Friend codes are now specific to each 3DS console, not each game. Exchanging friend codes will allow you to check your friend's list at any time to see who's online and what they're playing.

About bloody time.

• Stereo cameras that enable users to take 3D photos that can be viewed instantly on the 3D screen.

Interesting... 3D nudes anyone?

• StreetPass, a feature that lets Nintendo 3DS exchange data automatically with other Nintendo 3DS systems within range, even in sleep mode once this feature is activated by the user. Data for multiple games can be exchanged simultaneously.

Wasn't this planned for DS originally? Either way it's a nice feature... especially for Pokemon trainers (if used well).

• System Transfer which enable users to transfer already purchased software from one Nintendo 3DS system to another. DSiWare purchased for the Nintendo DSi or the Nintendo DSi XL can also be transferred into a Nintendo 3DS system.**

Oh awesome, DSiWare consumers weren't fucked over... all the way at least. Wonder how limited they are.

Recommended distance of wireless communication is within 98.4 feet. This can be shorter depending on the environmental situation. WPA and WPA2 are marks of the Wi-Fi Alliance.

Finally, done with WEP.

Battery Duration: When playing Nintendo 3DS software about 3-5 hours. When playing Nintendo DS software about 5-8 hours. Battery duration differs depending on the brightness setting of the screen. The information regarding battery duration is a rough standard. It can be shorter depending on what functions of the Nintendo 3DS system are used.

Eh.......

Also, apparently 3DS Game Carts can hold up to 8GB?
