Yes, but not too busy to post a pointless comment on this article? For future reference, if you don't care about an article, just skip over it.

Not too busy to post pointless comments on unrelated Joystiq posts, though. Good for you!

Is that an analogue stick or a PSP like 'nub'?
Device looks quite nice, difficult to properly judge the graphics but Resident Evil looked excellent, at the very least on par with the Gamecube/Wii Resident Evil 4. Optimistic.

I'm already sold by the game titles 3DS are offering.

It doesn't look 3D to me, am I looking at it wrong?

If you look closely you will see that there are two images on the top screen which look slightly out of synch (very apparent in Zelda). This is what will create the 3D Effect but you cannot see it on your computer screen.

I had no idea that RE: Revelations was already in playable condition. That's awesome.

Hopefully this systems helps fade out the stylus which was what ruined what would otherwise be some good games on the first DS.

Looks so good... but in the ridge racer vid the guy's girlish screeching made me wonder if we'll all sound like that when we first try it?
Posted: Oct 29th 2010 2:01PM killdash9 said
This TV show seems to be targeted at kids, considering how overexcited the commentators are, with exactly the same reaction to every single game. The people in line behind them seem a bit annoyed at how loud they're being, too. Why can't they just talk about the games instead of gushing uncontrollably?
Also, I note that the dual images become visible to a single point of view (i.e., the camera here) when the point of view is a little off center from the 3DS. I wonder how wide the viewing angle is to be able to get the 3D effect instead of seeing double. If you're not good at holding your hands/head steady, it might get disorienting. Maybe the slide control is for varying the viewing angle (all the way down to 0 degrees, presumably).

@killdash9 I'm pretty sure it's impossible to change the viewing angle for the screens. The screen uses a fixed parallax barrier, which is basically a sheet with loads of tiny slits in it, over the top of the screen. But apparently it's not too hard to keep the console in roughly the right position.

I know you have more familiarity with Japanese culture than I do, but are you sure - ABSOLUTELY sure - that that isn't just how Japanese TV hostesses are?
Also, it seems a bit odd to promote Resident Evil on a kids' show.

Certainly, I have no idea what the slider control really does to "enhance" or turn off the 3D effect, but my hypothesis was that the parallax barrier was altered by it, either electrically or mechanically, to change the, uh, rectifying direction(s). I don't know; maybe my mental model of how the effect is achieved is way off base.
@gatotsu911
While it's definitely true that Japanese game shows and variety shows have overexcited hosts as staples, I would have expected that a show devoted to video game coverage would be more about features and news than just "Look! So cool! I want to buy!" (I'm assuming this is a show dedicated to video games, rather than something like the nightly news or a news magazine show, since these clips are so long). The coverage didn't seem well-versed in the franchises represented, which would suit a program designed to show stuff to a young, new-gamer audience. However, you do have a point about Resident Evil. Maybe it's a show targeted at more grown-up gamers but is failing in the ratings because it treats its audience like kids? :P
Also, I always figured you had more familiarity with Japanese culture than I . . . or, uh, were you being sarcastic, and I completely missed it?

You actually know Japanese, though, don't you? I just know a lot about anime and video games rather than anything, y'know, important or actually representative of everyday life in Japan. I've never even been there (though several of my family members have).
Well, that and I've watched the English-dubbed Iron Chef and/or NHK network in hotel rooms a few times. It's pretty surreal and awesome, and if I were the pot-smoking type I would wholeheartedly recommend it as something to do while high.

Well, yes, I can speak/understand/read a little Japanese, but not all that well, or quickly. While watching an episode of, say, Slayers, I'll probably understand around 70% of what they're saying; the percentage drops dramatically for things with lots of technobabble, and I can't understand news broadcasts pretty much at all. Also, I've never been to Japan, either, outside of passing through airports. Most of my exposure to the culture has been through anime and games, too, with a smattering of other "stuff" thrown in.

Well, compared to me, I could probably understand maybe - MAYBE - 5% of what is being said in any given 30 minutes of untranslated Japanese programming, so you're still ahead of me on that count. I'm working on it though.

I'm liking that smooth new animation for Zelda. The quality of the video makes it a bit difficult to judge exactly how improved the graphics are overall, though. I hope they take the opportunity to add more detail to the game's environments instead of simply copy-pasting them with better visuals.

I've got the original OoT. I've got the gamecube limited edition one (with master quest), I've got the gamecube collector's edition, and finally, I've got the VC one. And I can't wait to pay for one more copy :D
