Nintendo execs talk video-recording functions for 3DS

3ds_abWith the release of Nintendo's 3DS just literally around the corner, more and more details are coming about it, albeit still in tight trickles. Nonetheless, whatever we're getting from it all sound really good so far. The latest session of Iwata Asks yields some more of these information goodies, particularly about video-recording functions.

 

 

Reported Andriasang, Shigeru Miyamoto was quoted to have mentioned the bit about Iwata tweaking the handheld's 3D photo feature to accommodate a video feature. Satoru Iwata, for his part, chimed in and said that if they were going for that feature, then it would just have to follow the release of the 3DS, most likely by way of a firmware update.

 

 

It's still no confirmation, definitely, but the fact that it's been brought up hints heavily at it being seriously considered by the company. We'll let you know as soon as we hear anything concrete.

sounds good to me! in my opinion, i don't see a reason why they wouldn't throw this function in. what about you? will it be an added come-on for the 3ds?

I've asked you before and you never bothered to respond. WHY DO YOU CARE?

Chill out. It's how they run their site. They are sparking conversation. If you don't like it, leave.

I see plenty of reasons why they won't "throw this function in". But let me raise just one such reason - the DS and DSi didn't support mp3. Such a basic format, not to mention that the DSi feature a "audio player", which could only play Windows 95 type audio. So pardon me if I don't believe Nintendo will kindly add this feature, unless Sony will add it to their PSP2 first. And even then...

Depending on what kind of security they have lined up...it would make sense if they waited to release it later. More of a chance to force users to update and patch whatever holes they've found.

Or, the security will be on par with the past and not mater one bit!

Another great reason to have this auto-updater! I can't wait to see what else may come of this, other than blocking piracy, of course.

I can't imagine a single reason in the world why anyone would want an AUTO updater.

It wont happen. Why? Nintendo history.

For example, Nintendo promised to release a DVD playing Wii console early on after the Wii launch.

Since nintendo failed to honor their promise, homebrew made up for that and released a Wii DVD player.

Also the Wii is the first nintendo system to have updatable firmware. Was this so new features could be later added? Nope, just half-assed security updates, removal of mp3 support, and USB keyboard support since every Wii owner needs that....

I think 3d movie recording/playback will only be possible after the 3DS is hacked.

Ditto for the DSi. Mine could "magically" play mp3s when using moonshell :D
