I've got a larger screen, an 8 inch 3D photo frame. The sweet spot remains exactly the same size, but with a bigger screen, there's a larger area in front of it that you expect to be able to see the picture from. It's a lot harder to figure out exactly where the center is to get the effect.Cosmonaut X said:
I had an idea for an AR mode for SSFIV. I wonder if it could work.
Basically you would place two cards perfectly aligned in front of each other to set an axis, a 2D plane for the the fighters. Assuming the system could recognize that, you could even set the size of the "battlefield", relatively to the space between the two cards (each card creating a fighter). It would be awesome to have Ryu and Ken fighting on your dinner table. And watching the fight from the angle you want.

Perfectly possible, but I doubt Capcom will implement it.
That's not true. Those who have no knowledge of the position of the bar also don't know the original DS logo, and will automatically recognize the red "3" in front of the "DS".Willy105 said:
The similarities between the logo is probably the cause why they decided to change the bar positioning.

You forget that the cases are white instead of black this time, so they'll definitely look different when comparing the two to the average consumer.Willy105 said:

All this talk of black and white just made me remember something. Going by the boxart for CERO C and D titles we've seen its possible the black box is being reserved for those mature titles. NCL did this with Wii titles from 2010 I think so it might just be a Japan only thing but who knows. What I'm saying is black may not be dead yet.
As for that master system boxart...if I had an image editor installed currently I would do the Bowser's Inside Story boxart in that style (given the background is already white its the easiest one to do as all you're doing is deleting a logo, replacing it with generic text adding the white line and possibly making the artwork look worse)....
I hope transparency isn't either and we get some real inner cover art not "join Club Nintendo"...for christs sake NOE if you're going to spend money getting that sided printed it would be worth doing more...

I had the same idea about an hypotetical Pokemon 3DS yesterday !

I was thinking about getting that one as well. My old BD&A case for DS with a Zelda logo, the band leaves this black mark on the back of my DSi.

I haven't followed 3ds news at all, I'm really intersted in how old DS games look on the system.
Sharper? Blurrier? Not the optimal way to play them, or an improvement?

They're a tad blurrier, from some accounts I've seen. Nothing major.

I pretty sure that's incorrect (there are plenty of larger Parallax barrier displays being developed) but making the dot pitch smaller does run the risk of making the barrier itself visible causing an ugly pinstripe effect. How much larger the screen can be really depends on how close the 3DS's display is to the dot pitch threshold that makes the barrier visible. The current screen is sitting at a pretty cool 267ppi horizontally, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a fair bit of wiggle room there.Dreamwriter said:
Edit:
Oh so that's what you meant. That doesn't sound like a limitation of the tech, that sounds more like the manufacturer positioned the sweet spot a little too far or close to be intuitive. That can however be adjusted by positioning the barrier closer or further away from the screen.Dreamwriter said:

cvxfreak said:Hah, I already distributed them all to my friends. Because I'm such a kind person.
I might have to hit you up for one someday in the future when there are lots of Japan only games I want for 3DS. I would compensate you some yens.

cvxfreak said:No need for compensation. You'd just have to understand that you can only use FedEx, UPS or DHL to ship outside of Japan because the Japanese Post Office has an irrational fear of shipping things with lithium ion batteries.
Well you are the most awesome person in Japan if you are doing this stuff for free. Now I know someone in Japan who can help me out, whooo. But yeah I wouldn't mind using a courier shipping method. What is it, like $20-$30?

The hype will die for this system surprisingly soon after launch.
It'll tragically always be defined by its gimmick even though many will point out in vain that it's a normal system once the 3D effect is turned off.
People will call it a turning point in Nintendo's history but won't realize that Nintendo paved this road for themselves long before when they ignored the lessons being demonstrated by the smartphone boom.
