Hi guys! I'm here again for GBAtemp. Anyway, I knew about 3DS, Nintendo's upcoming handheld gaming console.
3DS will unveiled at this year's E3. Before E3, here are my rumoured features for 3DS:
- Powerful as GameCube or PSP than Nintendo DSi
- LCD screen made by Sharp
- Dual screen or single screen
- NVIDIA Tegra chip or a GameCube processor
- Dual sensor-based cameras (front and back) with 3 megapixels and GAflash
- One or two analog stick
- Accelerometer (used for Apple's iPhone and iPod touch)
- Multi-touch screen (used for iPhone and iPod touch) or touch screen (with stlyus and used for Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi) support
- GameCube engine (instead of GBA engine used for Nintendo DS)
- mini disc (as GameCube), game card (used for DS and DSi) or nothing but download 3DS games (used for iPhone, iPod touch and PSPgo)
- Region-locked or region-free for 3DS games
And that's it. But wait, there's one more thing to talk about 3DS: it will always be an anti-piracy system, so hackers can't hack 3DS.
These features for 3DS will be revealed at E3. So what do you think about my rumour features for 3DS?
*What do mean Gamecube Engine??? and how does the DS uses GBA engine??? are you talking about game engines?? those are made independently by the dev.
*Camera's are a given they will probably be there for the head tracking if they use that for 3D to tell where you are
*It will not use a disc, Nintendo would never do that, sony learned the hard way that discs aren't good for handhelds. they would be shooting themselves in the foot to be download only again like sony with the PSP go
*They won't be using a "gamecube" processor which is a IBM PowerPC unless IBM made a portable version, which I doubt as seeing they wouldn't even make portable ones for apple that's why apple left, no high powered efficient G5 for laptops
*They will be using a ARM processor and everyone says they will be using a System of Chip made by Nvidia called the terga 2, unless they went with old tech the Terga 1 which the Microsoft ZuneHD uses. to be clear the tegra is not a processor its a chip that contains the entire system, hence the name System on a chip (SoC)
* LOL everything is hackable, it will be hacked, and I would assume team twizzer might be the ones to do it too.
*Multitouch is unlikely how would you hold the system and use two hands to touch the screen?
*Accelerometer alot of stuff uses that, not just the iphone, not really sure on this one, I don't see the point. personally I don't like having to move and shake the entire object like a ipod touch or phone, I can see it as viable method for telling how the system is oriented at a angle
*it has to have 2 screen since it's backwards compatible with the DS, and Nintendo even said they had a way to make it so there is no gap
What does your first point mean???
