Nintendo 3DS Revealed!
 
Yes, just recently Nintendo released an image of the Nintendo 3DS:

Nintendo 3DS (Grey)

So, what do you think of this?

Sydian June 15th, 2010 11:44 AM

Moving to Other Games. This section is only for Pokemon games, not just consoles and whatnot.

Åzurε June 15th, 2010 11:50 AM

I'm liking the control layout. Right now I can't think of anything really bad to say about it, so there you go.

Jolene June 15th, 2010 11:53 AM

There is going to be an Ocarina of Time remake on it

Ocarina of Time Remake
Star Fox 64 Remake
Street Fighter 4 Remake
Snake Eater Remake
Paper Mario
Whole bunch of other awesome games
Dang it, Nintendo. Quit being so wonderful. I ain't made of money.
Also, Nintendo won E3.

Heh, can I get an "Amen"?

Still sad to see no Black and White news. The Black 3DS is my favorite. Hopefully, it's matte instead of glossy.

Captain Fabio June 15th, 2010 12:07 PM

Depending on the price, I may or may not get it.
It is more of a 'watch this space' for me.

SilverStilletto June 15th, 2010 12:18 PM

ooh, do i see an analog pad? that could be interesting. never seen one of those on a Nintendo handheld before... or at least, i havent. i like the red one~ but then, i like me electronics red. i hope its glossy~

Pokémon Ranger ✩ Moriarty June 15th, 2010 12:19 PM

I am reserving myself a red 3DS the moment they hit the stores. I think they said at the Conference late 2010? That basically means Christmas. Happy Christmas to me!

But yeah, I'm a little peeved they didn't show more of the physical console at the Conference for people who were live-streaming, but it looked nicely-built, compact, and sturdy. I can't wait to hear more details about its games...Kid Icarus looks brilliant, as do Mario Kart and Nintendogs & Cats, but I'm in the market for some RPG's. O:

Luck June 15th, 2010 12:22 PM

There's something I really don't like about it. The assymmetry normally isn't a problem, but I'm bothered by how the top screen dwarves the touch screen. They also could've made it easier to grasp, but I'm not complaining that much since it wasn't particularly hard to grasp in the first place. The analog stick should be better than the PSP hopefully. It looks dull otherwise, but let's hope it won't be the next virtual boy.

Lol, if remakes and Mario are all it takes too woo you, then Nintendo basically won every E3 conference since those are the only good things they're coming out with these days.

The asymmetry sort-of bothers me too now that I study the pictures, but I wonder if you just get used to it whilst playing?

Sydian June 15th, 2010 12:25 PM

It had me at Ocarina of Time remake.

lx_theo June 15th, 2010 12:26 PM

Well I have to get it now, because Paper Mario is in my top three game series. It'll be worth it. I wasn't planning before, but now, I feel obligated because of that one game.

Storm_has_formed June 15th, 2010 12:27 PM

well as long as i can play Golden Sun, i'm fine :)
and other RPG's too...

GunSaberSeraph June 15th, 2010 12:29 PM

I'm really interested in the new Kid Icarus game. Its about time that series got some attention. The 3DS is already getting a solid line-up.

Jolene June 15th, 2010 12:35 PM

It's made by Nintendo. That's your problem, right?

I want the new Nintendogs game and Paper Mario as well because Paper Mario has always been like a pop-up book so it would be good in 3D. I don't think that Kid Icarus looks very good though I saw the trailer and it is nothing like the original Kid Icarus.

The original Kid Icarus looked like this.



I doubt anyone would approve of that. ;] And they were using Pit's Brawl design. It looks good on him. "Eager" describes it fairly well. As far as actual gameplay goes, my only worry is that it'll end up playing kinda like that one Star Fox.

.Awesome June 15th, 2010 12:43 PM

Are these for real? They look awesome. I especially like the blue 3DS.

Sylveon June 15th, 2010 12:50 PM

I am liking the look of this! Maybe I will get it :D

Okay I think it looks fun but it's like a completely different type of game to the original. I think it's good that they brought the series back though. Maybe they brought it back because a lot of people found out about Kid Icarus because of Super Smash Bros. That's how I found out about it, and then I downloaded it on the Virtual Console!

