Rubin Farr Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 So it's codename is the Nintendo 3DS which might be changed later, but it uses dual cameras to produce stereo 3D without glasses. Hopefully it has a more powerful graphics processor this time. http://kotaku.com/5499784/what-we-know-and-think-we-know-about-the-nintendo-3ds Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures Positive Metal Attitude Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54605-nintendo-quietly-announces-3d-handheld-system/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 That is cool, couldnt figure out how it made sense until that video. Not sure how it applies to making games fun to play though Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54605-nintendo-quietly-announces-3d-handheld-system/#findComment-1277273 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squee Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yeah, I would much rather have this than any of the millions of movies that are coming out in 3D. They've just announced that they'll be rebooting Popeye - in 3D! But this looks great! Could be a great new gameplay device where tilting the camera reveals new details and secrets to a level. For instance secret power-ups, coins, hearts etc. Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54605-nintendo-quietly-announces-3d-handheld-system/#findComment-1277276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gary C Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yeah, it's similar to the program that that Chinese-looking guy made in which he put the wii-remote on his forehead and the image moved for him.

Guest Echo Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Its not head tracking btw, it just uses cameras to detect when its being moved. Moving your head doesn't change the display, only moving the DSi does.

baph Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yeah, that's the first thing that came to mind. What an incredibly terrible system that was. Strapping it on was basically the equivalent of praying for a grand mal seizure.
