The Nintendo DS - Page 5

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".

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

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.

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.

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

Doesnt sound like trouble to me.

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

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.

BTW we were stupid.

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

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

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

Canyarion · 01-30-2004, 04:22 PM

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?

"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.
