Woah, holy fucknuts. Cannot wait for E3 to see this now.

http://www.destructoid.com/nintendo-announces-the-3ds-portable-gaming-in-3d-168626.phtml

Nintendo of Japan has just announced their next handheld unit, tentatively named the "Nintendo 3DS." The portable platform will offer 3D gaming without the need for 3D glasses, and will be backwards compatible with DS and DSi games. The "Nintendo 3DS" is the successor to the Nintendo DS series and will be on display at this year's E3. We can expect the "Nintendo 3DS" to launch in Japan by the end of the fiscal year, so anywhere between now and March 2011.

3D is the next major step in gaming, but the only thing that's really holding it back is the need for 3D glasses. Nintendo seems to have gotten around that peripheral limitation with their new portable and it will be interesting to see just how Nintendo pulls this off at E3.

"lol"

Anyway I read into it and this is the new DS we heard rumors about. It will have a boost in graphical power (I'm guessing somewhere between N64 and GCN power), and the motion sensing is in.

Getting excited for E3 2010.

I dunno, while the N has been on a decent streak regarding hardware, lets remember the last '3d' system they released. But then again, it seems they are getting most of their success off gimmicks lately.

EDIT: And to seriously respond to your question Kalyx, i remember as a kid seeing that game where you were a cowboy in arcades that looked holographic....i think thats the closest i have ever seen to 3d w/o glasses.

I seen some TV prototypes at CES about 3 years ago where you had to sit direct centre to see the projected image. Not sure if they've moved on in 3 years, but it might be like a Gameboy, having to get the perfect position for the light.

Same here.

I'm glad to see Nintendo confirmed the next DS. Maybe the rumours I posted earlier this month are true after all. The important bit of my threads post:

RPAD spent the entire Game Developers Conference trying to dig up information on Nintendo's successor to the wildly-successful DS handheld. His findings? Of interest.

According to several third-party developers writer Raymond Padilla spoke with, the next Nintendo handheld sounds a lot like the current Nintendo handheld, only with better screens and better performance. Just like we asked for.

The key findings were:

- That the handheld's two screens - yes, it's going dual-screen again - are not only bigger, but the "gap between the two screens is negligible", meaning they can serve as either two separate screens or as a a single large display.

- It's got an accelerometer in it.

- It's expected, based on the handheld's dev kit, to have performance similar to a GameCube. Meaning it has similar performance to a Wii. Handheld Mario Galaxy and Wind Waker? Yes please.

- Many of the developers said their games would be finished towards the end of the year, suggesting a late 2010 release.

And that suggests a reveal of the console at this year's E3 Expo in Los Angeles. It's important to note at this stage that these are all unconfirmed rumours, but then, they do sound awfully sensible, don't they?

My source (http://kotaku.com/5493233/rumor-ds-successor-has-nifty-screen-gamecube-power).

Original source (http://rpad.tv/2010/03/12/nintendo-ds2-information-unearthed-at-gdc-2010/).

A 3D, duel-screen, touch-screen, accelormeter enabled, GameCube performance level hand held sounds amazing.
The idea of 3D without glasses makes me think of some kind of hologram but I doubt we are that advanced at a affordable price, if at all.

Don't forget about this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw

That gets 3D with a movement illusion. With an accelormeter you could probably get a similar effect.

The other theory is that each screen has 2 screens, one for the left eye and one for the right eye which can produce a simlar 3D effect to the glasses in movies.

Not every game will have to take advantage of it anyway, if it's DS compatible then 2D games will have to be possible too.

There have been improvements in 3D images. I don't know what the field of vision is, but at least it won't be as static as that.

Unless they use date technology, but Nintendo wouldn't do that....

Just saw this on Kotaku. There was a DSi game released only in Japan. It used the camera to make it seem like the game was in 3D. If the 3DS is able to play DSi game, it'll have at a camera to.

Here is the game:

It sounds a bit bizzare though that the "several" developers that the report talked about never mentioned the 3D element so I'm not sure how much truth there are in the original rumors from CES... Either that or Nintendo have decided to add it after the initial dev kits went out when they found an affordable solution.