Rich Boy Rob June 15th, 2010 1:21 PM

I'm definitely getting the blue one. I like the new analogue stick and addition of a home button, but I think the new locations of the Start/Select buttons could be slightly annoying. Also the fact they've flipped the side that the power button is on will probably annoy me to begin with, but that's just cause I'm used to DSi.

Corvus of the Black Night June 15th, 2010 1:33 PM

I won't be getting a 3DS, just because 3D burns my eyes.

Kid Icarus though... I'm a huge KI fan so I had a huge fangasm when I saw those pretty screens. I'm interested to see how the gameplay comes out - I doubt it'll be anything like the original Kid Icarus but they might implement certain elements to make it more interesting.

Monoeyes o.o

Despite not being fully related to the 3DS, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn looks awesome too. I can't wait to get my hands on these games.

Jolene June 15th, 2010 1:43 PM

You can turn the 3D off it you don't want it.

Corvus of the Black Night June 15th, 2010 1:57 PM

Well if that's the case why would I waste my money buying it? :/

Sydian June 15th, 2010 2:05 PM

You know, if they're bringing Kid Icarus back, then I will hope and pray Earthbound/Mother gets revived.

You had to go and say that, didn't you? That's gonna be in my brain until it actually happens. Now I'm imagining what they could do with the trippy backgrounds plus 3D effects. @[email protected]

Barney. June 15th, 2010 2:10 PM

Before the show, I wasn't interested at all. BUT NOW OMFGAGSDGHSFGHHJKJKF.

I'm so ****ing excited, Kid Icarus? Ocarina of Time? Snake Eater!? AAAAAHHHHH

Captain Fabio June 15th, 2010 2:15 PM

I am really interested in getting my hands on it somewhere to see what it is like.
They are bigging it up to be amazing, so I have to see it for myself before I can really comment on it.

I would prefer it to be the size of the XL though, as I doubt I could go back to that size, since I own a XL.

Heart's Soul June 15th, 2010 2:19 PM

Possibly two Kingdom Hearts games make my friend happy.
Possibly two Final Fantasy games make me happy.

We then realized that the games are spin-offs.

Anyway, Ura Zelda 3DS is NOT known. This may be a tech demo, we may not get this game. Nintendo said nothing about it, but Star Fox 64 3D is that both me and my friend want. Besides, 70 games are being made right now, who DOESN'T WANT THAT?

Sorry, Mother is NOT on the list. It's around the size of a DSi, maybe XL.

Jolene June 15th, 2010 2:20 PM

It won't be the size of an XL. Those were made for people with bad eyesight.

Well, the screen won't. It's only 3.5" (top) and around 3" (bottom).

I saw the E3 announcement... live.

EDIT: Thank you!

Blackhebrew2 June 15th, 2010 2:23 PM

Im slightly confused is this going to be a completely new console with no ties ins to the original ds or is it going to be ANOTHER extra ds.

I dont mean to spoil
the party but its getting out of hand. And people are buying them all. Its kinda scary how much people will spend on games/consoles.

While I understand it may be some peoples passion and love. Alot of casual gamers will pick it up and it will begin to collect dust. Its rather sickening

All my uncles aunts friends etc. buy the newest version all the time. I still have my phat ds. I love it but I dont see the reason of buying an upgraded ds if this one can do all the same things albeit a few.

Please don't flame me I'm entitled to my opinion and so are you. So I would love to hear the other side of the arguement.

Well, the other side of the argument is that this is (going to be) a new system with it's own games. It'll still play DS cards, but it's not just a DS.
If somebody buys a system and doesn't play it, that's their business.

Well, aside the 3D aspect, the 3DS also offers massively improved graphics. And the titles that are coming out for it all look very interesting. So if you're not into 3D (like me) you still have several incentives there.

You're a star! Games that interest me:

Etrian Odyssey, Shin Megami Tensei, Resident Evil: Revelations, Professor Layton, Animal Crossing, Kid Icarus, Nintendogs & Cats, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Batman franchise (please be a non-Lego game that doesn't suck!) and Assassin's Creed.

