Well this will be my next purchase then. Cautiously aware as to whether this is a new console or the DS with 3D. I imagine the former seeing as it would be incredibly difficult to add backwards compatibility for all the other DS games.
Meanwhile, 3D on the go? Hmm. I'll remain skeptical for now.

They've been using 3D displays like this for years in cell phones in Asia. We just haven't seen them over here because we're not as cell phone crazy and the displays are still far too expensive for televisions. Not to mention the problems that arise from a limited "sweet spot" when dealing with a large display.
Nice to see it coming to a gaming platform but it isn't really anything new. So exactly the sort of thing Nintendo has been doing with all of their systems lately.
I just hope they have a capacitive touch screen and a dpad that doesn't blow harder than a 360 controller his time around.

No thanks, I hope all these shitty gimmicks end soon. "BLAHBLAHBLAH FUTURE BLAHBLAH" Bullshit. It will fade and die away. I just want to relax and play games not get a headache from them being in 3D.
HOLY SHIT LOOK IT HOW REAL IT IS
THREE-FUCKING-D!
I CAN ALMOST TOUCH IT.
RAGE.
Shit. I need sleep.

and now 3D is officially coming to the gaming land after raping our eyes in cinemas, thanks a lot nintendo
Wow. Whoa. This is huge if it's true. And I imagine someone at Nintendo will be committing hari-kiri over the leak.
Tron: Head tracking perhaps?
I'm excited. We haven't had a truly new Nintendo portable system since 2004 and this will be the first new system introduced since the Wii and the PS3 hit in 2006. I'm ready for new hardware and a 3D solution that doesn't require glasses is all the better.

It's amazing that they're announcing this already, considering that the DSi XL isn't even out in North America yet.
Huh. I can't even imagine how they're going to do this, unless they're going the Virtual Boy route of two separate screens, one for each eye.
NO 3D GLASSES, BULLSHIT! I'm hollowing out my Virtual Boy and installing my soon to be 3DS to get my 3D on this fiscal year.
....and I was totally planning on buying a DSi XL later in the month.
Don't hate. I like bigger screens and I'm a Nintendo whore. I think it's safe to say I'm putting a hold on that purchase.

Have you guys seriously never heard of this sort of technology before? They do it with two screens layered on top of each other and angled so that one projects an image for the left eye and the other for the right eye. It doesn't work for televisions because there is a very narrow "sweet spot" in which the effect works, which is easy for someone to maintain when holding the device fairly close to their head but would require you to sit very still in a very specific position relative to your TV for your television to produce images in this manner.
Even if the whole viewing angle thing were figured out in a way that would work for general television use (which might not even be a possibility) you'd have the issues of cost for two large displays of this type and the limited market of people who would be willing to pay for such a display when the 3D effect could only be used by one person at a time.
It makes a lot of sense for a mobile gaming platform and almost none for a non-mobile platform.

I don't see 3D as an improvement, particularly not to handheld gaming. You're still going to have to use a stylus if it's backwards compatible anyway. I can't see them incorporating touch screen etc. without using it for this 3DS too.
Also, my bullsh*t detector's going off.

The Silent Protagonist: It's definitely something new for gaming. My "stance" is that these idiots talking about their bullshit meters going off need to get a fucking clue. Also, go choke on a cock.
@hpv There's no need for talk like that. You made it sound like it was nothing special, I wasn't left with the impression you were trying to "enlighten" others.
Well, considering that they haven't announced what kind of tech is going to be used leaves the window open for a lot of possibilities. I doubt it's head tracking, but I threw it out there because it was the first thing that came to mind.
Sounds awesome! I remember when I was in Japan last time, there were already commercials for a 3D KDDI phone too. This is probably using the same technology. Cool stuff.
Johnny Chung Lee already figured out how to do 3D without glasses. Use the the built-in camera for headtracking. Ta da!
I'm with Death By Yeti. 3D uses up a HELL of a lot of power, and at the best of times only looks mildly convincing. Whatever solution they have to remove the goggles from the equation had better be fantastic, and even if it is it'll prove as a pretty big burden to the rest of the console.
Definitely NOT sold on this.
