Dang! I don't know but if it is it's a sexy looking handheld.

So you're thinking that the games will have both 2D and 3D on the same cartridge allowing the person to switch back and forth which will work on the 3DS and the regular DS systems. That sounds very plausible. What about the game quality though? If you take a 3D game made for 3D will it lose something by being in 2D? Kind of similar to the 3D movies that you can see in 2D...I'm thinking it's easier to do it this way. If I make any sense that is.

I'd heard about the e-reader, but didn't know about Nintendo branching out in schools...that is pretty awesome. Yes, not only will the larger 2D screens work better, the 3D screens won't even be necessary making the existing DS technology more affordable. Hopefully it's OK to post this link which has more rumors: http://nintendo.joystiq.com/tag/@ds

Great post! I tend to agree and again I hope this is true. I can see the market for the DS and the 3DS coexisting. The DS (and the XL) is perfect for puzzle, adventure, brain gaming. Now this audience tends to be a little older, but with the DS it opened the market for this kind of gamer more than any other system I can think of. These are also people who have some cash to spend on a $30 puzzle game that doesn't require the latest and greatest technology along with the bells and whistles. It's mainly good gameplay and story that are the attractions. Could it be the XL was premiered, then the announcement of the 3DS soon after because the XL's target audience is different than the 3DS? You'll have the casual gamers, along with those who are adverse to 3D still wanting to by the DS line and games to go with it. As I mentioned, I just hope the game developers will still have lots of new products to offer for 2D only.

I hope that will be a feature, but since the 3D aspect is the major upgrade then I'm suspecting there won't be other features that will entice me to buy it. One thing I didn't think of is the possible price drop on the DSi/XL once the 3DS comes out. I'm very interested in the downloadable content of the DSi, so I guess I'll just wait. I really hope game designers still keep the 2D market in mind once the 3DS drops.

I still have my doubts that I won't get sick playing this thing. There are some people whose motion sickness is a big issue, like my daughter and I. Even if it's not technology common to the movies out, I highly doubt it won't make a stomach churning experience for some.

Not everyone is jazzed about 3D and hopefully there will still be a market for 2D handheld gaming.

Hey, 34 is NOT middle age! I'm almost 40 and just because I need a larger screen to see (lol) doesn't mean I'm old.

Thanks for the review, btw.

Just asking...is there a reason you wouldn't just get a DSLite since your child is so young? It's not like she'd be savvy enough to compare the screen size. Unless you're looking for downloadable content, then it's understandable.

My daughter was wicked hard on her original DS and I did the screen protection and everything.

[QUOTE="ThePlothole"][QUOTE="darth-pyschosis"]

so if the resolution is 480x320 or 320x240 will it effect graphics much? I can't see nintendo going over 480x320

darth-pyschosis

Well considering that the screens on the current DS are just 256x192, even 240x230 (eg. 480x320 in 3D) would be an improvement. And I believe the sharp technology at least can give you the full display resolution in 2D mode.

Yea i'm hoping i can turn it off

I think it may be cool for games like Ace Attorney, MillionHeir, Trauma Center, Professor Layton but games like Sonic Rush, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, i don't see an immediate enhancement for those titles from 3D, but i'm not against them finding some crazy cool way to work it in

I'm beginning to think its more likely this will have Tegra 2. I certainly hope so

I'm hoping they you can turn it off as well. If so, I'd just have to see if the resolution is so much better than the DSi to determine if it would be worth me to upgrade.

Dude, that's amazing. This is the first time I could wrap my brain around the possible concept of what the 3DS might have to offer. On the down side, I had an immediate physical reaction to looking at those pictures. No seizure or anything, just the nauseousness related to motion sickness. It took seconds. I'm in big trouble if this is the future of gaming. As it stands I'm only playing puzzle and adventure games with very little camera movement. I guess eventually I'll have to sit down with a paper Word Search and call it a day. :(

Hey, can I link that Jurassic Park picture on another forum?