There you are, Corvidae. That's plenty of reasons, even with the 3D dubiousness. :D

It's DS in name only - Dual Screen. Everything else has been upgraded and improved, the 3D functionality has been added, and 3DS games won't be able to work on a normal DS or DSi console. So it's pretty much what the GameBoy Advance was to th GameBoy/GBC. And pretty much every Nintendo fan owned a GameBoy Advance, despite it still being called GameBoy.

Corvus of the Black Night June 15th, 2010 3:45 PM

Aw, damn, I feel so stupid now. The 3DS is backwards compatible with other DS games, not the games themselves >_>

I'll NEED to get a 3DS now. Ah well. The list of titles already is a good reason to pick it up.

Yes. >:) It would be amazing. I really hope they do this, seeing that other games are making a comeback. Didn't I see Star Fox 64 remake? Doin' a barrel roll for that one, I tell ya.

Ohh, this thing has grabbed my heart again! OoT remake and a Kingdom Hearts game? I feel like a 10 year old girl swooning over Justin Beiber!

Agent Clank June 15th, 2010 5:19 PM

I would love to buy this :D
but I know Its going to cost alot :(
I would get The blue one cause I love the color blue.
the reason I would get it would be for The Paper Mario remake!

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 15th, 2010 5:27 PM

I want to buy one! I want the blue one:) I want it so I can play the KH game and the FF game in the list of upcoming titles for it and in case gen 5's third version or the Hoenn remakes are on it if the gen 6 games are...

vietazn654 June 15th, 2010 5:33 PM

I totally love the blue one! And is that an analog stick or something?

Storm_has_formed June 15th, 2010 5:38 PM

does Nintendo enjoy keeping me poor? When i saw the list of games in development, i knew that its gonna be a spending year...

As much as I hate Nintendo for sucking the **** of the casual gamer so hard that otherwise mediocre games are treated as gems just because they're violent(see: Madworld), I will be honest and say that they made one of the best handheld systems. I don't know why I hate this. Maybe it's the fact that it took Nintendo 6 years to think of putting an analog stick and crappy novelty 3D on their DS. Maybe they had less time since they were obviously too busy working redesigning the DS instead of making a successor.

Also, I'm wondering what the hell the home button is for. The DSi had it so you could just lightly press the power button and you would go to the main screen. Unless they plan on making "home" something completely different, they could've just done that.

I'm pretty sure the DSiXL was made to appease the older audiences above all else.

Niprop June 15th, 2010 7:10 PM

I'll wait for the next revi...Aww, nah, I'll just get this model, and all the other models after that, like I always do! And the games to launch are well, awesome!

Yamikarasu June 15th, 2010 7:13 PM

I have a feeling I'll be camping out for this one. I camped outside the store for the Wii, and this just looks a thousands times better. The only problem I have with the 3DS is that it has such a glossy finish. I had hoped that had gone out of style with the DS Lite. :/

... I don't think its a remake.

Hibaru June 15th, 2010 7:36 PM

Holy Love!!! Those are Great! Too bad there weren't Purple. But I'll choose the Red one! I also like Red! My friend probably choose Blue. Thanks for the Information buddy! :D

SIN1488 June 15th, 2010 7:51 PM

YES! I was just thinking that they need to make another Paper Mario with the old formula, with turn-based battles and such. And I hope the Ocarina of Time remake is true.....

As for the 3DS itself, I like the fact that it has an analog stick, but I'm not too sure on the placement of the power on/off button. It's not as bad as the one on the OG DS, but it seems to easy to press if you are getting to into a game. Maybe I'm wrong, but there's nothing wrong with making it a bit smaller.

Harmonie June 15th, 2010 8:46 PM

An Animal Crossing that looks like they actually got off of the couch to make, an Paper Mario in the style of the first two fantastic Paper Mario titles, an Ocarina Of Time remake signifying that handheld Zelda's are being taken to the next level. (in other words no more/less top-down style Zelda's)

So impressive it's mind-blowing! (and it made me squeal. xD)

Also excited for the Kingdom Hearts game, because yeah I like that series. ^_^

I might have to check out the Kid Icarus game as well. Not at the top of my list, though. However, it must be noted that it was a huge shock to me. I did not think that Project Sora was Kid Icarus for even a second.

