Hardware The 3DS Feature Battle

[DeltaBurnt]

This is kind of like a character battle for gamefaqs or anime boards. Basically you say +1 for features you want, and -1 for features you don't want in the new 3DS. Explaining why you added to or subtracted from something would be nice also.

List:
[15] GB/GBC/GBA/SNES/Other Emulation via Virtual Console
[10] Analog Stick(s)
[10] Video Recording w/ Cameras
[8] Better Camera Quality
[7] Better Media Support (mp3, flv, real aac, etc.)
[8] Better Screen Resolution
[5] Bigger NAND/Hard drive/Internal Memory
[4] Flash Support (via tah intarweb)
[4] Multi-touch Touchscreen
[3] Motion Controls
[3] No Head Tracking to Produce 3D
[3] Playing DSiWare off SD Card
[3] TV Output
[2] Store/Save Save Files on NAND/Hard Drive/Internal Memory
[1] Better Web Browser
[0] 3D
[0] 3G Support
[0] Better Microphone
[-2] 2 Touch Screens

So I'll start off:
+1 Video Capturing with cameras
+1 Better camera quality
+1 GBA emulation via Virtual Console
+1 3G Sim Card Support
+1 Playing DSiWare off of SD card
-1 2 Touch Screens
-1 Motion Controls

EDIT: Important new rule, you can only vote for a feature once. So if you already voted for video recording in 1 post you can't vote for it again in another post. You can, however, vote for different features or request new features in a new post.

Also, please no features that obviously won't come like "+1 Piracy", and also no features that were already in the DSi because it's already very likely that those will also be included.

I will take your -1 to 2 touch screens and raise you a +1

If that makes no sense

[+1] 2 Touch screens
[+1] 3G Support
[+1] Gba Emulation

Well technically it'd go from -1 to 0. Features can be 0, it's just they're normally not shown if they're 0 (as in no one has voted for them before, but if they were +'ed or -'ed too much they just stay on the list).

[+1] Motion Controls
[+1] GBA Emulation
[+1] Better Camera Quality
[+1] Joystick
[-1] 3G Sim Card Support
[-1] Dual Touch-Screens

I doubt it will have 3G support. It's a handheld gaming device, not a cell-phone. Two touch-screens would raise the cost significantly.

 

[Vater Unser]

+1 Video Capturing with cameras (simple software feature, no reason not to have it)
+1 Better camera quality
+1 GBA emulation via Virtual Console
-1 3G Sim Card Support (unless there's gonna be a really good web browser for it)
-1 Playing DSiWare off of SD card (make that a MicroSD and we're talking...A slot for regular SD cards is a huge waste of space)
+1 2 Touch Screens
+1 Motion Controls (if you count head-tracking as a kind of motion control, this one's already for certain)
+1 Analog-stick (preferably two)
+1 actual 3D displays as opposed to rumoured head-tracking trickery

 

[BobTheJoeBob]

+1 video capturing.
+1 better camera quality.
+1 gba emulation.
+1 bigger memory. (about 5gb internal memory)
+1 save files written to internal memory instead of cart.
+1 Dual analog sticks.
-1 motion controls.

 

[geoflcl]

I don't know about GBA emulation. The console's not that old yet. Rather, my guess is

[+1] Gameboy/ Gameboy Color Virtual Console
[+1] 3G awesomeness (I remember a snippet of news talking about Nintendo's interest in this)
[+1] MP3 support (or AAC files in actual AAC format, at the very least)
[+1] It had better have DSiWare support
[+1] Prints Money

 

[Defiance]

[+1] Better resolution
[+1] Supports Flash (for online)
[+1] A microphone that actually uses decent speaking capabilities for online gaming.

 

[EpicJungle]

+1 Video Capturing with cameras
+1 Better camera quality
+1 GBA, GBC and GB Virtual Consle
+1 Analog stick(s)

 

[Zerousen]

[+1] Makes mudkipz cheezburgerz.

 

[Deleted User]

+1 Higher Resolution
+1 Analog Sticks
+1 Multitouch (on one screen)

-1 3D (Don't need it, raises cost. Name the console something else!)

 

[FencingFoxFTW]

+1 DS backwards compatibility(I'm sure it will have it, but just in case)
+1 common media support(mp3, xvid/divx, mp4, 3gp, flv)
+1 SNES emulation(for those who dont a have a PSP)
+1 Flash support(for that internetz)
+1 Opera Browser
+1 homebrew support(no chance, but it would be cool and they would be praised and win a lot of internetz)
+1 higher resolution
+1 TV out


-1 Dual touch screens(system it would be easier to mess up...think about the kids)

 

[DeMoN]

+1 Video Capturing with cameras
+1 Better camera quality
+1 GBA emulation via Virtual Console
-1 3G Sim Card Support
+1 Playing DSiWare off of SD card
-1 2 Touch Screens
+1 Motion Controls


No the 3DS does not need to be a cell phone. Two touch screens is excessive and would be hard to use in my opinion. I do want motion controls however, look how well that worked out for the iPod Touch.

 

[DeltaBurnt]

To the people who are confused about the 0. It's because it was originally -1, then someone else bumped it up 1 making it a 0 which means nothing besides that fact that not as many people want the feature.

Gimme a couple minutes to tally up the new score.

EDIT:

+1 GB/GBC/GBA/SNES/Other Emulation via Virtual Console

+1 3D (it IS the 3DS!)

-1 Better Camera Quality - with all the stuff they're gonna put into this, the last thing we need is more stuff that makes it expensive
-1 Motion Controls - more gimmicks? no thanks, 3D is enough. Hopefully it won't be used much
-1 Better Microphone - again, pointless expenses
-1 3G Support - do I have to repeat myself? Besides it'd only be for online gaming. And Nintendo could release a separate accessory for that (one that connects with 3G, and sends internet signals like a router that the 3DS can use)

True and I did not think of the expenses when I made my post,I agree with this post , but without expenses in mind my first post still stands

+1 to following
GB/GBC/GBA/SNES/Other Emulation via Virtual Console
Analog Stick(s)
Better Screen Resolution (duh)
Better Media Support (mp3, flv, real aac, etc.)
Bigger NAND/Hard drive/Internal Memory

just -1 to 2 touch screens, it would probably end up being just stupid and make the top part bigger
