Re: Launch of New Portable Game Machine
Nintendo Co., Ltd. (Minami-ward of Kyoto-city, President Satoru Iwata) will launch "Nintendo 3DS"(temp) during the fiscal year ending March 2011, on which games can be enjoyed with 3D effects without the need for any special glasses.
"Nintendo 3DS"(temp) is going to be the new portable game machine to succeed "Nintendo DS series", whose cumulative consolidated sales from Nintendo amounted to 125million units as of the end of December 2009, and will include backward compatibility so that the software for Nintendo DS series, including the ones for Nintendo DSi, can also be enjoyed.
We are planning to announce additional details at E3 show, which is scheduled to be held from June 15, 2010 at Los Angeles in the U.S.
I'd rather have Nintendo focus on online gaming and better graphics instead of gimmicks like this.
I haven't seen any videos or anything (I'm not even sure a video can give any ideas about a 3D system), but I bet that this will make people nauseous. I hope it doesn't turn out like the Virtual Boy.

O Ye of little faith.
I think Nintendo saw the 3DTV thing coming and decided to hop on the bandwagon. I don't know how exactly it works, but I'd guess we'll find out soon enough.

At this point in the game, I don't thiknk nintendo has a choice on whether or not to focus on these things. Those two factors are what kept nintendo back in this generation's console war. However, I'm far more interested in nintendo's new future offering than either Sony or Microsoft's. Simply because while Sony and Microsoft tend to follow tried and true formulas for consoles while injecting new ideas via games, Nintendo tends to keep the story formula congruent with its past, while providing new ways to play the same story.
As for the 3d sans glasses I'll believe it when I see it. The only way that I see it working is with an attachable headpiece which tracks where your head is. That being said, if I wanted to look like a tool, I'd just go pick up a Miley Cyrus album and save myself the trouble.

This is a ridiculously bad idea.
Almost as bad as everyone is claiming the Sony Motion Dildo/Wand to be.

To be honest, these were the factors that gave Nintendo a huge boost at the beginning of the generation.
Well, looking at the Sharp tech and Fuji's products, it does indeed look to be possible to do 3D without glasses. I wonder if any of Fuji's products are out at stores so I can test drive them...
If 3D works right (as in, Pandora-right), it's hardly a gimmick.
And jeez Typhoid, troll much? Even your lover-boys at Sony are making all of their products 3D-enabled.

I don't love one system more than another. I just believe in objectivity when it comes to thinking what is good and what isn't.
A 3d handheld device? That seems like a really dumb idea in practice. In concept, it's a good idea. 3D anything is a good idea.
But a 3D handheld is such a dumb idea. It won't get off the ground more than just fanboys buying it up right away just to have one.

Please explain. Why is 3D a dumb idea for a handheld? Because I honestly don't see where you're coming from.
Because of the price it will most likely be, and the fact 3d games for homes hasn't been tested yet.
I'm not saying people won't buy it. But to do it on a hand held first, opposed to an actual system is entirely backwards now.
It's like releasing a portable blu-ray player before blu-ray players for homes have been released, or put on the market. Would that sell? Sure. But would millions of people drop tons of money for something that hasn't been proven to be popular or generally accepted at that point? Probably not.
I didn't mean to say it was a dumb idea altogether. I even said on paper it's a great idea. I just meant to do it first is a dumb idea.
