Nintendo 3D-S to be much more powerful then wii and closer to xbox360 and ps3

Nintendo has never really pushed gaming power in a long time.

So I will believe it when I see it.

Near 360's and PS3 power?....Are we really buying into this without any kind of proof?

Well logic says if it is that powerful it won't come cheap.

destroyerHHH

I want to see how they do 3d with no glasses

i would not be shocked as both the ps3 and 360 are weak from a current tech stand point surrealnumber5

won't all this power be lost in making the 3d effect so we'll still only have last gen graphics

The resolution will be much lower than what normally runs on the 360 & PS3... so their reasoning is flawed. Lower res = lower pwr needed... I'm sure the Wii could handle 3D, if it only had to display it on a 4" screen.

Anyway.... I'm totally psyched for the new handheld... If it has a killer app at launch... I'll have one.

Off Topic.... I'm more interested in whether MS has a redesign for the 360 or not.... I hope so, because I'm now in the market for a new one.

If that's true......well..........OMG...........

Please, gentlemen. Calm down. Pull back the reins on your delusions. What you just read is PR propaganda and undoubtedly nonsense. The iPad, a tablet computer, has a single core 1 Ghz processor.....only slightly faster than the Wii and not even remotely in the ballpark of the three 3.2 Ghz cores of the Xbox 360's CPU or the average 2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo desktop CPU. It is vastly unlikely that their new handheld will feature a CPU comparable to a high-clocked single Pentium 4 CPU of last generation.Brownesque

Good old IGN.

Kid Icarus for the 3DS confirmed :P

Sounds great but I wonder if this won't make the price of the hardware and the games skyrocket. Only time will tell I guess.

It is no way nintendo is going to make a handheld that powerful. But if they do I want in badly. E3 needs to get here now.

they have made a TON of profits....so i dont' see why not, they can easily afford it

My bet is still on Gamecube quality graphics. Crystal-Rush

I don't think anyone would complain if the 3DS had graphical power equal to the GC. :P

If that IS true it only really serves to prove how lazy they were with the Wii. :(Ninja-Hippo

[QUOTE="gamer0100"]

Thats just to hard to belive. Nobody is actually gonna be disappointed if it turns out to be anything close to gamecube. BUT.....if this happens.......Nintendo will change everything as we know it........ again

This does not make sense. Ps3 has 3d capabilites and there games wont be downgraded to that of gc or ps2. So why would this?

Well if SEVERAL developers have said that then it could be true..

something coming equal to ps3 or 360 in a handheld would cost alot. and nintendo has had the cheapest handheld and the console out there(1 of the reasons why they sell alot). it wouldnt need that much power if it does ds type graphics in 3D.

I'm going to call a $299-349 USD base price.

I think he meant as powerful as in image quality. It is actually possible because of lower resolution.

Lol, maybe you're forgetting, but this isn't being released by Sony.

And I'm sorry guys, but expect to be let down.

with all that $$$ nintendo has avaiable to them for technology development, it's not all that surprising if they do come out guns a blazing with the 3D-S. they really got to come out with something that will blow the iphone/ipad away in terms of gaming.

it's not 2005 anymore, when nintendo really couldn't compete with MS and sony power wise. it's 2010, and nintendo's the king right now.

With the success of the DS, expectations are pretty high for its successor.

I'm going to be pretty disappointed if it doesn't cook pizza and do my Calculus homework as well as playing Pikmin 4 with Crysis quality graphics.

Well if SEVERAL developers have said that then it could be true..

I wouldn't get your hopes up, but you really can never tell what Nintendo will do next.

It may infact be true, it may have the image quality of a xbox 360 game but at a much lower resolution. (guessing around 600x400) compared to 1280x720.

it's never happened in gaming history that a handheld is more powerful than the home console counterpart. or maybe a new nintendo's home console is around the corner. it'd be about time

Interesting.

But I highly doubt the 3DS will be as powerfull than PS3 or 360. I mean if Nintendo can do just that, then might as well build a console version with the same capabilities.

I'm going to call a $299-349 USD base price.

foxhound_fox

so this is what is going to happen u charge ur 3DS for about 72 hours on a regular basis and u get about 2 minutes play time if it really is that powerfulGeneralHawx
