Support NeoGAF

[jaydogg691]

Damn, looks like I might just cancel my XL purchase. 3D without the use of glasses sounds very interesting. Hopefully this means Sony will release a new handheld system too.

 

[Pinaccle]

omg stop that visual illusion shit

My eyes are bleeding :lol

Could this be the technology?

 

[OneEightZero]

Let's be honest. If anything good comes from this, it probably isn't Miyamoto. He'd probably design a sewing game that reminded him of his grandmother or something. But damn that screen would be expensive to replace after you tried threading the stylus through it a couple times.

I think that supports Costanza's theory of one screen being touch and the other being 3D.

 

[Hag]

holy shit, can't wait for E3D and Metroid 3Dread now. lol

 

[Dogenzaka]

Nintendo US has to be pissed at what this is going to do to DSi XL sales. I know I'm not going to get one now, and I was considering before.

I imagine the 3 D effect will be somewhat like a view-master--multiple planes, but no depth to the foreground images.

Nintendo should consider releasing hardware nearly world-wide at the same time.

5 months is funny.

Nintendogs II will cause everyone susceptible to puppy cuteness to never want to play anything else again

 

[Talon]

Oh shit

This is going to flop like Hindenberg. Sorry Nintendo, gamers don't want your gimmicky handhelds.

Joke post?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

With the Sony PSP3D, how else?

 

[Ravidrath]

Updating this a little...

This was floating around GDC as being confirmed by people working on the hardware.

What I've heard is...

1) Two screens, with virtually no seam between them when open
2) Screens are larger and higher resolution, but exact resolution is unknown
3) Powered by nVidia Tegra
4) Roughly as powerful as a Gamecube, and apparently similar to program for
5) Uses carts - believed to be same physical size as DS/DSi carts, only with different guts
6) Due out in 2010 in at least one territory
7) Accelerometer for motion control

Looking forward to seeing it.​

 

[gofreak]

When you're dealing with screens with a relatively fixed viewing angle that are pretty small, it seems to be possible by just having two screens aligned slightly off from each other showing two different images.

What, like the cross-eye technique? :lol

It'll be an autostereoscopic display or displays. There's been enough of them out there, just google around and you'll see stuff from various CES shows. They've shortcomings vs stereoscopic glasses, which is why most of the industry is pressing on with glasses for now, but these shortcomings may not matter nearly as much within the constraints of a handheld system.

 

[Dresden]

Zelda 3D could be interesting. You could look up the Princess's skirt.

 

[Natakuu]

Holy shit. I...don't know what to think:lol I guess I'll wait till E3 when we actually get to see the hardware.

 

[donkey show]

I foresee many japanese games with tits poking out of the smal screen(s).

Pokatit - Gotta Fondle Them All

I think you might have just found the true target audience...

:O

 

[manzo]

E3 actually became interesting.

I'm insanely interested how the no-glasses-3d works.

 

[iceatcs]

Wow amazing!

All I want to see Natal on E3 has just *poof*
Felt bad for MS because all media will fall over 3DS. Luckly for Sony show the name and real demo before E3.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

quick thinking, Kotaku

Nah, must be something else...

 

[Resilient]

I said wow.

 

[PantherLotus]

Nintendogs II will cause everyone susceptible to puppy cuteness to never want to play anything else again

Yeah good point. Disregard my Miyamoto comment.

 

[Spike]

Thank you for saving me $200, Nintendo! I was all ready to buy the DSi XL, then they announce the successor and that it will be backwards compatible. Now I can wait.

 

[Dresden]

I think you might have just found the true target audience...

:O

Perfection. Japanese men will no longer be ronery with their printed pillows.

 

[Medalion]

If a nintendo handheld has this kind of technology, wonder what the new WII or new nintendo console will be like...probably 3D and high def and more?

 

[bistromathics]

10 bucks says it's like:

(view magic-eye style, in case you didn't know)

 

[BorkBork]

One thing that's most likely going to suck is the price. I don't see it selling for anything below $199. I don't like this trend of more and more expensive handhelds.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I can’t imagine that being baked into the price of the console. The Kindle allows it because books are tiny. There are major restrictions in the new SDK for what can be downloaded over the free 3g service.

it wouldn’t work for games.

if it’s included, it’ll be pay as you go, like the iPad.

Iwata said he's absolutely opposed to making customers pay for it, so if it happens at all, it'll be free.

 

[hipgnosis]

Wind Waker 3D is going to be sick!

 

[Pinaccle]

After all,it's hilarious that Move comes to Ps3...

:lol

 

[PantherLotus]

Just for fun, now imagine 3D with motion.




Hey, guys. This thing is able to do 3D because Nintendo can control the screen. They won't be able to control the screen for their next console unless they start selling glasses.

 

[Jackano]

Honnestly, I don't see that coming.

What about the DS historic record? What about the 200M mark? Frakk.
Oh, and day one!

 

[GDGF]

If you can (and I know it's been a while), try to imagine the 3D effect of the virtual boy, but in full color. Beautiful stuff.


Gunpei Yokoi is smiling from heaven.

 

[Koshiro]

7-8 Days? No.

The build-up to the punchline.

 

[Aeris130]

BC means I can finally retire my hinge-cracked ds in favour of a new sleek handheld.

Hyp3d!

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Are you sure Kevin Butler moved from the future? Looks like Iwata and Miyamoto moved first! :lol

 

[souvlakispacestation]

Sounds like a good way to curb piracy & emus, as you surely won't be able to play the games in 3D on a PC monitor.

 

[quetz67]

The technolgy is nothing special and completely different from 3D tech for TVs

 

[IceMarker]

Nintendo will continue to stun me.

E3 FOR 3D(S)

 

[Dogenzaka]

One thing that's most likely going to suck is the price. I don't see it selling for anything below $199. I don't like this trend of more and more expensive handhelds.

I bought a DS at launch so I'm ready I suppose.

 

[Yoboman]

Lol I'm sure if Sony comes out with a PSP3D at E3 it'll have been developed in the two months before E3

 

[Himajin]

OH YOUR GOD.

How the FUCK does it work without glasses??

On of the early quotes from Nintendo mentioned that it will be necessary to have a sensor with the ability to read the movements of people playing. This sounds a lot like the 3D may be implemented through the camera tracking the user's eyes and projecting the correct 3D image that way, rather than a parallax implementation. There was some information about this tech at Cebit:

7) Accelerometer for motion control

Looking forward to seeing it.[/INDENT]

I knew you forgot something baby.

:lol

Ironic thing is that pic was made four years ago. :lol

 

[squinters]

Glad I held off on spending cash to fix my Lite's broken hinge. This new DS sounds awesome.

Glad to hear it's backwards compatible as well.

 

[Dogenzaka]

Lmfao Kotaku changed their photoshopped article image.

If [3d screen]
then [output 3d image]
prompt [user to wear glasses]



This does nothing to stop pirates.

 

[Blablurn]

i wonder if the wii successor will also enter the 3D market. i mean, sony is doing it first this summer. the surprise effect wouldn't be as big as it was with motion controls. another possibilty: they are doing something completely new for the next wii.

 

[Animaniac]

Headtracking most likely?

Hmmm so perhaps only the player can see the 3D effect. Spectators would not see the same thing.

Regardless, day one. Import if necessary.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Hey, didn't that do that with the Sixaxis?

 

[Firestorm]

I cannot wait for Nintendo's naming conventions to start up.

Mario 3D
Waverace 3D
Harvest Moon 3D

 

[LCfiner]

Iwata said he's absolutely opposed to making customers pay for it, so if it happens at all, it'll be free.

then I guess it won’t happen.
