Features you want to see on 3DS to optimize the capabilities. (self.3DS)

submitted ago by iamradnetro2363-6337-4575

Features I really want to have on 3DS is:

  1. 3D worldmap with features like weather and news like on Nintendo Wii.
  2. Social Network integration like you can post on facebook that your playing Mario Kart 7.
  3. RSS reader that use notification.
  4. Notification with sound.

  • Ability to take screenshots. Period.

[–]iamradnetro2363-6337-4575[S] 0 points1 point ago

agree :)

[–]Ubik-0328 6 points7 points ago

Better friends list capabilities:

  • User Names

  • Achievements to compare

  • Ability to join friends game

  • Chat

  • Notifications for things like Login/out and received message

Basically like the PS3 and Xbox 360.

I think this is the Nintendo Network :D

[–]screensplitter 3 points4 points ago

That's Nintendo Network for WiiU for sure, but here's hoping they give the 3DS a UI upgrade too.

[–]OddRyan 0 points1 point ago

I think they said it was coming to the 3DS first and then Wii U when it comes out.

[–]screensplitter 0 points1 point ago

True, but it'll be more difficult to add the Username system with the current friend system already in place. Might confuse the less savvy among us.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love an account based system.

[–]ParadoxVoid 0 points1 point ago

Hopefully they'll add a relatively painless system where it will just map a Username to a Friend Code, so you can input either one and it will match up to the person you want.

[–]Windwaker97 7 points8 points ago

A way to view videos on the web browser.

[–]Full_Circle 4 points5 points ago

3D Youtube videos!

[–]piexil 2 points3 points ago

I was thinking more of well, you know

[–]jerf 1 point2 points ago

A way to view videos easily from the SD card. We know beyond a shadow of a doubt the hardware can do it, they've deliberately crippled it.

[–]screensplitter 4 points5 points ago

3D Video Chat. Just 'cos.

[–]VOICE_OF_REASONING 5 points6 points ago

That would kinda suck as you would have to point the 3d camera at your face and then you wont be able to see the screen

[–]screensplitter 2 points3 points ago

I honestly didn't think of that egg on face

[–]VOICE_OF_REASONING 1 point2 points ago

Honestly any video chat would be nice though. With an option to switch to the 3D camera would be cool. Unless they already have that

[–]thedeevolution 0 points1 point ago

There's a forward camera above the screen too. Didn't know this until I played Starfox multiplayer because it puts a live video feed over your ship.

[–]didyouasspoundit 4 points5 points ago

3ds Sound Channel needs an improvement. Probably make an option to keep the music player running in the background with as little processing as possible and carries on through other applications/games. (It probably won't work in DS/Dsi-ware games.)

[–]razorbeamz5069-4373-1302 7 points8 points ago

The ability to upload pics to Facebook like with the DSi.

[–]screensplitter 2 points3 points ago

Baffles me that this and Flipnote are things the 3DS doesn't have yet

[–]Full_Circle 0 points1 point ago

The camera is such low quality though...

[–]QuinnSee3437-3048-4240 0 points1 point ago

So was the DSi's.

[–]Full_Circle 0 points1 point ago

Exactly.

[–]madstar 1 point2 points ago

No kidding, it's terrible. Any 5 year old phone can take better pics. It would be a waste of time to add this feature IMO.

[–]Nastrodamous 2 points3 points ago

5ghz support.

[–]jjzaus 5 points6 points ago

Decent games on eshop and large sd card and I'll be good.

[–]razorbeamz5069-4373-1302 10 points11 points ago

A large SD card is something you can do yourself :P

[–]jjzaus 0 points1 point ago

I should re-iterate; I would like 3ds titles for download, I don't want to spend $9 on old games I have already played.

[–]screensplitter 2 points3 points ago

Pushmo, Zen Pinball 3D, Mighty Switch Force, VVVVV, Mutant Mudds, Dillan's Rolling Western, Four Swords and the Samurai game.

[–]zombieofthepast 6 points7 points ago

I respectfully disagree with you implying that there are no decent games on the Eshop. It's all a matter of taste.

[–]theburni82r 7 points8 points ago

Yup there are a lot of nice titles in e-shop. We could use more though.

[–]zombieofthepast 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, definitely.

[–]piexil 1 point2 points ago

No more of this one game a week bullshit. And ports of iOS/Android games shouldn't be 7x more money.

[–]zombieofthepast 1 point2 points ago

As in Plants vs. Zombies? Yeah, way overpriced, especially since it's not even 3D...

[–]piexil 0 points1 point ago

Or Zenoia

[–]iamradnetro2363-6337-4575[S] 2 points3 points ago

But hopefully when they release Nintendo Network and we can download retail game, they will sell a gamecard which is for downloadable retail game instead of using SD.

[–]CheaterXero 0 points1 point ago

That sounds like a good idea but arent the game carts only like 4 or 8 gigs?

[–]iamradnetro2363-6337-4575[S] 0 points1 point ago

but it's bigger than SD so they I think it's easy to create a gamecard with higher capacity.

[–]SirFrancis_Bacon 1 point2 points ago

SD cards come in like up to 32gb..

[–]madstar 0 points1 point ago

The prices of games on the eshop makes me want an R4 so I can pirate. I'm not paying $10 for a game I can get off steam for $2.50.

[–]Ndheah0301-9847-4987 0 points1 point ago

So if Wal-Mart sold a title for $50 and Target sold a title for $10 and you couldn't go to Target you'd steal from Wal-Mart? I can't believe how people justify stealing software!

[–]gordallott 0 points1 point ago

i want the note taking app to also take a screenshot along with the note. that would be rather useful

[–]cl1ck2k1ll 0 points1 point ago

It already does!

[–]piexil 0 points1 point ago

I haven't seen it do it.

[–]zombieofthepast 0 points1 point ago

No it doesn't... It just allows you to see the current screen, not save it.

[–]sloopslarp 1 point2 points ago

I would like to see the ability to save settings for more than three wireless networks, as well as support for EAP authentication.

I also hope we get an expansion of letterbox (or something similar) that is instantaneous and doesn't open as a separate application.

[–]42net 0 points1 point ago

The ability to backup game saves from the cartridge to the SD card. You can do this with game saves stored on the Wii, why not make it so we can do the same with 3DS games.

[–]lujanr323480-2621-6503 0 points1 point ago

Youtube App, downloadable retail games

[–]madstar 0 points1 point ago

All I want is more games. Every other feature the 3DS does my phone can do 10x better.

[–]Midgers 1 point2 points ago

I really wish it had an HDMI out.

[–]zombieofthepast 2 points3 points ago

Oh fuck that would be awesome.

[–]piexil 0 points1 point ago

Hopefully there's support in there for some kind of video out similar to the psp's
