In my last post I went into why I thought the 3D would be considered a failure in the 3DS. I proposed that in order for the 3D to work on the 3DS we would need 720p and at least a 5 inch screen.
This got me to thinking. Nintendo usually has 4 or 5 different versions of their handhelds per generation. I purpose that for the 3DS, they create a 3DS HD alternative. The 3DS alternative would have 720p and I purpose a 6 inch screen.
Now, I am sure many of you will say, you can't do that. The game developers would have to develope games for 2 systems instead of one, or lose profit. Here are my answers for that:
1- They can create games for the 3DS resolution, and the 3DS HD would upscale them to 720p
2- Currently I cannot play DSi games on my DS if the game uses any of the DSi features
Just think of the benifits:
1- Some game developers would develope in 720p
2- The 3D effect on a 6 inch screen would be equivalent to the 3D effect on a 86" TV, so it will be a lot more encompassing
3- It would make it worth while to watch movies
4- It would make it worth while to watch movies in 3D
So the question is, what is the most you would be willing to pay for something like this if Nintendo would actually do this (which they won't).
