I'm searching through information - is 3DS going to be playable on the show floor at all, or don't we know? If we don't know, I assume its at TGS.

Edit: why a hinge though? Couldn't it just as well slide out?

EatChildren said:We dont know. We know it's going to be revealed, but thats it.
I assume it will be playable. It would be a missed oppertunity to leave it out, especially if an October launch is true. But you never know.
according to http://www.edge-online.com/news/3ds-playable-this-e3 YES it will be playableWolves Evolve said:I'm searching through information - is 3DS going to be playable on the show floor at all, or don't we know? If we don't know, I assume its at TGS.

You can't go one screen if you want it to fold.seady said:Why split it into two?
grandjedi6 said:Nintendo only knows how to make portables based off of Gunpei Yokoi designs. Hence the 3DS will either be like the DS or like the virtual boy.
KevinCow said:That actually looks a lot like the DS we wound up getting.
seady said:I think one motivation of the dual screen of the DS is to keep the cost down.
I assume one big touch screen is more expensive than two small screens? It allows them to have only one screen to be touch and one that is not (so to keep cost down).
If both screen are touch, it really negates the reason to have a two screens. Why don't they just make one big screen that is touch. Why split it into two? If they want the system to play old DS games, I can see them do something similar like the early iPhone games with only one big screen rendering two images (when they were simply port of DS games, or were still stuck with the DS's dual screen mentality):
I really liked the two color thing they had going on. It's like a GBASP wearing armor or something.Smiles and Cries said:no one really knows how far along the 3DS is, at least not here
I just hope we do not get something like the Original DS when it was first shown

Black space at the bottom is the old DS cart thing (the new one would be at the top I guess). Stereo cameras for 3D camera effect.
Dreamwriter said:Actually, when Sharp was showing off the screens, they said that touchscreen versions would also be available, but not until later this year (and cost a little more).

Though, if we go by the pokédex thing, this seems sort of impossible, now.
This.m3k said:good mock up but playing most games id rather have a wide view than a vertical screen
Xater said:Man I hope this gets locked soon, so I can top looking in here if any news happened. :lol
1-D_FTW said:It's cool and all, but that would require a massive resolution for casual mode.

I can see some similarities between the changes in the Pokédex and Nintendo's actual handhelds over the years, but this really shouldn't be taken TOO seriously.BlueWord said:Though, if we go by the pokédex thing, this seems sort of impossible, now.
:lol :lol :lolEmCeeGramr said:the year is 2004 and nintendo has announced a dual screened handheld
the great creative minds of our time set to work
Yeah, I really don't believe in the Pokedex theory. The only one that looks anything like an actual product is the Sinnoh dex.JoshuaJSlone said:stuff

The SDK is reportedly "similar in power to the GameCube," with an easy learning curve for developers familiar working with Nintendo's GameCube or Wii home consoles.

In the same month, several developers spoke publicly about features they wished to see in a Nintendo DS successor, including stronger online functionality,[19] dual multi-touch screens,[20] a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, and 3G mobile broadband connectivity.[21]
Graphics Horse said:It really wouldn't! total DS screen size is 256 x 384, compared to PSP's 480 x 272.
There are ways to emulate touch screen with certain styli but I'm not sure they'll go down that route.
The only downside to that mockup is some kind of QTE based mario game.
Dedication Through Light said:Thats some mighty conflicting information:
several developers who have experienced 3DS in its current form", the system possesses processing power "close to HD consoles such as PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360"
IGN said:that it has processing capabilities that far exceed the Nintendo Wii and bring the device with abilities that are close to HD consoles such as PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
DataBot said:Yes that one is wrong you need to read carefully
That means the GPU Processing is at wii levels and GPU effects like Shader , bloom, etc. are closer to X360 and PS3 levels.
I pointed this out already many times.
Someone could fix the wiki page.
In early-June 2010, video gaming website IGN reported that according to "several developers who have experienced 3DS in its current form", the system possesses processing power "close to HD consoles such as PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360"

Why are you posting this in the 3DS thread instead of the Wii HiFi thread? ;-)cw_sasuke said:I expect Level 5 Time Travelers to be fully announced at the Nintendo conference.
Rumor: Nintendo 3DS to Have Analog Stick, Possibly 3D Camera
Chinese blogger claims to have a 3DS development kit, and spills some supposed hardware details
According to a new report from Kotaku, the Nintendo 3DS won't just feature a 3D display, but perhaps also a built-in 3D camera, a small analog stick, a top screen about twice as wide as the bottom screen, and the system has reportedly been compared to the Wii in terms of its horsepower.
Some of these details come from an anonymous Chinese blogger who claims to have a 3DS development kit, and while "anonymous Chinese blogger" doesn't sound like the most trustworthy source, Kotaku reports that these details match what they've heard from other sources "familiar with the system's development kit" as well.
The Chinese blogger drafted a simple mock-up of what the 3DS will look like, showing a much wider top screen and a "rectangle" over the D-pad that may be where a 3D camera will be built into the system. The camera, developed by Sharp (just as the handheld's 3D screen is rumored to be made by Sharp), could be used to both capture 3D images as well as "detect motions of the player."
As for the analog stick, we've heard it mentioned before that the 3DS would feature one, but Kotaku reports that other sources have confirmed the handheld features a small stick more comparable to real analog stick than the nub on the PSP. And on top of that, more of these anonymous sources have reportedly told Kotaku that the handheld's power may be comparable to the Wii (as opposed to the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, as was rumored earlier this week).
If it hasn't been made clear enough yet, though, we stress again these are all completely unconfirmed reports from various anonymous sources, with Nintendo refusing to comment on any of these rumors. But with their E3 press conference set to take place on June 15, we'll all find out exactly what the Nintendo 3DS will be packing in just a few days.

DataBot said:This mockup looks good who did this?
Can you guys Photoshop it and update it making the upper screen slideable and removing the d-pad adding a nub?
Eteric Rice said:Unfortunately, the first DS was ugly as well.
If it were me, I'd make it look like this.
But with a thinner screen, and a non-shitty color scheme.
Oh, and buttons, d-pad, and stick of course.
"Duck soup" would be my second guess, with Developers's System my first.Spwn said:What do you think "DS" stands for? Duck soup?