Depends on how they do it. If they do the rumored overlapped screens, it will be a much better effect than simply camera tracking.

And it's a whole new system. I would have jumped at a more powerful DS anyway, without any 3D gimmick.

From Joystiq:

As if news of a new handheld device coming from Nintendo in the middle of the night wasn't enough, Engadget today spotted two reports out of Japanese newspapers Asahi and Nikkei detailing the 3DS' known hardware so far. Asahi claims that the handheld's 3D output (remember, sans silly glasses) comes via a "parallax barrier LCD" from Sharp, while Nikkei backs this up and adds that the device's screens will measure roughly four inches diagonally across (each).

Nikkei also claims the device will feature a "3D control stick," though this could presumably be an analog control stick, as well as rumble support and an upped battery life / speedier Wi-Fi. And while we heard last night that the device would arrive on retail shelves sometime in "Fiscal 2010" (before the end of calendar year March 2011), the report says it will arrive during the "second half of [calendar] 2010," owing the new handheld's reveal to slowing DS sales. In speaking with a representative from Nintendo of America, the New York Times confirmed that we'll get our first hands-on with the 3DS at E3 2010, so we'll get our chance to find out exactly what that hardware contains soon enough.

It's "proper" 3D and not head tracking and an analogue stick. It's the latter I'm more interested in and pray it's not a PSP style nub.

Sony have given us their take.

http://www.destructoid.com/sony-rejects-3ds-says-children-don-t-need-3d-gaming-168779.phtml

Essentially says that 3D with glasses for PS3 is amazing!!! But their research is 8 and 9 year olds don't care for 3D so the 3DS will fail.

Of course, the handheld that has a bigger install base than any of the 3 major consoles (and PSP) is exclusively owned by 8 and 9 year olds.

So, Sharp revealed their handheld 3D touchscreen technology yesterday. Kotaku is talking as if they are the ones behind the 3D technology for the 3DS. Are they? I must have missed it.

The new 3D touchscreen LCD tech is capable of switching between 2D and 3D modes, perfect for backward compatibility with the current Nintendo DS and DSi software libraries. And, perhaps best of all, Sharp's new screen features some impressive specs, boasting a 854 x 480 pixel resolution. Compared to the 256 x 192 pixel resolution of the Nintendo DSi and DSi XL and the 480 x 272 resolution of the PlayStation Portable, we could have a very attractive picture to look forward to.

Full story (http://kotaku.com/5508371/is-this-the-new-nintendo-3ds-touchscreen).

Edit: There is a video of the conference on YouTube but the 3D effect doesn't work on camera, so there isn't really anything worth seeing.

Seeking to allay fears over the possible health problems associated with playing games in 3D, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has said that his company's upcoming 3DS handheld will have a "toggle", allowing users to switch between 2D and 3D.

From a legal standpoint, it's a solid decision. There are many people with conditions that mean playing in 3D is either painful or just doesn't work, so having the option of playing games in 2D gets around this problem easily.

But what does it mean for 3D games? If there's an "off" switch for the technology, does that mean the games won't make fundamental use of it, since they'll need to be designed to run in both 2D and 3D? That'd reduce the tech to a mere gimmick.

Or will it mean that some games will need to be marked "3D Only", meaning those who can't play in 3D (or don't want to) are straight out of luck?

It's a messy situation to find yourself in. Then again, when it comes to the transition to 3D entertainment, messy seems par for the course.

3DS could be close to "Xbox 360/PS3" graphics.

Since the Game Boy Advance was a Super Nintendo, and the DS was a Nintendo 64, most people expect the upcoming 3DS to have the horsepower of a GameCube. IGN say that may be under-selling the machine somewhat.

The website reports "Several developers that have experienced 3DS in its current form have reported, off the record, that it has processing capabilities that far exceed the Nintendo Wii and bring the device with abilities that are close to HD consoles such as PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360."

Interesting. Sounds like "several developers" may be getting ahead of themselves there, as we seriously doubt the 3DS will be packing such a powerful punch as to even come close to HD home consoles. But that's OK. We don't need it to! A handheld as good-looking as a Wii (or GameCube) would be fine; any better than that, no matter how slight or exaggerated the final results, and it's a bonus.

