The Nintendo 3DS Thread

I got a fairly good deal on one. The machine itself was relatively cheap and you got a game of your choice for £10 so figuring that it's not going to drop down in price any time soon I snatched one and it even came a day early.

I got SSFIV with it. I've not kept up with the Street Fighter series since SSFII but it seemed a good idea for a full gaming experience unlike Pilotwings which I also wanted but it seemed too short and basic.

In the menu and mini games/camera I wasn't impressed with the 3D at all. It seemed like all it did was put certain images ever so slightly in front of the other but it's impressive in the actual cartridge game. Like people have said it's like having mini figures come alive and fight inside a diarama. It's neat to see T Hawks in elbows for example look like the it's leaning just outside the screen in Dynamic mode.

Even the 2D graphics look awesome. If Ocarina of Time has new features and isn't just slicker graphics I'm sold as well as the Galaxy-eque Super Mario game.

Question to anyone who's played a regular DS game on this system. Does the analog stick/circle pad work as an alternate D Pad? Mario 64 DS would be perfect if it had that as a control.
