Nintendo 3DS

[ZeroAX]

when you'r young you are happy just playing a demo over and over again.

Being broke has the same effect

[FerretGamer]

Why do 3DS demos have limited uses? I'm being serious.

What's the logic behind limiting the amount of times you can play a demo?

So parents dont load up their kids 3ds wth demos, when your young you are happy just playing a demo over and over again.

That's what I did with my Playstation and its sampler disc.

@Ferrett:
same here, although i did that with a disc from Official Playstation Mag, which had a timed demo of Tony Hawks 2- must have spent days on that one!

Make me regret trading one of my Vitas for a Red 3DS XL...

I still don't get why they make it so Pikachu is upside down when the 3DS is open

[Opa Opa]

So we get the Pickachu edition 3DS. While I find it to be visually horrendous, I don't know why they wouldn't wait to release it with Pokemon X/Y.


And in other 3DS news, a jury has found Nintendo guilty of patent infringement with the 3DS 3D display tech.

A New York federal jury has ruled that Nintendo infringed on the patent of an inventor, Seijiro Tomita, pertaining to 3D display technology without the use of 3D glasses. Tomita sued Nintendo in 2011 for patent infringement because of their Nintendo 3DS system.

The jury, according to a Reuters report, has awarded the inventor Tomita $30.2 million in compensatory damages. Following the report, Kotaku reached out to Nintendo of America and received the following response:

A jury awarded $30.2 million in damages to Tomita Technologies in a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Tomita against Nintendo. The Tomita patent did not relate to the 3D games playable on the Nintendo 3DS. The trial was held in U.S. District Court in New York before Judge Jed Rakoff.

Nintendo is confident that the result will be set aside. The jury’s verdict will not impact Nintendo’s continued sales in the United States of its highly acclaimed line of video game hardware, software and accessories, including the Nintendo 3DS. Nintendo has a long history of developing innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others.

So, the 3DS is safe, but Nintendo might have to fork $30 million over. Ouch.

There is a good chance I will have yet another new friend code soon. because of this Pikachu 3DS XL..

[BoneSnapDeez]

Anyone know if Foto Showdown is compatible with the 3DS? I can't play it on my DS, as I only have a phat.

[ZenErik]

Pikachu 3DS XL ordered. Can't wait to see the looks I get when using it in public.

Luckily I had a friend that wanted the other one and they paid nearly full price for it. So I will have a new friend code in 1 1/2 weeks.