Source (http://kotaku.com/5556874/rumor-3ds-close-to-360-ps3-graphics).

I can't imagine it being that powerful and, like others have said, GameCube/Wii graphics would be good enough. It would great if it was 360 level graphics, though. Or they could use that power to put more into the game and just settle for GC graphics.

To be fair, Nintendo handhelds are usually slightly more powerful than the home console generation they're closest to. If the 3DS has Gamefube power, but high-resolution screens, the graphics would look close to some 360/PS3 games.

This is going to be quick and hyperbole-filled.

After the Nintendo press conference, Jim Sterling and I made our way to a section at the back of the theater where some lovely ladies were letting us demo the Nintendo 3DS.

The actual games are on the show floor, but they showed us a demo of sorts that shows off the new handheld device's technology. Moving images from famous Nintendo franchises faded in and out, from Mario to Pikmin, Metroid to Zelda.

In a word, the technology was amazing. Actually, amazing doesn't even begin to describe what Jim and I just saw. Even Jim Sterling looked at me and couldn't believe what he was seeing. The hype is correct: 3D. No glasses. The images do not just fall back into the screen as some people thought. They come out at you. IN 3D! WITH NO GLASSES! It is absolutely surreal.

And attention should also be given to the quality of the graphics. They were stunning. I would say Wii-level, at the very least. The images were polished, colorful, and, most importantly, bright. They were popping (literally!) off of the screen.

The show floor opens in a few minutes. I can't wait to try out some of the games on the Nintendo 3DS. You all are not ready. It is truly incredible.

--------------------------------

There isn't anyone who hasn't been completley blown away by it. If Jim Sterling is in shock in a good way, it's doing something to your mind.

Nintendo being so anti "glasses for 3d" was funny, but theres technology out there to do 3d without glasses, which is why all the people buying 3d tvs that need the stupid glasses are idiots. But aside from that, fuck the whole 3d craze in general, and nintendo using it is just a gimmick here the 3ds though at least they souped up the graphics enough so they can go back and quadruple dip on n64 games..ugh.

I wanna predict this will bomb, but not until I see a price point. I find it hard to believe they can go sub $200, but if they can then it will sell. More than $200 and it'll be no better than the PSP and they can go to work on a proper new handheld without the lame 3d gimmick.

All Nintendo is doing apparently with the 3ds is putting some sort of polarizing filter in front of the screen that acts like a set of 3d glasses. This works on a handheld because you won't be viewing at far distances and odd angles, but it doesn't work well on a large tv viewed far away.

Im pretty sure everyones aware of my hatred towards 3d since within a couple years I'll be blind in one eye and incapable of seeing 3d, just about the time they get it cheap and done right.

But still, right now..3d is a lame gimmick, used to jack up ticket prices to lame retarded movies. I guarantee that the next iphone/ipod will have similar 3d technology and everyone will jizz their nuts off over that as well...probably even more since Apple fanboys are 10x worse than any other right now.

Meanwhile Nintendo gets to rehash the same games for the eleventy billionth time, this time with 3D effects, gyroscopic controls and "improved graphics" which is kinda sad because these games look just as good as Wii games if not better than some 3rd party crap on the Wii.

Nintendo has to be to the point where I think they cede the home console completely and just keep rehashing DS's every year like Apple does with ipods and iphones instead of making a home console thats gotta last 10 years plus now. They have almost no competition in the portable gaming segment since the PSP is a joke and though you can play games on an iphone, thats pretty much a complete joke having to spend $80 a month to play games, none of which look anything like Nintendo will be offering on the 3ds.

Guys face is incredible. They've got some impressions of stuff shown too.



