It has been nearly a year since I have last updated this blog!
3- Face plates for the vanity-holics!!!! You can change the face plate of the "new" 3DS in a few simple quick steps. You'll have to use a small "plus" screwdriver to unscrew the bottom plate. and for the top plate you'll have to use the 3DS stylus to just pull-and-open it. easy as that!! so no more buying special edition 3DSes just for the sake of looks. it's a nice move from Nintendo! money saver. <3
---Personal Experience: I have swapped my faceplates once till now. because I have no reason to change my faceplate anymore! JUST LOOK AT THE CUTE KUT-KU!!!!!
4- Two new shoulder buttons have been added. the ZR and ZL buttons. they act EXACTLY like the R and L buttons. the ZR and ZL buttons are just smaller. I can see many uses for it in the future.
--Personal Experience: my hands are Not big. but I could tell for those people who have big hands, the new ZR and ZL buttons will be really comfortable to use.
5- The upgraded process is AMAZING. the loading times to jump from the game to the HOME menu takes roughly less than 0.37 seconds to open. also the in-game loading times have been cut in half. there will be exclusive games for the new 3DS and new 3DSLL/XL that uses the faster processor. Nintendo have only announced one game till now which is Xenoblade Chronicles. THE Xenoblade Chronicles! this is exciting news as my wife and I are fans of the Xeno series.
---Personal Experience: Simply AMAZING. really! during a complex and hard hunts full of processing along with the 3D fully on, pressing the HOME button and jumping into the HOME menu takes literally less than 0.37 seconds. simply outstanding. I hardly see any framerate drops in Monster Hunter anymore. in the older model when playing hard quests with complex armor parts and skills it would drop the framerate. (not in a game breaking way. but for sensitive people that care about every little movement in the game, it might come off as an issue. but definitely not a game breaking issue.).
So that's it for now about the "new" 3DS. I have listed the big changes. there are other changes that I haven't personally tested it yet. so with further use of the device I will post about my experiences in the near future!
But now I am back and I'll do my bestest best to keep it updated and entertaining as much as possible!
Alright! Let's get down to business.
Tadaa! It's the "new" 3DS!! Just got it few days ago and man the upgrade Nintendo have done to the 3DS is phenomenal! I will list all of the new and upgraded things along with my personal experience with the device.
1- The 3D capabilities have been upgraded! There is a new sensor next to the front camera (the selfie lens) that will track your eyes or head and move the 3D objects so you'd be able to enjoy the Nintendo 3DS' 3D without it being chopped. Also they have enhanced it so it won't put strain on your eyes anymore. (For people who had problems with the 3D that caused headaches and nausea).
---Personal Experience: The new 3D capabilities are are great and they work flawlessly. I have found myself turning on the 3D while hunting in Monster Hunter way more often, in fact it is way more fun doing so. I have played Monster Hunter with the 3D on for about 4 hours and I didn't face any kind of problem biologically speaking.
2- The addition of the C stick! The C stick replaces your huge Slide pad extension for a nice small stick that resides just above the A B X Y buttons. It acts as a right analog for the 3DS. Every game that had the Slide pad support is supported by this C stick.
---Personal Experience: The thought of having a right analog on the 3DS without an extension made me so excited at first! but truth be told when I tried it, it felt too rigid and hard. you see the stick is literally a fat stick that doesn't wiggle nor move. it felt exactly like the small round button thing that Laptop companies have used in the past that sits in the exact middle of the keyboard. but the good thing about it that it's sensitive and acts real well. unless you are in a very hard fight in Monster Hunter that needs fast reflexes.
