that i learned more from david ...

[samkhan800]

Can you send messages to your friends?

[NinjaNidoking]

duuude only 19 days to go...

[silver2ch]

@NinjaNidoking thats a lot -_-

[blackabe11]

@NinjaNidoking 19,19,19,19, gosh did you have to remember me??? now i'm thinking ONLY 19 DAYS ,ONLY 19 DAYS... i cant wait for the last day...

[NinjaNidoking]

@blackabe11

(i think)

some even longer.

[blackabe11]

@NinjaNidoking the 3ds is out on march 31st is austrailia (25 days) ... those poor guys... poor david ... but you already got yours david

[Notty92]

Game notes would be cool for like monster hunter hopefully. Please Monster hunter, come to 3DS so i can use notes on you.....

[9ponbor]

How good is the 3D effects so far?

1-5 plz

[NASCARFAN160]

Do you know if you can still change the brightness with SELECT + Volume +/- buttons?

[leatopia]

@NASCARFAN160 the volume is a slider now- so i don't think so.

[NintendoFan2009]

David... What is 'Nintendo Zone'?? I read about it but didn't find out what it actually is...

[sulley1993]

Is there no way to change the language on the 3DS??

[leatopia]

@sulley1993 No, JP 3ds's are only in Japanese you cannot change the language.

[Masterhandrocks123]

A few questions

1. what is with the 3d movie icon has it already been released?

2. is there a chat system between the original dses and one between 3dses

3. is there a ds download feature for between older dses and 3dses

thanks

[leatopia]

@Masterhandrocks123 I can answer those:

1. Its a app showing/reminding that 3D video is on its way. ( basically a Demo/presentation)

2. No- But there is a chat like system for 3DS's

3. Yes, when you select the download and play icon, it asks you to select which one you are connecting to a DS or 3DS. If you already have the game, and you wish to do multiplayer, it connects automatically regardless.

[MrSpoofyman]

David how good would you say the 3d effect is

thanks

[foofoothesnoo123456]

i have a question is picto chat on there like on the original ds and dsi? and if there is does it differ from those two?

[YodatheJedi12]

@foofoothesnoo123456 There is no picto chat

[foofoothesnoo123456]

@YodatheJedi12 oh okay it doesn't really matter seeing how i don't ever use it.

[RedYoshiReturns]

Do a lot of people play SSF4IV3D online?

[Nintendo3DS]

@RedYoshiReturns Well I haven't had any trouble finding a match in a matter of seconds.

[RedYoshiReturns]

@Nintendo3DS Great! :D

[cabnfvr100]

I'm getting a black 3DS with Star Wars 3 The Clone Wars 3D

[badman1067]

Hey david, can you do ds download play on super street fighter 4 3d with a dsi? pls reply.

[ToaOfFlameX]

Hey David, any type of personal messaging system? Like all of the sites I've been on say that the 3DS has a messaging system, but I have yet to see it. Thanks! -Peter

[elofhopl]

is there a picto chat on the 3ds

[YodatheJedi12]

@elofhopl no

[9ponbor]

Will there be 1000 starter points?

[3DSConnect]

@9ponbor Nope.

[leatopia]

@9ponbor No the 3DS uses real Credit/Cash this time, there are no points. And it not compatible with older point cards.

[UltraPrimeHunter]

show us faceraiders....please

[grandmaster58]

should i get 3ds or ipad?

[TheNintendoCow]

@grandmaster58 3ds

[3alawi12]

@grandmaster58 3ds

[Alisha281097]

@grandmaster58 3DS! 3DS! 3DS!

[grandmaster58]

@Alisha281097

yeah, you're right, they both have angry birds, online store, web browsing but does the ipad have a no glasses 3d screen?

does it have nintendo games?

is it called the 3ds?

i think not!

[MattTheSaiyan]

That notes function could prove more useless than it seems....at least, when I get a 3DS when it comes to Australia, when I get stuck in a game, I won't have to start it up again to see what level I'm stuck on to then search for a video of it on YouTube....lol?

[Kanasai1911]

if you want a shorter version you can watch bash of kotaku's version. he's boring in video form though.

[IamGilgamesh666]

Hey can you rearrange the order of the icons in the main menu?

[Olehv94]

@IamGilgamesh666 Yes, Yes you can

[iFTwgaming1]

What is the movie icon with 3D beside it is that pictures?

[929akis]

David, in your unboxing of the 3DS you didnt show the SD card that comes with it? is the SD card only in europe Nintendo 3DS?

[Nintendo3DS]

@929akis SD card was there, just forgot to mention it. It comes inside the slot already. :)

[929akis]

David, do a video about face raiders

[MrSaturn22222]

The anticipation is killing me, I can't wait any longer!

[LightLink1992]

Are you already back in Australia?

[YodatheJedi12]

@LightLink1992 he is, he said so somewhere else..

[weirdnessofthem]

NOOO Turn the brightness back up!!! *he does it* Thank you.

[ECCWii]

can you send custom messages to friends.

[gamercat86]

Ocarina of Time 3D will include the original version as well as Master Quest. Thumbs up so everyone can read this!

[NellyingtonTheGreat]

Have you tied looking for a language change option? I know on the original ds they did.

[YodatheJedi12]

There is a "DS Download Play" button?

[muaz55]

@YodatheJedi12 yes, there is...

[YodatheJedi12]

@muaz55 Thanks!

[greengoldietv]

@YodatheJedi12 yes, there is. it can communicate with both the ds and the 3ds.

[sonicxracer]

Loving the videos!! QUESTION: What's the ON/OFF in the Brightness settings window? You didn't mention it and it's driving me nuts wondering! xD

[zenshadow26055]

@sonicxracer probably the battery life saving thing so it dosnt waste too much battery

[pokenerd1920]

hey you don't think that they have a language change in the setting don't they usually do?

[SmashCrossing97]

how long is the battery life with 3D, volume and brightness all down?

[patrick99ization]

cant wait!!!

[TheSammaster9]

I already knew most of this, but it's still great to watch your videos! only 3 more weeks until i can get my hands on a 3ds!

[teepee123psn]

Hey David I have a question does the 3DS support WPA routers??

[Mezut360]

Quick question

When the 3D effect is on FULL, how far is the 3D effect, as in the distance between the screen to the "end" of the 3D effect?

[alb3rttr3bla]

hi David, can we browse internet through the wifi connection?

[PockyStarPokemon]

David, do the games save to the system itself like the wii or just to the cartrige like the old ds?

[BenkiLegendaire]

Hey David, got a question about StreetPass. If you want to acquire data from someone else on a game like Street Fighter, would you need to have the Street Fighter cartridge in the 3DS when you're out and about or does it not matter?

[xclimatexcoldxx]

i dont know if this has been asked before, but do you know how many AR cards can be used at once on the AR game picture thingy? for example i found on siliconera that you can print the AR cards. so what im asking is like can you have like 9 samus, 3 mii, & 7 pikman together? if they fit on the screen of course. or what happens. or what the max size limit. of course a video would be easier. regardless thanks

[Chewiejds]

How does street pass work? You can get stuff from people for all your games even without there being a cartridge in the 3DS? And do you have to leave it on a street pass mode? or does the 3DS even have to be on??

[DinerSals]

@Chewiejds:

All you have to do is have a 3DS. And with certain things like SSF4 trophies, all you have to do is own and have data on the game.

[Chewiejds]

@DinerSals Do you know if the 3DS has to be on??