Our first go at the system was nintendogs + cats, and we were quickly won over by the adorable beagle we adopted. The frisbee seems to pop just slightly off the screen when it's held up by this furry friend, and you can almost feel the dog's paws resting up against the screen.
Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D "The Naked Sample," meanwhile, was very impressive for a camera-control-only hands-on. A pitch-perfect replica of the first jungle level of Metal Gear Solid 3, the demo showed the handheld more than capable of PS2-quality graphics, with enough seamlessly integrated pop-out and depth effects (the foliage) to emulate a window into Snake's little world.
Resident Evil Revelationshad some of the best graphics we've ever seen on a mobile device, though they were only for close-cropped cutscenes of characters -- we doubt they can keep up this sort of fidelity throughout, and the title wasn't playable. Still, a modicum of camera control let us know what we were viewing was live-rendered, and it was impressive indeed.
Kid Icarus wasn't playable, sadly, and graphics were a little blocky, but a brief video didn't completely fail to impress. Of all the 3D environments we saw for Nintendo's new handheld, Pit's rail shooter segments dizzily dodging laser beams showed the most stereoscopic depth.
Space shooter StarFox 3Dwas one editor's favorite, and not just because it was actually playable -- like Metal Gear Solid, the demo brought the original game's first level to life convincingly, but also showed off quite satisfactory physical controls. We flew under arches in StarFox and through hoops in PilotWings with deft little motions of the analog slider, which we found both less touchy and more grippy than Sony's PSP nub. And oh yes, double-taps of the 3DS shoulder buttons had us performing loads of barrel rolls.
Augmented reality: We love augmented reality in theory, and the addition of 3D and a bit of Nintendo-style insanity serves it well. We played one game where we strafed around an item card on the table, which blossomed a 3D monster bent on our destruction. Unfortunately, our intuition to lean around the object kept on taking us out of the 3DS's 3D sweet spot. Another game was much more effective, scanning our face with the front camera, and then pasting that face on flying robotic enemies that we could pan the 3DS around to aim at and attack.
Trailers for movies including Legend of the Guardians and Disney's Tangled showed we've come a long way since the days of sub-25fps MobiClip framerates -- both had plenty of stereoscopic effects and no visible artifacting, and were perfectly watchable in either 2D or 3D modes.
Racing games are a shoe-in for 3D, and Ridge Racer was very comfortable to play, if not too particularly astonishing visually.
Classics collection: Something we wouldn't expect, but a roundup of a few of Nintendo's classic titles (Super Mario Bros., Yoshi's Island were a couple we saw) is actually served pretty will by the 3DS, with those familiar pixelated backgrounds given just a bit of depth. It's unclear if, when or how this would hit market, but we sure hope it does.

More impressions on what Nintendo are showing off:

Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle, originally announced this fall when there was no 3DS, was much better -- and much 3D-i-er -- than you'd expect from a Professor Layton game made for the 3DS. Even though the game still employs the familiar hand-drawn 2D character models, the town map on the bottom screen is now polygonal, and the magnifying glass cursor now zooms in areas of the top screen when you investigate them. It's a nice visual upgrade for the already-pretty Layton franchise. The one puzzle I played, and failed to complete, involved putting a robot together in four parts. The wrinkle was that to assemble it, I had to put the pieces in four boxes, and I had to figure out which box corresponds to which vertical position, and in which orientation. That puzzle wasn't so 3D.

Face Ace was a small demo that started with a photograph of my face (after lining up my eyes and mouth with onscreen lines). It turned that photo into a nightmarish 3D model, dead-eyed and cackling, clad in a weird space helmet. It was up to me to aim a reticle by tilting the DS, and tap to shoot at my own face over and over again.

DJ Hero 3D used the touch screen for the same functions as the DJ Hero controller -- tap to simulate hitting a button, swipe to scratch, and swipe sideways to crossfade. I put it in easy mode for the demo, and that meant that tapping anywhere on the screen activated any color, so it was ... easy. This game had the most noticeable 3D effect of anything on 3DS. The note highway (or whatever you call it) literally seemed to split into two as it hit the bottom of the screen (which means, in 3D terms, that it's flying out directly into your face).

I also played Xevious. It was the classic arcade game, with all the ships and projectiles displaying in 3D. Not really much more to say about that! It is rather interesting that Namco Bandai is experimenting with 3D display for retro games.

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/06/16/preview-the-3ds-lineup/

For some reason, the thought of 2D retro games untouched except for being in 3D excites me. No idea why.

