Title: Nintendo 3DS announced
Post by: GamerMan316 on March 23, 2010, 09:02:30 AM
3D gaming (without glasses) coming before March, 2011

Nintendo's announced that it plans to release the Nintendo 3DS, the handheld that will "succeed" the current DS before March next year.

The announcement was made in a newly released investor report, which says, "...games can be enjoyed with 3D effects without the need for any special glasses." - Pretty massive.

The report also says that the 3DS will succeed the DS Series and will support backwards compatibility for DS and DSi software.

Here's an English translation of the 3DS press release for your further scrutiny:

"Nintendo Co., Ltd.(Minami-ward of Kyoto-city, President Satoru Iwata) will launch "Nintendo 3DS"(temp) during the fiscal year ending March 2011, on which games can be enjoyed with 3D effects without the need for any special glasses.

"Nintendo 3DS"(temp) is going to be the new portable game machine to succeed "Nintendo DS series", whose cumulative consolidated sales from Nintendo amounted to 125million units as of the end of December 2009, and will include backward compatibility so that the software for Nintendo DS series, including the ones for Nintendo DSi, can also be enjoyed.

We are planning to announce additional details at E3 show, which is scheduled to be held from June 15, 2010 at Los Angeles in the U.S."

I certainly hoped Nintendo paid Johnny Chung Lee for the rights to use his creation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd3-eiid-Uw).

Nintendo Says 3DS Is "Our Next Handheld Platform"

Dispelling any doubt over the significance of the upcoming 3DS, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has told BusinessWeek that the console is the company's "next handheld platform".

"We have ideas of what we want to bring to the consumer that we can't do with the current DS model", he said. "The Nintendo 3DS for us is our next handheld platform."

While this seemed likely given the fact that DS support for the 3DS has been described as "backwards compatability", this is the first official confirmation we've had that the 3DS will indeed be an all-new handheld generation, making it Nintendo's fourth after the Game Boy, Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS.

The world will get its first look at the 3DS in June, during the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.

3DS visuals 'close to PS3, 360'
And features user-adjustable 3D intensity, according to "sources"

The Nintendo 3DS is expected to be considerably more powerful than the current DS, but a new report cites "sources" claiming its visual are close to that of HD consoles like PS3 and 360.

"Several developers that have experienced 3DS in its current form have reported, off the record, 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," says IGN.

Later in the feature it goes to say: "Off the record sources indicate that the system will have user control over the 3D effect to make it more or less intense."

That would be similar to nVidia's 3D Vision kit for PC, which also allows you to toggle the intensity if 3D yourself to suit your eyes.

The Nintendo 3D is Nintendo's next handheld device, supports 3D effects without the need for glasses and will be out in Japan before April 2011. That's the official word.

Nintendo will show off the console for the first time at E3 next week.


Thought i'd post a funny story to start the day off  ;D

Is This Nintendo's 3DS?

(http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/06/500x_dsimockupagain.jpg)

The Nintendo 3DS will have a 3D camera, two differently-designed screens, a tilt sensor and will be significantly more powerful than current handhelds, according to our reporting.

A sketch of the 3DS by a Chinese blogger who claims to have a 3DS development kit matches other reports and information Kotaku has heard from people familiar with Nintendo's next handheld. All together they form what is Kotaku's best guess of what Nintendo's next major gaming device will offer players.
The Screens

The sketch presents a 3DS that shares the clamshell two-screen design of the original 2004 DS, an expected set-up given that Nintendo has confirmed that the 3DS will play DS games. But the new 3DS sports a bigger top screen, presumably a Sharp-manufactured display capable of showing game graphics in screen-popping 3D. The 3DS' lower screen is built to the specifications of the original DS' lower touchscreen. These screen ratios match those seen in a DS circuit board filed by Nintendo to the FCC.

(http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/06/500x_500x_3dsguts.jpg)

In his report, the Chinese blogger says that "the effect of the [3D] screen is amazing." The blogger mentions some features, including an MP3/AAC hardware decode function and a media player of some sort.

Reached for comment about these features, Nintendo of America provided a statement that " Nintendo does not comment on rumors and speculation."

Kotaku contacted Sharp as well but did not hear back by press time.

But the numerous details out there remind us that in this era of lost iPhones, company hardware secrets are harder to keep than ever. As official announcements loom, details tend to trickle out, as they did here about the Xbox 360 on Kotaku in 2005.
A Camera Surprise?

The Chinese sketch strengthens our belief that the 3DS will include cameras, as do the DSi and DSiXL variants of the DS product line. A rectangle near the d-pad of the 3DS in the sketch could represent the Sharp-designed 3D camera that was rumored last month to be on its way to the new Nintendo handheld. Such a camera might be used to capture images in 3D dimensions or detect motions of the player.

