Haha, brain fart on my part.
Edit: Upon further thought, I am guessing the giant button is the 2d/3d selector. Definitely in order, but I doubt it needs to be that huge.

Also, does anyone else think it's lame they're releasing another DS revision right after the XL?
Funny, you are not.

You're probably right. I'm not thinking very well this afternoon. I also should probably be using my time a bit better than speculating on a mockup. :lol
Overall, it's well made, HAL. I am just not a big fan of the aesthetics.

What i've been wondering is if the gap between screens is really as small as the rumors say, then what does this thing look like? Wouldn't the hinge have to be much smaller?
Fourth Storm said:
The solution is actually pretty simplethe top screen's bottom edge would extend into the hinge itself, and the bottom's right up flush against the edge of the hinge. It's not enough to eliminate it, but make it "negligible"? Sure.
EDIT: Coupled with a reduction in hinge diameter, I should add.

I bet the sales of that little 3D DSi-ware game exploded. Well, at last in the Japanese store. There's so much publicity and awareness now.
I remember how no one cared when it was posted here some weeks ago. :lol

Possible but I get the feeling Nintendo has been looking into this for some time now. Sony I very much doubt has given it any attention in terms of hand helds, console yes though. If they half ass it, which more then likely will be the case due to time and R&D the 3DS will stomp the PSP2. Sony if they want to do this as well shouldn't rush their next hand held but chances are they will rush it and it won't help them.
I don't get the gripes of this announcement before the XL. I mean really Gaf is so far removed from the market that Nintendo set for the XL. They said it was for an older market from the get go. At least take it back to the DSi. Even then its sort of like a stop gap GBAmicro type of thing in my opinion.
Its time for a new handheld. I for one can't wait to see how this thing works and also get into my second handheld ever after the DSlite. Also really hope they fix the gap between the screens because I absolutely can not play games with images that are crossing both (Contra).

Yeah but it would probably give you a headache after a while!
The motion blur thing gave me an idea, does this look any good as a still? Each pixel is blurred based on how different it is to the second frame.

:lol @ the Mario surfing on my mock-up pic.
I'm working on another one right now guys...

I would really love this design but they need to make the hinge more like the HP Mini's where the top screen's bezel drops behind the bottom half of the device. Bringing the screens closer together.

This time make a clam-shell illustrating the small gap between screens!
Simplistic as all hell, but I had to do this in a few minutes while the boss was out. Someone can flesh it out and make it look nice if they want to. Just wanted to try for an image explaining the system's possible layout. The L and R buttons are obviously hidden in the normal locations.
3DS Mock-Up
EDIT: Mostly I was trying to figure out how to put a decent analog stick on the thing.

My internet has been out for the past 2 days.
All can say for this is HOLY SHIT!!!!
This is so typical of Nintendo. They're so weird.
In one way they are by far and wide the most conservative company in the industry. But in another way they are by far and wide the most progressive.
Anyway Day 1 if this is true.

The biggest concern with the analog stick seems to be symmetry for lefties, seems like 2 would be required.
But here's a thought, what if, instead of a d-pad and an analog stick, they tried something like the old neogeo pad stick to get some functionality of both (also a relatively low profile design)? I can see nintendo actively trying to avoid putting both a pad and a stick on the thing.

Put a hinge on each side and move the screen down to the edge. You can sink the top screen into the top half, and raise the bottom screen up a bit to make them more flush.
Here's my bad mockup, with 'sticks' on the top screen! My sketchup skills aren't great right now.

It should be as it's only a still, was just trying to add depth compared to using a single frame of the gif.

Yep. This is the same company that put Pictochat in the ds, one of the most innovative systems ever, and didn't bother to make it online.Flying_Phoenix said:
Aside from the analog sticks, that looks really, really good. I think we can count on a design that looks a bit different than the DS though.Graphics Horse said:Put a hinge on each side and move the screen down to the edge.

By the way, I was totally serious. The analog sticks will be on the D-pads. I swear to god Nintendo should hire me.
I... I guess, that's a possible route, but that's if they want to market it as another DS iteration. If it's really a whole new handheld, and not just a graphical upgrade (accelerometer/rumble and, in a way, the 3D), why would they want to do that? People who already got one DS, and there are 125 million of them, might look at the new design and immediately write it off because they "already have one of those".gerg said:

I don't know about you guys but I personally just want one feature of the system that nobody else has talked about yet.