Star Fox 64 3D is one of the few playable titles out of the oodles of announced 3DS projects (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/06/15/heres-the-list-of-every-3ds-game-in-development/) on display at Nintendo's E3 booth. It's a short demo of the classic N64 game's first level, fading out after a few seconds of the boss battle.

The 3DS version of Star Fox 64 is instantly familiar to players of the original. The demo opens as you cruise over a short stretch of ocean (a shortened version of the original level's intro), soaring through a ravine into "Corneria City." The place is an obstacle course, the vision of some insane architect, and I crashed and collided with the archways and tumbling towers my first time through, as my eyes drifted down to the touch screen, which displayed the control layout.

The Arwing craft is controlled using the analog nub and additional maneuvers are mapped to the D-pad. Lasers, bombs, accelerate and brake are executed with the face buttons, and the bumpers, used to bank and barrel roll, round out the simple controls.

Returning to the top screen, I found that the 3D effect really complimented the "course" in the level, drawing out the tunnel-like pathways through Corneria. With the system held steady and my head locked in place (any shift in viewing angle distorts the 3D image), the graphics were incredibly crisp, even with the 3D slider pushed to full. The ever scrolling gameplay (except when in arena-shaped boss battle stages) lends itself well to the deepening effect of Nintendo's new tech. This is Star Fox 64 -- a lasting classic -- in legitimate 3D.

While Nintendo hasn't uttered a word on the subject yet, Japanese financial paper Nikkei reports (via Andriasang) that the 3DS will allow you to install your software to the handheld's internal memory.

For those who aren't familiar with how this works, basically, you select your installed games from the main menu and can then play without needing the original cartridges. Now when I say "your installed games," I mean the 3DS games you purchased and didn't download from the Internet. Right.

We don't know how much internal memory the device will have, but this is still incredible news regardless.

Nintendo is 3 years behind on mobile glassless 3d gaming (http://www.technologyreview.com/communications/25081/?a=f)


The Samsung B710 phone looks like a typical smart phone, but something unexpected happens when the screen is moved from a vertical to a horizontal orientation: the image jumps from 2-D to 3-D. The technology that produces this perception of depth is the work of Julien Flack, CTO of Dynamic Digital Depth, who has spent more than a decade perfecting software that can convert 2-D content to 3-D in real time. It could help solve the biggest problem with 3-D: the need for special glasses that deliver a separate image to each eye.
Flack's software synthesizes 3-D scenes from existing 2-D video by estimating the depth of objects using various cues; a band of sky at the top of a frame probably belongs in the far background, for example. It then creates pairs of slightly different images that the viewer's brain combines to produce the sensation of depth.
The technology can be used with the much-hyped 3-D televisions announced in January (which require glasses), but its biggest impact will be as a way to create content for mobile devices with auto*stereoscopic 3-D displays, which work by directing light to deliver different versions of an image directly to each of a viewer's eyes. The effect works best over a narrow range of viewing angles, so it is ill suited to television or cinema screens. But phones are generally used by one person at a time and are easily held at the optimum angle. That's why mobile multimedia devices are likely to win the race to bring 3-D into the mainstream.
Powered by Flack's software, Dynamic Digital Depth has become an early leader in mobile 3-D. The software was built into the B710, which Samsung released in South Korea in 2007, and Samsung has licensed 3-D content generated by Dynamic Digital Depth for its latest 3-D phone, the W960, released in March. Research firm DisplaySearch recently predicted that by 2018 there will be 71 million such devices worldwide.

I am more excited for the 3DS than any other gaming console ever. Do you know how I know this? Because I care about what the god damn cartridge is going to look like. Really, why should I give two sh*ts? I shouldn't, but I do, and for some strange reason I think some other people do as well.

We already knew that the 3DS would be able to play the DS's games and thus use its cartridges so the differences couldn't be too major, but there are some. It has a tab on it for starters. What could that tab do? It's probably where they keep the secret 3D magic. If only we could harness the power of that tab we'd be in business, people! Sadly, the magic tab is a secret that Nintendo will keep to itself, I'm sure.