In a May press release, Sharp said of the camera:

    In the future, Sharp will be opening up new 3D markets based on 3D display technologies, including small/medium-size and large-size 3D LCDs, as well as on 3D input device technologies such as 3D camera modules.

Other Parts

The Nintendo 3DS, we're told, will use a second, proprietary medium for games specific to the portable. We understand that the new 3DS games will fit on a card about the size of a Compact Flash card and that the system is designed to accept both these new games and DS games, possibly in the same slot.

We don't believe the 3DS will include an analog stick, leaving character control to the machine's d-pad and/or touch screen.

We do expect the 3DS to have a tilt sensor or accelerometer of some sort, a fact that was all but confirmed by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata himself despite the company's attempt to distance themselves from the statement after it was published in a major Japanese newspaper.

The official specs for the 3DS will be revealed on Tuesday during Nintendo's E3 media briefing.

Reports about the machine's horsepower, rumored earlier this week to be in the league of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 may be an overstatement, but game industry sources familiar with the project have acknowledged to Kotaku that the system is an extremely capable device. It may be as powerful as a Wii.
The Improved Buzz

Buzz on the system has been unusually strong of late. Earlier this week, EA boss John Riccitiello was quoted in the gaming press saying that he had seen the 3DS and that "it's cool." While that type of praise might be easily dismissed as pre-E3 hype, Riccitiello's general praise for the 3DS has been echoed by multiple enthusiastic gaming industry sources in touch with Kotaku. They won't reveal what the machine can do, but they attest that Nintendo has something special in the works. That's a different kind of buzz than the one that preceded the DS six years ago, a machine that was preceded by skepticism by many game creators, confusion about the device's features and an underwhelmed impression of the system's power when compared to it's looming rival, the PlayStation Portable. Six years later, it appears that Nintendo's next handheld hardware is closer to the cutting edge, more impressive than odd.

E3 2010 was expected to be the Xbox 360 Project Natal and PlayStation 3 Move resurgence of motion control gaming. But the 3DS, with a surprise packed in, just might steal the show.

Please note: The image atop this post is a mock-up based on our best assessment of which features will be in the Nintendo's 3DS.

i know it's only a mock-up but the extra wide top screen will be much better than what we have now. I will pick one up mahybe a year after it's released so there are enough games about and maybe, just maybe a R43D card :P

3DS Launch Title Will be Kid Icarus Uprising

(http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/06/500x_phptsnveximg_0098-w1000.jpg)

Kid Icarus' long awaited return was revealed today by Nintendo; he will star in Kid Icarus Uprising a title designed specifically for the new Nintendo 3DS.

In the the debut trailer, Pit appeared with a cheery, "Sorry to keep you waiting," as the familiar Kid Icarus theme soared over the gameplay sequences. Kid Icarus' debut was in the 1986 release for Famicom and later the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America.

European 3DS launch "by early next year"

A senior source close to Nintendo has claimed that 3DS will be available worldwide "by early next year" at the latest, with a 2010 launch in at least one territory "likely".

Nintendo conspicuously avoided detailing launch plans for its 3D handheld during Tuesday's E3 conference, where the system was unveiled.

Speaking to Eurogamer after the event, a Nintendo UK spokesperson confirmed that the company had no announcement to make on launch date or price at present.

But our source revealed that a holiday 2010 release is being worked towards on a global level, with a chance the system could slip into early 2011.

The console, which produces 3D visuals without the need for specialised eyewear, has been met with widespread acclaim, and its E3 debut is backed by a wealth of demo content produced both in-house and from key third-party partners, including playable games, interactive videos, 3D movie samples and the ability to take 3D photos.

No joke ... I had this really strange dream about Spielberg last night.  Nothing kinky.

I was sort of dreaming about Oblivion, because I've been playing it waaaaay too much.  I was exploring a dungeon/cave thing and found a secret room.

The room was completely empty, except for Spielberg sitting in a chair in the middle of the room.  Kind of like that Matrix / Wizard-of-Oz scene but without all of the TV screens.  I was like, "Hey Steven!  What are you doing here?"  And he was like, "Hey Steve!  Let me talk to you about Jesus Christ."

It was really awkward.  The weirdest thing ... Spielberg is Jewish.   :-\

Report: 3DS to allow full game installs

The Nintendo 3DS will allow users to copy games to internal memory according to a report in Japanese newspaper Nikkei, translated by Andriasang.

The software install feature will allow 3DS owners to store multiple games on memory rather than having to carry around a lot of cartridges.

Nintendo has come under pressure from third parties to do something about rampant DS piracy.

Yesterday Activision COO Thomas Tippl told GameSpot: "if they also address the piracy issues they have and upgrade the copyright protection system, I think [3DS is] going to be a big success"

Given that a lot of the piracy devices are cartridges that store multiple ROMs on micro-SD cards, perhaps Nintendo has decided that if you can't beat them...

