The 3DS would have been a lot better if it had a better camera. Even my phone has a 5 megapixel camera.

Time Agents have vortex manipulators. There are other ways of time travel.

Also, the 3DS takes 3D pictures. These cannot be easily viewed on anything but the 3DS. And the camera resolution is greater than the 3DS screen its self. A higher resolution camera would be frivolous.

MP4 is also a container. If they did have MKV I would hope that they would use the H264 codec.
And I agree. Ninty probably isn't going to use it.

Agree, the music player in DSi doesn't even support MP3, which is ridiculous. How does the video work on Wii - I recall they were using shitty MotionJPEG ? Too bad NVidia's Tegra hasn't been chosen, it supports 720p H.264 decoding out of the box...

Tegra would really highten the price if I've read correctly on it.

Didn't Nintendo say that the 3DS will have the biggest launch library ever?
they said it's the biggest third party launch support for a nintendo system how ever all I can see making launch is dj hero 3d and the ea sports games with the rest to follow after the release

Yeah, that's what I meant. Because of this, I can assume that several, if not, most of the third part games that were officially announced will make there way to launch day. Plus, I expect Kid Icarus, Mario Kart, Star Fox, Animal Crossing, and some other first part releases as well. So, even if they don't have all the games shown at launch, the launch library should still be really good.
I can expect, Kid Icarus, Star Fox, EA sports titles, DJ Hero 3D, OOT, Nintendogs and Cats (2 versions possibly). And that's what I can think of unfortunately I don't believe AC will be released with launch, I think MK 3DS has a chance so that it'll take use of tag mode but do I really want to get my hopes up, knowing ninty it'll probably released a few weeks later.

Pilot Wings was a playable demo, so that should be expected for launch. I'm also thinking Sims 3, Professor Layton, Samurai Warriors, Splinter Cell, and Ghost Recon. Maybe Ridge Racer too, but I don't know about that.

Yeah it would have, also guessing what everyone has been saying their using the 2008 model which you do need to think about.

What we know is the in 2009 Project Sora was formed. Sora Ltd was the first company outside of nintendo to receive the dev kit, of course the first team being the Pokemon Company. Now then if 2009 was when they distributed dev kits to third parties, then that means the kit must have been finalized in 2008 if what people are saying about the 2008 model, there for at that time the graphics chip was brand new, also note in 2008 the tegra was also announced this means that they only ordered tegra to test out against the pica200 thus making pica overall choice for ninty.

Also to pachura I think nintendo didn't want MP3 support because of like license fees or something. Also they removed it from wii with photo channel 2.0

Also you're taking about 720p, but why? Firstly you would need a screen that could support 1280X720 resolution, and thats not all, making a screen having a higher res than it's size is expensive. Also it does take quite some power, I know, my old PC would go into 100% when trying to watch in HD.

I don't think it would drain it too much seeing as the PSP2 is going to use it.
Actually, the word is that the PSP2 is using the Tegra 2, and it wasn't showcased at E3 due to technical difficulties with the chip. Chiefly, massacred battery life.

Edit: http://www.psp-hacks.com/2010/07/15/rumour...power-problems/

Even if it had battery usage problems, why wouldn't they show it at E3. The consoles at E3 are connected to power, so nobody would've noticed. That is, unless the PSP2 somehow uses energy faster than it can recharge it.

Heh. Hard to say. Perhaps they can't get around the issue, and are contemplating switching chips. Would Sony show PSP2s running Tegras on the E3 showfloor if they were planning to switch the chips? You know the PSP2's showing will be all about the device's raw graphics power. They have to know what they're using before they show it off.

They aren't the only ones that can use them, you know.

And considering that the cameras for the 3DS are designed for the 3DS when it came to looking at or editing the pictures, you'd end up zooming to ridiculous levels as well with higher resolution cameras.

Forward in time, definitely.

I think the fact that the pictures will be 3D will be enough to distract people from the resolution at the moment. I would prefer it if the resolution was higher though.

I wasn't so excited in April, because at that point it was nothing special. When they unveiled at E3 I learned how epic it was gonna be.
