Nintendo Announces 3DS

[BreakABone]

I got to say I nerded out when I saw that Sharp was adding a yellow to their TVs. Granted, we'd have to get new equipment, I would assume.

And just for the record, I believe Avatar: The Game is actually in 3D so its been done on consoles before, just not well.

I know Sony is patching the PS3 to support it, and so far I know Super Stardust HD is one of the games that will support it.

And I think that 3D could possibly work if done like the video, and not actually having you in 3D, if that makes sense.

Well, despite yours and Vamp's opinions, I think the sales numbers of Avatar clearly show that most people are still impressed by 3D.

Wait wait wait wait.
Hold the train.
Are you comparing the 3DS to Avatar?
Because two major differences I can point out:

3DS will be over 100 dollars.
Avatar was 18.
3DS has a screen a few inches wide.
Avatar's was stories high.

Not to mention Avatar wasn't '3D', it was a new technology James Cameron invented; so to actually compare the visuals of the two expecting Avatar-esque 3D in a handheld that will most likely give no more than a Goosebumps holographic keychain circa 1994 image is sort of funny.

The only point I am making bringing up Avatar is that its sales clearly show that consumers are ready for 3D.

I haven't experience the film-3D myself, and neither have you. From what I've read from reviews of the Fuji cameras, though, is that it looks pretty damn good when it works.

And I'm not sure how you think Avatar wasn't 3D... yes, Cameron invented or had invented a lot of the stuff to make the visuals in his movie as amazing as they were, but it's still 3D...

This isn't from the 3DS, but a simple example of how 3D can possibly work I guess

I dont have a problem with it

That's terrible. It hurt my eyes and it wasn't 3D enough. And how would we need a new console for this, we can do it on the DS already.

If it's a cheap and sorry trick like this, Nintendo will lose a lot of hype.

[Bube]

I was actually very impressed by that!

Seems like it may be slated for an October release, which is rather early.

Especially since the other DS-es have launched in off-months if not mistaken
