3DS Menu Impressions
3DS NEWS!

The 3DS will feature the ability to zoom in/out from the main menu allowing for 64 icons to be displayed on the screen at once. The software will feature a multitasking function which will allow users to pause game play and bring up a main menu. From the main menu users can view gaming hints (IE: guides), access the Browser, and more. Miis, a 3D movie viewer, and mini-games will also be included. For the complete story on the 3DS O/S software check the source link below.

we just don't get real time save, slowmotion and cheats, but who need it? Nintendo knows exactly what DS owners want.

I'm not talking about flashcards. I'm talking about customers.

That was a good read altho i already knew pretty much everything they covered and its just convinced me that this will rock.

The game notes feature is a great idea and ill prolly play face raiders when im showing off my 3ds to my friends. What i really wanna know more about is those AR cards and how they work and if its possible to like point the 3ds cam at a picture of the card or a printed image of the card and it still works. i really have no idea HOW they work lol

The technology has actually been around for a while.

Pretty sweet, away from that I think some sort of AR pokemon game would be neat.

If anyone is interested, theres easy ways to experiment for AR if you want. All you need is flash

EDIT: I've tried these and its fun to mess with em once you get a grasp on Flash Based AR

i mainly like the fact tht u can see the browser page.. more like an iphone i guess except yer app doesnt close. considering the iphone screen is quite large, 64 icons...? will tht even be possible?

yeah that'd be cool, collecting 151 pokemon cards all over again, 649 would be too much o_o

Omg it comes with Face Raider??
COOOL !

 

[Maz7006]

finally; sounds a bit more promising, hope its nippy.

This is what I've always dreamed of. Miis on the DS (even though this is the 3DS) and multitasking; use a walkthrough while the game is at pause*.


* Correct?

 

[Erdnaxela]

* Correct?

Yeah, multitasking "freeze" the game.

Kinda offtopic but kinda on topic as well because its related to AR. Try it out people. It's pretty good.

Multitasking is definitely a step up, super handy for games like Fire Emblem to check where some hidden items are. Good they are thinking about the menu too, ability to zoom in and out will definitely come in handy.
