Shadow Fire Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Good news, especially for those who have a Nintendo 3DS and/or Xbox 360. A system update has been released for both. The 3DS system update gives additional extras for the Mii Plaza, as well as a new Nintendo Zone application. I haven't been able to access it properly yet, due to there being no Nintendo Zones around me, but you can access special content on the go.

As for the Xbox 360, the Dashboard has had a complete overhaul, and it is now in the format of the new board, which is similar to that used with the Kinect Dashboard. You can also Sync with Cloud now, so online saves are in. How's that for a slice of gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 ...I can't get demos from the eShop? I really, really, do not see why Nintendo did it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okami Takahashi Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 The 3DS update won't be here until tomorrow. It also includes Find Me II for those who completed Find Mii in Streetpass Mii Plaza. I hope they add more puzzles too. Also, 3D Video Making. Edit: Huh, seems the update was released a day early. Probably should have read the first post. But when do we get the 3D video making stuff? QAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okami Takahashi Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I just tried after posting that, seems Nintendo gave it to us a day early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekupk5 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Cant wait for the demo's, im really impressed Nintendo is doing this with retail games now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secant Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Why should we have go to specially designated areas to try out demos? I think it would make a lot more sense to put them in the eShop or something. Considering there's probably not a zone in a thirty-mile radius of where I live, this feature will likely be utterly useless to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering there's probably not a zone in a thirty-mile radius of where I live, this feature will likely be utterly useless to me. I agree. And while it's all a little closer to me, definitely not in walking distance. I can't just approach my mom or dad, and say something like "Hey, can you drive me to a store so I can demo a game on my 3DS?" Ugh, I am irritated with this approach. Seriously.

gameus Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I don't have a 3DS but I do have the Xbox. In my honest to god opinion, the dashboard overhaul is just terrible. They added some new, cool things that I enjoy, (like the new Netflix app) but I don't like the new design or how the laid things out. They've invaded the "home" channel with a giant advertisement block in the middle (if not connected to Xbox Live, it'll say Connect to Xbox Live), made profiles (like signing in and out) a whole new channel, and the entire order of things is just screwed up. I do like that Microsoft changes things up but they either overdo it or they don't do enough. I'm curious on other people's opinions on it.

Conker Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 My opinion? The Metro UI sucks, seriously. They are trying to slap it on every product of theirs, and it's getting damn annoying. The NXE dashboard was amazing, and perfect. While I have not updated yet, I am going to dread having to do it to be able to communicate with my friends. I already know I will not like it, because I hate the Metro UI. So yeah, my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 My opinion? I actually like the new UI. It will take a bit of getting used to, but it's actually a pretty awesome interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Well, shame I hate Metro. But yeah, I'll get used to it eventually. And I guess the TV thing they added is nice, too. Now I just need to ask my parents for the Comcast account details, so I can actually use it. :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malqua Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Although I have never played or even seen Kinect in action, I believe Microsoft actually re-did the Xbox's sleek new dashboard to fit with Windows 8's new Metro theme style. I like it, it seems less cluttered, and even seems to move faster, although I'm wondering why they would want to have two different systems with the same design? Sure it's a Microsoft system and they can do whatever they want, but I personally would like to have my system stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
