3DS conference announced

[Assax]

Nintendo is going to hold a 3DS Developer conference on May 17th, 2011.
According to the website they are going to talk about the future of their new online shop as well as Street Pass, AR etc etc.

The Nintendo 3DS provides the most connections and distribution opportunities of any system Nintendo has launched. We will be discussing the various methods of content/messaging distribution the device has to offer, and how your products can leverage each of them. The Nintendo 3DS system allows you to reach your audience everywhere they go using online, (wireless broadband connection) and peer to peer through 80211 based local wireless communications. The event will also cover the features native to the system that will drive its use, and provide new ways to surprise and entertain.

Features covered in the presentation will include:

Online Matchmaking

Will you be able to use Nintendo points on the E-shop? Or has this already been discussed?
Because I went to Gamestop the other day and they said that you can use them when the E-shop comes out.

No points anymore, at least not the usual ones, Nintendo is switching to real currency this time.

Oh. Well thats a shame, considering I bought a points card for it. Hopefully Gamestop will let me return it and let me get one of those 3DS card things.

I don't think they're allowed to do returns like that. Just spend the points on DSiware or WiiWare.

I hope for an app to play access/play the new pokemon online tcg w/o needing a pc. Or for the costume netfront to work with both the online tcg and dream world.

Apps didn't saw that coming

I hope MSN or some other social media app ^^

 

[Ryupower]

that the May update should come out around or after that 3DS Developer conference (on may 17th 2011)

I doubt we will have access to that part of the Conference 'brah...

 

[shakirmoledina]

the most intersting for me will be the anti-piracy part cuz it will decide if i truly buy a 3ds or not

 

[chrisrlink]

man if we had a double agent in nintendo they would be so screwed but if thats the case i'd give the mole 2 months till his cover is blown

That won't say anything at all. You'd have to wait for a 3DS conference by other people, like Team Twiizers for example. : )

 

[tenentenen]

I'm sure the "Apps" won't be much, probably Game-esque titles such as Flip-note, but I'm sure we'll hear about Netfilx as well, and Internet Browser.

I think he was referring to what Nintendo has to say about how they plan to combat piracy. It will likely give the homebrew community a better idea of what types of challenges lie ahead. And it is listed on the agenda for discussion. Nintendo can be expected to offer some overview to developers for how they plan to combat piracy on 3DS.

If you want to break the front lines, it's always good to know what type of tactics the enemy plans on employing.

 

[ChaosBoi]

Here's hoping they will allow users to create and distribute their own apps *fingers crossed*. Then there wouldn't be any reason for them to complain about people using flashcarts for homebrew or whatever.

 

[Scott-105]

I can't wait. I hope some good games are announced, and release dates and such.

 

[jerome27]

I'm going.

Seriously? Reggie: Nintendo not interested in 'the garage developer,' still likes indies (just don't mention the garage)