Report: Nintendo 3DS Hardware Specs Revealed

(http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2010/09/500x_3ds_spex.jpg)

Nintendo's next handheld game machine, the Nintendo 3DS, will be significantly more powerful, thanks to hardware specs that represent a vast improvement over the Nintendo DS and its more powerful successor, the Nintendo DSi.

IGN, citing "persons familiar with the hardware who spoke to us under the condition of anonymity," report that the 3DS will come stuffed with the following electronic guts.

CPU: 2 x 266MHz ARM11
GPU: PICA200 133MHz GPU by DMP
RAM: 64MB
Video RAM: 4MB
Storage: 1.5GB Flash-based

The original Nintendo DS featured a pair of ARM processors running at 67 MHz and 33 MHz and a comparatively paltry 4 MB RAM. The Nintendo DSi had double the CPU clock speed and quadrupled the system's RAM, plus added 256 MB of flash-based storage.

We've reached out to Nintendo seeking comment on the matter. The company is not typically open about the nitty gritty hardware aspects of its video game hardware and has not yet responded to requests for comment.

Rumour: Ocarina of Time Bundled with the Nintendo 3DS

(http://www.zeldainformer.com/assets_c/2010/12/ocarina-of-time-3ds-thumb-450x273-2786.jpg)

While rumors are always swirling around, it's been awhile since we heard any involving Zelda. According to a Gamestop employee (http://gonintendo.com/storylist.php?s=Zelda&t=0&button=), there will be a version of the 3DS that is bundled with "some sort of Zelda title". Being that Ocarina of Time is the only Zelda title announced for the 3DS, it is safe to say that Ocarina of Time is the "zelda" game he is referencing.

Where did the employee get this information? At this point no one knows, but it's safe to say the information most likely came from their computer system, where it is starting to list all the bundles and such for preorder (yes, you can preorder the 3DS right now folks). While anything heard from Gamestop is always to be taken with a heavy dose of salt, wouldn't it be grand if you could get Ocarina of Time WITH the 3DS? Talk about a launch title!

Nintendo 3DS UK launch colours confirmed

A Nintendo 3DS trailer shown at yesterday's European launch event in Amsterdam has confirmed that the console will be available in two colours from launch.

The platform holder will launch the system in 'Aqua Blue' and 'Cosmos Black'.

3DS is due for release in Europe on March 25th (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=284007).

GAME confirms UK 3DS launch games?
Nine titles set for day-one, retailer claims

Nine games will be available to purchase on the UK's 3DS launch day.

That's according to punters who've pre-ordered their handheld at GAME, who are reporting phone calls from the retailer to alert them of the following titles due out on day-one:

    * Nintendogs + Cats
    * Super Monkey Ball 3D
    * Asphalt 3D
    * Lego Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars
    * Super Street Fighter IV 3D
    * Rayman 3D
    * Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Shadow Wars 3D
    * Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 3D
    * Pro Evolution Soccer 3D


GAME's details are in line with an MCV report last week that claimed around ten titles will be available at UK launch, including Street Fighter, PES and Nintendogs.

It should also be noted that the three Nintendogs SKUs technically take the launch roster up to 11.

Nintendo UK GM David Yarnton told CVG last week that the firm was still nailing down UK 3DS launch titles, though these look pretty much on the money to us.

i saw one in action on a screen at gamestation. It was impossible to see the 3D effects, but the graphics looked to be a huge step up from the DS. Unfortunately the games will probably be very expensive, so i will most likely give it a miss for that reason.

Just wait for the inevitable influx of new R4 cards and illegal downloads.   ;D

Not me.  Maybe after a more games release ... and a massive price drop.  I'm still trying to get rid of my o.g. fat DS that I never play.

I'm seeing a few reactions like this online.  They fell in love with it at E3 / PAX, but once they got it home it seemed like a different experience.

I wonder if Nintendo made some kind of last-minute changes to save $ (like Kinect did)?

Nintendo faces end of era after 3DS flop! (http://technology.canoe.ca/Gaming/2011/09/13/18677436.html)

"On Tuesday, President Satoru Iwata introduced what he said was an unprecedented range of games, aimed at attracting everyone from hardcore gamers to fashion-conscious girls and fans of the long-running Mario series."

Launch new hardware 6 months before announcing the must-buy games?  Genius!

I'm sure most of us are oldschool fans of Nintendo.  I don't want to see the company go under, but they have made some horrible decisions this generation ... with little sign of improvement.

I wonder if we'll see Nintendo become a 3rd-party developer (a la Sega) in the future.  I'd love to play Zelda on my Xbox720.   ;D
