Does anyone feel conflicted about the 3DS in this sense? (Explanation inside)

I mean, take a look at the DS Lite. Its simple, because it provides 2D or 3D gameplay. For the most part, so does the DSi and DSXL.

Now, they are saying this new thing, the 3DS, if you look at it, it will look like you are looking at it in the 3D dimensional sense, kind of like your looking into a fishbowl.

Are you guys going to miss the DS lite? And do you think Nintendo, as innovative as they are, are taking it a step too far? We just want to game for Gods sakes! We don't necessarily want something that is going to make me 0-o.

Any thoughts?

I'm pretty sure the 3DS will still play games in 2D just like the DS Lite. Surely there's an option to disable/not use the 3D graphic and stick to traditional 2D, right?

It's only a hunch but Nintendo won't give up on 2D gaming so quickly like that. I think the 3DS is supposed to be enjoying the benefits of both dimensions working together.

They DID say it would be backwards compatible, so there should be the normal 2D for at least DS/DSi games.

i just do not like the idea of 3d in games because i dont want to have to look at my game at another angle to see my charcter or something around the corner

Yeah, i agree to I don't like the whole 3d move they're doing. I think they might be a bit ahead of themselfs, like we're movine a bit too fast in the future or something. Then again you never know Nintendo might surprize us big time.

[QUOTE="outworld222"] I guess if they add that option, then you make much sense. Yes. Good post.Luigi12901

You're right! I forgot about that. It will definitely be playable in 2D then.

3D = Gimmicky & Lame ... However people were saying the same thing about the DS before its release... so, I'm hoping Nintendo surprises us all and releases something really great. But we'll just have to wait for e3.

People hated when they revealed the Wii....look how that turned out. I cant wait til E3.

Don't worry, 3D is gonna work on a handheld. The thing is some games are probably gonna missuse it just like the huge load of shovelware on Wii, but the main games, that will benefit from it, will handle it perfectly, I think.

It's not gonna be the new way of playing games, like the stylus, but just an addition, also that's why they're adding these small things like accelerometer and rumble to compensate for that.

I think the 3DS will set a new standard for handheld gaming, and I am pretty sure this new pokemon game is still only a DS game and not a 3DS game. By now, Pokemon should have much better graphics than it does, but Gamefreak is just hella lazy.
