i have a good rendering of that animation, i just need someone to host it for me. it will be rendering all night, so we'll see in the morning!

edit: here it is

Nice render!! That's the best one yet, but I don't really see the use of rotating the screens. Unless it has a camera.

And DsH, I think IGN says that this is just one of the new features...

Not too bad Crash.

Last night I got a good idea for the GBA and the DS. They are something like the Palm and the Pocket PC. The Palm has been out longer, but technology isn't as advanced (no pun intended). But with the Pocket PC, its newer and has more flashy stuff. People usually should be able to distinguish between the 2 (unless a rep can help them). So people shouldn't always get confused between the GBA and the DS. The DS will probably be something like $100-$150 (but i might be a little conservative, who knows). So people should just look at it and know its not a GBA. Nintendo can't be stupid enough to make them so similar that the average idiot game buying consumer ie: Mom, grandma, grandpa, possibly Dad can't see the difference.

wow that IS a good rendition crash

but kinda wide dont you think??

Shadow Fox · 01-25-2004, 02:05 PM

Damn Crash- fix the movement on your camera, lol...

Anyways, I have a strong feeling that Nintendo will have MANY more PRIMARY uses for this thing that we've been let known about.

E3, indeed, seems further away by the minute.

I'm saying that if they don't release a new Gameboy to directly compete with the PSP, they're going to lose the handheld market (in my opinion). This is a handheld, whether or not this is the new Gameboy. And if Nintendo is delaying the next Gameboy during this device's lifetime, that's going to be a problem. However, if they're going to be running two handhelds at the same time, they're going to confuse people and possibly shoot themselves in the foot.

I don't know what to say. Everywhere I look I see problems. There are a dozen ways Nintendo could do this and each way I look I see a problem. Only time will tell how Nintendo will do this, but I'll remain skeptical until I see some results.

brings back memories of the virtual boy.

if nintendo would directly compete with sony or microsoft they would crush them. but they dont care they just keep comming out with ideals instead of finished proudcts. thats why sony is outselling them.

Yoda9864 · 01-26-2004, 02:23 AM

I'm scared that this might become another virtual boy. I really like the concept of it, and I"m sure once they unveil it at E3, It'll grow on me some more.

I don't like the idea of Nintendo having two handhelds on the market at the same time though. I'm afraid it'll split the market between GBA and the DS. That wouldn't be bad if they were from two different companies, but since they are both from Nintendo, it could create problems. Of course, this could be avoided if the DS could play GBA games.

But I guess we'll see at E3 where this goes.

Crash, what do you use to make those renderings? Can you tell me the software you use, I want to make renderings.

It's fake of course!

Nobody has seen it yet.

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

Jonbo298 · 01-26-2004, 08:00 AM

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

But don't take anything personal. I'm just having a little fun there at the end.

Canyarion · 01-26-2004, 10:20 AM

Hehe, true 3D would be awesome!

Virtual Boy 2 here I come!!

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

GiMpY-wAnNaBe · 01-26-2004, 11:26 AM

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

Crash · 01-26-2004, 03:24 PM

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...)
