Pokemon Pinball doesn't have rumble built in... at least not the GBA version.

Pokemon Pinball for the GBC does though. Got it myself.

Looks like we can make our Sim with a Face-mapping-function and the camera that 3DS has.

Or at least that's what I can understand reading only english words :lol

coolio. sounds very tempting.

 

[Boney]

coolio. sounds very tempting.

Maybe.. but with such a huge line up, discretion is advised.

 

[GameplayWhore]

Yeah, but you are reading this thread in the present, not on the 3DS release day.

I am sure there would be a different thread by then.

But the new, higher resolution iPhone exists in the present, too. I don't really understand your response.

[abstract alien]

Such an awesome job with the OP, thanks a ton!

 

[ryan-ts]

OP is great.


BTW 3DS is gonna pwn em all.

I want another Kirby Tilt'n Tumble on this thing.

Things OP should also mention (please add to the OP)

D-Pad Improvement
According to Ono (Street Fighter 4 producer), Nintendo will improve the D-Pad
We just interviewed Ono-san on the 3DS versions. He talked TONS of stuff, such a nice guy!

I'll have more details after reviewing the interview, but for now, he told us there will be a new, easier touch control mode aside from traditional controls, same 35 characters - version will be 'exactly the same' as in HD, and 3D effect is like if you put the characters in a box and you can feel the depth.

Moreover, he presented 'Street Fighter Fit' to Capcom. It was a Wii game, but then he was told about the 3DS. The 3DS D-Pad is not final, still changing and 'coming closer to what the SFIV team prefers'. Oh, SSFIV 3DS will have a 'surprise that can only be done on the 3DS'. He says we'll know more on a month an a half

Possibility of Virtual Console with 3D (not confirmed)
asked Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime what to make of all these old-school remakes. Were they all going to be games on the 3DS? Yes, he said, but he cautioned me not to think of them as remakes

Full reveal of 3DS
price, and date will be confirmed on 29th September, most people assume everything will be revealed, launch line up, interface, stylus, online system and etc.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/3ds-date-cost-unveiled-in-sept

EDIT: I realized I am the 2nd poster so I will add

 

[ILikeFeet]

I just remembered that they haven't shown the telescoping stylus. I wonder why they been hiding it. Could that be the unannounced feature (that stylus patent)?

 

[Gospel]

The following pictures are rated PG-13. Viewer discretion is advised.

More NSFW pictures of my girl here

edit:Oh shit this site is actually kinda nsfw so minimize if you don't want anime tits showing up on the side of your browser.

 

[ILikeFeet]

The only thing that irks me is when closed, it looks like there are three separate layers. They need to unify that shit.

You'll buy the revision.

I want to kiss it in the mouth.

I'll trade in the first gen version for the revision :]

 

[BDGAME]

Anti-aliasing is anti-aliasing. However, particularly in the context of 3DS it probably makes sense

to further distinguish between multisampling (MSAA) and supersampling (SSAA).
I wouldn't classify or list "Transparency effects" at all, since every 3D rendering chip in the last decade has

been capable of that. Do you mean something more specific?

No, sorry. But simplifying a whole platform down to a single number of operations/second is not really possible in

the first place (in any kind of useful fashion), so I'd just remove that whole part. Particularly since we don't

even know such a number for 3DS!

Edit:
Oh, one more thing, nice job on the explanation of different 3D modes, but 3D TVs generally don't use polarization,

they use frame-sequential stereoscopic 3D with shutter glasses.

Ok, I fixed the anti-aliasing description and Remove transparency. Nothing more specific than that, thanks.

The operations per second is really difficult to measure. But that information was give by Sony, Nintendo and MS and, imprecise or not, I will leave it here for now.

FYI, Mario Kart and Paper Mario were not playable at E3. They were non-interactive videos being

rendered in real time. They both looked great though

Excellent thread.

Accordig to the Japanese trademark thread, the tag mode feature may be called CrossPass. No official announcement

of it yet though.

Ok, Fixed. Thanks!

Geometary definitely is processed twice.

Edit:

Tbh, all of the "technical" side of the op is pretty damn iffy if you ask me.

Geometry processed twice? Sorry, but you are wrong. About the rest, show me the right numbers and I will fix it.

So, wait. How much more are these larger cartridges going to cost?

Ok, I put a new question with ILikeFeet information about "Nintendogs + cats" price on amazon.

