I don't know exactly WHY but I am that way with everything especially electronics. Maybe I have a bit of OCD running through my veins, but I feel like it is important in design to be symmetrical. The design with 2 different screen sizes just strikes me as sloppy, and being the person I am I don't think I could stare at something that is so..off balanced.

I guess I appreciate the DSi design so much more but I do like the addition of what looks like an analog stick.

Yeah, and also the fact that the bottom screen is not 3D frustrates me, what ever happened to the two screens being 'extremely' close together? A review on engadget said that when you look at the top screen in 3D mode it takes about a second for your eyes to fully adjust, and that looking from screen to screen was painful because of the delay it took for you eyes to gain the 3D effect again.. I duno, its just a DS with an analogue nub and 3D capabilities? Il pass this one up..

i was watching e3 just now and was amazed by the graphics this thing can handle. pit and donkey kong looks amazing. and analog! %$#@ yeah!

-1 # hehe — Zhipp 2010-06-15 21:56

I have to say i am not wow'ed by it at all, But i guess you have to see it for your self to understand whats new and how the 3D works, Can't wait till they have one displayed in a store like (Gamestop or Walmart)

# RE: ..... — ISOHaven 2010-06-15 19:58

so far all the people that have touched it said the 3D looks very polished and very well put together.

-2 # RE: RE: ..... — jacobian91 2010-06-15 23:42

Wait...did you just support a Nintendo product?

Also, woo analog stick.

-1 # RE: RE: RE: ..... — ISOHaven 2010-06-16 12:20

???

I support all good products and Nintendo has TONS of them.

I think you have me confused with someone else.

# RE: RE: RE: RE: ..... — Fat Trousers 2010-07-04 09:28

I doubt isohaven can speak for ALL those who saw the 3DS.

I mean, ALL the people that touched early pre-production models said that? No. There were no actual playable games to show off, so I doubt ALL those who tried it can say how well the 3d effect works.

-1 # RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: ..... — ISOHaven 2010-07-06 13:31

You are posting in an article that is about E3. So take my comment, use some brain power and realize that it's about all those people at E3 that have used it, then SPOKE about it (i.e reported news).

+1 # new is better — wings00000 2010-06-15 13:43

looks like Nintendo can still make a well designed game system. now I just want to see how powerful it is.

-1 # RE: This is the Nintendo 3DS — Glenn M. 2010-06-15 13:46

im a little concerned about battery life..

-2 # ............. — xchepito13 2010-06-15 13:58

Lol I rather wait for the Nintendo 3DSi XLL,,,I'm sure the battery life will be better

# RE: ............. — Anonymos-M 2012-03-13 01:50

Of course it will But 1st let us c

-1 # AWSOME! — jhonny 2010-06-15 14:03

wow , looks like this is going to take A majure advantage on all compacting visualistics 3d systems, as all as sony , apple and microsoft. this would change the revoulution of our portable gaming expierience.

-1 # RE: This is the Nintendo 3DS — soulinduced 2010-06-15 14:12

i think its pretty damn amazing..very surprised to see them get on with the graphical upgrade..andf a upgrade it is..im impressed..waiting to see what sony delivers as far as the psp2...if there is going to be one anyway..for their sake..i hope they have it

-1 # RE: This is the Nintendo 3DS — senz 2010-06-15 14:26

If the 3DS is as powerful as the GameCube then Sony will need to reveal something impressive to beat it..

# nice...... — SharkyTrs 2010-06-15 14:31

Microsoft has natal,
Sony has move,
I was waiting for nintendo to pull out a contender.
as for battery life, I once had a 16 hour stint on my original Ds playing Aria of Sorrow, with it being asleep for 10 hours overnight inbetween (I'd just got it that weekend lol). If the 3ds can handle just half that I'd be happy.

-3 # RE: nice...... — Zircor 2010-06-15 15:32

Nintendo's "contender" to the Natal and Move is a little thing they revealed a while back called the Wii....

-1 # RE: This is the Nintendo 3DS — fastdan 2010-06-15 14:33

Doesn't it look like it has 2 cameras on the front?

# the cameras — justsomeone 2010-06-15 16:35

ya i was thinking they would try and make your picture you take look 3d

# Yes. — zzk2001 2010-06-15 18:05

If you watched the E3 you would know that YES it has two cameras so that it can take 3D pics, and has Title control so you can move the 3DS and it will control somethings etc etc.

# RE: This is the Nintendo 3DS — MangoScango 2010-06-15 14:45

I'll probably grab it, bout time to upgrade my original DS. So long as I can get R4 or something on it

-1 # Imagine if Apple stole this. — Juf 2010-06-15 23:48

They'd make so much money with an "iPad 3D" Lmao. Anyway back on topic, I was never a DS fan but if it's as good as I imagine then I'm on board.

-1 # 3d cam...... — gen21 2010-06-16 07:16

is that a 3d camera?the two dots....

-1 # screen — zzk2001 2010-06-16 14:48

Really if they was going to mess with Dif size screens they should have made the top one As big as it could have been and set the speakers on the Hinge or on the bottom.

I mean from what i keep hearing is that the Touch screen DOES NOT support 3D it's only the top screen.

-1 # Well — Dax 2010-06-16 16:14

True, the bottom screen is 2d, but think about it this way. Many people playing don't take care of their touch screens that well and grime would defeat the 3d screen.

Also remember that no company releases its top technology. They all have back up so they can suck money from their lower end stuff before upgrading. Apple seems to be the king of minor updates -_-

So, I would speculate that the system will get redefined about 3 years after its release. Also I would expect cell phones to start incorporating some of this stuff in the next couple years following the release.

It's all market battle where we get the goods little by little =D
