Nintendo 3DS

Nintendo today has announced the Nintendo 3DS, not another redesign but a brand new successor to the Nintendo DS. Some features include 3D technology without the use of 3D glasses.


Following sources has these extra tidbits:

Nikkei

- control stick instead of dpad
- rumble/force-feedback
- improved wireless speed and battery life
- accelerometer
- screen that is smaller than 4 inches
- timing on the announcement could be related to decreased software releases
- Nikkei expects release in second half of 2010

Yomiuri Shimbun

- "it is believed that the system will use a Sharp 3D LCD panel."
- this 3d tech is acheived by placing a small film on the screen, which is separated by a small space. The slight differences in the image creates the 3d effect

Mainichi Shimbun

- software developers have been briefed on the system
- third party software at launch

It is being speculated that the new gen of Pokemon games will be for 3DS as well, a few months back Gamefreak was hiring 3D modelers so I wouldn't be surprised. Gamefreak, to my knowledge, has never made a 3D pokemon game, it's always been by another company.

Its also being speculated that it will be as powerful as a gamecube and made to be designed like gamecube games, so basically a portable gamecube. Also rumored is that the dual screens will be so close together that they're practically just one giant screen.

Should be released by the end of fiscal year of march 2011.

Your thoughts?

and hoops they are the same. the screen goes from widescreen to uh vertical screen so that the screen then can divide into both the touchscreen and the normals screen, but i assume the whole thing is a touch screen, though nothing will happen when you touch the top part of a ds game were the normal screen is. just rumor pics nothing major you can hate it or love it. i reserved one for the lulz 88D

Hopefully it has some sweet launch titles. If its true that it's dev kits are similar to the gamecube then we could very well see some sweet titles. Devs know how to make GCN AND DS games, so if the 3DS is truly a portable gamecube in essence, devs should already have the hang of it.

Its gonna be the next gen handheld, not a new iteration of the DS so I'm sure it'll look different. Perhaps have similar qualities(such as being foldable) but mostly different.

Just like Gameboys changed as they evolved.
