I think it is really worth getting a 3DS now, compared with the last 2 years.

Sorry for the bump but I have a question for European 3DS users: are there Nintendo eShop cards being sold in your country?

The Portuguese Nintendo has been promissing the said cards since the release of the eShop and yet I see nothing.

This isn't directly Nintendo-related, but is Mario-related. I just came across this old video of myself playing a bunch of Mario songs by ear back when I was twelve:



There are some cringe-worthy mistakes, but it's actually not nearly as bad as I remember it being. My hands are so damn stiff here!

Sorry if this is too unrelated to Nintendo itself, I wasn't exactly sure where to put it.

Even with the note mistakes I quite liked to listen to your Mario musical performance. ;) Fantastic.

That's pretty well played, Adsolution! (Makes me wish i had my own piano to play.)

Anyways, I'm definitely going to buy a 3DS for my birthday. Though I want to know what's the really big differences of the 3DS and the 3DS XL (besides the obvious bigger screens).

@Bradandez I believe that the only differences, except for the obvious bigger size and weight, it is a more lasting battery and nothing quite much else.

Try to check Nintendo's official website for tech information.

@Master I read those news before. I'll miss the E3s though, the Nintendo ones used to be quite entertaining. I invite you to read this article:

Ah, that's too bad. Whenever E3 comes around I love to search the web to see which franchises are getting new games. Excited to see the two games and screenshots, though.

I wish I could play that well but pianos hate me. ;A; Nice job with it!

Not sure if I'm bringing really old news to the table, but I finally spotted eShop cards in Europe.

I didn't see them in here yet, well done Nintendo.

Well, tomorrow most of Wii channels will stop working. Rest in peace.

I took some photos to my final stats of Everybody Votes Channel, I used it a lot.

I'm still waiting for them to fully update Virtual Console to the eShop. Really want Castlevania. Also hoping so, so badly they'll put Mario Party 1 and 3 on it. Gamecube better be on it too.

And on the topic of the eShop: Will Gameboy Advance games ever come for the 3DS? I remember being really excited but so far it seems to be a dying wish.

The Wii Shop Channel will still work at least. I just find funny how almost in the end of life of the console, Nintendo remembers in creating an YouTube Channel for the console.

lol Mario Kart 8 is just Crash Nitro Kart Rip-Off :lol:
Not saying it will be bad game (infact it will be good game of course), but I am just not excited for it at all.

Yes, such a rip-off, because any Kart racing game utilizing gravity is a rip-off of Crash Nitro Kart.
