Nintendo 3DS smuggled off a Chinese assembly line

Bigger than I thought. I'll wait for 3DS Slim

WTF it's about the size of a DSLite
They can't possibly make it thinner!

For me it looks just a commercial trick. If he stole a 3DS he has done for me a serious error.

Who is this guy that has all previous versions of all the DS-GBA just to show it... And they even look untouched. He has 2-3 of each just for comparison? (and he show a bit of his house with a couple of good marks to find him if nintendo does this kind of things)

And why he didn't open it? I mean I don't think nothing will happen. Even a 3DS logo or something hill show up.

Edit: I just realized the final model will have it, as pointed in the post below, and Nintendo's japanese site.
Worst design choice ever.

Maybe slide pad is backlighted?

And just like that, with the E3 chick. Another hero loses his job in order to please our community.

Also, I'm still waiting for

It may be an advertising trick... Nobody knows for sure... If he will get fired or even arrested by the police, then surely Nintendo wasn't behind this

I doubt it even has any firmware on it yet, plus one would need a charger in order to use it. I doubt even if they were stolen off the production line, they haven't had the software installed on them yet.

Who is this guy that has all previous versions of all the DS-GBA just to show it...Who says they're just for show? Multiple members of this forum have more than one product from the DS/i line.

And they even look untouched. He has 2-3 of each just for comparison?No, there's no repeats. That's a DS, DS Lite, DSi (chinese), and DSi XL. It's to quickly compare it's physical differences with other handhelds from Nintendo.

The recent leaked video of the 3ds shows the unit from the side and as you can see from my screen shot, the lid does not close flush against the rest of the unit! you can see a huge gap.

thoughts....

Production piece, unfinished.

The question is how on Earth did he fit it up his anus?

Wait a second, the RAM has been "leaked" already:

CPU: 2 x 266MHz ARM11
GPU: PICA200 133MHz GPU by DMP
RAM: 64MB
Video RAM: 4MB
Storage: 1.5GB Flash-based

But when the Dev 3DS runs it says 96MB
there is 4 possibility's:
1. The "leak" a while ago was false
2. This is fake
3. The changed the RAM amount
4. The Dev 3DS needs more RAM to do Dev stuff...

I don't know why I think this, but maybe there's 64MB dedicated to '3DS mode' and the other 32MB is dedicated to 'DSi/DSL mode'. This is a pre-production handset after all, and it could just be displaying the total amount of RAM on board. There may be other screens on that unit displaying the clock speeds of the CPUs too, we just don't know...

My 2 cents though, I say clever Viral Marketing/Publicity stunt. Remember, the 3D effect can't be seen unless you look at it with your eyes, so Nintendo are gonna have a tough time advertising this 3D unit normally. I'd expect a lot more clever advertising from Nintendo regarding this device...

For some reason I was looking at the DSi XL -_-. Need to go to sleep.

I think it's this one

I mean, 98MB of RAM isn't a lot

The PSP 1000 only has 32MB of RAM.
The original DS and DS Lite only have 4MB of RAM.

Consoles != PCs.

Heck, the Wii has 88MB of RAM.
96 is plenty.

Hey everyone good news (maybe)

The man is using a flashcart on his DS:

So he is a real person that will help to hack the 3DS?

You can see the cameraman in the video so there are 2 people there, but based on current info it may not be functional (taken of the line too early)

0.o Maybe Nintendo give developers one to test their code on.
Fixed

Also if you look its a ds lite with a flash card in it and not the 3ds

I said DS not 3DS..... The DS has a flashcart inside do maybe the person is from a flashcart team/developer?
