3DS screen bigger than DSi's, will have 3D analog sticks

3dsA pair of Japanese publications have printed some unconfirmed details regarding Nintendo's brand new 3DS handheld.

 

According to the Nikkei newspaper, the 3DS's screen measures at almost four inches diagonally -- larger than that found on the DSi but not quite as big as the DSi XL's. The paper also mentions 3D analog sticks, improvements to the battery life, better wifi, and a vibration function.

 

The Asahi newspaper, on the other hand, says that the new handheld's screen will be a parallax barrier LCD from Sharp. This LCD tech is apparently being used in Japan for cellphones. Since it's backwards compatible with DSi games, expect a camera to be included as well.

 

Nintendo announced the 3DS earlier today. A full reveal is expected during E3.

Those 3D analog sticks makes me think of the iPhone's on-screen controls. If it's just a regular analog stick, why mention "3D', right? Of course it's 3D. You're holding it in your hand!

yeah, makes me think about, too. Hopefully they won't use a touchscreen solution for the analog sticks.

The IGN article about thi, made it seem like the analog sticks will be used for 3d control (just like any modern controller), its just awkward wording in this article

3d analog sticks........maybe they are only visible with 3d glasses? :D

Most likely they are saying that the stucks move on three axises? Like X axis, y axis and maybe a button you push on the sticks to activate it, similar to a PlayStation or 360 gamepad....

it looks like they will be sued again but then again they did mention something about the classic controller pro being sold in NA in retail shops not import site like play asia

looks like it wont be tegra so it might be something else maybe the dual core snapdragon

this is copying the psp datel 3dfx and the ps3's original plan for 3d this isn't a cool move Nintendo and Sony is gonna lose a lot of money for this i can u tel that much but....i guess Nintendo has some smart people who thought about this idea either way this is good and bad for the gaming industry :lol: + :cry: = :o

ya you're absolutely right, Nintendo must have copied their idea and they're just going to work REALLY hard to have something to show at E3, the bastards.

Massive hypocrites, was it not Nintendo that came out and said the Wii will not have 3D Support unlike the PS3 because 3D is a 'waste of time'? I am pretty sure i read that article where the big boss of Nintendo came out and said 3D is shit (not like that but pretty much). So they either just admitted the Wii is a piece of shit and cant handle next generation technology. or Nintendo are huge hypocrites and while they where slamming Sony for adding 3D support they where developing this.

Lets all laugh at Nintendo!

that was Reggie who said that, he has no say on what Nintendo does or makes.

I got 2 DS's 3 DS Lites and a DSi and from what I'm concerned they aren't getting any better... I looked at the DSi XL and... WTF!? anyways... I just bought the Revenent wings DS Lite. Now the 3DS is just a DS with a 3D TV instead of the LCD... Now I may give it a try but impulse buyers are what keep Mario jumping... I heard that Nintendo has snow shovels to pick up the money. I think Nintendo is just loosing it... I preferred the DS lite over all 4 DS's and I prefer the PSP go over all the other PSP's... I like 'em small so make a smaller DS with these features not a bloody DSi XL!?
