    I don't want 3D effects on a portable device, I can't see it working well while you are sat on the train/bus/etc bouncing around.

    But then again, I don't want to touch any DS hardware anymore. It could fellate me while singing the Macarena and making me a coffee at the same time. They lost my vote long ago.

    don't get too carried away girls, it's just a project name. The actual product naming might differ.

    Does Nintendo remember the Virtual Boy? Cuz I do. They don't "do" 3d.

    All I know is that i'm prepared to be blown away by another brilliant
    handheld constructed by Nintendo. Plus i'm crazy about 3-D -especially after Avatar :drool: Nintendo had 15 years to research the ill-fated Virtual Boy. I think they're ready to do it right this time. Nintendo 3DS will be all about in-depth-of-field gaming :clap: Can't wait for E3 2010 !

    I'll say they're going for big screens with a thin bezel (barely enough for the buttons) with the lower one having both capacitive multitouch and haptic feedback. Using both screens at the time would require touch controls, which sucks and nintendo knows better than that.

    About the Tegra it's probably the 250 with a few tweaks, but considering it's a Cortex A9 core plus GPU it would be cheaper for nintendo to license the core directly from ARM and the GPU from PowerVR like apple does.

    Better start talking!:nod:

    Read: MAY, as in: "my editor is going to cut my balls if I dont come with some news filler, so I think the 3DS will have some of that 3D thingy like my nephew's monitor does"

    And those 3D monitors suck donkey balls...

    1. They should have named it 2DS and made it completely 2D and sprite-based. It'd probably be an upgrade to the current DS' lovely 3D graphics which I think only worked for Mario Kart.

    2. I think Nintendo (and for that matter, Sony and MS for their upcoming products) is plotting against me. They all want to make me move more when I play games. I just want to sit motionless until I fall into another damn pit of lava or lose Baby Mario on my back to another shyguy, at which point I kick and scream and start drinking more.


    Also remember, there's a difference between the 3D effect perceived through head-tracking, which is based on movement of the image (and the spacial/perspective changes within the image) (so if your head and the screen were both perfectly still it would look like any other game), and true 3D which is actually acting on your eyes in a stereo manner.

    Parallax barrier...?
    I've never experienced one of these before, however I wonder if it will make regular games all screwy... I'm talking viewing-angle and other stuff. I need to read-up some more, but I was under the impression that one would need to be in a specific spot to get the effect. I wonder how sensitive this position is.

    Note that the video that Kotaku links to of the DSiware title is what I'd definitey assume is head-tracking. I also don't think parallax barrier 3D and head-tracking would work well together. Would they have both horizontal and vertical 3D ability, in order to still have the 90-degree-flipped games?


    Haha, come on. There were like, what? 4? Maybe 5 games for the 32x?
    A couple have to be good, but they can't all be zingers.

    True. But I like it, mainly considering the last console name they came up with. Have we all gotten over the Wii by now? I just thought about it long and hard and realized it's still as dumb of a name as I thought when it was first announced.

    Wait a second. Sure, he's blocking a double-score on black, but red already won... he has a 4-in-a-row above the black. So, he's going to win again?

    It needs Gamecube or higher quality graphics to appeal me this time.

    Don't like nintendo handheld hardware since the 1st DS. DS lite was surfing on the Ipod trend (design speaking) and DSi... Can somebody tell me what games actually use the camera ??

    i know a nintendo fan who lost eyesight in one eye in Iraq. :-\ He is hoping he's not going to miss out on any games because he can't view 3D

    So since it will run regular DS/i games too, it sounds like all games made for this don't have to be 3D? That's good.
