Really loving it so far!

Giantbombcast not happy with the backwards compatibility. Apparently the graphics can either be full screen and stretched and blurry or scaled and teeny weeny. One guy on there saying he'll be keeping his DSi for non-3DS games.

Didnt pre order one of these and now I'm regretting it. What are the chances looking like for grabbing one off the highstreet this weekend?

Dispatch notice from Amazon for the console now!

Excellent.

Got mine from Shopto today, dont have any games because my girlfriend ordered them all from Amazon and they didn't get sent until today.

How else would they get the non-native DS games to work with the higher rated resolution of the 3DS? :confused:

And how "blurry" is it?

What are Amazon playing at? Everything dispatched but the console, all in seperate packages (even though I had ticked "Group Items")

They can shove it where the sun doesn't shine if I don't receive mine by tomorrow - might as well just drive to Tesco and buy one.

Just loaded up FF4 and its pretty blurry

3D slider off?

Adsta · 24 Mar 2011 at 18:50

Dunno why ppl are moaning about Amazon, both my 3DS and game has already been dispatched.
They were both dispatched early today. So it should arrive tomorrow.

FSAA? increase blur, reduce the jaggies....

Although I dont have anything but the AR cards I am impressed with the 3D display, it looks quite good.

It's not using FSAA.

The Running Man · 24 Mar 2011 at 19:14

i know, my post was an answer how to make the DS gams look better.

instead of just stretching them, how about some post processing features or fsaa applied ti smooth them out?

LeJosh · 24 Mar 2011 at 19:23

See I was confused if you thought it did.

I have no idea if the GPU supports those but I imagine it does and they may update it later on in the future.

Noxia · 24 Mar 2011 at 19:42

I love it, the 3D effect is totally above and beyond what I expected.

DaveOwl · 24 Mar 2011 at 20:09

Mine is just sat there charging (thanks Tesco Ent!) and I'm salivating

(joke)

HURRY UP! Damn those three hours...

Noxia · 24 Mar 2011 at 20:10

Well mine had enough battery to do stuff on but my OCD compels me to let it charge first.

NeoReloaded · 24 Mar 2011 at 20:10

Can you not play it for 3 hours?

Noxia · 24 Mar 2011 at 20:15

Yeah of course you can. Thats just how long a full charge takes.