A not so noticeable change in the cartridge is the fact that the size has been bumped up to 2GB. That's going to allow for a lot prettier and bigger games, as I think we've already seen demonstrated. Then again, with all the talk on downloads and non-stop connectivity who knows if we're even going to be using cartridges? Oh, wait. They already tried that.

Earlier today, Japanese technology firm Digital Media Professionals sent out a press release confirming that they are the providers of the graphics chip for the new Nintendo 3DS.

This chip is called the PICA200, an older GPU (it's from 2006!) that DMP says provides "high quality graphics" with "low power consumption". Handy for a handheld, that! Because it's older, it's also presumably cheaper than something more cutting edge, and we all know Nintendo likes to keep production costs at a minimum (as the company sells hardware for a profit).

To give you a rough idea of the PICA200's power, here's an old tech demo dating back to the GPU's release. Being a tech demo, you have to take it with a grain of salt, but even four years old and covered in salt it looks a whole lot better than a DS.

So the 3DS does a lot of stuff. It looks like it could also do videochat...in 3D.

The 3DS can play 3DS games, DS games, it can play 3D movies. What else can it do? How about video chat. In 3D.

In an interview with Forbes magazine, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said "Technologically speaking, a variety of different things are possible with the 3DS, for example, 3-D video chat."

Interesting. It'd make for a nice tech demo, but since this is Nintendo (and also because 3D cameras aren't exactly common), it's likely you'd only be able to use it to communicate with other 3DS owners, reducing its usefulness.

Besides, they say the camera adds ten pounds in two dimensions. The third dimension may not be worth the self-loathing.

According to "developers working on the system", games running on the Nintendo 3DS can look (and perform) even better than those we've seen on one condition: they lose the 3D.

That's what a report on IGN says, as developers "could theoretically use the extra processing power for additional texture passes and more complex object and environment geometry, or even up a framerate from 30 frames per second to 60".

To be honest, I hadn't even considered that. But they're right: it takes processing power to render the images in 3D, since they're essentially creating the same image twice (one for each eye), so freeing that up should indeed result in better-looking games with more stuff on-screen.

Whether a developer or publisher would risk bypassing the system's main selling point is up for debate, but surely somebody is willing to take a chance considering the potential benefits. I know I'd trade 3D in a lot of games for smoother performance and better graphics.

Source (http://kotaku.com/5578822/3ds-games-will-look-better-if-they-ditch-the-3d).

So if a dev doesn't bother with 3D, we'll get a bigger and/or prettier game. Sounds like good trade off to me.

Give it a year and a half after launch. Non-3D titles from the bigger/well known developers will come out (basically after the 3D loses its newness) and people will rejoice.

I'm sure there will be a bunch of budget titles and stuff from lesser devs which won't bother with 3D from the outset, but will be largely ignored.

I think the opposite is going to occur since developers know they need to take advantage of the "3D" to out-produce a Nintendo-caliber game since everyone knows Nintendo will use the "3D" in their launch window games at least.

Traditionally Nintendo handhelds are more forgiving in sales to non-Nintendo games than Nintendo consoles so it won't take long to keep developers on the 3DS and not jump away like they did with the PSP.

In a recent interview with CVG, Ian Curran, THQ's executive VP of global publishing, touted his favorite new feature the 3DS will bring to the portable market. No, not its titular three-dimensional display tech. No, not all of those rebooted classic franchises. "What excites me even more," Curran explained, "is that there's technology built in that device to really combat piracy."

Curran added, "they combated the piracy on DSi, which they don't believe is cracked yet - but they know they've been hurt across the world and they believe the 3DS has got technology that can stop that." That's a nice sentiment, but considering how resourceful the modding community has proven itself over the years, we're pretty sure the only thing that could stop them from pirating 3DS games is some sort of self-destruct mechanism. We sincerely doubt Nintendo could get something like that past the FCC.

Shall we break it to Nintendo that the DSi has been cracked?

The only reason the PS3 isn't cracked is due to a powerful hypervisor system. There is no way Nintendo has one on a handheld. They're pretty big and need a lot of power due to the CPU constantly having to tell the hypervisor that it's fine to run that chunk of code.

