@Undulation

Can't you already take 3d pictures with a 3ds (don't own one)? If so, you can already do some 3d stop motion...

And then hold right to play?
To have it all dedicated and built into the 3DS, that just sounds great. I hope they have some system to upload these to Youtube 3D.

Well, if we don't get all of these features, it won't be all that surprising. Nintendo of America has had a knack for screwing their customers here lately.

Interested to see what the changes to the eShop are.

Too bad the only detail they gave was "We are making changes to the eShop."

But what of Ambassador status? Can that be transferred to another system?

Yes. If you send in a 3DS for a repair and they have to replace your unit, your Ambassador-ship is transferred unit-to-unit, so presumably this new feature will do the same.

"Find Mii"? I don't have that, but rather a game mode called "Streetpass Quest". Same thing?

Looking at the updated press release, it seems we MAY actually be getting all of the features (well, who knows about the GPS part). That's a pleasant surprise.

@RickGhastly I don't know where they said the 3DS would have a GPS, but I am fairly sure you can't just release an update to make the 3DS GPS capable.

Well I meant GPS in the most generic sense; whatever technology they're utilizing for the Streetpass element that'll map out your encounters. I'll guess it'll harvest wifi info for the locations, but who knows.

how come it took so long to add the recording feature and how come it was not available at launch

Taking a 3D photo requires some processing on the machines behalf. That's simple and isn't too taxing on the CPU.

Now do that 30 times a second.

It has to be heavily optimised. You don't just flip a switch to say "take a picture 30 times a second" and have it cope especially on battery powered, slow CPU devices. (compared to high end Cameron style cameras)

Stop motion animation?!?

@TwEE

Probably some frame removing from a video I imagine... which is not stop motion animation. :/

@TheManEl Nope, it's actual stop-motion capture. Watch the video of the presentation, they show all the new functions added to the camera app.

"The 3DS RPG Find Mii will get a sequel, available only if you've cleared the first iteration."

Neato, I didn't think that would be possible with Nintendo. Glad I beat it a month back now.
Also the pass map thing will be pretty useful. Still can't believe I ran into a Street Fighter fan at Bed, Bath & Beyond. I NEED PROOF.
