Well, that makes Mario Kart(and the rumored Kirby, for the most part) useless.

(Also, I now have a 3DS, too.)

£115 at quite a few places in the UK (Tesco, and Amazon to name a few). If only I had the money!

you can't do wireless GB games because of how they had set the linking system to rely so heavily on the speed of the cable that to do it wirelessly would involve remaking the game.

Didn't they pack in a wireless GBA link-thing with FireRed/LeafGreen?

*GuruGuru214* · 08/13/2011, 01:22 am

Yeah, but it's not useable as a link cable (in fact, you have to go to a different person in-game to use the wireless adapter than you do for the link cable), and I think it was only compatible with FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald.

Rawr · 08/13/2011, 03:04 am

Sigh, I caved at the £115 price. (Good job I did too, price has gone back up to £135 now on Amazon). Only thing I'm really disappointed with, excluding the lack of games, is the backwards compatibility. It looks a bit washed out and blurry. It isn't game breaking or anything, but still disappointing never the less.

There's a button command you can do upon starting to shrink the games down.

Oh I realise that, start and select, but that isn't exactly ideal as well, since it creates rather large black bars. I'll just continue to use my ds lite to be honest.

RetroVortex · 08/13/2011, 05:43 am

I don't know why people are getting so OTT over the DS playback on the 3DS.

It seems absolutely fine to me.

Rather Dashing · 08/13/2011, 05:45 am

Because playing DS games on a 3DS is inferior to playing DS games on a DS, and the DS is the only system between the two that actually has a library with any good titles in it?

Aye, that's a fair comparison, the DS has been out what, nearly seven years now, 3DS not even six months.

But you're ignoring the fact that the 3DS screen is still the same size as the DSiXL and people had 0 complaints then. Now they're complaining oversomething so retarded.

Rawr · 08/13/2011, 03:11 pm

It can't possibly be because some people didn't have a DSiXL to complain about in the first place, could it...

That said, I did ask someone who owns an XL DS, and they said it's still better than playing DS games on the 3DS, so clearly the problem can't be as bad on the DS.

I'm not sure why you're making such a big deal out of this. Yeah, okay I get that the problem may not bother you, but it bothers some people. Each to their own.

It's not a "comparison", not in the same way you mean it, anyway. It's a reason not to take advantage of the many DS trade-in programs that could chop off a large portion of the system's price. If it played DS games perfectly, the trade-in(or trade-up) could POSSIBLY be justified. As it is, keeping a hold of the DS is a good idea if you want to actually have some satisfactory gameplay time with a dual screen Nintendo handheld made in the past decade.

I'm still running a DSPhat. I'd like to get a DSlite but I don't see the need to go any farther than that right now. I'll get a 3DS for OOT3D and any 3DS games that look good afterwards. I'll not be using it for DS games.

By the way, does the 3DS play DS games in 3D? Probably not, eh?

Nope, it doesn't.

Actually it looks just like it does on the 3DS. My friend was bitching about the 3DS' horrible display of DS games so I put Pokemon in mine and compared it to his DSiXL one. Looked the same.

Also, at Dashing, they do allow you to run the DS games like they natively should with the DS. Most people just bitch about it because it adds two black bars to the side of your screen. Like how the PS3 does with PS1 or PS2 games, yet no one seems to bitch then.

If that is indeed the case, I would have complained just as much to be honest, infact I'd have taken it back to the store and just used my DS lite! The problem is, it is a significant difference in quality between the ds lite and 3ds, having lined up both consoles side by side running the same game. You either have massive black bars, or blur and washed out colours on the 3DS. Fantastic. Both of which you don't get on the DS lite. So yeah, I think I'll stick to using my DS Lite for playing Ds games, thank you very much.

As for the PS3. You do realise there is an option to make those games fill the entire screen, and with that the game still doesn't suffer from washed out colours like the 3DS seems to have with ds games.

No, but it does stretch the entire image across the screen which looks incredibly tacky. Screw that. Aspect ratio conservation ftw.
