The Nintendo 3Ds


I'm not sure about the d-pad being in the corner like that, but I guess they thought it through and it feels ok.

Well, it's a helluva lot better than what most of the experts envisioned...which was the d-pad above the analogue slide-pad (like the psp).

I wonder what lefties think about all this?


Oh! And more games on via Nintendo show floor/E3 show floor.

I'm gonna get it just to watch 3D movies
IDK how many releases it'll have though. I really hope this thing has some method of placing movies on SD cards or something...

Goddamnit, now I need to get another handheld this (?) year :p

Pros over Pandora:
- Looks sexier, less geeky (THIS combined with the promo will be the reason everyone will love it and the pandora stays niche)
- 3D camera -> 3D photos (but do we really need this?...)
- 3D movies... on tiny screens. Is that really worth it? But surely a somewhat fun experience.
- Titles are probably graphically better than PSX & N64 -> better looking games than on pandora
- Can't emulate 3DS games on pandora, but you can emulate pandora's emulators' games sooner or later on the 3DS...

Cons:
- No UMPC, no openness.
- Worse controls (although still good enough)
- No big game library at start, i.e. no existing PSX, n64 emus :p at least not right on.... let's see how long it takes to get this cracked
- Smaller screen (face it, you're only looking at one at a time)



But seeing as this will get extremely high quality games, ie paper mario, MGS, pokemon and what not it means sooner or later i won't come around of this :p
3DS will be for that Hollywood experience (game- & moviewise). My Pandora will be my UMPC and retro emulation machine. I'll have use for both of them.
 
it looks like the top half and the bottom half were developed by different teams, neither of which knew what the others were doing. the bottom half is gorgeous, but coupled with the top half it looks ridiculous. it's partly because the screen sizes don't match but also because of the stupidly big frame around the upper screen. it just looks wrong.

i'll buy one once it's hacked i guess. it'll be a bit cheaper by then too, i'm expecting a £240 price tag on this thing at least.

edit: gbatemp says the screen res of the 3d is 800x240. take it with a pinch of salt.

Looks like the screenshots for MGS and Res evil may be renders. Either that or the visuals are close to PS3/360 :unsure:
 
I don't give a crap about the 3D, but new first party Nintendo games are usually a win for me. Very excited to see a new Star Fox and Kid Icarus, among others.
 
I don't think those are renders
also the screen is 800x240 which rivals the pandora's 800x480
 
Super Street Fighter IV looks fantastic too!

I think that Starfox is just a slightly higher def version of Starfox 64 with 3D thrown in for good measure. Come to think of it, that sounds bloody awesome :D
