Anybody see Reggie's announcement about the beefy 3DS update at the end of November? Question

Any thoughts?

I was kinda pumped, but also kinda underwhelmed. Just want the games, lol. But rejoice!!! new reasons to use StreetPass Mii Plaza!!!

Yes, I may just turn my street pass back on in Mii Plaza. I know it's terrible, but when you've passed the maximum # of passes the system can even track for one person, you get a little (a LOT) tired of seeing that light come on and going into the plaza hundreds of times only to see the same ONE person (who you live with) over and over and over, and NOBODY else!!!

I'm gonna get some use out of Hulu Plus for the Wii. Our DVR is overloaded with shows. This is going to free it up some.

New puzzles and dungeon..finally!

Not so excited for the 3D video. I'm scared the quality of the cameras are going to make them abysmal. And why be able to post them on the internet? Low quality 3D videos that can only be seen in 2D?

I wish they would also add some new AR Games too.

Yeah, their excuse that the small screens don't need higher resolution cameras is just bull. These pics look terrible, even on the 3DS. ALL cell phone cameras have higher resolution by FAR!

Actually, Streex, given that the 3D effect of the photos really only works at close range, 3D videos would have to be taken close-up anyway, so the resolution may not matter, much. I'm looking forward to the stop-action feature. Remember my old toy movies? Now I can make movies of my Muscle Men... IN 3D!!!

The 3D video feature would be a lot cooler if they allowed us to send them to other 3DS owners. Then I could watch Muscle Men 3D!

Abso-freaking-lutely! Where is that bloody feature? I mean honestly- who else is even going to watch a 3DS-made video? Also, then I could see Skylanders 3D directed by Streex, with the frozen characters just like in the Skylanders trailer I saw...

lol. I would turn the Portal of Power into a WWE ring.

I also noticed that the update will allow downloads while in sleep mode. This would be the perfect time to add gifting so I could send eShop game requests to you guys while you are sleeping. Surprised

Oh, you mean, like when we initiate a game download, we can close the 3DS and it will keep going?

In unrelated news, a reference to Streex's favorite, (despite his protests to the contrary,) failed game character:

Poor Bubsy. I'd like to see someone give the ol cat another shot. I'll be fine if Ristar never sees the light of day again.
