Do you think the other games made you feel like you had to throw up too?
For some reason every time I see something similar to this 3D thing I feel like I have to throw up to, I just hope not all games are like that hope you can give some insight into this issue.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Ok, but what I'm trying to say is that part of 3D is that you can focus on the background or foreground... I'd think an advanced 3D display would work in this capacity.iceatcs said:

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
So do you all still think we'll get it this year in the usual Nov time frame or does this scream say March of 2k11?

Well March 2011 is the current latest time for the launch window as stated by Nintendo. It's anyone's guess of when this would come out.Brettison said:
I wouldn't be shocked in giving the DS one last holiday season before they release the 3DS. If that is the case, a Jan-Mar date isn't out of the question.

I wish we had a couple of screens of a game in a slightly different angle so mr. EARTHQUAKEEEEE can show us some examples of Kid Icarus in 3D
So I've been thinking about why I'm so excited about the 3DS, and I've come to a few conclusions. First of all, I like that this console not only introduces new features, but justifies them on every level. As I get older, I find myself spending more and more time using my portables in the apartment. As such, the need for such a console starts to wane. What the 3DS offers is a compelling reason [in addition to portability] for owning another device in the 3D. And while Sony, Microsoft and third parties have everything to prove when they talk about 3D displays, Nintendo has circumvented this by offering a glasses-free solution that comes at a [presumably] consumer-friendly pricepoint.
More and more I'm thinking that the PSP came ahead of it's time. When the PSP launched, Sony tried to immediately hit the "super generation" of their portable by delivering high capacity and compelling graphics. Unfortunately due to timing and lack of experience this resulted in the well-known weakness of the platform (analog nub comfort and singularity, load times, battery life). In addition, the PSP launched at a time when development was comparable to that of the current consoles, making the argument for producing for the portable a weak one. The content pipeline wasn't there to make it affordable. By the time these problems were rectified (installing to memory stick, digital downloads, PSP revisions, game developers improving) the PSP had already sort of phased out (in North America). Over the last few months we've seen a few games that show off what the PSP promised six years ago; the 3DS is timed to deliver all of this on day one.
I was extremely excited when the PSP was announced because I wanted console experiences on the go. Now I'm excited for the 3DS because it can offer console-quality content packaged in a way that enhances gameplay. Nintendo's timing with this update is impeccable and as sad as I am to see it go, I can't help but feel the PSP is done the day Monster Hunter Portable 3rd is released for the 3DS.

There are already autosterescopic TVs prototypes out there (3DTVs that don't need glasses). There are several problems with them for now:
Limited size
They are not HD, resolution is closer to SD in fact.
Extremely limited viewing angles.
Ridiculous production cost
Auto-3DTVs are probably a decade away from the mass market, 5 years at least. Technology isn't there. For a small, handheld device like the 3DS obviously all of those negatives are moot.

I feel like the 3D implementation of the 3DS is going to spoil my home console experience with all the positive impressions I'm reading.

If it's like the 2006 E3, good luck. In 2006 with the Wii, which had the exact same kind of line, day 2's line got maxxed out within 5 minutes of E3 opening - meaning the people at the end of the line were estimated to get into the Wii area 15 minutes before e3 closed.wwm0nkey said:

3D effects are just generated by showing the eyes two different images, with depth based on how far apart things are in the two images. Any technology that can do 3D display can create both outer and inner depth.
goldenticket said:
All of Atlus' "announced" "games" are really more them just saying that they support the 3DS and will continue their existing franchises onto it. It's not like there's necessarily a real "Etrian Odyssey for 3DS" in development yet.
Mr. Snrub said:
The problem with using this technology on a regular screen is that it has a very narrow viewing window -- fine for a handheld where you're the only one looking at it, not so ideal for a TV multiple people need to look at at once.

I get my new systems the old fashioned way. By waiting outside Wal-Mart till Midnight. That's how I got my Gamecube, GBA, and Wii. I love how they still don't do pre-orders. Their employees would freak out if they had to deal with pre-orders.

I found one thing odd. I watched one movie trailer on the device, How to Train your Dragon,since I had seen the movie in the theater in 3D. But on the 3DS, the 3D was worse. In that trailer, there were many points where it looked like multiple 2D objects in a 3D space. None of the other demos I tried were like that, but it was just strange that the movie would have worse 3D.

So is the "Slide Pad" a regular analog thing like the PSP, or is it a stationary piece that senses thumb movement over it? I'm confused because they don't call it an analog stick.

No, a decade at least. The technology is no where near ready, heck its debatable whether or not there's a single viable glasses free technology in the pipe atm.

Microsoft R&D has a device that can do it, by using cameras to track viewer positions, and prisms to aim the different pictures at each person's eyes.FoneBone said:

This? It only works with two viewers (and since that's four eyes it has to account for right there, including more leads to problems with the resolution) and as I understand it, it's expensive as hell.

So 3D is good?
Jeff from giant bomb saying you have to hold it close and only at a certain angle. Needs adjustment.

Just a quick question in case I missed it, did they announce the release date for the 3ds?

I could be wrong, but I think that's just a limitation of the technology. Isn't it the same way with watching a 3D movie on a TV? You kind of have to adjust your head in some ways.PistolGrip said:
And yes, 3D without glasses and affordable is good.
3D is good at the right angle is what everyone seems to be saying. Some reviewers don't focus on the angle bit, but it does seem to be an issue.PistolGrip said:
Nope. No release date or price. IIRC one of the PR people from Nintendo said it'd most likely be next year, but they didn't know for sure. So we'll just have to wait and see.RobotsAnger said:
