Meh, who cares? You'll be putting them on a shelf with other DS games anyway, presumably.

Now, on another note, who's betting on a 3DS XL at some point? I'm definitely hoping for one, personally...

Maybe I should have specified the video was a joke.

PS: I hear the reason the 3DS comes with a dock is that nothing associated with the 3DS, including the 3DS, stands up by itself.

The GDC keynote with Satoru Iwata~

And...

O: OMG~!!!

First the "3D Classics" (that were previewed on E3 last year), and now Game Gear and TG16? Want~! ^oo^

And this new Mario 3DS game~

Tanooki tail~ ^^

VirusChris · March 02, 2011, 11:43:55 PM

That's awesome! I'm so glad I'm getting the 3DS now... I have $65.61 left to have my pre-order copy fully paid off and ready for pick-up!

Acid · March 03, 2011, 12:37:16 AM

Yes, I was there, in the livestream.

Will this be SMG3? Or a 3DS remake of SMB3?

VixyNyan · March 03, 2011, 12:39:46 AM

It might be a completely new Mario, but with Super Mario Bros. 3 elements that we all know and love~

(SMB3 Part 2 basically)

Like the different suits (Tanooki, Hammer Bros, Frog, etc), storing items in a bag to use later, Mushroom Houses, Overworld maps, and so on. ^^;

Hypershell · March 03, 2011, 12:54:12 AM

Careful, Vix. At "Hammer Bros", you stepped into PB's schtick of bringing up ideas too damn orgasmically awesome to imagine.

VixyNyan · March 03, 2011, 01:40:10 AM

More 3DS images from me~

3DS PB... it's purple season for him.

3DS Nyan~

VixyNyan · March 03, 2011, 03:29:30 AM

brb saving these to my 3DS~

Protoman Blues · March 03, 2011, 04:50:50 AM

3DPB is all kinds of Three Dimensionally Sexy!

And yeah, today's GDC conference info made me happy!

Solar · March 03, 2011, 05:30:00 AM

I didn't pay much attention, what did we get?

What I know:
-Skyward Sword trailer
-OoT 3D release date
-Super Mario Bros 3D with racoon tail in the logo announcement
-Some sort of tech demo of Mario Kart Wii in 3D

What am I missing?

Also, nice pics Vixy. I haven't been paying much attention, how does that AR thing work?

Portable NetFlix as well!

Solar · March 03, 2011, 05:51:09 AM

Which I'll never get to use, I'm sure >__>

xnamkcor · March 03, 2011, 06:26:59 AM

With PS3, 3DS, and PC support, I wonder if Netflix will ever start doing stereoscopic movies for Watch Now.

Hypershell · March 03, 2011, 11:48:22 PM

If they get 3D How To Train Your Dragon, I'm in.

Quote-OoT 3D release date

Missed that. All I'd caught was the new screens (which are GORGEOUS).

Solar · March 04, 2011, 12:51:45 AM

But they already announced 3D How to Train Your Dragon for the system didn't they?

VixyNyan · March 04, 2011, 03:23:17 AM

Speaking of dragons~ Guess who I drew~

Protoman Blues · March 04, 2011, 03:28:48 AM

MM2 Dragon

AWE. SOME.

Not for Netflix, specifically.

AquaTeamV3 · March 04, 2011, 02:10:54 PM

I hope the 3DS gets some kind of attachment that lets you output to your TV; maybe they could make it so that you could choose to output only one screen or both. It'd be nice for recording purposes.

VixyNyan · March 04, 2011, 03:20:41 PM

It's Nintendo. If they didn't do it for the DS and DSi, they won't do it for the 3DS.

Someone has to either get the dev capture kit or open up the 3DS and modify it on the inside.

Another way is to attach a webcam that supports a high resolution and 30 fps or higher, and then place it in front of the touch screen, using either rubber band, see-through tape that doesn't leave any marks on the system, or a combination of both. The lens of the camera can then be adjusted to be as sharp as you want it. When I live-streamed Shantae on DSiWare, I did just that. ^^;

Hmm... Is it possible to draw a 3D object proper with the given tools? I'm thinking something like how when developers make textures, they use bumpmapping and stuff, with a separate image overlaying the first telling the program where the pixels should stand out from the 2D plane of the original.
