So waht exactly is the 3DS

in gamespots article silly,

these are from the actual press release

1 the 3ds will have gamecube like graphics

2 backwards compatible with ds/dsi games

3 3d screens obviously

4 screens less then 4 inches -3.9?

5 better wifi /internet

6 tilt/motion tech being looked into

7 and there is nearly no space between the screens making it possible to use both screens as one big one-thus giving us at least 6.somthin inches total

and it wil have a analog stick /psp like thing for controlling in a 3d plane /world

so ya um its confirmed but doesn meant itll use the chip you mentioned it could use a similar one

Only one option: Wait for E3....

That's as best as it can get.

They should have afold-abledisplay. I was never too fond of those gaps, makes Sonic Rush frustrating to play.

I like this Idea.

Lets all hope Nintendo makes one peripheral this time around.

A bit odd, I can't determine if the ''vibrating stick'' means a stylus or analogue stick. Doesn't seem to mention 3D either.tomarlyn

Not directly. However it refers to a sort of interaction based on how far away the enemy character appears (their depth). Which sounds like something which could possibly complement the 3D. What is interesting is that this patent was originally filed in 2004, yet Nintendo choose to update it now (or at least recently).

They've obviously been toying with this idea for a while. Virtual Boy just came at the wrong time.tomarlyn

True. They apparently even included 3D functionality in the Gamecube, though never used it.

Another gimmicky Nintendo hardware release that has about as much appeal to me as having sex on a bed of butcher knives.jalexbrown

It's an all new DS effectively DS2, I know gamespot says otherwise, but they are wrong.
