Nintendo 3DS Specs revealed

[Wizard]

IGN has learned that the Nintendo 3DS will pack not one, but two 266MHz ARM11 CPUs, along with a 133MHz GPU, 4MBs of dedicated VRAM, 64MBs of RAM, and 1.5GBs of flash storage. The information comes from persons familiar with the hardware who spoke to us under the condition of anonymity.

 

Word? Definitely better than PSP, by a long shot.

[L.S.D]

Wow, if they still sell it cheap, this could be a killer.

[Gryph]

I've heard the 3d effect actually works.. I really want to see it in person!

[Inky]

yeah I have to see it in person before I could make any kind of judgement.

 

but with Nintendo's rep for mostly fluffy, casual, kitchy games, I doubt it would be a buy for me regardless.

[Lucandrake]

I heard you have to look straight at the screen, can't be at an angle or it won't work.

 

I always thought it would look like this

Still, with specs surpassing psp and theri solid snake game looking like a friggin ps2 games is an marvel in iteslf.

However, im just done with nostalgia, after Starfox Adventures I've done had may share of old school remakes.

BUt back to da topic.....

Personal feelings : "Wow cool... But wont buy until they make a pokemon fly out of the screen."

Since when did nintendo make a good game?

Always.

 

I spoke to a few people who were at E3 this year and they were absolutely blown away by the 3DS. It's definitely one of those things you have to see in person to experience.

Ill give it a shot.

But I have never hid the fact that nintendo have churned out a lot of crap since the wii arrived and abandoned their roots.

Abandoned their roots?

They've been reshuffling their roots like crazy!

I knew Id buy one as soon as I heard about it. When I learned about some of the specs months back it was a done deal, solidifying my decision.

 

The depth of the 3D is fantastic they say. I dont care that the screen has to be centered, its a small price to pay to not wear 3D glasses. As for the graphics, think of it like this. Remember PS2 or any other system release vs end on console life? By now texture mapping tech is off the charts. And with nifty tricks learned along the way, like the system used to tweak Grand Turismo on the PS2, they can jam out the most information possible efficiently.

 

I just hope good measures are taken when making the games. Lord knows all but one of the 3D movies I've ever seen were filled with lame gimmicks. Id be happier with a great game with visual depth alone, rather than have gimmicks flying around and at your face.

 

With the screen (much) smaller than my DSXL, the graphics should look pretty tight, even though the resolution is pretty crap. But what do you expect from 2 pixels sharing the same space (so to speak)... (1 for each eye)

 

When did Nintendo make a good game? Ever hear of Metroid? How about Super Metroid?? Yea... arguably one of the best games ever.

Oh come now guys - I was a NES user.

I learned what Nintendo was by playing NINTENDO!!

If you guys think the Wii nintendo selection is good then you are a bunch of ASS FUCKS!

Come on, I expected sharper results after metroid prime 2.

[emsley]

Mario and Luigi inside storey?

9.0 Average?

IT WAS A tonne OF SHITE BASIC CRAP!

Wake up to this shit now guys nintendo dont love you, they are your ex girl.

[Krosigrim]

I dont disagree. But you said "ever".

 

All nintendo ever did for me after SNES, is create handheld platforms for good games... which said games were practically not 1st party. I am amazed at Wii's success actually. The games are so retarded. I see tons of ppl (non gamers) playing the Mii bullshit games, boxing and so on. They even have wii sports RIPOFFS!!!! Amazing... They think it is soooo fun. Who woulda known to make rancid, easy games that look stupid so they dont intimidate the focus market group. I read about people complaining that Nintendo gets unwarranted hate... but what true gamer is going to play the small handful of games that are good, over the virtual TOWER of games on any other platform. Fuck the wii [/rant]

 

So yea... I am looking forward to Metal Gear, Castlevania, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy mainly.

Prime wasn't by developed internally by Nintendo, but by Retro Studios.

 

Wii has titles that are actually good. No More Heroes, Fire Emblem, Battalion Wars, Mad World, Monster Hunter Tri (the best game on Wii, ever), Muramasa, Tree of Tranquility, Sin & Punishment (word), Mario Galaxies. Yeah, I don't really care about Nintendo not caring, but everyone else is picking up the slack. Haters gonna hate. Haters gonna hate the fact Nintendo won this generation on sheer amount of sales. Everyone still buys DS systems too! I have 3 :/
