The Nintendo 3DS

[NINTENDUDECT]

Play old DS games in 3D? Better graphics?

Hm, I might just get this, unlike that shitty DSi. Depending on the price, that is.

[BimBamBape]

Instead of making a new system they should work on getting better games onto the DS, rather than these shitty kids games, games with terrible graphics and updated (ruined) versions of old games.

They've been doing this since the original Gameboy was released.

As if a company as greedy as Nintendo would give up their Gameboy/DS cash cows for something new and interesting. They're probably discussing ideas for Pokemon: generation 5 as we speak.

They will either use that, or they will use ATI's version of that. It was said that they would use ATI's equivalent chip, simply because they already have a contract with ATI.

-and I for one am looking forward to a true hardware upgrade. I don't really care that they've made 5 different DS's. I just hope that this time there will actually be a visible [i]jump[/i] in graphics and processor power.

Probably when the a DS gets a graphics upgrade, Sony will whip out a PSP2 of some sort, with better graphics.

It is said that Sony is already working on a "new" psp, which will have a graphics chip equivalent to something between the Xbox and the Xbox 360.

[QUOTE=Nintendo-Guy;20913485]give me zelda[/QUOTE]

Nintendo still gives Zelda.

[QUOTE=Alba Meira;20919525]Nintendo still gives Zelda.

Yeah but a zelda with retarded gimmicks, such as spirit tracks.

Star-fox can go burn for all I care.

F-zero? FUCK YEAH, im getting tired of wipeout.

[Revolutionary]

Already semi-announced.

Spirit Tracks was great, what are you talking about? And I wouldn't mind a good old Starfox either.

But the last is true, where's our goddamn F-ZERO?

Dual screens and a touch screen were both seen as gimmicks, and those turned out great. The Wii not so much. I think I'll give this a chance.

[quote][UPDATE] Though Nintendo's official announcement of the 3DS was light on information, additional details on the upcoming handheld appear to have surfaced from Japanese business daily Nikkei. The newspaper's online edition reports that the 3DS will feature a thumb stick for controlling movement in a 3D plane as well as rumble functionality. The handheld will also reportedly feature greatly enhanced battery life, improved network connectivity, and a screen size that's smaller than four inches.[/quote]

I gave up the DS along time ago and I wish I got an PSP instead

Nah, the DS really is a better system. The games are way more fun and the touch screen adds to that fun.

The PSP is okay, it doesn't have very many good games though. (I've owned both)

[PariahKing]

I love my Nintendo DS.

But...

This sounds dumb.

Apparently there is going to be quite a few other features I have to add to the OP, including a "3D joystick", Force Feedback, Rumble, and an Accelerometer.

"will feature a thumb stick for controlling movement in a 3D plane"
Just got my purchase

[Xera]

I still own the original DS. Bought it on UK launch day, has worked absolutely fine ever since. It was kicked out of my hand at one point and smashed into the ceiling and then the floor, only the hinge broke on one side. Still works like a charm. I would probably have bought a DS Lite by now if it weren't for the awful buttons and it being really uncomfortable. Maybe this will get me to upgrade.. doubt it though.

Edit:

You guys know what a plane is right? A flat, 2D surface. So it's probably just a standard thumbstick like the PSP.

What the hell did you do there? the dots behind the 3DS thing make my speakers emit sounds.

[QUOTE=Aredbomb;20919061]They're probably discussing ideas for Pokemon: generation 5 as we speak.[/QUOTE]

Well, guess what. They are. And note how it said "highly detailed graphics" in the OP. Does Nintendo even know what that means?

Playing DS during school just got a lot harder.

[lum1naire]

I have no clue whats with all the hate and 'gimmicky' shit in this thread. I guess some of you don't really realize the potential this could have.

And don't start bashing it by its name jesus, this is nothing like the DSi or DS XL or whatever. This is going to add a lot more, at least I would hope.

I can just imagine.. Pokemon in 3D... jizzing

[QUOTE=ketchup;20912929] Another fucking DS instead of saving ideas for another much better handheld console. And another fucking gimmick for nintendo to dry hump to death.[/QUOTE]

You seem to have forgotten the PSP Go, which is just as gimmicky as this.
