Thanks Grail!
I'm really considering to one of these new DSs. At first I was pissed at the lack of GBA/GBC support but I realized I have a GBA SP in my bottom drawer of my nerd drawer. I would really like to replay the CV games on a bigger screen. If anyone is interested in getting a good deal let me know. I may even toss in Metal Slug 7 and Elite Beat Agents.
Re: Nintendo 3DS
But the combination of gyroscope/motion sensing + 3D + vastly upgraded hardware sounds like an instant purchase to me.
I wonder how they'll showcase the hardware at E3, as in, what new game will implement the features and become the company's next must-have game. Nintendo has already spammed Mario in the past 2 years, but that doesn't necessarily exclude a new Mario game, and the DS just released a new title last year with a Wii title expected this year sometime... Kirby?
Yeah, I'm also not very excited about the prospect of 3D games. The idea of it alone doesn't entice me, and I don't think I'll be interested in that factor until I see a decent application of the technology.Aazealh said:Well that certainly is intriguing. I can't say I'm very interested in 3D technology, but my old NDS needs a replacement anyway.I wonder why they decided to announce it now instead of waiting until the E3 though.

Re: Nintendo 3DS
Indeed. Given the NDS' success this has almost unlimited potential.
Good question... Pikmin 3?

Sharp shows off the screen technology that could be in the next DS:

Sounds ... complicated. If it's beaming two images, one into each eye, it sounds like a pretty precision job, so I wonder if glasses and sunglasses could interfere.
Let's see someone try to make an emulator for that. 
But I wonder if we'll be able to choose to play the games without 3D, or if it'll be integrated in the game itself instead of just a gimmick to make it look better. I've had some eye problems in the past and the 3D effects used on theaters hurt my eyes, so these things always worry me.

As I understand it, it'll have to be programmed into the game. Not just a cheap gimmick. Maybe they'll have an option to apply a "fake 3D effect" to every game but that would just be a side thing (like how the PS3 upscales the resolution of PS2 games).
I think removing the 3D glasses factor will help alleviate the strain on eyes caused by previous 3D methods.
And yeah, like me and Aaz were talking about a few days ago, this level of 3D is basically uncharted territory. Games shown in a virtual 3D space have been the standard since Mario 64. But we only saw that through a 2D lens. Shifting that lens to 3D opens many new doors.
