Happy Birthday to the 3DS!

The Nintendo 3DS has been out a full year now (today, in North America!).  Some of the major changes have included:

  • Launch of the eShop
  • Price drop ($250 down to current $170)
  • System updates for Street Pass, addition of video recording
  • Swapnote
  • Launching of major software (Super Mario 3D Land, Mariokart 7, Kid Icarus Uprising, among numerous other great 1st and 3rd party titles)
  • Available in Aqua Blue, Cosmo Black, Flame Red and Pearl Pink

There are plenty other highlights over the past year.

As Nintendo of America celebrates it’s 1st birthday, a gift to each owner:  A Reggie Mii!  If you connect to the internet (like to the eShop) then return to the main menu, you should get a spot pass notification for the Streetpass Plaza.  Upon opening, you will see the Reggie Mii who will add a special Mii accomplishment, ANY puzzle piece of your choice (from any of the available panels), and he will be a level 5 fighter in Find Mii 1 (or 2).

    I even have the aqua one you showed.  I didn’t grab the 3DS right when it came out – but my wife snagged it for me for Christmas.  Luckily I didn’t have to suffer through some of the growing pains or the higher price point, but I have been very happy with my little system there.
