Nintendo 3DS

edited September 2010 in General Chat
In the past, telltale has cited the DS's poor graphical quality to be the reason that their games didn't go there. Would the extreamly enhanced graphics of the 3DS remedy this?

    The CSI games are available on DS, though.

    I believe those were developed by a different studio with a different engine and were only semi-related to the Telltale versions for the PC and consoles.

    That's possible... I only played the Wii versions.

    This is correct information. In fact, they are even entirely separate cases. They are related in name only.

    I didn't planned to buy a Nintendo 3DS, but if Telltale starts making games for it, I'll buy one for sure.

    I think there's a decent chance that the 3DS will end up on TTGYare's "more powerful than Wii" list, somewhere between an iPhone and a Toaster, so something like Puzzle Agent or SBCG4AP shouldn't be totally out of the question.

    It wasn't a toaster. It was a microwave. Personally, I'd love if they released something for the 3DS. Eventually. I'm guessing they won't want to bother when they've just started working on the ipad and iphone. And if they do it I want some gorgeous 3D art that's got a great style and wonderful environments. And I want a pony, and my own personal airship, and every day to be Christmas, and ... oh. Sorry.

    But yeah, I'd love to see what TTG could do on the 3DS! :D

    Telltale or not, I'll get myself a 3DS as soon as it comes out.

    Telltale or not, I'll get myself a 3DS after Inevitable Revision #3 or 4.

    I want a 3DS, but I need a little more info on it first, such as does it have DSIware, and if it does, can I transfer my DSIware account over, because I'd hate to buy all that again...

    I'd definately want any game Telltale release on a DS system though!

    But all I need to know is it is the next nintendo handheld, it has 3D everything(yes 3D photos you can take.)

    I'll probably be getting a 3DS reguardless of TTG (darn you Zelda!), but it would be the cream on the cake. Imagine Playing Tales in 3D!

    Personally, i would like to see TTG, if they did make 3DS games to do both Downloadable (if it has a decent harddrive & size limit) and Cartridge.
  • edited June 2010
    I'll prolly be getting a 3DS, how soon I get one depends on the price Nintendo seem fit to put on it. And i'm guessing it's gonna be a fair bit as they're not talking about pricing yet but it'll be out by the end of the year
  • edited June 2010
    Must have now. 3D photos and games
    motion sensor to sense if the ds is moving
    NEED NOW!

    I'm not sure why anyone would want the revisions of the 3DS. I prefer my Phat to the DS Lites and DSi's. I just didn't get why I would want them.

    but 3ds is a tottaly difrent console with 3d and graphics even better than psp and it haves backwards compatibility for me is a must buy

    Why would you prefer the fat version, may I ask? The DS Lite and DSi have brighter screens, thinner frames, and in the case of the DSi a bunch of new software features, including a downloadable games marketplace. I guess if playing Game Boy Advance games is your biggest priority with the thing, but honestly I think my GBA SP is better for that purpose and it goes back farther than a single generation.

    I think the 3DS is great, but I like the design they have now for it. I don't know what more they could do to it in the future to make me want to buy a different version.

    Anyway as far as the Phat, yes, it was mostly the GBA slots although I do still own my SP. But mainly I just like it more. It looks badass in it's design, with its silver and black, its the original DS, and there's nothing about the Lites and i's that I care about or want bad enough to rebuy for. I definitely didn't care about the DSiWare, I mean there was nothing remotely interesting on it and now it's already outdated. I've had my Phat ever since the DSLite came out, and it has stayed functional and hasn't lost its juice yet; and when the 3DS comes out, I plan to still use it to play my DS games anyway.

    In fact, I liked the Phat so much more that I had a choice between getting it or waiting a week and getting a Lite and I got a Phat instead.

    He was implying that as He prefers the Phat to the lite/i/iXL he'll preffer the 3DS phat over the inevitable 3DS lite/i/XL (or whatever they'll be called)

    But, i think there is plenty of room for improvement with the 3DS, mainly in the 3D technology. It's still in it's infancy, and as various people have said, the viewing angle is quite narrow. Move your head too much, and you loose the efefct, and get a headache. I can't see the 3DS as it stands being very good on Buses (in 3D at least).

