Nintendo 3DS and NINTENDO WORLD 2011 Review

Nintendo 3DS and NINTENDO WORLD 2011 Review
So you have try 3DS at NINTENDO WORLD 2011 huh?
The venue is not so crowded.
How is the situation?
I arrived at 10:30, 30 mins after opening. Enter the venue smoothy. The venus is quite wide so you can walk comfortably. Well we go there just to play games and watch event and PV, so won't be so crowded.
Huh.
Here are some photos. This is the way to the venue, not that of TGS.

And lineup to enter. Actually don't need to wait.

Inside the venus. Some poster of a Japanese idol group playing 3DS. I just take photos without the idol group, you know, to avoid problem.

The group would attend the CM too.
And around the venue. Under the big board is the test play area. The photos were took on Jan 8, 10:00 to 11:00.

Many people at Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D and Kid Icarus booths.
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D need to wait 110 min and Kid Icarus need to wait an hour.
That long!?
Kid Icarus booth is two times bigger than that of Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D. So the number of fans are about the same. Kid Icarus is thought to be a launch title so many people want to try.
But it is not a launch title now.
You can know the waiting time at information center too. The first photo is around 11:00.

And these 2 are took around 12:00. You can know the popularity by the number of booth of each game. Some games' playing time is shorter so don't need to wait that long.

Games with 2 times bigger booth are nintendogs + cats, Kid Icarus, Resident Evil Revelations and Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D.
And here comes the stage event. They don't allow me to take photo so I need to stay away.

No one is watching...
Japanese comedian performing but I'm not interested. You can watch the show at monitor when you lining up at test play area.
That's great.
And the wall of grief.

What the!!
Seems you can watch some erotic video there.
Shut up!!
You can watch 3D PV of some games not available for test play here.
Huh.
Mario Kart and Zelda are HOTTEST. No limit here but many people watch for short time and move to watch another stuff.
Any interesting title?
No test play so this is just first impression. Concerning 3D, Paper Mario and Winning Eleven Soccer 3D are doing well. Paper Mario really gives an impact. Other games are not special, even though becoming 3D.
Really.
Not related to 3D, but Steel Diver is interesting. A game of submarine, quite a frest experience.
That's all?
And the console of 3DS.

One and a half month till we can play it.
The event is like that.
How is the atmosphere?
Comedian show is stupid. Should arrange some more interesting event. That's just for promotion though.
Artist gain TV attention huh.
As we just come to play games and watch PV, people are quite quiet, and the atmosphere is not lonely though.
That's okay.
If Konami provide Love Plus 3D to be shown here, the venue would become a hell. Some strange guys would line up.
......
You can try 3DS throughout Japan at the coming events. Check it out.
