Hardware 3DS mock-ups

[Prime_Zero]

I really don't think the 3Ds is going to be the movie type of 3D, it'll probably be more like better 3D hardware or something.

Why not

Doesn't look that different from the images of white 'fake' to me... except it's black.

Of course it's going to be proper 3D, they wouldn't name it 3DS if it weren't and sony already have good enough 3D hardware on the psp there would be no point in nintendo going that way. So they are almost definitely going to make a console that is 3D, plus sharp have already proven that it's possible.

My mock-up base off this...

Spoiler

a design i'd find interesting(made it with colors!DS)

image 1: casual mode.
for full touch games, and media playback.
what you can't see is the camera on the back, didn't bother drawing that.
imaging it's pretty much on the backside on the same spot as CAM1

image 2: action mode.
for 3D racing, fighting, and other action games played best on a nice big high-res screen.
this mode reveals the ABXY, start, select, and D-pad buttons as well as an analog stick(2nd one could be added on the opposite side near ABXY)

image 3: dual mode.
this mode is required for DS games, and offers 2 sections on 1 screen with a skin-able border in between(3DS games could come with their own border)
this mode hides the analog stick, but offers easier access to the touchscreen.


this design uses 1 gamecard slot compatible with DS and 3DS gamecards, as well as 1 SDHC memorycard slot for cards of up to 32GB.
i decided to place the 3.5mm audio port between the shoulder buttons, next to the gamecard slot, because i hate how on the DS/PSP the 3.5mm plug is always where i want my hand.
the volume buttons are on the screen section, so they don't get in the way or accidentally pressed while mashing some buttons.
4 speakers, 1 in each corner of the screen section. this is to simulate some basic surround sound and to overcome the problem of loss of stereo effect when rotating the screen.
power button is a slider like the DSlite has.
the built-in microphone is centered below the screen(in the widescreen modes)

He stole that design from the japanese blog article >.>

I remember seeing that mockup for a supposed "Nintendo DS Lite Compact".

 

[Eerpow]

This is what I think it will look like, two cameras for stereoscopical picture and video shooting.
This time you wont need to cross your eyes though, I hope...

 

[ProtoKun7]

Actually, having two cameras on each side for a stereoscopic effect would be a good addition. As long as they aren't as low-res as the DSi's.

Yeah i was surprised at how crap the DSi camera is, I uploaded a couple of pictures to facebook and I was like "Oh my god, it looks crap". It's too blurry I think.

Well some times you can get some good pics off them , altho I wish the camera was better. Better not make it worse >.>

Sweet! select and start is not there ,but the home button can cover that.

 

[Dead End]

thats almost better than your avi!!
you should make it slide up like the PSP go aswell it can rotate and slide up
it would make playing GC Games better (if they port them)

Spoiler

Hey theats the DS Lite Compact
3D Model of it shown on YT few months before the DSi was announced!

 

[WarazX]

Pretty cooool!! I also hope they have an impressive app store like the itouch

But I don't think it could turn like that when the analog sticks are popping out

Plus I wish there was a free photoshop...

I do not think they are popping out. It looks like the analog sticks are tuck in the holds/indents in this mock up...