Bluray discs themselves play a huge part since its still expensive compared to CDs and DVDs to buy discs needed to burn the games.

Website Electricpig asked Nintendo's marketing manager James Honeywell about the Nintendo 3DS pricing to which Honeywell replied:

"Price, we haven't made any kind of announcement at the moment, but for everyone who already knows, you know, the Nintendo DSi is available for around £129.99. The Nintendo DSi XL, with the larger screens, is around £159.99. So obviously, it's going to fit, kind of, somewhere within that kind of architecture."

Nintendo's next handheld game machine, the Nintendo 3DS, will be significantly more powerful, thanks to hardware specs that represent a vast improvement over the Nintendo DS and its more powerful successor, the Nintendo DSi.

IGN, citing "persons familiar with the hardware who spoke to us under the condition of anonymity," report that the 3DS will come stuffed with the following electronic guts.

CPU: 2 x 266MHz ARM11
GPU: PICA200 133MHz GPU by DMP
RAM: 64MB
Video RAM: 4MB
Storage: 1.5GB Flash-based

The original Nintendo DS featured a pair of ARM processors running at 67 MHz and 33 MHz and a comparatively paltry 4 MB RAM. The Nintendo DSi had double the CPU clock speed and quadrupled the system's RAM, plus added 256 MB of flash-based storage.

We've reached out to Nintendo seeking comment on the matter. The company is not typically open about the nitty gritty hardware aspects of its video game hardware and has not yet responded to requests for comment.

Mega Man Legend 3

SOLD!

I was getting the 3DS anyway but, still, I've wanted MML3 for so long.

Liking the sound of the Gameboy VC and the classics in 3D.

I've read somewhere they may be remaking Yoshi's Island in 3D. I hope so because the final boss would be amazing in 3D.

I'm predicting the UK will get the 3DS in time for Christmas at a price between £190 - £250.

Yeah, handhelds have come a long way and it's really a home console in your hands, so you can probably expect it to cost $200 - $250.

PSP was stupid expensive and you saw how that turned out (other factors, but you know wht I mean), so I doubt they're go that route.

I'd call $200 reasonable. I'm actually happy to drop $200 on this, but not on a Wii.

Emperor Smeat
09-29-2010, 03:31 PM
It won't match the $300 price Japan is getting for launch since Nintendo always puts the US price about $40-$60 less.

It shouldn't be no more than $200 to $250 with maybe $225 as the actual price based on a lot of predictions.

The Wii was $300 in Japan when it got released and then $50 cheaper in the US while the US got a game as well. The DS XL or DSi was about $40 less in the US.

Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright crossover

The game will apparently take place in a otherworldly town where magic is real, and Phoenix has to defend his client in a witch trial. This crazy town it run by someone named the Storyteller. Anything he writer, becomes reality. I think I'm going into diabetic shock. It all sounds too sweet.


For a 2D animation junky like myself, the best part might be seeing Phoenix and Maya depicted in Professor Layton's breathtaking animation style. They still look like the characters I know and love, but now they move as smoothly as Layton does in his cutscenes. Can't wait to see more!

Nintendo has contracted the production of its Nintendo 3DS cartridges to Taiwan-based solid-state maker Macronix. And apparently, those cartridges offer enormous memory space.

According to Taiwanese-site Gamrade, the 3DS cartridge is able to hold up to 8GB, but it's rumored Nintendo will be enforcing some kind of 2GB limit on 3DS games (details are few and far between in the report), with 1GB the supposed very least required. So don't hold your breath for 8GB Nintendo 3DS games any time soon; however, that may change over the course of the console's life.

Still, this shows just how much of an improvement the 3DS is considering the biggest cartridges for the Nintendo DS are only 512MB.

Remember that this is unconfirmed, and Kotaku is following up with Nintendo. This post will be updated should the company comment.

You'll Get 3-8 Hours Out Of A Nintendo 3DS Battery
As part of its big Nintendo World event being held in Tokyo at the moment, Nintendo has released a chart outlining the final hardware specifications for the 3DS. Most importantly, that includes details on the handheld's battery life.

