It's fake of course! :rolleyes:
Nobody has seen it yet.

And a touch screen would be a nice addition, but it can never replace normal buttons/sticks.

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

I've been reading that the 2 screen setup is gonna be used to show games in a "true" 3D look. Something about tricking the eye into thinking its 3D. People should be able to distinguish between a 2D GBA (next name here) and the DS. I want to wait for people's comments after E3 if this is true. I bet people will call it the biggest gimmick ever. Then Sony or MS will announce something similar and will be considered the best thing ever thought of:p But don't take anything personal. I'm just having a little fun there at the end.

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

Hehe, true 3D would be awesome! :D Virtual Boy 2 here I come!! :p

That could be how it can be used with the GB and GC... as a visualisor... :confused:

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

lol, i hope nintendo sticks true to its roots and makes it a pure gaming console, and not add music capabilities and such....nobody wants another ngage

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

heh, i also thought that it might be a 3d game, but you couldn't do it without glasses (think terminator 3d at universal)

according to cube-europe, the first game that miyamoto is working on for it is called buzz, and the system itself will cost about 149.99. (strange it being more than the cube, but eh...)

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

Tell me Crash!

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

Well, that shouldn't be a surprise it costs more then the 'Cube. The technology is newer, better (to an extent). So don't think its strange:p

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

believe it or not, i use bryce II. it's pretty much the only 3d rendering program my computer can run, plus it's easy to ....eh...BUY on the internet... ..yeah...

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

I would've liked for it to be only $100 as to keep with the tradition of Nintendo's handhelds being $100 or less. If it ends up being more than $100, so be it. But it better not be too much more.

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

Ok, I 'purchased' it online. Now how do I go about creating things like you did, coloring them, and making them move?

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

to make your own textures, you go to "edit 2d textures" and pick your own, if you go to different views, you'll see that there is a camera in there somewhere, it's shaped like a triangle, that is it. On the bottom of the view screen there is a slider bar, that is the time period, so each time you move the camera, move the bar too... play around with it and you'll learn eventually.

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

Hahahahaha...I just found that to be really funny! :D :D

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

Indeed. But sometimes we should learn not to draw attention to other people when they decide to do something i113g4< ;)

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

So um, what site did you download this software from?

I meant "buy"... really ;)

:sneaky:

Anyway... as far as the topic goes, there is no way on earth I wilkl buy that thing. Dumbest idea ever.

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

are you sure? portable 3D effect? sounds too good to be true.

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

It's already being made or already has been done with laptops. So its possible for a handheld.

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

Crash, did you have to make the skins for your rendering in a separate application and then import them into Bryce and paste them onto the figure?

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

yeah, unfortunately, doesn't come with pre-installed gameboy textures, so i used photoshop. also easy to "buy" online.

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

Here's a titch more information...

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

i read that earlier

sounds like trouble maybe

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

It sounds like this should be the followup for the GBA, except Nintendo has dumbed-down and rushed out the product to make money sooner so it wouldn't be considered the 'Next Game Boy".

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

Hehe, thanks, I already 'purchased' Photoshop earlier in the year. Anyway, now I'll try to actually make something. :)

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

yes, I have servere doubts about this product. Chances are it will sell because for some reason (like lack of worthy competition) Nintendo's handhelds sell a lot. :p

I know one thing for sure, it will out sell the other handheld that starts with an "N" even if it's the worst thing ever created.

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

are you sure? i doubt that if the virtual boy had been N-Virtual Boy it wouldn't sold much more....

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

Doesnt sound like trouble to me.

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

1. no i'm not dead.

2. i like the lcd screen idea best...then noone could bitch about bad control schemes...devs could use half the bottom screen for buttons, and half for radar or whatever..

idunno, its better than some crazy 3d double-screen dealie

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

ign posted some article about the wireless capabilities and the kinda media it'll use (think smart media cards)...eh, i'm too lazy to post it.

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

BTW we were stupid. :rolleyes: Why do you need 2 screens for 'real' 3D????? It's really unpractical, focussing 1 eye on 1 screen... You need to have 1 screen with 2 frequencies or something... Not 2 screens, doesn't work :p

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

Sharp has a 3D laptop out. It utilizes the left/right thing that can trick the eye into thinking its a 3D image. Maybe when Nintendo said it would be 2 screens, maybe its just 1 main screen that when "split up" displays in 3D. I mean, the Sharp 3D laptop has a 2D and 3D option, so it would make sense that if Nintendo was to go with what Sharp has out, a 2D/3D button would be possible.

Heres a link to what I was trying to explain

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

Sounds like you are replying to me, but I don't understand what you are trying to say.

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

You said that the name 'Nintendo' sells everything. Then he asked if the Virtual Boy would have sold if it was called 'Nintendo Virtual Boy'...
Get it now? :)

Re: The Nintendo DS
 

"I know one thing for sure, it will out sell the other handheld that starts with an "N" even if it's the worst thing ever created."

I thought what he said had somthing to do with this comment (which was geared towards N-Gage, and when he said N-Virtual Boy, well, you see the confusion)

As for Virtual boy... well, it wasn't a handheld, or a console, it was a... Virtual boy, that's why it failed ;)

DS is supposed to be a handheld made by nintendo, thus having the ability to dig into the GBA's market. If they create games for both simultaniously that could be a huge mistake.
