Quicker than an Xbox 360 (don't hit me!), the 3DS has only been on U.S. store shelves for a few hours, and it is already having system errors. This is coming from numerous reports from all over the internet: Go Nintendo, DigitalSpy, AVForums, and nintendo 3ds blog. Check out what happens to some users mid-game, seemingly without reason:
According to VG24/7, the errors are in connection with multiple titles: Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition, Pilotwings Resort, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, LEGO Stars Wars III: The Clone Wars, Super Monkey Ball 3D, and even some of the Mii applications. It seems to be affecting only the individual titles rather than the actual hardware. However, merely pressing the power button only seems to fix the crash some of the time.
Other gamers have resorted to reformatting their SD cards to FAT-32 format to fix the "recurring" crashes, while still others have had to go so far as returning the system to the retailer. This crash has already garnered the nickname "The Black Screen of Death," but we'll see if it becomes a long-term problem or if it's merely some launch day jitters.
