Nintendo is making a fourth DS

Yeah. This time with a way to show 3D images without needing glasses. What does that mean, stereograms?

Re: Nintendo is making a fourth DS

I don't think this is even possible without a hologram or glasses or something.

Re: Nintendo is making a fourth DS

I think you need to play at a certain distance away from you for 3D though; it will be something annoying like that.

Yeah probably....

Why can't they just update the dsi? The make it and about 8 months later they make the same one just with biggar screens so I'm stuck with the "old" one. People who are on budgets can't keep up.

Re: Nintendo is making a fourth DS

I heard about this. They'll officially announce it at E3 this year.

Given the limits of 3D technology, there's not many options for them to use. If it uses stereograms or glasses, it's pretty much guaranteed to fail, so I doubt they would do that. It's possible they could just use a "layered" screen to display graphics in front of each other, but that would make the depth really limited.

So... it should be interesting to see how this works.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Smashing.

I hope it won't just be another one of the same console with same hardware with little additions like the DSi and DS Lite.

Re: Nintendo is making a fourth DS

Maybe it won't be exactly 3D

it could just be the "2D-3D" (I guess thats what its called  tongue ) Like it just looks 3D but it's not really popping out at you..

It said something like a sensor that finds the players point of view.

Correct.

That's just a normal DS game - using face recognition.

I wonder how this new DSi will do 3D stuff, assuming it's not face recognition like this game.

Yet I still think that's cool...Darn! Yet another reason I want DSi.

Find the recipt. But the 3DS will probably be released in a while since usually when someone announces a console it's usually a while before the release it.

Re: Nintendo is making a fourth DS

The DSi XL is already out?

In my opinion, it was a fail, slightly bigger screen, and a pen that blocks your view of the game. (Trust me, I'v had one.)

Then, prepare for failure. The fourth addition to the DS line of handheld game consoles is named DSi XL. It's pretty much just an DSi with a larger screen. But hopefully, Nintendo will make a completely new version of the DS sooner or later.

3DS is also a program, and 3DO was a game console.

No, from what I heard the 3DS is going to be a completely different handheld council. It is going to be announced for sure at a E3 thing later this year.

Re: Nintendo is making a fourth DS

One thing that I do not understand is why game developers are spending so much money into the 3D gaming technology. Normal 3D graphics are fine but the type that you need glasses to see, in my thought are one of the biggest scams. Then again, nowadays all they care about is Money.