^F X-com

...

OP needs more work.

Ok, I will wait this game is announced and has a name before put it here

Should probably add a section on price speculation :]

Ok, I put a new question.

Incredible OP.

I know we don't know the price yet, but do we know what the launch titles are?

Sims 3 for now. I put a new question for this.

You should use the latest super street fighter 4 3ds screens.

http://www.destructoid.com/super-street-fighter-iv-3ds-gets-website-and-screens-180158.phtml

Ok, but I don't utilize the screens from this site you post. That screens are in a large resolution and messy.

27 - What does the hardware's codename acronym CTR stand for?

I can't find the answer. Sorry.

Awesome work, OP. I especially like the physical screen size comparison pic. It reassures me

that it won't be too small to play with, since I was comfortable playing on the original DS, and it's included as a

reference point.

Wouldn't it be a bit fairer to use the 960x640 resolution of the current top end iPhone, since it will have been on

the market five to nine months by the time the 3DS is released? Not all iPhones have that resolution, but the vast

majority of new buyers will be purchasing this model, yesno?

Thanks. I complete the information with the actual i-phone numbers too.

Ok, I put a new question with ILikeFeet information about "Nintendogs + cats" price on amazon.

Amazon has Konami's 3DS games listed for $34.99

[Cosmo Clock 21]

I still have yet to find an answer to this: the 3DS tech sheet that Nintendo posted back during E3 mentioned both an "AC adapter connector" and a "charging cradle terminal" under a list of hardware ports. Presumably the first one is what the DS/i has, but what's the second thing supposed to be?

 

[Boney]

I'll trade in the first gen version for the revision :]

That's what I did with my phatty

It will charge the 3DS as well.

 

[snesfreak]

Great OP, but why should I buy yet another DS!??!!

Spoiler

Day mother fucking one bitches!

 

[ILikeFeet]

It will charge the 3DS as well.

strange they made a charging cradle.

 

[Baconbitz]

Nice thread. Will subscribe. Also, I see your English has gotten better.

 

[GDGF]

Thanks for taking the time to do this. Excellent job!

 

[Frostburn]

Subscribed, this will certainly be the thread to go to when new info comes out on the system and games, thanks!

 

[Zoramon089]

F*** you Ono

 

[blu]

He is largely right. Regarding the rest, even if there are right numbers, putting them in a FAQ is practically useless. If I were you I'd leave the entire HW comparison section out. The display tech section provides enough technicality as it is.

 

[Alucrid]

Awesome post. Just one question, does the 3DS not having a top touch screen render any previous games ineffective?

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Awesome post. Just one question, does the 3DS not having a top touch screen render any previous games ineffective?

Uhhh, no? Why would it? No previous DS has had a top touch screen.

 

[Boney]

Awesome post. Just one question, does the 3DS not having a top touch screen render any previous games ineffective?

Huh?

 

[NomarTyme]

Great FAQ!! My first game to make my 3DS bleed is Mario Kart 3DS.

 

[storl026]

Everything I wanted to know in one place, great job OP!

 

[PhoncipleBone]

I am still wary of how low that Dpad is.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Nevermind.

 

[Alucrid]

Uhhh, no? Why would it? No previous DS has had a top touch screen.

Oh...whoops. I thought the reason that they asked if it was a touchscreen was because the previous models had one. Well, I guess that shows that this is will be my first handheld in a while. :lol

 

[Boney]

Oh...whoops. I thought the reason that they asked if it was a touchscreen was because the previous models had one. Well, I guess that shows that this is will be my first handheld in a while. :lol

There will be lots of catching up then mister!

I just want to know the release date... fuck the price.

 

[Hag]

Awesome OP! Can't wait for more info

 

[ILikeFeet]

Oh...whoops. I thought the reason that they asked if it was a touchscreen was because the previous models had one. Well, I guess that shows that this is will be my first handheld in a while. :lol

For shame

I need more of everything for this system. I know I will eventually get them, but I want to know about them now

 

[redbarchetta]

I want another Kirby Tilt'n Tumble on this thing.

Ironically, Kirby's Tilt'n Tumble won't work on the 3DS. Well, not in 3D at least. Since the 3D effect is dependent on viewing angle, tilting it will ruin the effect.

 

[Boney]

So how do you expect to play anything with augmented reality?

 

[Somnid]

I see no mention of the inferred port.
