Hardware Possibly the 3DS?

[Rydian]

So wait, where is it confirmed it's fake? Just people making accusations that it's shopped (where it looks like it is)...>_> is there any REAL confirmation and not just an opinion?

READ.

In real life, things don't CLIP INTO EACH OTHER.

 

[Forstride]

For now, I think this could actually be a prototype. I don't think one solo person would go out of their way to make something like that, and for it to be fake. I'm not saying it's real or fake, but it looks extremely similar in design to a DS Lite, with the gloss, headphone port, etc...I mean, dev teams have already gotten development kits for it, and they need something to test their games on, and actual hardware would be the best thing, since an emulator is slow and unreliable, and it can't provide the 3D-without-glasses that the 3DS is supposed to have.

 

[Rydian]

These images were made with a 3D modeler, they're not actually real. If this is a prototype, that's pretty cool and all, but it's confirmed they're no real because in real life, solid objects do not clip into eachother.

Urgh...If people bother to read, the article clearly states that its a prototype...

Hmm, Maybe someone 3D rendered the prototype, instead of taking pictures, as to avoid any legal problems?

Making a custom 3d model just to leak it, when you have the thing yourself? don't think so.

has anyone actually thought about the Name 3DS

alot of people just jump and say OOHH 3D

but anyone thought of the Life of the DS

DS FAT & Lite (First Gen DS)

DSI & DSI XL (Second Gen DS)

3DS (3rd Gen DS)

anyone thought the 3 could just be the gen number

or if where believe these pics it means the screen can rotate in the 3 dimensions

It's probably just a prototype.

If it is... that means ANALOG STICK!!!

It looks cool, but it looks like it would be to unbalanced when its open. So you would have to try to hold it up.

Edit:

In addition to the SD card and DS slot, there's the slot for the microphone/headset thing like all the other DS's. It seems like it could be legit, but definitely not even close to being finished.

If it had an analog stick, you wouldn't be able to close it.

And that DPad looks ugly. It looks fat and has no lines parallel to the direction its facing

Lol. Just wanted to say I love your signature. Some of the funniest quotes I've seen. Especially since I remember most of them.

Yes, because everything on the internet is the ultimate truth.

 

[Arm73]

Why can't you guys give it the benefit of the doubt ? Is it so much to ask ?
Every time we see something new and unexpected, everybody jumps pointing guns and screaming FAKE.
It's the same every time.
Photoshopped or not, it's a nice , plausible concept. I'd rather wait a few more months and see what it really will look like when it'll be reviled.
Those guys analyzing the little microscopic details on the picture to prove it's fake are pathetic.
It's an interesting concept for a prototype never the less.
I'll just wait and see.

Its also a fake because it lacks the shoulder buttons which are needed to be 100% backwards compatible with ds/dsi and it also it lacks the two cameras which are also needed for dsi backwards compatibility. Full backwards compatibility was confirmed by Nintendo.

Shoulder buttons were on the back...there were pictures and everything.

still there is no camera on the back

I only disputed the shoulder buttons.

For all we know the camera could come up when you slide the screen upwards, think of it as a way to protect the lenses.....
Like I said , we don't know shit at this point, this is just an idea of what a prototype could look like, and people still comes here to scream FAKE......in this case without even looking at the fricking picture where you can clearly see the shoulder buttons, so much for an argument.

 

[DeMoN]

OBJECTION!
....
Prototype or not, it should not have cross-tip screws.
This has been Phoenix Wright, solving another mystery.





Nah, just kidding. It could be real, but I hope not because it's as ugly as fuck. It's not like Nintendo to design something that's not sleek and sexy. I think they'll change it before release just like how the original prototype DS was changed. Plus, I hate the DS-mode on this thing. It seems like you're playing an extra-long GBC.

Can someone tell me what this picture compares:
