Anybody else constantly checking their DS for the update? Free Excite Bike 3D if you DL on the 6th or 7th I hear. it’s already 4:59 PM PST, and not here just yet….

7:05PM PST, maybe Nintendo fooled us on this official June 6th announcement for the US and will release it June 7th worldwide?

Already 6:30 on the 7th here, no update yet…

Here now, Killer!

Heck yeah! 🙂

very very slow update, for the first time please keep your power cable pluged in. 😉

I try to DL free excite bike, Nintendo is acting unfair.

Screw it, I’ll get my money back for my warranty and buy an SD Gundam cart for VB. Nintendo needs to get with the times and honor their word.

I’ve had the firmware now for over 30 mins. total fail. Nintendo needs to come through…
Don;t need the same fail-canned answers as when the 64DD and GameCube failed.

Still waiting for this BS. If Nintendo needs a bulk of returns they *may* need to count me in. I bought a warranty, prepared for BS this time. Tomorrow I will either have excite bike or return this crap and buy a VB Gundam on ebay. Nintendo’s choice, not mine.

Updated this morning, not too slow, i just set it going while i showered, was done when i checked 10 min later, then downloaded Exitebike, no problems in UK.
Quite a neat little 3D’izing of an old game.

Gonna get to the wifi spot at work during lunch and download the trailers and all other free content i see.

Personally, I’d rather have a 3DS than Gundam any day, but then I’m not a collector and can play Gundam on flashboy so not really a fair comment.

You can download Excitebike until July 7th for free, not just 6th & 7th June.

I hope it works for you VJ, don’t send it back, besides i need 3DS friends who are also VB fans, one day we’ll play across the oceans, cue dreamy sequence in soft focus, I’m losing it here today, stop typing. 😕

Last night I had a tad too much juice of the barley, just ignore all my posts in this thread. 😡

I thought SD Gundam Dimension War was $500+? (the 3DS is only worth $250 unless if you count any games you got for it)

too bad I don’t have the money to buy your 3DS you don’t want (I don’t have a 3DS yet, can you believe it?)

also… the Gamecube was a failure?

@Hedgetrimmer

dreamy sequence? is 3DS playing among VB fans quite like a the opening of an Anime? 😛

I had no problems whit the update in my country.
Also the games pokemon and exite bike where no problem to download.

just a 5 min down in total

and now i just wait for zelda oot limited edition to come out 🙂
then the 3ds is will stay on allot to play that game again
