Sony on the 3DS
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 9 Comments
“Our focus on 3D right now is on the console. There’s a tremendous amount of opportunity on PlayStation 3 with 3D. The amount of interest in 3D from the retail side and game publishers is off the charts. We know we have a hit with 3D on PS3 and we’re going to concentrate our efforts there. I think it remains to be seen where Nintendo goes with 3D on a portable. Having been in the portable space for quite awhile, I think it’s an interesting move but one I’d like to see where they go from a demographic standpoint. 8 and 9 year olds playing 3D is a little bit of a stretch given where some of our research is right now.” – SCEA’s Director of Hardware and Marketing John Koller
I’m not surprised by this response in the slightest. Even I admit that I’m a bit skeptical about playing games in 3D. However, I was also skeptical of the DS and Wii remote…And we all know how those devices turned out.

Hong Kong, March 23, 2010 – Renchi.com ( http://www.renchi.com) – a leading import video games, consoles, game gears and movies retailer, continue to be the premier supplier for DSi / DSi XL gaming accessories.
Renchi.com believes gaming accessories should not be boring. With the popularity of DSi and the new DSi XL, there are plenty of chances to pimp up the consoles and make them more personal. Renchi.com has over 200 DSi accessories and close to 50 DSi XL cases and pouches, many imported from Japan’s premium gaming brands such as Hori, Takara Tomy, Keys Factory, etc.

I sure hope this isn’t what Nintendo means by “3D” in their new system…
EEDAR believes 3DS announcement “is unfortunate” for DSi XL
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News | 0 comments
“It is unfortunate for the Nintendo DSi XL, new hardware announcements certainly impacts consumers’ willingness to purchase old hardware that may be ‘obsolete’ in less than a year. But I am sure people plan on not buying the Nintendo DSi XL just as much now as they did yesterday. Gamers have been patiently waiting for an announcement on what will succeed the Nintendo DS. Three years ago I remember seeing people bust out their Nintendo DS at the airport, on trains, waiting in-line. Now recently, I’ve noticed more and more are turning to the iPhone to quench their entertainment thirst. Also, the DS is plagued with piracy, something that Nintendo can barely control. Their only true power-move to stop piracy is to simply start all over again with new hardware. I don’t think its success will come into question. Release a new Mario title, promise us a new Link game is on the way, and dazzle us with Donkey Kong in 3D, and gamers will line-up around the block to buy one.”
Right now, I don’t know why anyone would pick up a DSi XL if they are aware of the 3DS. The 3DS will be capable of playing DS and DSi titles, so why not wait a few months? We’re only about a year – if not less – away from a new handheld release.
3DS will be playable at E3
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 9 Comments
This information comes from Ken Toyoda, chief spokesman at Nintendo….
“We wanted to give the gaming industry a head’s up about what to expect from Nintendo at E3. We’ll invite people to play with the new device then.”
The 3DS being playable at E3 is a good sign that the device will launch sooner rather than later. This also answers some of the questions regarding why Nintendo decided to announce the handheld today rather than at their conference in June. Now the question is, what type of software will be on display at E3?
