In the same way as if something is blocking the view of one of your eyes in the real world. Or for that matter, the way the effect of seeing anything breaks for a regular DS game when it's blocked by a stylus.Kilrogg said:
I don't think there's anything forcing Nintendo to use exactly the same screen size and aspect ratio as Sharp's demos. The DS, DSLite, DSi and DSiXL all have custom sized screens tailored for their needs, there's no reason they couldn't do it with a 3D screen.
If they make the 3DS as wide as the DSiXL but as tall as the DSi, and the reduced screen gap, they can fit wider screens (not necessarily 16:9) and have a slim looking form factor.

I don't think he meant it that way. I believe he meant when the stylus walks "into" a pop-out effect. Because you'll have the illusion of a solid thing popping out of your screen, but there's nothing there when the stylus "touching" it. But if you have all 3D effects happen behind the screen you won't get this problem, as it would be equivalent of looking through a window.
More or less like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OemOETq5lakSnytbaggen said:

Ahh, right, right.Snytbaggen said:
The Sharp 3D is 3.4 inches diagonal (3.0 inches wide).
The stock DS screen is 3.0 inches diagonal (2.4 inches wide).
They're similar height.
Here's quick cutouts at approximate dimensions:
It doesn't look nearly as half-assed as those mockups make it. And it saves Nintendo money, requires less CPU resources for the inventory/map screen, and gives you an extra .6 inches for controls if you do slide-out.

No.
Though, all DS models are getting a price cut this week in Japan and Europe, just not that large of a pricecut.

And the DSi XL is 4 inches diagonal, correct?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Different ratios for the touch and main screen seem totally reasonable.

If they did, it would show us all that they're just playing another version of Submarine Invasion from the Popstation.

Not exactly, but more or less, yeah (the video is nice by the way, thanks for the link). Basically, the image looks 3D when you look at it, but as soon as something gets in the way (like your hand holding the stylus hitting the screen), everything looks flat, like on a regular 2D screen, as if the 3D effect was temporarily turned off. Is that what happens, or do the depth and pop-out effects work anyway?
[EDIT] Hmm, looking at Hobbun's picture, it doesn't look that bad, but I hope the screen ratios will be identical on both screens anyway.

Oh, they'll disappoint someone, regardless of what they show.
But yeah, should be a great show, at least.

Didnt some present that Pokemon Pokedex theory yesterday in here too?
Regardless, that would just be an odd way to play videogames on, not to mention its a dual screen slider and give no room to hold the game with having one hand permentantly on the screen in horizontal mode.

I think that unless it starts with a vowel, you take the first letter and put it at the end with an "ay".

I dont see why the thing would be a slide unless the new 3DS store sells movies and the like that would benefit from a "closed" slider viewing position.

Well, aside from movies (which is possible, given recent Nintendo trademarks), it would also be used for casual games, similar to those on the iPhone.
Games that require tilt only and some touch screen.

Consider yourself lucky.
So, do you think the analog stick is going to be an actual 'stick' or do you think it will it be a nub like the PSP?
I can see reasons for both. Having an actual stick would be nice, never liked using the PSP's analog stick with the games, just never felt right with how short it was. But then I can see that kind of design being necessary due to the limited space being a handheld.
Most of the mock ups have been with with actual sticks, so I assume that is what most feel we will receive?

Either way would be fine, as long as it was positioned well and wasn't horrible like the original PSP nubs.

I wonder if an updated stylus could double as a stick? Have a hole with the analog innards in place, and you just shove the stylus in there for a stick.

I want a ball not a nub
comedy bomb said:
That would be too long. Even with an actual stick, you want to be able to navigate the analog stick with your thumb. If you used an actual stylus, you would need to use multiple fingers. Which then in turn would make it difficult to use the shoulder button. Besides it just not 'feeling right' in not being able to just use your thumb.

Well, that's if the Pokedex theory holds up.
Either way, it'll be interesting to see what they come up with on Tuesday.
