Sharp details new 3D screens for mobile devices

It's not like Nintendo can do any WORSE than the past two E3s

Well, E3 2009 Wasn't that bad....

Umm...yeah it was.

*cough* Vitality Sensor *cough*

Just what I was thinking Cap

Chris are you talking about the E3 they revealed a new 2D console mario on top of Galaxy 2 and a new Metroid?

Yeah I hated that too..

Those are 2 great games that I can't wait to play....but that Vitality Sensor along with the monotone soccer mom just killed it for me....along with plenty others that said they droppe the ball the second year in a row

Twee is always going to defend Ninty. I do it with Sony myself. Last years E 3 was much better but still nowhere near as good as this years should be.

The last couple Nintendo E3 Press Conferences each gave me the distinct vibe of "Hey, we know we are on top of the sales charts. We don't *need* to impress you. Here are some things that you may find cool, but if not, no big deal."

E3 2009 was slightly better than 2008. . . but I can't imagine any E3 will ever be worse than 2008.

Considering virtually all of their consoles have been consistently the cheapest on the market, I'm sure they are.

It's Bambi! Grab the gun!

Attack its weak point for massive damage!

There will be some form of obsoleteness to hold it back.

Though they should stick to carts, that's for sure.

It's going to be powered by blowing into it.

You sure would hope so, wouldn't you Blight?

I'm not a huge fan of Nintendo or their gaming strategy with the Ds & Wii. That much is obvious. But, in this case they deserve to be lauded, applauded and praised. As much as I despise their general direction this 3DS is a huge financial risk and placates my need for bleeding edge technology. Details are scant at this point. But, even if it's nothing more than a DSi with 3D it's still awesome and I'm VERY much excited to see it's applications for gaming. If it fails then so be it but at least their talking a huge chance and doing something that has me genuinely interested.

Is this a brand new system with higher (above psp) system specs or is it another DS revision? Either way I'm still excited. As people know invasion supporter of 3-D in the home and the fact this doesn't require glasses is HUGE. That's the main barrier with 3-D besides cost of entry (new tv) : having to wear glasses. Doesn't bother me personally but I can see it being a hinderance to others. If this 3DS succeeds expect it to help 3-D adoption rates and if it fails it'll hurt the momentum of 3D tech.

I'm more likely to buy a new DS with 3-D than a HDTV at this point. I think Ninty wants to keep this thing priced affordably so I don't expect high end specs and a new media format.

Dead Space DS in 3D!

Now we're talkin!

Luigi's Mansion 2: E.Gadd not again!!, plz

Games that would be cool in 3D:

Dead Space, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Clock Tower, Mario (SM64 style), Metroid...

You know, let me just save myself and say that all current 3D games would look better with this kind of 3D as long as no headaches are involved. I don't count 2D games though. 2.5D? Sure. 2D? No.

Im pretty terrified by the deer game they're showing.

Okay, the 3DS has the new tegra chip in it, right? Then imagine WIND WAKER IN 3D! It would be -really- awesome. Timeless graphics + 3D = a game for the ages.

The funny thing is my good eye is 15 and my bad eye is 35
So I can see extremely well, and enjoy 2D just fine, but I don't go to 3D movies, since I will be paying extra for a non-exsistant experience.

Is there a way to fix your problem?

Is that why you look so angry in your avatar?

My wife's friend was a preemie and has a lazy eye also. She can see out of both eyes, but never at the same time. She had some kind of surgery to try and fix it, but was only partially successful. Sometimes she can see out of both eyes, sometimes just one.

She was a little freaked out the first time both eyes worked at the same time. She said that she was looking at one of those body wash poofs, and it suddenly seemed to pop out at her!

A friend of mine had his lazy eye fixed. The doctor pulls the wandering eye inward to cross them and then somehow makes it stick there. He went from lazy eye to cross--eyed, then the cross straightens out a over time. It was odd, though. I knew him for around 20 years with the lazy eye. Took a while to get used to him not being that way anymore. lol. Sounded like a fairly simple procedure, though.

I can have surgery to correct the musculature, but my brain already compensated by making the visual information from my left eye override my right.
So I might never properly get stereoscopic vision again.

I do fine without it, only time it bothers me when I need to catch a pop-fly in baseball or when I am sitting in a 3D movie and everyone is oooh-ing, and I just sit there going WTF. :(

Vitality Sensor+Wii Sports Resort+Cammie=Fail.

^Except for the part where Nintendo made bank on Wii Sports Resort.

Any reason you're douching up the comments here Blight? Or are you always an ass?

@Blight

Hey I don't even know if you'll read this but sorry for attacking you like that. I just find it uncalled for when people hate on the Vitality Sensor. I mean we don't even know who it's aimed at or how it will be used.

Also Cammie does fail so...yeah.

"Except for the part where Nintendo made bank on Wii Sports Resort."

As a consumer I really don't give half a shit if Nintendo makes money. That part affects me in no way whatsoever.

Only really useful stuff that it can be used for are games and the occasional 3D-based app like Google maps. You can't tell me that browsing street view in 3D wouldn't be anything short of amazing.
