Questions about the 3DS? Ask them here, and I’ll answer them in the next episode of ‘That One Show’!
The way I figure, not everyone here was able to get a 3DS right on launch day, and I’m sure those of you who didn’t have your reasons. If you’re still on the fence about whether or not to buy the system, and you have some questions about how good something is or how bad it is, or whether the system does something you want it to do, I’d love for you to ask those questions in the comments section of this post!
I’m putting up ‘That One Show – Episode 9’ tonight, and I’d love to answer any questions for you along with footage of me doing it/showing you it as proof. Now, I don’t have any games yet, but if you have any questions about the system itself, I think I’ve done enough rummaging around in the depths of the menu/pack-in games to answer them!
If you have any non-3DS questions for me, feel free to ask them as well!
If you weren’t able to pick up a 3DS for one reason or another today, you may just have another chance at winning one: Our (new) friends over at Waze e-mailed me today to let me know that they’re running a contest where iPhone and Android players can play a sort of “real life” Mario Kart via an app, which thereby leads them to a chance to win a 3DS of their very own.
Check out their blog for official rules and more info!

It still feels like yesterday when Nintendo first introduced the 3DS to the world. The Big N sent out a short, simple press release about the system, yet that alone was enough to generate a huge amount of buzz about its potential. After all, it had been six years since Nintendo last released a brand new handheld.
Yeesh, I totally forgot I needed to post this up tonight! Here’s the skinny, guys:
Our very good friends over at the company CM4 make some pretty sweet gaming accessories, including some high-end cases for the DSi, Wii, 3DS, etc etc. To make a long story short, we’ve got ourselves a slew of these cases to give away to all of you guys who are reading it, and unlike previous contests we’ve run, this one is very easy to enter, and very easy to win. There are two ways of doing this:
1. Via Twitter! If you’re following NintendoEverything on Twitter (which you should be!), then you know that every news story we post goes right to it and into your Twitter feeds. All you have to do is retweet this news story to all your followers, and (providing you mention @NinEverything in your tweet) and you’ll be entered to win! Make sure your Twitter e-mail is accurate so we can contact you should you be chosen.

2. Via Facebook! The second way to win some of this good stuff is to post a status tagging us (@NintendoEverything.com) in one of your statuses telling your friends about us or about the contest. I don’t really care what you say about us– if you say we’re the worst website ever or if you say we’re the coolest cats in town– just say SOMETHING. And nothing stupid like “NintendoEverything.com I like turtles.” Come on. You’re more creative than that.

As far as prizes go, we’ve got a couple Wiimote covers, a couple, DSi cases, a couple DSi XL cases, and I just got word that we will be lucky enough to get a hold of their upcoming 3DS cases as well for the contest! If you get chosen, you’ll have your pick of which ones you want, barring that someone before you didn’t already pick them. And these aren’t some second rate crappy system covers: These are the things that I use to cover my now-stolen DSi with and Wiimotes. They’re so good, in fact, that CM4 did a series of videos where they did violent things to them to see how well they’d fare, such as shooting them with a shotgun and throwing them off a building. Check it out if you don’t believe me:
Best of luck!
