The 3-D can be switched off. That eases concerns about angle and backward-compatibility. |

I knew prototypes are usually quite bulky, but I didn't expect it to be that bulky.
Well, I look forward to this E3 to see what comes out of it. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Posted by blackhole89 I still think it's stupid. Really it's a scam to pump out a new DS model every year. They make you buy a new one then they pump out another that you must buy the next year, so they keep a steady line of people buying shit they don't need because it's just going to get replaced next year. They already topped Gameboy Advanced remakes. HOWEVER If this 3DS thing pulls through I think it would be pretty revolutionary. ____________________ |

Eh, if you don't like the upgraded models then don't buy them. I'm perfectly happy with the original DS myself, thought this might make me upgrade eventually, especially since the hardware will have a fairly nice update now. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Why are you blaming the company when it's the idiots who just buy each new handheld console without even bothering to consider whether it's worth it. It's not Nintendo's job to protect people from their own stupidity, and they don't "make" anyone buy anything.
I have a DSLite and don't plan on getting either DSi model, and I'll probably wait for the second model 3DS before getting that too. ____________________ |

I think the DSi is cool and all but I can't afford to update my DS every year.
I can't even afford to get a new regular DS. Posted by Gywall I guess they can't make up their minds if they either want a very portable console or one where you can see the screens well but wont fit in your pocket. ____________________ |

The DSLite has an adjustable backlight (4 settings, I think the default #3 is what the original DS has) ____________________ |

I always have my DSlite on the lowest backlight setting. It's still really bright. I may actually consider selling that and getting the 3DS. I'll just wait and see if it's worth it. |

Well, I have to admit that I actually got my Nintendo DS very early through some official Nintendo pre-order. I think it wasn't going to be in the stores until another month or so. But I probably would let some games to be released for 3DS first. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Looks like most of you guys think this is just another itearation of the standard DS with a new feature, but it's not. This is the "next gen" handheld. It's rumoured to be running yet another revised version of the Gamecube tech...rumoured. We'll find out more soon though. |

Not too uncommon to refit older technology in a smaller form.
But it would seem strange for me to give up on using ARM with the "3DS", especially since ARM have a reputation for being battery-life friendly. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

I'm hoping the touchscreen will be polytouchable like the iphone.
Maybe 2 touch screens instead of 1? Who knows. Hopefully graphics/processor/memory like the gamecube, because with a 64-esque console there is definitely a terrain and object limitation within the games which makes it hard to make very nice levels like you can on today's consoles. Graphics aren't very important when it comes to everything, but I know that more polygons = more space and objects that can be put in the levels. And personally I'm having a tough decision on what type of DS I want now. Should I get a DS lite and stick with my M3 Perfect or get a DSi and get the SuperCard DSTwo with GBA emulation? ____________________ |

Poly-toucfhable seems to be another thread with touch-screen devices, but the touchscreen would need to be a bit bigger on the device than it currently is on the DS. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Multi-touch would work fine even on the original DS. I really always wished it could have been done in a great many games. |

Posted by CKY-9K I've been looking forward to the SuperCard DSTwo for a while, too. My DS Phat died a couple months back, so I decided to buy an XL. It's nice and everything, but I've really wanted to try some GBA emulation, and recent hands-on experiences with the SC2 show that the GBA emulator is basically the same one found in the iPlayer, which isn't exactly the most compatible thing. I'd stick with the Lite if I were you. There are plenty of Slot 2 options for GBA out there for ya. |
