they didn't say that. here's what was reported:abstract alien said:One of the things I've been wondering about has to do with the comment capcom(?) made about motion blur. Maybe special effects in general, but Ill just use the motion blur example to ask.
Them saying that it doesn't look good in 3D and would be reserved for 2D made me wonder...are they talking about actually having effects that can be scaled according to the 3D slider? Is it really feasible to do something like that, where the less intensive you set the 3D, the more apparent the motion blur works?

Cool stuff man, but heck, even the DSi launched at $150.000 here. Thank god my good man Raichu here is taking care of business on his end.ElFly said:I lack the cool little flag, but I am chilean, yeah.
e: wait, the XL was at $150,000. Mmmm, I am going to say $170,000 in specialist stores.

charlequin said:Well, I've said before in many threads about this, it's not impossible at all for mobile devices to replace dedicated gaming handhelds; it's just that they need to actually replace them rather than offer a limited, inexpensive gaming experience as a value-add, and therefore either the mobile devices that do this will change to become much more like gaming handhelds in the process or gaming handhelds will stay the same but simply incorporate phone technology.
There are really a variety of things that could contribute to this. If battery tech stays flat but display, processing, etc. technology keeps advancing, we might reach a point where there's no real reason to make phones as expensive as they are anymore and the tech curve between older and newer phones flattens. If mobile tech gets way cheaper, we might instead see every gaming handheld include built-in mobile internet and be hotswappable into being a real phone.
charlequin said:I even said upthread (well, at least I think I said!) that what people should be looking at is whether a device like the iPod Touch can challenge handhelds.
charlequin said:I think it'd be far easier for someone else (not Apple, their philosophy on games is too different) to encroach on, and maybe even "destroy," gaming handhelds with a device like this -- it's just that the resulting device would really be something like "a gaming handheld slash media player," the same way that right now an iPod Touch is a portable internet device but it's also 100% as good as a "regular" iPod at being a music player.

Anth0ny said:My official price prediction: $249.99
I don't care what anyone says. I know Nintendo always shocks the world with their omgwtf inexpensive consoles and handhelds, but let's consider how young the technology is. Is $250 really that unreasonable for a portable 3D console? That you don't even need 3D glasses for?
I'd happily pay $250 for 3DS, day one. Hell, I'd pay more.
But man, if Ninty somehow puts this out sub $200...

As far as I know, Google won't give access to store to non phone devices... The Odroid has good power, I almost bought one, but the 2 hours of stated battery life, the limited controls and no access to store killed the deal for meFlying_Phoenix said:I'm just shocked it's taken so long to get an iPod Touch equivalent for Android. The first clear cut, non-gimped Android non-phone device is coming in a few months. Than again there still is no true Android tablet out that isn't tied and subsidized through a wireless company.

Spike said:I cannot understand how some of you can be thinking $250 for the price. Why did they lower the prices of the DSi and XL, then? If it was going to be sold for $230-$250, then the prices of those systems would have stayed the same.
There is absolutely no way that they will have the price of the DSi at $150 and then have it's sequel at $70 to $100 more. XL is just a specialized DSi, so it really shouldn't be factored in, but even then, they dropped the price on that one too.

Virtual Boy, $180 at launch. It cost way more than the system before or after it because it was 3D, and far more powerful than the previous generation device.OrangeGrayBlue said:While there's obviously an upward trend, mostly due to inflation, Nintendo has NEVER launched a handheld above $170 (excluding DSiXL, but that's an outlier for obvious reasons) and has never launched a first-model handheld for over $150.
No, because they are trying to continue selling DSi's and XL's while marketing a future new system; to do so, they needed to make the current systems more attractive, which they did by lowering their prices. If they were making room for the 3DS price as you are suggesting, they would have waited until just before the 3DS launch, if not at launch, not done it so far in advance.Spike said:Why did they lower the prices of the DSi and XL, then?

Then why does Kid Icarus look so damn shitty?"Numerous developers working on software for the platform have likened its graphical capabilities to current-generation consoles like the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, albeit on smaller, lower-resolution screens."

Because this is new hardware for Nintendo. All the Nintendo games looked pretty eh. Except Paper Mario .Socreges said:Then why does Kid Icarus look so damn shitty?
Because Nintendo has yet to figure out how to use the systems shaders. Just look at RER, MGS3 and DoAD if you want a better idea of what the system should be capable of.Socreges said:Then why does Kid Icarus look so damn shitty?