Mario Kart 3DS will be a must-buy, but it's not really showing anything too impressive to me. Very likely as it should be, though. Just make great tracks again and tone down the items and it will be another great Mario Kart.

They haven't even released the release date for the 3DS. Don't count on any of the game's release dates being shown for a while now.

Myles June 15th, 2010 11:14 PM

I'm really looking forward to Paper Mario, Animal Crossing and the Zelda remake.

I'm not sure what colour is best though. Blue seems good, but sort of clashes a bit. Maybe grey...

Ninja Caterpie June 15th, 2010 11:22 PM

Final Fantasy Tactics 3D NAO. :D

But what interests me most (and has no one seen this!?) is this:

Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracles

:O :O :O :O MORE LAYTON.

...but this is going to make me poor. =( Being a new system with backwards compatibility, it'll make me feel like I wasted my money on my DS Lite. =(

Depends when you got it. I got a DSi about half a year ago.

vibratingcat June 16th, 2010 12:24 AM

i still dont get why they rushed black and white, and didnt wait for the 3ds.
But that list is amazing. I knew the 3ds was going to be awesome, just cause its a next gen nintendo handheld, but i never would have thought nintendo was going to take over e3. By the look and sound of the resi evil, capcom made a switch from psp to 3ds. Although i never thought much of 3d, thinking about all those awesome games in it is awesome!

lx_theo June 16th, 2010 12:25 AM

I think you can turn off the 3D, so that's another up.

I only got my DSi XL this April, but if they announce the 3DS is arriving in 2010 then I'm there. It is an entirely new console, after all. :3

No. There are predictions for either next spring or this fall (to combat Move and Kinect). But those have no trustworthy basis.

Alex_ June 16th, 2010 3:40 AM

I've heard from some people who aren't being paid to give good reviews that the 3D is really sucky and it just makes you go cross-eyed. For now 3D is best left with the glasses on.

Those 'some people' being...who, exactly? Or are we into the realms of 'my third cousin's girlfriend's boyfriend's brother's house-mate read on the internet'?

I'll take his word for it.

I've also read from a few different articles that you have to keep your head really still while playing or else you don't get the 3D completely, which could get tedious.

Heart's Soul June 16th, 2010 6:04 AM

Maybe we should just lock this thread and make a sticky called the "Nintendo 3DS Discussion" (if fonts work, then this is it!) Anyway, new question-

What games do you want to buy when the 3DS comes out?

For me it's the following-
Ocarina of Time 3D
Star Fox 64 3D
Paper Mario 3DS
Mario Kart 3DS
Kid Icarus: Uprising (maybe)

Also, there are talks about SSB for the 3DS.

lx_theo June 16th, 2010 6:08 AM

Paper Mario, and probably Mario kart the rest are more bleh.

Super Smash Bros. would be beast though.

Heart's Soul June 16th, 2010 6:14 AM

I've also read from a few different articles that you have to keep your head really still while playing or else you don't get the 3D completely, which could get tedious.

Uh...you say it's rubbish because of Philip DeFranco? Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, but he's hardly 'some people'. He is in fact 'a person' who adores Sony IIRC. :|

The 3DS interests me but... idk, I love 3D in the theatres and my family has agreed that as soon as an (affordable) TV comes out that can do 3D without the glasses, we'll be buying one, but I'm not overly pumped for the 3DS. :/ I'm not even sure why.

I am already looking forward to the games on it. Specifically the new Paper Mario omg. Back to its turn-based roots (after the abomination that was SPM) and eeeeee. :> Guess I'm also looking forward to the Kingdom Hearts game but since it shows KH1 Sora & Riku, I'm having issues with where it fits into canon and thus have no confidence that it's not going to be a useless spinoff for the sake of printing money. :(

Sorry, I didn't mean to be so critical. I just can't credit one opinion in the face of hundreds, most of them from professional technology bloggers...but hey, I might be completely wrong and PhillyD completely right. We'll have to wait and see (:

It's just I hold the opinion of someone who seems down-to-earth and real to higher regard than of some professional tech blogger who is more interested in the specs and technical side of things rather than the overall playability of it.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ June 16th, 2010 7:27 AM

I want to see some anime-style RPG's. Once I do, and they're exclusive to 3DS, then I'll consider picking it up.

