Default What new features do you wish Nintendo would add to the 3DS?

I think we can all agree the 3DS is a pretty great handheld right now. It's not quite perfect though. What kind of features do you wish Nintendo would add in through a firmware update? Personally I think it'd be cool if they added a way to gift people games through the friend's list. That'd be pretty awesome. And yeah I know, inb4 system account.

Gifting games would be cool! Also the ability to transfer pedometer coins to friends as well. I have so many useless ones.

More stability.

SNES and GBA virtual console because there's no excuse for why the system doesn't have it.

Being able to make a custom theme would be nice.

I wish the 3DS VC had GBA and DS games. I don't want to play those on the Wii U, it's weird.

Whaaa, turtles. That's such a genius idea. It's so simple too. I wonder why Ninty hasn't implemented it.

I think backtouch can be nifty. Imagine how it'd be like if the 3DS had backtouch.

Seriously though, I'm on board with SNES and GBA VC versions for the 3DS. I think the 3DS is perfect for SNES games, given the same button layout. If the 3DS is powerful enough for remakes of N64 and even Wii games, why not SNES ones?

You don't understand how hard it is to model and render a hat. Think of the financial burden on Nintendo when all those hats go unsold.

You're right. Hat would make nintendo go bankrupt.

Wow, you (Baroque) said inB4 system account, and NO ONE said System Account...

Well I am now formally saying System Account That shouldn't even be something we WANT them to add, it should have been here already

So besides the obvious... I want them to retool Virtual Boy games to play on the 3DS in 3D. I loved a lot of that tiny library, and I think they are worth playing.

Only thing I can really think of that hasn't been said is make the max volume loud enough for me to hear it from more than two feet away, same goes for headphone/ear bud support, everything's too damn quiet!

Hahah. While I do think the Virtual Boy thing is obvious, I don't feel like Nintendo would be willing to put in the effort to make it happen.

Longer battery life would certainly be nice. More cross-playable games with the Wii U would probably be asking a bit much, that's probably better left for the next-gen handheld, although it would be cool to see. Also, maybe some sort of instant messaging/picture messaging. Did we ever get Swapnote back? I have the app but I don't know if Ninty got it up and running again, probs not.

Nah, dawg. Swapnote is dead cuz of pedophiles. I think we're just expected to use Miiverse from now on.

That's a bummer. I haven't used Miiverse much but maybe they could add a feature where you can write public messages and send open images to other users, if they don't already have that. That fact that it's public would hopefully deter people from sending anything inappropriate or personal. They could even hire moderators to ensure safety and prevent abuse.

There is no hope we will ever see this.

They've recently upgraded Miiverse so it might be worth it to check and see what has changed. Info here

Hey, thanks! The Playjournal feature looks pretty neat, I might use that if I ever remember to take nice screenshots while I'm gaming. Still nothing to get overly excited about, though.

Oh Tom, is Miiverse really a fun place for conversation?

Yeah, there are a bunch of obvious things Nintendo should be doing but aren't...

That would be awesome, but would need to upgrade the entire handheld. Which I wouldn't mind. I really hope the next one at LEAST quadruples the pixels of the current 3DS. Hopefully there are manufacturers that make some.
