Title: New DS?
Post by: The Glamour Nazi on March 23, 2010, 08:59:45 AM
A quote from Nintendo

Nintendo Co., Ltd. (Minami-ward of Kyoto-city, President Satoru Iwata) will launch "Nintendo 3DS" (temp) during the fiscal year ending March 2011, on which games can be enjoyed with 3D effects without the need for any special glasses.
"Nintendo 3DS" (temp) is going to be the new portable game machine to succeed "Nintendo DS series", whose cumulative consolidated sales from Nintendo amounted to 125 million units as of the end of December 2009, and will include backward compatibility so that the software for Nintendo DS series, including the ones for Nintendo DSi, can also be enjoyed.

We are planning to announce additional details at E3 show, which is scheduled to be held from June 15, 2010 at Los Angeles in the U.S.

What is your thoughts.

3D effects as in the action pops right out of the screen?  Don't need it.  I think it's an outworn gimmick best left to amusement parks and/or B list horror flicks.  It's quickly becoming overused, and I can't wait until everyone else is sick of it.

Well, it'll be the "New system" in the way that the DS was to the GBA.

I don't know... I like my games to be on the screen not in my face.... I actually would rather see things in 2d than 3d