But there's no point in buying a game device, no matter how impressive the specs are (and they seem quite impressive) if none of the games on it capture my interest.

3DS is still something I'm keeping my eye on, though...

Did you see the trailer where the nintendo creators get sucked in the 3DS? Did you see the bowser bit? Is that gonna be a real game? I hope it will be :D


The graphics looks absolutally amazing! Have you seen the trailer for the Kid guys game? Thats Wii like graphics right there... or atleast PS2 or gamecube ?

When he stated that you had to go cross-eyed for the 3D effect, he lost all credibility. While true, it's effectiveness is different for different people, stating something like that as fact for everybody instantly says that he knows very little about what he is talking about, especially when that's not how the tech works at all (read: directing an image into each eye). Plus, although on a different note, he's a vlogger on YouTube. What makes him more down to earth than any tech blogger like Joshua Topolsky? These tech bloggers aren't paid for praising a company when they go to an event like E3, they are just paid to go and report on what they see. They will throw their opinions into their articles, sure, but that's it.

I'm not one to deny someone their opinion, but when some things are wrong, it holds no water to me.

As for the design of the console, I like it. The only thing I really don't like is the black bezel around the 3D screen. It's probably meant to keep your attention up to the 3D screen and prevent you from losing track of sight on your game, but it's kind of ugly. Only a small nitpick, though, as I do like the rest of the aesthetics. The headphone port in the middle of the console is really nifty, though.

The 3D is a little bit of a concern for me, as I have ptosis and some other eye conditions that usually prevent me from seeing 3D stuff correctly, but if it works, then I'm good to go. Otherwise, oh well, I'm not crying a river over something that can be turned off.

The game lineup so far, though, looks great, even for a console that hasn't launched yet. No wonder why the DS lost it's stream of good games last year. For launch, I'll probably end up getting (if available, of course), Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, and Paper Mario.

But if you get one, which color would you choose?
-I'm going with gray.

Initially I was all keyed up for the red version, but whenever I see it compared with the blue version I usually end up preferring the blue. I'll wait to see store demo models, but I'm pretty sure I'll get the blue version. :>

Well it looks to me as if the only part that's glossy is the top half of the inside, not the whole thing.

Well it's already canon because it's simply a remake of a Japan only game, so that won't be a problem. If you are wondering, it takes place after KHII. As for the useless spin-off, I think it's along the lines of what Re: Chains of Memories was to Chains of Memories, basically a streamlined, graphically improved version.

They should put an infrared distance sensor on the front of the 3DS to auto-adjust the 3D focus.

At first I really didn't like the design of the 3DS, but within, like... an hour, this is pretty much what was running through my mind. I mean, the games alone are incentive enough to want this system. And the blue 3DS!!! It's so beautiful... it looks like candy. I really just want to lie down with it and cuddle. xD

Also, I've had every version of the DS so far, except the XL. I am a proud DS fangirl. 8Dv

This here. Or something like it. They're keeping the camera on the inside from the DSi, so it doesn't seem to be too much of a stretch. It would be a very welcome addition, judging from what I hear about the sweetspot thing.

I think I'll be building up an extra couple hundred dollars for whenever it does come out. Does anybody know when that is yet?

IT PRINTS MONEY!!!

I showed this picture to a friend and she actually thought the DS REALLY printed money, rofl. It didn't help that, after realizing her gullibility, I even explained how it worked. XD


Haza June 17th, 2010 3:15 AM

I'm actually completely in love with it. I'm ready for something new and imagine the possibilities with Metroid Prime Hunters on this thing. I'm getting the red one the day they are released in the states.

