NINTENDO TO HOST MIDNIGHT LAUNCH EVENT AT BEST BUY TO CELEBRATE U.S. LAUNCH OF NINTENDO 3DS
New Yorkers to Ditch Their 3D Glasses for Good as Nintendo 3DS Brings Glasses-Free 3D to Portable Entertainment
WHAT: New Yorkers are invited to leave their 3D glasses at home – permanently – and join Nintendo of America for a memorable midnight launch event for the new Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system. On March 26 at Best Buy’s Union Square location, consumers and video game fans of all kinds will be treated to live entertainment, branded giveaway items (while supplies last) and hands-on demonstrations of the new system, which lets users enjoy 3D visuals without the need for special glasses. Food trucks will also be on-site to offer refreshments throughout the event. Starting at midnight, attendees will have a chance to be among the first U.S. consumers to purchase Nintendo 3DS. The first 300 attendees to purchase the system will receive a special carrying case.

Playing DS games on your 3DS results in a loss of quality
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
While some people will dismiss this as unimportant, I think it’s fair to say that I should at least put it out there before making the assumption that no one wants to hear it. According to some tests by Destructoid editor Nick Chester, the 3DS actually displays regular DS games in poorer quality. Check out these photos he took:
As you can see, there’s a clear difference between the color intensity and the blurriness of the two screen photos. The one that seems a bit blurrier and less vibrant is indeed being played on a 3DS, vs. the clearer one on a DSi.
Of course, you can play DS games in their native resolution which cleans up the image a bit, but it also shrinks the size way down. You can see in that third screen that Pokemon takes up very little of the already small 3DS screen.

In case you’re curious, Julian Gollop is the narrator behind this video. He’s one of the main developers who has been creating on Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, and he is, of course, well-known for his work on the X-COM series.
Thanks to Nathan P for the tip!
