Gaming It Printed Money! In 3D! The Nintendo DS/2DS/3DS/N3DS/Mobile Discussion

Maybe if you turn it sideways and stick your eyes up real close, it can also play your old Virtual Boy 3D games collection.

 

Mesa gotta bombad feelin' 'bout dissen.

 

how's this better than the GBA? I don't get it

 

The worst thing about it is probably that you can't play GB and GBA games on it. At least that way it wouldn't have been a total waste of money if it turned out to be a flop.

 

First of all, how much will this DS cost? $100? $200?

 

Less than the PSP.

 

Speaking of the PSP, will the PSP accept PSX games? If so, Nintendo has a real competition on their hands.

 

No, the PSP will not play PS1 games.(PSX was the code name for PS1 during development, and is now the name of the Super PS2) Can you imagine playing a handheld that could accomodate a CD?

 

If they put a screen on top of a walkman it would be about the same size as a GBA. It would nto have to be much wider than a CD to accomodate one.

 

If Virtual Boy has 3D games like mario and donkey kong stuff i will buy. If like an Sony I-Toy i ant buying. I would rather buy another console cause the portal system like N-Gage PSP and Virtual Boy will be like 300 dollors

 

Here's some funny mock-ups.

very interseting possibility...

 

If it is a "true 3D" game machine, that might push it way above PSP in terms of notoriety.

 

might, no will. If, and i know that this is a big if, it is true 3d, and affordable, this will be heads above most consoles, portable or not...

 

3D Is Bogus?

>>>What we heard: Sharp actually stopped by the GameSpot offices to show off its impressive 3D technology, which displays two slightly askew images on a single screen to create the illusion of three dimensions. Apparently someone heard the words "two" and "screen," thought "DS," and started posting away. They might have also remembered the two companies' industry-shattering 1989 collaboration, the Sharp NES TV, and figured one loopy idea warrants another. Still, Nintendo and Sharp's silence could mean they're hiding something... that or they can't be bothered to respond to pesky reporters' idle gossip. It's doubtful that Nintendo could incorporate such premium technology into the DS and keep its price low enough to arouse interest in such a, err, unique system.

Bogus or not bogus?: The thing already has us seeing double--making it 3D would make millions cock-eyed. Bogus.<<<

Widescreen

>>>The release also stated that "the two LCD displays can be used as one large screen" meaning the DS will have a form of widescreen (albeit turned on its side.)<<<

Don't know about this talk about 3D.

It seems to make a lot sense though as to why both making a dual screen.

 

If DS is unsuccessful, Nintendo will be crushed, says former NCL president.

>>> The executive said that Nintendo will "give [its] all" to promote the Nintendo DS. He conceded that the device may not immediately overwhelm audiences, but that he hopes it will help ring in a new era, which may revitalize the games industry. "If we are unsuccessful with the Nintendo DS, we may not go bankrupt, but we will be crushed. The next two years will be a really crucial time for Nintendo."<<<

Sounds like their willing to take a gamble on it.

>>> Yamauchi reiterated his longstanding belief that the videogame industry is moving in the wrong direction, but added that it's approaching a critical point. "I have been saying this for some time, but customers are not interested in grand games with higher-quality graphics and sound and epic stories," he said.<<<

Hehe, Yamauchi put the crack pipe down. I want more complex games with epic storylines.

^lol

Let's have a recall election, I liked Nintendo's old president better! And since this is my first post here in this thread, will someone post a long boring post about what a DS is? The Nintendo Death Star?

 

The DS is short for Double/Dual(whatever) Screen. It's a handheld console with two separate screens, giving the player an oppurtunity to see the game from two separate views simultaineously. For instance, in a soccer game you see the whole field in one screen, and a close-up of you in the other. That's just an example of course. Nobody has even seen how it looks like yet.

 

Well, let's hope to God Nintendo doesn't put their full support behind this, or I see a K-mart tradegy occuring. I hate K-mart though.

 

I, for one, am not especially worried. Yes I'll be the first to admit that I am a Nintendo fanboy. Born with a NES controller in one hand a gameboy in the other, raised on the Super NES, but thats beside the point. What I mean to say is look at the recent past. When we first heard about Metroid being in first person how many of us were up in arms over it. " Not my Samus!" but what was it when it came out. " OM*G This is incredable!" For me it was the best FPS style thing that I ever experinced. When we heard of a cell-shaded Link what was the reaction? " **** Nintendo! They're taking our hero and turning him into little kiddy crap! WT*!" But when it came out and people spent more then 30 seconds on it what were the reactions? " Look! The explosions have little curly tails! I love this game!" So we get news now of a hand-held with something different. Lets see how they blow our minds this time.

 

You do have a point. I think there is a great chance that it will end up being a hit.

 

Meh. The DS will most probably have N64 graphics and play GB games. (latest hype)

I'm waitin' for E3.

If it fails Nintendo will not sink. Yamuichi (sp?) was just exaggerating to make it seem like it was either gonna blast up or sink down.

I'm excited about it and think'll it'll be good but I'm still waitin' for E3 before I judge this.
