It has 3D graphics. ACTUAL 3D. Like, Avatar or something. And you don't even have to wear any glasses or anything!!

Oh, and it's backwards compatible with DS and DSi games.

The info I've seen comes right off of a PDF on Nintendo's Japanese website.

They're going to officially unveil it at E3.

Everyone wants to get in with Apple, but this doesn't mean it's a bad thing for us really.

that does make a good point but you must think of cost and if this is worth the money or not it might fail epically

I doubt that. Nintendo has a knack for being the cheapest in the business and STILL turning the highest profit.

I don't think it will have as much as the DS. For some reason, I think it would be harder to make a game in 3D than one with just 2 screens (this new one will have 2 screens too, as well as the 2 cameras).
Title: Re: Nintendo Announces the "Nintendo 3DS"
Post by: Tanassy on Mar 24, 2010 04:57 PM
it will support games without 3D, so yeah...

I saw a video of a game using the cameras of the dsi to create a 3d lution

the image isn´t "out" of the screen, it is "inside" the screen

But that's on a DSi. We're talking an entirely new system here.

I know but I was just saying that this could be how they do it or at least the new sistem will have some kind of sistem to give a better xpression of a 3D experience

No!!! It's actually real! I checked Wiki for info and maybe Nintendo's site.
Title: Re: Nintendo Announces the "Nintendo 3DS"
Post by: TheGameNinja on Apr 7, 2010 02:45 PM
This is definitely legit. But, SS12, you shouldn't blindly trust Wikipedia. Anyone can edit it, so speculation is often treated as fact over there. ;)

Anyway, there was a press release on Nintendo's Japanese website. This is real. More info will be be released around/at E3.

Nintendo has harnessed the power of black magic. It explains their huge profits and their increasing lack of a soul.

"Respected Japanese news publication The Nikkei has revealed that Nintendo 3DS owners will be able to take up to ten minutes of 3D video footage and upload them to external sites such as Youtube. Nintendo will reveal more information at its press event which takes place tomorrow."

It's not much, but I think it's a nifty little addition. Bring on the firmware update, oh and that conference! :3

But when you play racing games, don't you find yourself tilting the controller/DS?
I guess this would play to that

Not personally, no.

The gyro controls can be an ass to use because you have to sit straight and generally can't use the 3D.. but on the other hand like I said it's amazingly accurate and not like a gimmick. I'll certainly try it out.
