I don't even like 3D stuff that much, but a 3DS just sounds extremely pointless. |

After reading some more, people think that it will use head tracking for a semi 3D view, so that when you move your head you actually get a different view, which may be interesting, though still a bit pointless. |

i can imagine pheonix wright series using it, havign to look under a book or something and you happen to spot a small code for the vault with evidence in it Maybe shooters will incorperae this into a 'Leaning' technique? other wise yes a little pointless

They said motion controllers were pointless and a gimmick They said analog sticks were pointless They said touch screens were pointless and a gimmick They said force feedback was pointless and a gimmick AM I THE ONLY ONE SEEING A CONNECTION HERE. Don't judge a book by it's cover, once we see how it actually works(and knowing nintendo it WILL work, WELL) then we'll throw words around about this. EDIT: This made me lol Click |

Ogris is right here. We can't say it'll be pointless until we try it. Same with the Wii, I thought it wasn't going to be that good and had a stupid name. Today I think it's not a bad console... although I still think it has a stupid name

I'd like to see you play phoenix wright with a dpad and some buttons. I'll admit, it's useless on phones, BUT on a DS, some games integrate it into a neccesity, which is why it works well, people need to give a chance to their new 3D technology will(WHICH WE DONT KNOW HOW IT WORKS) work. It's really just everyone insta-shunning any form of advancement because it's "not neccesary". EDIT: Also Quote: NOT official but nikkei says
- 3D Stick - vibration pack - tilt sensor under decision - wireless connection speed up - battery life up - smaller than 4" screen |

Supposedly using This as a storage device, 60 gig per square inch or so of storage. Also some rumours of it using a nVidia tegra 2. Does anyone else find it lolable that it will possibly be more powerful than a Wii? |

But then they'll announce the WiiD! The 3D Wii! |

This is a HANDHELD with potentialy more power than a Wii and a storage device that can hold more than blu ray(even though they will probably use a LOT lower quality, but still, it makes blu-ray look LOL), It's not standard fare really Then again, maybe holographic storage even wont be used, but why patent something you wont use anyway? Meh . I guess we'll just wait for E3 and see what it's going to be like.

The DS has more power than the N64... So I wouldnt be overly shocked. |

Link(neogaf)  The maximum core clock is quite impressive, 400mhz is about what, 6800GT level? |

A 6800GT would probably blow this chip out of the water. Anyway, the graphics chip is a low power chip originally made in 2006. It's nothing spectacular, though the power consumption is good, hence why they're using it. It is a decent chip, and probably a little bit better than the Wii chip (seeing as it has to power 3 screens [effectively] at similar resolutions as the Wii outputs [no HD on Wii]). |

| Post subject: | Re: 3D DS? |
It just makes me wonder... Why not use a similar/more powerful chip in the wii in the first place? I doubt power consumption is a major problem in a home console. |

Well most of the decisions Nintendo have made for the DS/Wii hardware and software have made no sense... is the 3D DS compatable with original DS games? Then chances are Nintendo have cocked that one up aswell... |

| Post subject: | Re: 3D DS? |
The Wii is older than that graphics chip. I would imagine that the 3D DS is backward compatible with all DS games, seeing as it's still called the DS. |

| Post subject: | Re: 3D DS? |
It has backwards compatibility yes, probably emulated though(Good old nintendo with their ARM architecture) |

| Post subject: | Re: 3D DS? |
Doesn't really matter if it is emulated, the 3D DS is massively more powerful than the DS, so even with a really complicated emulator it won't struggle. |

| Author: | Si [ Tue Jun 22, 2010 10:23 pm ] |
| Post subject: | Re: 3D DS? |
If it's emulated then they might stand a chance... but then again I still doubt it. |

| Post subject: | Re: 3D DS? |
NINTENDO announced backwards compatibility. You can also read at the holographic drive reader patent which has a big BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY slapped right on it I think we can safely say it will be. |