    An improvement to that would be the only thing that would make me consider buying more than one model. I bought the Lite for the brighter screens (and didn't look back), and i bought the DSi for it's support of my router settings (turns out that was only for the Shop channel), and DSiware (which underdelivered, and given that my camera doesn't work anymore, is useless to me)

    For the DS's in aesthetics: Phat>Lite>XL>i
    For performance/price: Lite>Phat>i>XL

    i must read posts more carefully XD i think that the revisions there are just only for money i think they are worthless

    I agree that the DSi revision was pointless, but the lite revision, whilst unecessary, was definately worthwhile. The colours became far more vivid, and the change was far bigger than i thought it would be. I don't think i could go back to the Phats screen. Just like i can't go back to the original GBA's screen.

    i have a phat ds ok the lite is look okay mayby i will sell my phat and buy a lite or wait for 3ds but dsi it was just nothing even the camera wasn't something that you need and can you tell me how many dsi only games are out there mayby 1 or 2 :p
  • edited June 2010
    I look at the chain this way:
    There was the phat one (Lite is just another spinoff), then the DSi (XL is the spinoff) and then the 3DS(which makes it the third). The 3DS is like the difference between the N64 and some sort of machine inbetween the Wii and the Gamecube. It also has new games, which means that the phat actually will become obsolete and out-dated. I deffinatly would like to be able to carrie my DSiWare library over, though.
  • edited June 2010
    The 3DS is completely new. It's the SNES to the DS's NES.
  • edited June 2010
    I'm gunna wait till a good chunk of the games I want come out for it, hoping it'll go down in price a lil'. If TellTale did make a 3DS game though that would be ace.

    Theres a fair few short games on DSiware, but there are no Fully fledged retail DSi games, and about 20 that are slightly DSi-enhanced (mostly shovelware titles). It was a complete dissapointment.

    If you've never tried playing a lite, you'll find the 3DS an even bigger step up than it is, seeing as it'll have brighter screens that the lite. It'll make the games look extra impressive for you!
  • edited June 2010
    Yes, the 3DS is a new generation console not just a console revision. Also, the Phat is the same as the lite except it has a brighter screen and twice the battery life. That was the major reason why I wanted one. I still have a Phat, but I'm longing for a lite. Lites still have GBA compatibility as well.
  • edited June 2010
    I'm not sure if I've said it yet, but I'll start putting money aside when it comes out, unless I'm not done saving for my next computer (I should be done saving in a year and a half) in which case I'll start saving then.
    By the time I have the money it should be cheaper and have more games available.

    Sounds plausible. There are two cameras on the back, which makes sense for taking 3D pictures.

    Have you seen it? Where?

    Also, I'm getting one the day it is released (in Australia... so, 2018)

    Can't remember, but I found images easily enough on google just now:

    nintendo_3ds_versus_ipod.jpg

    One camera on the inside over the screen, two on the outside. The images I saw were bigger so it was easier to tell.

    I think ill get a black one; having two different colours, one only on 25% and the other covering 75% is just weird
  • edited June 2010
    The 3DS comes in three colours,
    Red

    Black

    And ugly
    blue.jpg

    The look of it is apparently not finalized, however. There's also orange and purple which are the colours of the display model at E3.

    if you have the nintendo channel on your wii, go iwota asks 3ds(not the interview with miyamoto) and it will talk about the 3D cameras along with some other features(like a mode where you could autimaticly connect too another 3ds and get their stats to use ingame as an opponent or something like that,also motion sensing like the wii)
    EDIT: also did anyone notice the home button
  • edited June 2010
    The 3DS does sound interesting. I'd like to see the 3D function before I commit to buying one, but who am I kidding I'd probably get one anyway when it comes out. I got my DSphat on the day it came out, although I had a bit more money then...

    I would like to see this list. And the unfortunate fanboy in me has to point out that unless the list is a joke, which of course would be "hilarious" in the sense that everyone makes jokes about the Wii, then only really the companies that can't seem to break onto the Wii, something which seems to be monumentally easy considering the vast majority of successful shovelware it has, are the ones who feel the need to badmouth the specs.

    Of course I try to keep that fanboy repressed as much as possible, it tends to get in the way of good games.
