Default Time format

Does anyone know why 3DS doesn't have 12 hour format in settings?

It's because they prefer the 24 hour format, just like the army.
They plan to brain wash us, make us super-soldiers, then make us hunt down and destroy every Xbox 360/PS3 fanboy.

But seriously we don't have any secret intel on how Nintendo works, it's just how they do things.

Get used to it, everyone and everything on this planet except a handful of countries use this format. US schools should really teach 24-hour format, that should be basic knowledge in my opinion.

Same here man, same here.

I don't understand why we can't, it would be a lot easier way of telling the time.

I wish..... But I may as well get used to it. While turning my watch back an hour I accidentally switched it to the 24 hour format >.<

I contacted Nintendo and here's the reply I got
Hello,


Thank you for taking the time to write to us with your feedback regarding the military time on the Nintendo 3DS system. We started using the military time since the DS Lite, so I am not quite sure if that will change any time soon. However, I can certainly understand your thoughts on this matter and want you to know how much we appreciate you sending them in. I want to assure you that your comments will be made available for other departments at the company to use as they see fit.


Sincerely,


Dervin Camden
Nintendo of America Inc.

Its just their style
And you cant do anything to change it

When i got my 3ds, i also wanted to change it to 12-hour format but cant seem to find a way to change it. So, were doomed about it! Hahahahaha!

Well, Maybe when the next 3ds update comes out, it could have that feature...