It takes 3.5 hours for a 3DS battery to fully charge, which is pretty good. As for how fast that battery drains, Nintendo has only provided a select number of figures, all based on the presumption you're using the handheld on a lower screen brightness level.

With the screen's backlighting turned down (but not off), you'll get 3-5 hours of battery life while playing a 3DS game. That number extends to 5-8 hours if you're playing an older DS game on the handheld.

Of course, the more you increase the screen's brightness, the bigger the hit the 3DS' battery life will take. While people will be upset that these numbers seem low for a Nintendo handheld, they're not that far off what you'd expect from a DSi, and considering the 3DS is a much more powerful device, all that extra grunt takes its toll on a battery.

If you're after definitive battery life tests on a unit under all kinds of circumstances, we'll have to wait until people can use one without Nintendo employees standing over their shoulders

Source (http://kotaku.com/5728198/youll-get-3+8-hours-out-of-a-nintendo-3ds-battery).

Just hours before a weekend-long 3DS Nintendo World showcase kicks off in Tokyo, an established Japanese gaming news outlet is reporting details about the system's launch in that country that could signal what we're getting in March in the U.S.

The Japanese site Inside Games puts the price of 3DS games at 5800 Yen, compared to the common 4800 Yen price for regular DS games, according to a translation of the story on website Andriasang.. That would make a 3DS game cost the equivalent of $70 US compared to $58 US for DS games.

Nintendo hasn't revealed game prices in America or Japan, but the Inside Games report signals that software may cost more on the 3DS than on the DS. In the U.S., top DS games often go for about $30-$35.

(In Japan, the 3DS will sell for 25,000 Yen or about $300 US; there's no hardware price confirmed for the U.S. yet.)

Inside Games also reports that the 3DS will launch in Japan with 10 games. Nintendo is showing more than that during their Tokyo event this weekend, a sign that the glasses-free 3D successor to the DS is still getting a lot of support from game creators.

The 3DS is scheduled to launch on February 26 in Japan. It'll be out in America in March, though we don't have an exact date or price (presumably to be revealed at a 3DS press event in New York City on Jan 19).

A spokesperson for Nintendo of America was unable to comment on these details which, it should be clear, were not announced by Nintendo in Japan.

Nintendo's 3DS event in Japan — Nintendo World 2011 — kicks off in just a few hours. We'll be keeping an eye on it and letting you know the latest about the games and news coming out of it.

Source (http://kotaku.com/5727989/rumor-japanese-nintendo-3ds-games-more-expensive-than-ds-games).

These eight launch titles for the Nintendo 3DS were revealed today at the Nintendo World spectacular. All will be available Feb. 26.

Note these are the Japanese launch titles, and that the US and European lineup will likely differ.

The lineup, and prices (in yen) are:

Nintendogs & Cats ¥4,800

Winning Eleven Soccer 3D ¥5,800

Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition ¥4,800

Samurai Warriors: Chronicle ¥6,090

Puzzle Bobble 3D ¥4,980

Ridge Racer 3D ¥6,090

Battle of the Giants: Dinosaurs 3D ¥5,040

Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle ¥5,980

Roughly speaking, half of these titles (the more expensive ones) are priced around the region of a PSP game in Japan, the other half around that of a regular DS title.

When I lived in a car in 2007 my old DS Lite came in handy, especially plugging it in the car speakers. Will be doing that again.

You lived in a car? Or is that a joke I'm not getting?

2006-2007 was kinda rocky.

Looking at the handheld, I don't see any modern fighter being comfortable to play. Especially not something like blazblue.

Actually, I lied in the street fighter thread. Tekken 5: DR is great on the PSP. Other than that, I do not really enjoy handheld fighters.

Dunno, I found the DS and PSP just as comfortable to play fighting games as using the standard joypad on a console.

Mercs looks horrid but Revelations is boner-worthy.

Not only that, but Capcom are promising a lot more from the game, including more characters than just Jill and Chris.

Merceneries looks like something they should have just stuck on to Revelations as an unlockable extra game, like they usually do with those types of R.E.

Can't embed the vids because I'm on my phone, but Starfox, Mario Kart and Paper Mario look amazing.
