Nirron Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 From what I have heard it will be atleast as powerfull as the Gamecube. Lets hope for a Colosseum or style "3DS" game! With a lot of more features and online stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guested Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 When they meant 3D, they meant like ACTUAL 3D.... like Avatar or Virtual Boy. But no glasses needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nirron Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 This is correct. Give E3 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicGreymon Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I really hope Gen V moves to this system. Even if the first two versions are just a partial port, only using the 3D in certain special parts of the game (like the Distortion World in Platinum, etc.) and then with the 3rd version (and remakes, if there are any) being a 3DS-exclusive.

Poryhack Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 For those of you who want a sample of what this will look like, check out on head tracking 3D. It's really quite an incredible effect, I actually prefer it over glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a lot of more features and online stuff! That would be really impressive. Perhaps it will even the score with the PSP... Perhaps... In any case i was just thinking yesterday while walking how Pokemon is getting more advanced and we get this delicious news. A 3 dimensional hand-held Pokemon world would be really something... If the generation 5 game indeed is with 3D effects... well you know what game of the year probably will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nirron Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) I'd just love to see a lot more online interactivity and functionality in their games. As current online features for the Pokémon games lack quite a bit. Edited March 23, 2010 by Nirron Going a bit off-topic here :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokemonrulz Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 You won't be able to play the new games on the normal DS, won't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicGreymon Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 There's still a decent amount of hope Gen V could end up on the 3DS... although many websites seem to be throwing around the "March 2011" date, in actually reading the PDF statement on Nintendo of Japan's website, they only state: will be released in the fiscal year ending March 2011 So in actual fact, that could mean September or October this year as easily as February or March 2011. Things are really starting to look up for Gen V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YuzuruHitokiri Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'm a bit skeptical though... 3D seems like a gimmick, just like motion on the Wii was... My friend was actually joking about how Nintendo would be the first to jump on the 3D bandwagon that was approaching (I'm sure you've heard of the 3D gaming prospects by now) because it jumped on motion so quickly... Before you hail 3D, ask yourself: How EXACTLY will this improve gameplay? Why would 3D be so important? And because it's a handheld, why does it need head-tracking!?!

DeathWatch Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I saw some videos of it and it is amazing! I can't wait for it to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akothegreat Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 That video, is it just a DSi? What more if it's actually the system(which none of us saw yet) Gen 5 should have an improved function for 3DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HottSushiz Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 So hasn't anyone heard..... Why Nintendo released this information BEFORE april? Hmm i can't seem to find the page though i heard that the 3DS is an April Fools joke from Nintendo, i heard it from Kotaku, or IGN, or somewhere i can't remember. Nintendo stated that they won't create another handheld for a few more years, they told their apologizes to the fans and stated some stats like how much the DS generation sold etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mewtwo Ex Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 It was not announced before April. I think it became known around mid January - early February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HottSushiz Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Hmmm so it seemed like i was mistaken or fooled. I kept thinking either the 3DS was a joke or it's a joke that the 3DS is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ickyono Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 The 3DS is not a joke, it actually is true and will be released near the end or March or in March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