Cherrim June 17th, 2010 4:36 AM

They haven't announced a price range yet, have they? I imagine it'll be around the $200 mark. Possibly more, since the DSi XL still retails for $200 and why they wouldn't go above and beyond that with brand new hardware doesn't make sense. Except that if you go above $200, you get into the very expensive territory which Nintendo has, for obvious reasons, been shying away from in recent years. :( I hope the 3DS won't break my wallet too bad.

You're thinking of Re:Coded and that game is just a regular DS game--not 3DS. The 3DS game they have screenshots of is completely different from Re:Coded. I'm excited for Coded (I can finally play it!) but very, very suspicious of this other game. But that's kind of off-topic. XD;

Corvus of the Black Night June 17th, 2010 4:57 AM

I really hope they do the Gamestop Trade In discount like they did with the DSi and DSXL (which really didn't deserve it). If that's the case... I might actually be able to afford more than one game for the bloody thing!

The graphics were so damn good I thought Kid Icarus: Uprising was going to be a Wii game the first time I saw them :X

That's just the DS. This is how the 3DS operates with printing money.
Just noticed something- the trailer showed the 3DS printing money!

EDIT: The irony of this is that my site went overboard with 3DS news.

I wonder how many people are going to try that.

vibratingcat June 18th, 2010 1:10 AM

hey i was wondering, is there a mic? on the spec thing it didnt say anything, and there isnt a mic port next to the headphone port. how would you play nintendogs + cats like this?
im hoping they'll do more innovative stuff with animal crossing, so far the graphics have improved which is good, but i hope for more areas and items.
the mario kart screen shots look amazing. It resembles mario kart wii, with all the lighting stuff.

Katie_Q June 18th, 2010 1:49 AM

looks really good. I think I'll get red. I like red. I hope that ornacle of time thing's true, never got to play it but it looks fun. Though i might not get it until a year or more after it's release, since i just recently got a DSi, and i'm not made of money. i could put it on my christmas or birthday list, but at the moment, my parents aren't made of money either so they have to buy wii games for me instead

When it comes to Nintendogs + cats, I'm hoping for more improvements rather than worrying about the mic. It does take them a while to respond to the mic commands. Anyway, I'm hoping for a major improvement on this. Nintendogs was great, don't get me wrong, but so many things could have been fixed. I had a list back when I constantly played, but it's slipped my mind now. I haven't played in at least two years. Perhaps a better house, the ability to access more rooms in the house, have more dogs, have the dogs grow so that they can be bred, but not grow old enough to die. And this doesn't have to be done the naughty way, either. They could do something similar to breeding cows in Harvest Moon. Good ole Miracle Potion, anyone?

JakeyBoy June 18th, 2010 8:56 AM

I probably won't bother trying the Peach thing, I ruined it by overdoing it in Brawl. Them screenshots were always a great feature...

And yes, it does have a mic, though I forget where, lemme check the specs again. I never used it much in Nintendogs myself. Probaby won't get it a second time, because after a while it stopped being fun for me. But I'd totally reccomend it to anyone who didn't try it first time around and without a real dog.

EDIT: The specs don't say where, but there is definitely an "embedded microphone".

pop-tart-monkey June 18th, 2010 10:37 AM

I just wonder what the whole 3d feel is going to be like. I have seen some screenshots of games but it doesn't really show what it's going to be like at all

Sydian June 18th, 2010 3:33 PM

I don't think screenshots will show the 3D effects.

Nah, that'd be too much work. Just come back on after a while and suddenly you've got a puppy. :O

dithyrambos June 18th, 2010 10:30 PM

I love those "IT PRINTS MONEY!!!" gifs. Saved 'em both. 8Dd I really hope this comes out around Christmas, then I could ask my mom to buy it for me. Otherwise... I might have to wait. :( I haven't even told her about it because I'm so afraid of how she'll react. Also, I really don't want to trade in my DSi for it. ;_; But I may end up having to do just that. :/

Still sad to see no Black and White news. The Black 3DS is my favorite. Hopefully, it's matte instead of glossy.

I'm pretty sure they have used a mixture of matte and glossy. on the inside is matte and outside clossy and the controlls are glossy.

Virtual Chatot June 21st, 2010 6:33 AM

Girls + Technology was a dangerous combination. 8D
