Its a remake of a handheld bro, not gonna change anything major.

The title reminds me too much of Apple's stupid iPhone catch phrase :P

Anyways I'll look forward to more info, but I see no reason to hype it.

It may change the handheld gaming world, a world that I haven't cared about since the original GameBoy

Ehh, I'll wait for a price drop. I'd give RE:R a try and definitely want OOT.

It's a $299.99+ DSi with tacked on 3D screen and PSP specs. And it seems it'll retain the DS's out of date non-muti-touch, non-capacitive touch screen, and the DSi's abysmal camera. What a rip-off. Not to mention no second analog stick. Good luck using the stylus to control the virtual analog stick. The touchscreen is not designed for finger touching like the iPhone. runbleduck

No your DS games won't be in 3D...well unless it's Pokémon Black and White then maybe

The 3DS is just a beefed-up DS... :(

Pretty cool concept and I think it will change the gaming world. It will help the push toward 3d gaming. It seems that's where everything is headed.

I'm thinking of picking up a 3DS just for the new Ocarina of Time alone. The lineup is fantastic with Zelda and Starfox. This alone is tempting me to become a Nintendo gamer again.

How much will the 3DS and the OoT remake cost at launch? Also, does anyone know if they'll be adding anything new to OoT like they did with SM64 DS or is it just a port of the N64 version?

Nothing new here just a new DS in 3D! LOLraskullibur

Have you read a single article on the 3DS?

And the PSP2 is gonna be a PSP with more horsepower, nothing new.

We don't know exactly what touchscreen the 3DS will use. While capacitive is unlikely, since they generally don't support stylus input (*manufacturers are working on this problem*), there are technologies which can while also being responsive to finger input. The optical method employed by the latest Sony Readers is one such technology. And even some recent resistive membranes work surprisingly well (there are even ones that support multi-touch).

Its a powered up ds with a 3d screen, it will bring some changes, but its hardly a revolution, il wait for nintendo to make the lite version, i refuse to pay over 200 on a handheld.

I have to agree.

The graphics look like a hug step up from the DS.

Let alone the 3D ability.

I'm hoping it would allow me to play heaps of N64 and SNES classics, shame that the DS caouldn't do that.

I'm a pretty heavy technophilleand I have all the hardware this generation and then some, but even at $300.00 I'm tempted to wait for the next iteration of the #DS to come out instead. Like I did the DS.

May even trade in my DSiXLfor it.

If it really launches at $299.99 like everyone speculates (maybe this has been confirmed and I didn't hear?), that's going to hurt...a handheld that launches with a higher price point that Nintendo's latest home console offering? If they keep it at $250 or less, I might consider it; at $300, I won't even think about it.jalexbrown

It has only been confirmed that it will cost 25,000 yen. At the current exchange rate this roughly converts to $300.... however the exchange rate rarely if ever actually determines the US price. In fact I'm quite will certain that it'll be $250 at most.

As for 3DS I have never cared at all about handheld gaming. To me it looks like a mega lineup of games I have already played and beaten a few times, save a few a games.

Awesome. I'm not getting one (I'm a one console man -- due to money, not because I think my 360 is my spouse or that I owe anything to Microsoft), but I hope my brother does. He's all about handheld gaming, and loves his DS.

Regarding the "haters": it's a new generation. Its capacity is higher than that of the regular DS (it's not a DS + 3D, stop being ignorant and look your information up), and will be capable of having better graphics than the PSP (though, imo, I never was fond of handheld games that tried to have good graphics -- always preferred "arty" ones).

But, as someone already said...

I guess 3DS will be a 8th gen console.

Its goin down.
