Re: Why the 3DS Will Not Use an Achievement System

Yamishi

As has been mentioned, achievements give me more to do in a game, once I've finished it.

The fact that achievements/trophies are universal is a huge draw, because I can show off to my friends how I beat Contra on a single credit, or cleared all of Sonic's stages with an S rank.

That said, I'll still be getting a 3DS, and I'll still enjoy the Hell out of it.

Re: Yes, You Can Transfer DSiWare to 3DS

Yamishi

I would imagine that you have to connect the DSi to the 3DS to transfer games. I bet there'll be a firmware upgrade to the DSi that allows it to send game data to another machine, and wipes the download rights from yours. If that's the case, it's possible that we could get ALL of our DSiWare off of ALL of our DSi/XLs onto one 3DS.

As others have said, the limitations are probably on things that couldn't be backed up to begin with.

Re: Review: myNotebook: Carbon, Pearl and Tan (DSiWare)

Yamishi

500 points is a steal for a notebook that is digital, backlit, infinitely reusable, and fits in your pocket, along with other games and applications.

I've been using myNotebook to plan out short films for months, now, and the upgrade to Carbon was a no-brainer.

Also, as has already been mentioned, Facebook does have the ability to rotate images, without the PC middleman.

Re: Take Note, myNotebook Carbon is Released on Monday

Yamishi

I'm stoked for these notebooks, as always.

Nic, if you guys decide that myNotebook is going to be continued in the future, you should design some sort of handwriting-to-text recognition that can be customized (no Nintendo software can recognize my B's!)

Okay, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but I still think it would be cool. An on-screen keyboard would also be helpful (for drawing comic books, for example!) 'cause I have difficulty writing small.

Then wrap it up with a feature to send pages wirelessly through WiFi! Then I could illustrate my own comic books, put my dialogue in text, and send it to other myNotebook users!

Yeah, definitely getting ahead of myself...

Re: myNotebook Carbon, Tan, and Pearl Trailer Released

Yamishi

Don't listen to the negative Nellies, Mr. Watt. I'm getting (at least) one of these for sure. As an avid writer, I'm always scouring for a piece of paper, and always using up all the space in my myNotebooks.

I'll probably start off with Carbon!

Keep up the good work at Nnooo, and make sure to bring us more applications like this! I love 'em!

Re: Flipnote Studio available for download in North America NOW!

Yamishi

Yeah, I don't know what the Hell I was thinking, either.

Re: Flipper: New Screenshots and Artwork Showcase New Art Style

Yamishi

I gave this game a passing glance; I wasn't expecting anything, though the art style caught my eye.

After reading this comment section, I must say, I'll be picking this up the moment it's available to me. In addition to the cool-sounding gameplay, 200 points makes it a no-brainer.

Re: First Video of myNotebook

Yamishi

@apocalypse217 post #1:
I bet your notebook also has a backlight and can be reset when you're done writing to play games, take pictures, browse the internet, et cetera. So I suppose you, with your awesome notebook, wouldn't need this app.

@Nnooo:
The video convinced me. I'm down for all three myNotebooks when they hit DSiWare!

Re: Upload Your DSi Photos Directly to Facebook

@warioswoods

I most certainly agree with your desire to see piracy fail, but some of these flashcards have updatable kernels or something to that effect, which makes a kernel update the only thing needed to unblock them.

Re: Pop Creator Bringing New Apps to DSiWare

Yamishi

@Stuffgamer1 - Assuming I'm still getting this correct (write on righty-page, flip, write on lefty-page, flip, repeat) you could still hold the DSi with the touch screen on the left, it would just make the writing on alternate pages upside-down.

Edit: After looking at your pictures, Stuffgamer1, I understand your predicament. I hold my styli the same way, but I hover, so it wouldn't smudge the screen.

Re: Pop Creator Bringing New Apps to DSiWare

Yamishi

@Stuffgamer1 - I think you might be confused. Obviously, no matter which hand you write with, the writable pages will always be on the touch screen. I think he just meant that the first page would be a "right-hand" page by default.

Re: Pop Creator Bringing New Apps to DSiWare

Yamishi

@Nnooo As far as Premium myNotebook would go, allow me to use a popular quote: "If you build it, they will come."
Seriously, though, I would love additional features in the future, even if it means buying a new set of myNotebooks to access them. As an amatuer-writer coughworkinginretailcough I'll scoop up any chance I get to write, save, and edit on my DSi. It'll sure beat the Hell out of having to carry a notebook and pen everywhere!

I would like to personally thank you, Nic, for making an app for the DSi that is not entirely useless. Keep up the good work!

Edited, because I apparently missed the name earlier.

Re: Pop Creator Bringing New Apps to DSiWare

Yamishi

@Nnooo - I think it's awesome that you're in here, chatting it up with us.

Let's say that myNotebook sells well enough. Would there be any possibility of updates to it in the future, or, say, a "Premium myNotebook" that would have additional features (more pages, ability to transfer things you've written to friends, convert handwriting to text, maybe even a save-to-SD-card-in-common-file-format option)?

I plan to get all three myNotebooks, and I personally hope for more notebook-style apps in the future. As of reading about myNotebook, I am officially a die-hard Nnooo fan. 8)
