Nah, they'll just release a new PSP with even fewer features.

Still, interesting to see...

I really don't care for rumble, useless gimmick if ever there was one. Except for placing the controller in your lap or something.

Don't think making piracy even harder is going to have much of an effect... numbers suggest you only lose like 1% of sales from it.

[Mirby]

lol nice, xnamkcor.

And that is true, Justify.

[Hypershell]

It'd be nice if the inner camera could detect your eye location and distance for POV reference.

Am I the only one thinking that jerking your head = offline game lag?

Not sure if you were talking about the 3DS or potential PSP2 (Sony did say that their 3D focus is on consoles and not handhelds, though).  I'm sure the 3DS will just use the screen-shifting doohicky to work with a particular angle.  Contrary to Nintendo's DSiXL marketing, handhelds don't really need a wide viewing angle (or at least not backlit ones; I'm sure we have pre-GBASP memories).

But don't you want other people to be able to watch you play over your shoulder?

And tell me, sir, what benefit that would be of the owner of the DSi XL? [/gentleman]

Also: Now if the 3DS were to be made in the same style of the DS line, I'd want a second external mic and a video recording feature to go with it. [parasitic bomb] would be ABSOLUTELY cash.

Then you could send recordings of yourself saying "Help me OB1-Can-OB"?

[Dexter Dexter]

Apparently, the 3DS is not the name. Just thought I would post this since it has SOME relevance.

[Acid]

It will be the Nintendo... Sii

[Protoman Blues]

Or the Nintendo Dii

[xnamkcor]

Nintendo and Canon team up to make a handheld that prints [spoiler]money[/spoiler].

[Mirby]

Nintendo BS.

I don't know, it's something I saw in a pic someone linked me.

Fix your tag!

[Hypershell]

The nerd in me just squealed for joy.

Imagine when it gets hacked.  3D Moonshell.

But don't you want other people to be able to watch you play over your shoulder?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If there is one thing Nintendo needs to steal from Sony, it's handhelds with video outputs.

IGN says off the record devs say 3DS features abilities 'close to 360/PS3', does not feature Tegra chip

"Several developers that have experienced 3DS in its current form have reported, off the record, that it has processing capabilities that far exceed the Nintendo Wii and bring the device with abilities that are close to HD consoles such as PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. According to several developer sources, the 3DS device is not using the NVIDIA Tegra mobile chipset, a rumor that's been floating around since 2009." - IGN

I'm sure they're probably not talking graphics-wise, but color me interested. I'm curious to see what this will lead to.

Me like. This probably means that the browser will be better than that of the DSi and that I can watch YouTube vids.

Why would you use it to watch YouTube videos? Just get a Blackberry or iPad or something.

[Dexter Dexter]

The Wii had that capability, why not Ninty's handhelds? And screw the iPad.

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

That's not what I meant...
I mean, you would like to get this thing for its games too, right? I hope that when you do get it, you won't be using it just to browse Youtube.

[Dexter Dexter]

Actually, I didn't.

I will.

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

Actually, I didn't.

Could you rephrase that, perhaps, because "I didn't" doesn't make sense when used as a response to a "You would...?" question?

I will.

[Solar]

Why would you use it to watch YouTube videos?

Because it'd be convenient?

'Scuse me, I meant wouldn't.
