Nintendo has been revealing more details about the features Nintendo 3DS will carry with it. Several times we noticed a few icons that were different than the standard menu icons, these are the features we'll be talking about this time.

Zoom

Note:Everybody who checks blogs constantly here noticed i made a blog covering with details the friend list feature, which you can read here so i guess i don't need to cover this feature with too much details this time.

In the first picture we can see 4 icons marked with circles, the first one is the Memo which you of course can skip to the home menu while playing a game for example and leave a note, but there is a detail everybody will appreciate:

Zoom

Oh yeah! You can take SCREENSHOTS of the games! with 2 options, one you take the full top screen image, the other option you take a picture with both top screen and bottom in the same picture, then you can leave a note in the bottom screen! These will be stored in the SD card and you can of course transfer to a computer, sending screenshots by friend messages weren't confirmed but may come in a firmware update we hope!

The 2nd icon is the friend list, you can see what basically your friends are doing if they are online or automatically connected via SpotPass, also if you pass by ANY open access point this list will update automatically as well as update your messages and update Your status, you can block your friends from seeing what are you doing with a similar system to DSiPaint's private mode (maybe to don't get caught playing Love Plus constantly i guess o.^)

The 3rd icon will show a history of the features you get over SpotPass or StreePass, as well as notifying you if you get anything new.

The 4th icon is the internet Browser, available after a firmware update which is to come in May (or launch date, i am not sure, news in internet are divised by the launch date and May, when i get concrete news i will post a new blog covering this.)

Thanks for reading! once again i expect you to read and comment on my upcoming blogs

As mentioned earlier, screenshot will help a whole lot with 3DS Paint. I might not get the 3DS right away because right now, I have most of my money on hold for Pokemon White. I won't get any major income till November. But I will most definantly save up for it! Btw, I'm staying true to my iPod! I haven't used my DSi in about a month. Haha

danka - you can turn it off, so no one can see what you are doing.

dang i sorta think its stalkerish to see what your friends are doing online... i can tell there might be a major hack once the 3ds internet thing comes out.

eddy - It was released a few days ago in Iwata Asks interviews, not "too" old to be posting here...

come on, You guys think i post old news? i take a few days to see if its lefit info, imagine that...If i post wrong/uncertain info and tons of people read it its harder to fix, right?

The 3DS is going to be awesome. I'll definetly buy the 3DS. I'll buy the 3DS for my birthday (which is in May.) I hope the 3DS can play DS games (so I can play my Mario games, CoD: MWM, Pokemon games ((if I can find them)), etc.) I hope I have money by my birthday.

BOOYAAAA. That's wicked cool! But we can't take JUST the bottom screen? Either way, this may help with Flipnote spriting... I mean, take a snapshot of mario, then the snapshot would be in your pictures, wouldn't it? Then just put the photo in a flipnote, and BANG!
