Either a rumor or another thing I can't afford to buy, and would be rather pointless anyways.

Not 3D again...
Didn't they learn something fromt the Virtual Boy?

I just hope this won't be another flop like Virtual Boy

Hmmmm... Interesting, I'm wondering if it's a tilt the ds and the in-game element will adjust themselves accordingly in proper perspective, as in tilt the ds back wards to look up a girls skirt or whatever. I'll be getting one at launch none the less.

Classic example Steve, you get that from other games?

Looks real. Looks much better than Virtual Boy but still very gimmicky. Although I said the same thing about the Wii-mote.

Some demos and other details

I think this looks better

It is using "parallax barrier LCD". I saw a demo monitor with this last year and it wasn't too impressive. But the demo in the youtube video looked better.

this is "different", here's the CNN article

The video I posted above includes a clip of "3D Hidden Picture". It is a Japan only DSi game. Not a 3DS demo. It uses the DSi's camera to track movement and do 3D simulation.

I think using parallax barrier LCD was misinformation and it will use a more advanced camera to do 3D the same way as the DSi already can in 3D Hidden Picture but better. So I think 3DS = DSi with better camera and more games that take advantage of it.

This is real.

-DS and DSi backwards compatable.
-No glasses needed
-Built in accelerometer
-Tech specs are comparable to a GameCube.

I would love to be playing this, but what do you mean by backwards compatible?

**nikegirl2012** · 03-23-2010, 08:06 PM

If I already get motion sensor with the current "3D" games... I'm not sure I'm going to like these new ones...

**Kugyince** · 03-23-2010, 08:31 PM

I mean the 3DS will play DS and DSi games as well.

The 3D can also be turned off and on meaning there will be 2D games for it as well.

**nikegirl2012** · 03-23-2010, 09:14 PM

yay!!! That makes me happier... so now, instead of buying a DS I'll just wait for the 3DS
