Anyone use any specific cleaning products for their 3DS? I do have one of those pieces of cloth you have for glasses, but it's starting to accumulate quite a bit of dirt (I live near the water and catch a ferry to work, so it's quite easy to get spray and whatnot on it when I'm sitting outside).
At least it's finally getting some use after 7 months. Thank god for SM3DL and Tales of the Abyss.

I'm just worried it'll start stripping the paint (3DS looks like acrylic plastic to me). I'll give it a shot once I go shopping tomorrow.

It has't stripped mine yet. Mind you, my top screen doesn't seem to be fingerprint-free (although, TBH, I don't think it ever was. Otherwise I wouldn't have got the Windex out). _________________

Drop in and play friend functionality is good. Glad to see Nintendo is finally taking steps towards online interaction. Baby steps, but steps nonetheless.
Don't know what to think of the camera now able to record some 3D vids, but I can imagine a lot of people doing certain "activities" with it.
Nintendo eShop is still a gigantic mess.
EDIT: Holy crap, the Mii Plaza has achievements and a sequel to Streetpass Quest. Now I have to get more hats.

The update adds a 'join game' option to the standard friend's list, so if your friend is playing a compatible game you can see and directly join their match. _________________

Oh, I had that before the update...
Oh, unless he didn't mean it came with the update. It just seemed like that.

Streetpass Quest 2 is such a guilty pleasure of mine. I hope Nintendo keeps giving us more content like this.

I finally got my hands on a 3DS thanks to my other half and Christmas
So far, I can only have the 3D slider on about the middle, otherwise my eyes take a beating. Even though I'm yet to buy any games for it I am really impressed with the system so far. Online is far superior to the DS Lite. The AR thing is really fun and I quite enjoy Face Raiders. Had a quick bash of Four Swords and that was great.
Looking to grab Super Mario 3D Land or OoT.. not sure which. Still sort of worried about my eyes and the low '3D' tolerance though. Ah well, at least you can switch it off.

Give Mario 3D Land a try. Some games I can't play with the slider more than half way, but Mario is the true exception. In fact, I have it up full and it doesn't bother me for hours on end. It's either that, or my eyes have adjusted from using the console regularly.

SM3DL has the best 3D effect currently. It doesn't strain the eyes like some other games (Pilotwings Resort I'm looking at you), and offers two different modes of 3D, one that pops inwards like all other 3DS games, and one that simulates a "popping outward" effect, which is the default effect.
I'd get Starfox 64 3D as well, but I'm biased and love that game to bits.

I really enjoyed Lylat Wars so I'll look into that too! Does it have multi player dogfight mode like the original?

Yeah, offline only though. One of the main reasons I never bought it.

The fact that it is a remake of the best Starfox game out of the series is good enough for me.
That and it's the best looking 3DS game. Zoneth and Solar, hnnnngghh.

Superb selection, I only own Sacred Stones so this is a major win for me, assuming we get the same titles. Minish Cap & Yoshi's Island alone makes me glad that I bought the 3DS before the price drop. _________________

I have all those games on cart (multiples of most ) but that is an absolutely stellar lineup, I would not complain for a moment about having all those games available on the move  _________________
