There are already threads like this, I believe... and very few "facts" are quoted here.

BTW, the top screen is in fact 3.53", and the bottom is 3.02"

ok

You should also know that the EB Games Australia price is made up. They don't know what it is now, they're using it for a placeholder, as they say themselves. I suggest you add a comment there to say it's their own speculation.

Also, the release date isn't known in any way. We DO know that it is set for release anytime from now to March 2011, confirmed by that original Nintendo press sheet that was found on their website. It could come out anytime between now and then. So no later than March 2011.

thanks mate, i did hear one of them on e3 saying 3DS will be released in at least 1 country before end of 2010 tho.

 

[Deleted_171835]

The increased processing power is for 3D games because displaying two things at once is processor-intensive. For 2D games, wouldn't we be able to dedicate all the processing power to the game allowing to the game to have better graphics.
Or does the game depend on the GPU to render better graphics.

 

[Hiz_95]

I seriously doubt that it is "possible" for the 3ds to have ps3/360 like graphics.
Can you post the source for the confirmation of video chat please?

 

[murkurie]

Where did they announce video chat? I haven't seen that anywhere

 

[omgpwn666]

Dude, I loved the graphics comparison section, made me very excited. Thanks. lol

 

[Nollog]

An EA fellow rumored it in his interview at the e3 site.
I didn't hear that in the interview, but apparently other people did.

1st game release date revealed?

Spoiler

http://www.planetds.de/news/1276801104.html

I like the compilation of stuff, but I have a few qualms. (each line or paragraph relates to each spoiler)

When did anyone at Nintendo say 2010? It's March 2011 until they give a more detailed date than the end of their fiscal year in Japan (March).

Friends list was implied, by an EA fellow, not confirmed. Video chat, I never heard of until web-sites well known for spreading false rumours started saying it.

.3 megapixels, and the outside camera's are normal camera's. There's no such thing as a 3d camera, they just both take a picture, one for each eye.

That's a nice comparison, but we don't know if those were cut-scenes or what yet.

The 3DS logo is on the other side of the box, that store must fail at photoshop.

idk about this one, i swear i heard one of them at e3 say its being released before end of 2010.
i wonder where tho

Friends list was implied, by an EA fellow, not confirmed. Video chat, I never heard of until web-sites well known for spreading false rumours started saying it.
just listen to iwatas words while hes talking about the online features for 3DS at e3, he said being able to know when friends are online, & things in that category.

.3 megapixels, and the outside camera's are normal camera's. There's no such thing as a 3d camera, they just both take a picture, one for each eye.
Nintendo said it takes 3D pics & vids, if thats not a 3D camera idk what is....

QUOTEThat's a nice comparison, but we don't know if those were cut-scenes or what yet.

they were demos(in game play), they were able to control the cam with the analog stick.
& that one screen on wii vs 3ds is from kid icarus uprising.

i didnt make that box art, it was on the site. follow the link see for yourself.

 

[Nollog]

I know it takes 3d pictures, but it's not specifically a "3d camera".

Just semantics, don't worry about it.

I mean more like the splinter cell and metal gear images that were released on the e3 site, they might be cut-scenes, certainly look too good to be true.

I know you didn't, I was just commenting.

Says the release date was a "technical error"

 

[DeltaBurnt]

I don't ever remember there being a green 3DS color.

I believe it's photoshopped. I think it was mentioned that it was by or for Spikey.

So since someone photoshops a DSi to have a another color it is now officially going to be released with that color? :|

Hey, hey think he/she trying to be a good member of the site, no need to bring that back.

He/she just probably didn't know it was Photoshop :/
