I don't have Ghost Recon yet but I do intend on picking it up soon.

Mine is 4940-5454-2954. I already added yours.

Did anyone try out Archery #2? That game is genuinely hard...and fun! I would describe what makes it fun but I would just be spoiling it. :P

That game took me 12 minutes to finish compared to #1 which took me 47 seconds...

Another game that is fun is Free fishing. The weather/time of day changes as you fish. Very nice. Apparently there are 38(or is it 31?) or something fish to catch and I only managed 8 so far.

Good choice! You shan't regret it

Really loving Ghost recon, Pretty impressed with the 3d, kinda like looking down in a living gameboard.

Apologies if someone has already written about this (I've just been lurking sporadically in this thread), but: does anyone use the 3DS while commuting? I have a PSP (and a less-used iPod Touch) that I use almost exclusively while I'm sitting on the bus in to work for an hour a day. I'd planned on just waiting for the NGP, but all these rave reviews about the 3DS have me kind of interested.

The whole "sweet spot" thing has been holding me back (plus I have to admit that none of the launch games appeal to me yet), but I'm curious if anyone has been using their 3DS on the go.

I'd like to know the same thing. However, we can always play with the 3D off while on something as shaky as a bus. I take the train and bus. I'm presuming it won't be a problem on the train, though I am a little worried the 3D might make me feel queasy while moving. Would love to hear if anyone has tried it.

Yes, nintendo have done well to make this a social console with streetpass and spotpass plus the pedometer which gets you play coins. These add incentive to take your 3DS out and about, the first moment you pass someone with streetpass is very exciting! Commuting with the 3DS is fine, generally on the bus or train it's not actually too bad but sometimes the 3D will have to go off when the journey is consistently bumpy. The sweet spot is noticeable and I hated it at first but it's already growing on me so you should get used to it. I think there's alot of good variety in the launch lineup but no killer game which could put some people off.

I've been playing it on the bus every day since I got it, usually with the 3D on. Sometimes if the bus jostles badly I lose focus for a split second, but I can easily regain it in well under a second. I don't know if that is the case for everyone, but I have no problem whatsoever "latching on" to the 3D effect, either from jostling or from looking away from the screen.

Yeah, you can't move your head very much, but there's enough wiggle room for engine vibrations and regular roads. Cobblestone streets are playable, but I generally turn the 3D pretty low while we're driving on them. Speed bumps and potholes will definitely throw you off.

There's a guy I talk to on MSN swears he keeps seeing his PC screen in 3D after playing his 3DS. Either that's an illusion or his eyes are genuinely about to cave in.
